Finally!
Another Big loss for Bernie Sanders last week…
And increases Biden lead over Sanders as he moves to clinch the nomination….
Former Vice President Joe Biden beat Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in last week’s Washington state primary, multiple news outlets reported Monday.
Biden took a state that Sanders had won in 2016, when it held caucuses. The state will award 89 pledged delegates.
With 99 percent of the vote reported in, Biden led Sanders 37.9 percent to 36.4 percent, NBC News reported.
Washington was the last of the six states that voted last Tuesday to report a winner. Biden had already been declared the victor in Michigan, Idaho, Mississippi and Missouri, while Sanders had taken North Dakota.
The former vice president is growing his delegate lead in the Democratic primary as the establishment wing of the party rallies behind his bid…
Note...
Both Biden and Sanders have 39 delegates awarded according to AP….

I’m planning on going to vote in an hour or so. I think I am going to have an unintentional coughing fit when I have to declare I want a Democrat ballot and it might scare some senior citizen election judges. I will explain it is a combination of allergies, nerves, and shame.
Then, I will undervote on everything besides States’ Attorney and politely decline their sticker. Then, perhaps it will be time for the full Silkwood Shower.
Why even vote?
You’ve declared on here many times that your vote won’t matter in the presidential race.
So why are you making such a big deal about a rinky dink States Attorney race?(this is easily your twentieth or so Post on the matter).
What?Think your vote really “matters?”
I mean as this seems to be such an upsetting episode in your life,why bother?
I’m sure the election won’t be decided by your vote.
Yeah, it might be a close race. My vote could literally matter (thought a bit pessimistic overall in the result.) Our County is not “rinky-dink” and the result could have profound impact on the safety of all sorts of people, not to mention the issue of public corruption. Turnout is going to lead to all sorts of unpredictability. A lot of people, including a lot of usual Republican primary voters, are going to vote just for that one race.
Well I seriously doubt that it will be decided by one vote(odds are probably several million to one that it will).
And I am concerned about the extreme trauma which you may experience as result of voting in a Democratic primary.
While I am there, I might as well vote for Circuit Court Clerk too.
Ok, so I went to vote, at the Church. Maybe one other voter insider. The Democrat judge asked me if I wanted a “Democratic or Republican” ballot so I said “Democrat” of course, not wanting to waste too many syllables and said it was the first time I was doing this. I scribbled my name with my own pen I brought it and they questioned the signature briefly. (So much for being a Cook County Democrat for a day) but determined I was in a hurry.
I asked if they were wiping down the machines after each use and they gave me a alcohol wipe in a package to vote. I think that is fitting because I might as well have been drunk to find myself voting in a D primary. I was able to use the alcohol wipe over my finger to press the screen.
With the protection of the alcohol inside the Church, I felt emboldened enough to type in Mitt Romney for President and then voted in about three other contests.
I thanked them for their dedication to democracy, politely refused the “I Voted” sticker and threw my pen in the garbage on the way out.
My official time as a Democrat was approximately 3 minutes.
Thank God that’s over with.
I really may have been the first ever Jew with GOP license plates to go inside a church and ask for a Democrat ballot.
Third time I have voted for Mitt in a Presidential primary!
Maybe this time will be the charm.
Meaningless.
Props CG for doing ur thing!
