Live Blog Still!! New Mexico is Hillary Country!!!
Posted: June 7, 2016 Filed under: 2016 elections, Live Blog | Tags: Hillary Clinton 183 Comments
We’re still watching the returns from the primaries tonight. Hillary’s speech was amazing. She spoke of her mother, her daughter, and her granddaughter and it was so moving! My youngest daughter was here too which is why I was away for some time. We’ve been drinking white wine and looking forward.
Here are the latest results from ABC. South Dakota, Montana, and California are too early to call.
Hillary says “We’ve reached a milestone.” You may see her historic speech at the link as she talks about Seneca Falls forward!!
Hillary Clinton embraced her place in history Tuesday as the first woman to become the presidential nominee of a major political party while showing an eagerness to take on Donald Trump in the fall.
“Thanks to you, we’ve reached a milestone,” she said during a speech in Brooklyn celebrating her status as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. “Tonight’s victory is not about one person. It belongs to generations of women and men who struggled and sacrificed and made this moment possible.”Her long-awaited moment of celebration comes as six states hold contests that close out a tumultuous primary season. She will notch wins in the New Jersey and New Mexico Democratic primaries, according to CNN projections, adding a slew of delegates to her column. All eyes are now on delegate-rich California, where Clinton’s Democratic rival Bernie Sanders hopes for a symbolic victory that could make him a force during next month’s convention.Reaching out to Sanders supporters, Clinton praised the Vermont senator for his long public service and “extraordinary” campaign. She played down any notion of divisions and their vigorous primary campaign was “very good for the Democratic Party and for America.”
We’re all still hanging in here!!!
California here we come!!
(FYI from the NYT: Sanders plans large staff layoffs!!)

We’re up here with a new thread!!!
Thanks!
I had to go searching, your new link didn’t show above the old thread.
A new thread for each state is a great idea!!!! I hope to see a California thread tonight!!!
Thanks dak &BB
TY Dak………………it’s been over since Mar 15, but tonight, marched us on.
I really miss that I am not voting in California.
Hillary is up by 400,000, and San Jose, and LA haven’t reported yet. Bring it on home California.
Pretty song. Thanks.
I’m staying up until more CA results come in. Ca is looking good so far.
SD 91.4% Clinton 51.5% vs Sanders 48.5%
CA 3.1%, Clinton 62.2% vs Sanders 36.7%
Just doubled the counties reporting, 6.6% reporting, Clinton 62.6% Sanders 36.3%
Oh please hold that !!!!
FWIW, The Sanders campaign is having a large round of layoffs. Advance people, all those folks. so it’s gonna come to an end.
Sanders should get laid off, too!
He should be number 1!
MT 4.7%, Clinton 48.5% vs Sanders 46.7%
still looking good CA 7.1%, Clinton 62.9% vs Sanders 35.9%. She has 50,000 more votes than Trump.

Ezra says it’s time to admit that Hillary is a talented politician.
So hard to admit that a woman is a talented politician, eh, Ezra? Get used to it!
I’m blown away that everyone isn’t inyimayely aware that she’s a great politician.
t’s look like y’s through residual tears I guess.
🙂
And she is supposedly non-inspirational. I think that whether you find Hillary inspirational or not is a test of whether your heart is in the right place — or not.
Otherwise a good article, especially in discussion of building relationships and working together. That’s what made her such a great SoS. And why she’ll be a truly great President.
Thanks for that link dak. It was a great analysis of Hillary’s strength – work done the way a woman does it!
Looks like she may take California.
Goddesses, hear me tonight. Bring it home for Our Girl and all the people of America who need her help ….
So it is.
500 miles from home, bring it on home.
Still not called yet.
I got a call, yes I did, they were republicans, and they told me, we voted for Hillary, early ballot in California. Oh how I miss voting for Hillary in California. It just hits me knowing that they voted for Hillary, and wanted me to know.
Damn.
Yes, Hills can bring us together!
SD 97.2% Clinton 51.2% vs Sanders 48.8%
#ImWithHer is the #1 trending topic on Twitter!
