Earth itself has chosen Sanders. He is The One.

Meanwhile,

Nearly 20,000 people have signed a petition to allow firearms inside the Republican National Convention being held in Cleveland in July.

Firearms are currently not permitted inside the Quicken Loans Arena, known as "the Q," where the gathering will take place.

The petition, posted Monday on Change.org, only sought 5,000 signatures but has since quadrupled. It was posted by an author identified only as "N.A." from Cleveland, but the user profile appears to have been deleted from the website.

It was not clear whether the person posting the petition was backing the proposal or attempting to put the party, which strongly backs gun rights, in an awkward position.

Troll confirmed (not you shadowlord, the person who posted the petition).

TL;DR summary: Republican senator says he thinks they have a responsibility to have a hearing for Merrick Garland, and is accused of "caving," being "wobbly," a "coward," and:

Moran's statements prompted a leader of one conservative group to warn that her organization was preparing an advertising campaign "to remind Senator Moran that he represents the people of Kansas and neither President Obama nor the Democratic Party." Others didn't rule out that the comments might prompt a conservative to challenge Moran in the state's GOP primary.

TL;DR for the TL;DR: Understanding is not required, only obedience.

No, that won't be until you get the "Why it's not wrong to BAN people like Trump from elections (and not illegal either)" Salon article.

If it makes you feel better, it's actually precog.  In addition to Bernie, I like their takes on Hillary and Jeb as well.

Something of a blowout tonight by the look of it.  The bird was very effective.  Possible VP pick?

Alaska: 399 total votes so far with 72.5% reporting. I can't help but imagine most of their caucus sites as one bored backwoodsman and a few puzzled beavers.

It must be very lonely being a democrat in Alaska.  But the Washington result is more surprising and significant.

Being a caucus, the count is usually state delegates rather than caucus-goers.

EDIT: There are about 71,000 registered Democrats in Alaska.

Lol.

Anyway, yeah, going strong in Alaska and Washington. Hawaii votes won't start coming in for maybe three more hours, dunno.

It's currently 3pm in Hawaii and their polls close at 6 so it'll be 3 more hours at the absolute earliest.

Please don't crush my beautiful daydreams.

So far tonight, Sanders has gained 36 delegates to Clinton's 11. So a 25-delegate chunk taken out of Clinton's lead, cutting the pledged delegates lead to less than 300 (1234-956). It's not much, but it's something. He won both Alaska and Washington by 70%+ which is impressive. Stands to reason he'll crush it in Oregon (5/17) and Wyoming (4/9) as well. If he can land a solid victory in Wisconsin (4/5), followed by Wyoming, you're going to see talk of momentum swings. Unfortunately, right after that is New York, where Clinton is up 30-40 points. Hopefully she'll fuck up and declare her love for New Jersey or something between now and then. Even a close loss in New York would be a victory for Sanders and fuel more talk about the pendulum swinging. A 50-point drubbing in NY might be the nail in the coffin.
