An Awkward Reality in the Democratic Primary
Betcha' Bernie won't be moaning about THIS ! 
Washington voters delivered a bit of bad news for Bernie Sanders’s political revolution on Tuesday Hillary Clinton won the state’s Democratic primary, symbolically reversing the outcome of the state’s Democratic caucus in March where Sanders prevailed as the victor. The primary result won’t count for much since delegates have already been awarded based on the caucus. (Sanders won 74 delegates, while Clinton won only 27.) But Clinton’s victory nevertheless puts Sanders in an awkward position.

Darn "establishment".
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: An Awkward Reality in the Democratic Primary
Wonder WHY Bernie has not declared his "victory" there to be against the peoples will ??
I am thinking we are NOT going to hear a "peep" out of him on this.

Re: An Awkward Reality in the Democratic Primary
Closed primaries, open primaries, registering 6 months in advance, registering the day of the election, caucuses, delegates, super delegates, voter id's, polling places opening and closing at different times, reducing the number of polling places in some areas, etc.
When are we going to get a national standardization of this crap and run the whole thing over a week or two time period and be done with it. Here's a crazy idea for a democracy supposedly of, by, and for the people: The person with the most votes wins!