I don’t know, now they are saying CA is only 4.6%, Clinton 62.7% vs Sanders 36.1%.
Sander just won Plumas Co… it looks like the prepper counties are going for him.
Quincy, we love you.
Ha.
Early on, John King was up at the map, showing Shasta Co. for Hillary, and Lassen Co. for Bernie, I haven’t looked at those results this morning.
MSNBC just called SD for Hillary!!
HILL A REE! HILL A REE! HILL A REE!
So did Wapo, but they are tied at 10 delegates each. 3 counties left to finish reporting.
Inside the bitter last days of Bernie’s revolution

Sanders would be scary as a President. Delusional, vengeful, and tunnel vision combined with a massively insecure ego.
FWIW, Sanders is about as qualified to be president as Trump.
I was just about to post that for you, BB! Really interesting article about a bitter old man.
He’s as much of an angry old man as we thought.
Yikes
South Dakota is Hillary country!
How about that! We knew it in 2008.
CA is 6.2%, Clinton 62.3% vs Sanders 36.6%.
31% of CA is in and Hillz is holding on to her lead. 62.5% to 36.4%.
Where are you reading that? Wapo just updated to 9%
CNN has32% in CA 62% HRC. And 37% bs
Here is what the State says. 13…% http://vote.sos.ca.gov/returns/maps/president/party/democratic/
CNN has early voting data, I think
You’re right Ralph
Outtake polls? How do they know something the state doesn’t?
They don’t. These are guesstimates, and not a statistically valid sampling, and no way to tell for sure if the interviewed voter gave the reporter accurate info.
MSNBC S at 32% in CA also. Most is the mail in voting.
Any one seen exit polls?
Looks like Hillary is winning the more populous counties and Sanders the more rural counties. In which case it looks good for us!
Anyone more familiar with CA counties want to look at that and comment?
Yes, those are rural, gun toting preppers who are surviving on pot since the lumber industry move to Georgia.
Similar to the rednecks in MT I think…
pot growers & smokers, disaffected white ppl.
CNN
It will be a long restless CA night I think.
Nina Turner is running her mouth all over MSNBC. Called Hillary’s offer to Bernie disingenuous!!!
WTF IT’S OVER. GET USED IT IT!!!
Turner, STFU. Hillary has won. Get used to it!
Wapo is saying 11.4% reporting and holding Clinton 62.2% Sanders 36.6%
Montana now going the other way😣
Yeah, MT 24.5% Sanders 48.2% Clinton 47%
Ca has a population of 38.8 million. 940 thousand is a fourth of Los Angles.
That’s MT population, the 940,000? Sanders will crow if he wins it, but really it’s a drop in the bucket compared with California.
Just like they brag about winning caucuses.
I was talking with my state Rep for my district a couple of days ago. She said the state Dem party is finally thinking of trashing the caucus system after this year! WA state has caucuses, which Sanders won. We also had a state-sponsored primary, which the Dems didn’t take account of. Hillary won the primary handily. I think most all of our state’s SDs are for Hillary, too.
I’m so glad to hear that NW Luna. We always planned to move back to WA, but been having second thoughts. I was born and raised there, my family is still there, I’ve lived on both sides of the state. Its a much more libertarian culture than the WA we left in 2001.
Caucuses are awful
Same thing happened in ’08 there. Obama won the caucus and Hillary won the primary. And we know how he won the caucus. 😉
No, that was the figure of counted votes for Clinton in CA at 10%
John King said LA County has 26% of the population of the entire state. If she crushes him there, she wins.
The county has a little over 10 million, the very gerrymandered city has some over 3 million.
Interesting. She’s well ahead now. Keeping my fingers crossed.
3.884 million as of 2014
Gosh, I hope I can stay awake. I really won’t be able to sleep until they call CA. It’s after midnight here in Delaware. Waaaaaay past my bedtime. But I want to be here for Hillary!
We West Coasters will be here …. We will yell Victory for you!
TY. I will try to wait until 50% of CA vote is in.
