46% of the Pledged Delegates not 42%. There are no votes county since caucus votes aren't counted.

@ Topic - The Dem party has to be purged of Centrists!

You realize liberals are a minority in this country, right? There are more conservatives, and more moderates/centrists than both. An all-liberal party is a losing party, and a party that only caters to liberals but still hopes to keep moderate/centrist voters is an insult - "Vote for us while we completely ignore your concerns (unless they align with ours) because we are superior!"

Even as a liberal, this is one thing I hate about some of my fellow liberals - they act like they are a majority, but they are not even close. Wake up and realize that most of the country doesn't think like you, and you have to reach out to them in substantive ways and not a "my way or the highway" approach. That's the Congressional GOP approach.

Yeah, but "liberal" is still considered a dirty word in this country.  At the end of the day, labels don't really matter.  I fully believe Bernie Sanders would have beaten Trump if he had been the nominee, because the American electorate is full of people who say they abhor terms like "socialist" but would vote for one anyway, either because they don't know he calls himself one or they don't care, because as a politician he represents what most people want and support.  He had qualities that Hillary did not, irrespective of how they both describe themselves or are perceived by the public.
