Right now, in CA it's 56% to 43% with a little more counting to go.

Exit polls show a 15% win by Hillary too. Very consistent. Overnight, her lead grew.

happy with her results in MT - in an open primary, no less!

OK, so she didn't win, but it was NO blowout like ND and only a single digit percentage difference. Thanks for you and your family's efforts! Bernie actually visited the state in person, while Bill and other surrogates stumped for Hillary. Because the GOP nomination was already in the bag, it is likely that at least some of Bernie's votes were crossover white male Rs.

If all MT Dems and Dem-leaning Independents unify, there will likely also be crossover female Rs for Hillary if Trump is still the nominee come November. I am actually allowing myself to be optimistic about her GE chances there.

Sanders was supposed to deliver a drubbing here and it does appear MT Dems and Indy's largely came together. There has been serious talk in MT about "The Trump Effect" quite possibly turning many of the state races - and maybe even the state - BLUE.

I'm just giddy with hope.

how much $$$$$$$$$ did he waste on the huge rallies?

Maybe Devine should have persuaded him to skydive into Cloverdale?.. and Sarandon should have gotten on tv more!

I want to Thank all the millions of Californians who Voted for Hillary!

I kept wishing there was a poll that reflected that change. I guess I got it. It's called "winning California BIG!"

Hillary smashed Bernie in this election and she is going to do much worse to Trump. I'm pretty sure next weeks general election polls will shut Bernie up for good!