Bernie is not winning in any states that count.
and he didn’t even win Guam, did he? Bwhahaha!
So the State is saying Statewide
15.8% ( 3,536 of 22,359 ) precincts partially reporting as of June 7, 2016, 9:33 p.m.
Candidate Votes %
Hillary Clinton (DEM) 914,549 62.4%
Roque De La Fuente (DEM) 2,512 0.2%
Henry Hewes (DEM) 2,549 0.2%
Keith Judd (DEM) 2,902 0.2%
Bernie Sanders (DEM) 534,257 36.5%
Keep that proportion going…..
Los Angeles County …. 8.3% reporting:
Hillary 65%
Sanders 33.7%
The other really good news is that there isn’t a high proportion of votes for the American Independent Party. Sanders would have used that to say that the voting system was rigged.
Bet he’ll say that anyway, but no one’s listening to him anymore. He’s a has-been.
He would use anything to say it was rigged.
I am so happy, and I just went and looked in the mirror at myself. I saw a younger woman, with real red lisp stick, and saw her head turned, looking over her shoulders. Then I took a second look, and there I truly was, me, myself, and I……….my hair, long, and shades of colors, my eye lids, not so pronounced, and there was my wrinkles, and damn the neck, double shin and all. Here I was, looking in on the woman who so long ago, had red straight hair, and a smoothness, and what a smile, what a smile.
Tonight I smile with all you, and know that tomorrow, I will not be looking over my shoulders, because, I now only need to look straight ahead. I know who I am, and where I stand, and mean to go all the way supporting Hillary, regardless of how I grow.
Here’s looking at you kid! Feel like I’ve been holding my breath for to many years. Exhale and move forward!
Fannie, somehow I think you still have a smile to be proud of! Smiling with you!
Good for you Fannie, walk in pride!
We’re with you Fannie!
Kamala Harris has got 40% so far and Lorretta Sanchez, 16%. It will be a Demo, Demo runoff.
Easily………… it will be a run off between them in Nov. No republicans got enough votes. I had wondered if Hillary might pick Kamala for a job, and let Loretta Sanchez take over. We need to spread out with democrats.
17.3% reporting.
Hillary 62.2%
Sanders 36.7%
Trending a little down for Hillary, but still plenty of advantage to her.
Calif: 20.5% in statewide.
Hillary 62%
Sanders 36.8%
MT 43.6% Sanders 49.4% Clinton 46%
Wow the vote counting in CA is taking a long time. Maybe they’re going to release a bunch of updates all at once?
Hey, chill! Polls were open until 8 pm our time, Left Coast time. That’s not even 3 hrs ago. CA has vote-by-mail and in-person voting both. Not sure which they count first. roofingbird, do you know?
It used to be booth counting first, I don’t know this time.
G’nite all. Can’t keep my eyes open. I’ll be California dreaming. Please CA give her a BIG win!
G’nite, Jslat! Sweet dreams of Victory!
The state says they are at 26.2% and Clinton is 61.4% and Sanders is 37.4%. Sanders is giving a speech right now, it sounds like concession?
Urgh, do I want to listen to him? Only if he confesses his selfish crusade and begs forgiveness for his vile lies. Don’t know if he can recognize reality yet.
It’s the same mantra, but he hasn’t mentioned Clinton directly yet.
They broke away and he hasn’t conceded yet.
Bastard.
Media said Sanders vowed to fight to the convention.
I read that his crowd booed Hillary. Effing Republicans, all of them.
He’s asking for cartoonists to draw him as a toddler, on the floor in a total melt-down, slamming his feet and fists on the floor and screaming. Brat!
In light of this:
http://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/bernie-sanders-campaign-last-days-224041#ixzz4AxNIUJIh
Not unexpected that he would stand there closed mouth while the crowd booed his mention of Hillary, but it was prolonged, awkward and profoundly ungracious. He is such a quintessential Puritan scold, all he needs is the hat and the buckles.
Sanders continues to demonstrate why he would make a very bad President.
