Powers said, ‘It’s been wonderful, and Nebraska democrats have been inspired by our two outstanding candidates who conducted a very positive campaign.

Mook countered that even if Sanders were to “eke out” a victory in MI, the Clinton campaign’s sophisticated delegate targeting strategy and her demonstrated strong performance among African American voters will more than offset it.
Mook’s memo, which was largely meant to underscore Clinton’s overwhelming lead and Sanders’ daunting path to the nomination, raised serious questions about Sanders’ strategy of investing heavily in states where he sees a chance to win while ignoring others where Clinton is favored. “All across our country today, Democrats voted to break down barriers so we can all rise together”.
Bernie Sanders won primaries in his home state of Vermont and Oklahoma.
That’s 47 delegates. And just like in the congressional districts, get 50 percent of the state-wide vote and you’ll take all 47 delegates.
“Our hope is that we can win a number of states and in those states where we don’t do well, obviously we want as large a vote as possible”, Mr. Sanders said. “I will tell you after a lot of thought, I voted for me for president”, a smiling Mr. Sanders told one man after taking a selfie with him.
However, after the caucus chaos has settled it is becoming increasingly likely that Hillary Clinton could win the state. “We have to make America whole”, Clinton said.
“She a victor and it’s high time we have a woman as president”, Clinton supporter Chuck Murphy said.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton stepped up her fundraising dramatically last month but still fell far short of the huge sums enthusiastic donors showered on her rival Bernie Sanders. “Ultimately, if we have to elect someone who is borderline insane to get people to understand what’s going on, then that’s what we have to do”. In South Carolina, for example, she was able to be successful despite the fact that black turnout was only around 40 percent because Sanders’ support was so comparatively small.
In the Democratic field, Clinton won Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
Democrats chose their candidate, while Republicans selected delegates to county conventions. In Texas, Clinton won at least 120 of the state’s 222 delegates, while Sanders will receive at least 42.
