Hillary Wins the Virgin Islands, Edges Within 60 Delegates of Nomination

She came into it with 2316 delegates out of the 2383 needed. She won the VI by a landslide margin, such a strong margin that she may win all 7 delegates which would bush her within 60 of the nomination.

Even if not she will be close to that-maybe 61from it to get technical. Bernie may not not have enough votes to even get viability.

Meanwhile, she's expected to also do very well in Puerto Rico tomorrow which has 60 delegates in play. She will likely-being conservative-get at least 35 out of the 50 delegates which would leave her just about 25 delegates short.

"Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton have both offered plans to solve Puerto Rico's debt crisis."

"They've invested a roughly equal number of time campaigning there over the past three weeks. But unlike other recent contests where Sanders closed to within striking distance in the final days, leaving the eventual outcome up in the air, few expect the territory to do anything other than deliver a Clinton victory."

"There's just too much history with the Clintons, and too many hurdles for Sanders to overcome in a place where the former secretary of state won by a landslide over Barack Obama in 2008."

"Public polling in the Puerto Rico primary has been essentially nonexistent, so there’s no reliable way to gauge who’s ahead. But as a former senator from the state with the largest population of Puerto Rican-Americans, she has a much greater degree of familiarity with the territory and its residents than Sanders."

"She has a very good grasp of policy issues in Puerto Rico and has for a very long time, particularly when she was a senator from New York," said Roberto Prats, the chairman of the Puerto Rico Democratic Party and a Clinton supporter. "We have a sizable population of Puerto Ricans in New York and New York state and she was very active in the community as well."

It won't be long now, until we Democrats get to serenade Bernie Sanders with a great old hit: Goodbye Bernie.

I'm paraphrasing, the original song was Goodbye Allie, but it fits Bernie now.

P.S. I guess that song was actually 'Goodnight Ladies' but New Yorkers made it 'Goodbye Allie' for Allie Sherman's  later losing years with the NY Giants.

Of course, Bernie is allegedly a New Yorker but I'm sure that cultural allusion would go right over his head.

UPDATE: Here's a picture worth a thousand words.