He should be Trump’s running mate.
MT 73% reporting, Sanders 50.4%, Clinton 45.2%. However, Trump has as many votes as Sanders and Clinton combined.
There’s Montana for you. Fortunately it doesn’t have a whole lot of electoral votes.
Yeah, the only Dems in Montana are at the colleges.
78.3% They haven’t called the Dem race… I don’t know why.
He wasn’t running against anybody.
LA county 9.something % in, but Hillary is at 64.8% Yuuuuge lead in the most populous county.
CA state-wide 32.5% in:
Hillary 60.4%
Sanders 38.5%
Still looking good! But I keep worrying, even though she’s got enough votes already.
Wapo says CA is 36.7% reporting, Clinton 60% Sanders 39%.
BS is taking it to the convention – I loathe him.
I loathe him more!
He’s the very embodiment of that old saying about someone so mean and short-sighted he’d cut off his own nose to spite his face.
We got part of Trump’s speech here and part of Sanders, I haven’t seen any of Clinton, just media saying she gave one.

Thank you, babama.
(wipes tears)
You’re so welcome, wish it wasn’t a Fox recording, but the sound quality was good 🙂
I’m so happy about CA, I was hoping the voters would send the message to wrap it up already and it looks like we did. Ever since Prop 8 passed, I’ve hedged my hopes re CA elections, but tonight I’m exhaling. There will still be sexism and double standards to navigate, **the struggle continues** (looking at your hubris, Bernie), but tonight feels fine!
Thank You. I sure wasn’t going to see it here.
What a contrast to Sanders’ speech. He is channeling a toddler on steroids. She is Presidential. That must really piss him off, lol!
Wapo finally called MT for Sanders. 10 delegates to her 9 out of 21 possible. Phillips Co has yet to report.
Whoop-de-do. Looks like he gets one more delegate than Hillary.
Meanwhile, Hillary maintains nearly a 2:1 advantage in LA county!
Sanders has moved ahead in Santa Cruz 21% reporting Sanders 51.2% vs Clinton 48.3%
Clinton is continuing to lose a little, according to Wapo 39% reporting, Clinton 59.6% Sanders 39.4%
Wapo says 43% reporting, Clinton 59% Sanders 40%
State of Calif site — 40.8% reporting
Hillary 59.5%, Sanders 39.4%
LA County — Hillary 63%, Sanders 35%, 17% reporting. Still looks good!
Damn, isn’t anyone calling CA for Hillary yet? Sigh. Probably not.
45.5% reporting, Clinton 58.7% Sanders 40.2%
AP has 45% in — Hillary leading CA state with 18.6% margin. She leads LA county with 25% margin.
Seems to be holding well for Madame President to be. Whew, I think I’m off to bed now.
Nah, this will probably go all night.
I’ll be heading off pretty soon myself.
Sweet dreams, roofingbird!
You too Luna! Last shot, CA 59.3% reporting Clinton 57.7% Sanders 41.3%
Couldn’t stay up to watch, but I couldn’t be happier!!!!
I saw the replay of Hills speech.
If the media could ever get over their bias against her and actually listen when she speaks, they would realize that everything she is saying is pitch perfect what the country needs.
They just can’t except it because she is “the nerdy smart girl whom everyone hopes doesn’t win the spelling bee for the fourth time in a row.” I am talking about the pundits here.
As ass backwards and stupid as Trump is, that is how smart and wise and tirelessly dedicated Hillary is!!!
Congratulations Madame President!
Breaking news @HillaryClinton just won California Democratic primary defeated @BernieSanders by landslide #Imwithher
Finally called!
I was stunned by the ugliness of Weakened @ Bernie’s speech.
He looks forward to working with Obama but not Hills?
He had NOTHING to say when his BernHoles booed Hills?
The man has no class. None. He is a dirtbag.
Sorry.
Don’t be sorry. He’s a fucking sexist piece of crap. That’s all he is. He can not stand that he lost to a woman. I wish him only bad things.
