Hillary Clinton is Heading for a Blow-Out Victory in Puerto Rico Primary
As it stands right now, Clinton needs about 90 delegates to become the presumptive nominee. She will easily pick that up before votes are counted for the California primary on June 7. Puerto Rico has 60 delegates. Clinton is expected to win New Jersey by a wide margin as well.
According to a poll conducted by Puerto Rico-based Pasquines, Clinton leads Sanders by 30 points, 63% to 33% with 4% undecided, Benchmark Politics reports. The poll also found Clinton with a net favorability of 65% compared to 34% for Bernie Sanders.
The results from Pasquines shouldnt come as a shock to anyone. Clinton beat Sanders 70% to 30% in the Puerto Rican stronghold of the South Bronx.
The US Virgin Islands, with seven delegates, is also voting on June 5. Bernie Sanders may characterize Hillary Clinton as the lesser of two evils with Donald Trump, shes the strongest candidate left on the stage to assume the presidency.

(2,542 posts)...as if all the contests don't matter, only the ones that the media can string into some kind of "streak" to give an obvious losing candidate the appearance of momentum. Yeah, they're still trying to make "momentum" a thing.
So happy that I am on the side of math and reality (and victory ) with all the other rational folks here in HRC Group.

(2,897 posts)write-up on the contest. A party that strongly favors Hillary is also voting in their primaries that day so that will be a huge boost for her. I'm hoping that the media gives the contest the coverage that it deserves. At 60 delegates, it significantly changes the math going forward for each candidate and it's one of the last big contests.