I stayed up to watch his “speech” and when it was over, I hoped that the earth would quake and swallow his spiteful ass. What a disgusting man – not one effing word about Hillary’s historic win – not one effing word to his supporters when they booed her – not even the remotest congratulation to her. He is truly a nasty pos.
I watched quite a bit of it, but I had to shut him off. He was awful. I’m glad his people threw him under the bus for the Politico article. He deserves it.
I’m glad I missed that. Whether he can move on or not matters little, after the resounding ass whupping he got last night, the rest of the world will move on without him.
“He looks forward to working with Obama but not Hills?”
It doesn’t matter because in just 7 months she’s going to be Commander in Chief, Madam President and he’s going to be a tired old man from VT trying to hold onto his Senate seat.
Indeed. And in the end, some of his people will join us, others will not.
The majority of the country is going to choose Hills over Donald “Mini-mitts” Trump regardless of what “Dead Ego Walking” says and does.
Mini-mitts is hysterical.
She won! She won! What GREAT news! Thank you California! Beautiful morning.
Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the world.
HILL A REE! HILL A REE! HILL A REE!
And I’m feeling good!

New dawn, new day!
California is Hillary country!
I wonder what happened to all those pollsters that had it a 2 point margin in California? It looks like the esteemed Field poll was significantly off while the polls that showed her up 12-15 were spot on! And the characterization that there is no enthusiasm for Hillary SHOULD have DIED last night, but if it doesn’t will kill it in the FALL.
They were and are full of shit. That is what happened.
TV News cherry picks polls to show Hills in the worst possible light.
I know that winning CA did not matter in terms of the nomination but I wanted it.
Maybe because the BernHoles wanted it so bad. 🙂
And she crushed him. I’m very happy about it.
California by 13%. Spin that MF’ers!!!
They can spin all the way back to Vermont
The pollsters do not know how to survey Latinos.
Apparently someone had it all wrong. MSNBC touts the “Field” poll as being the gold standard, but they were at Hillary +2. Some of the less notable Polls like Survey USA and YouGov were much closer.
The Field poll had a bad sample of voters. While CA was reporting that early mail voting was high, Field was only using like 9% in their voter mix. I’m surprised they weren’t off more.
Interesting article with quotes from several senators on what Bernie needs to do if he wants to maintain any influence in Congress.
NPR: Senate Colleagues Mount Pressure On Bernie Sanders To ‘Stand Down Now’
Nice article. Thanks!
Oh Happy Day!!!!
I hope he listens, but from what I’ve seen of him, I doubt it.
James Cargill on MSNBC last night worries that T-rump may not be nominee.
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2016/06/07/carville_trump_may_not_be_republican_nominee.html
And Chuck Todd picks up on it with- he has 5 weeks to get it together.
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2016/06/07/chuck_todd_trump_had_a_five_week_head_start_and_blew_it_now_he_has_five_weeks_to_save_nomination.html
I wasn’t surprised, by the news kept reporting how Hillary and Bernie were neck to neck in this very tight race in California. They got it wrong again, she won by 500,000 votes. That isn’t neck and neck.
They have also been saying that Trump and Hillary are neck to neck with negatives, and it’s all about her ethics…………..they just keep pounding and selling the bullshit.
Like what Trump said about the federal judge, wasn’t really racist. WTF, why are they being paid to sell lies.
The new anti T-rump ad is a brutal slam at him for mocking people with disabilities.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2016/06/07/this-brutal-new-ad-portrays-donald-trump-as-a-full-blown-sociopath/
Hillary’s Pledged Delegate lead has increased to 380. There’s no argument left for Bernard. He got his ass kicked in NJ, he got his ass kicked in CA. She even won a State everyone believed was his, SD. The Super Delegates will not shift to him. He’s wasting our time and other people’s money. IT’S TIME FOR HIM TO GO!
Yesss
Good piece with lots of good stories from WaPo.
WaPo: The Daily 202: Primary wins show Hillary Clinton needs the left less than pro-Sanders liberals think
It is good. I put it in my morning post. Come on up!
