March 5: HRC: 244,688 (68.5%) Bernie: 112,955 (31.5) in total popular vote

Let's face it total turnout in the Nebraska and Kansas caucuses was only around 65,000 votes total, while in LA turnout was more than 300,000 and HRC won 71.1% of the vote. If you combine the votes of all three states HRC won the overall popular vote by nearly 69%.

Brownback's dismal record alone should have turned Kansas blue, but a broken glass right-wing electorate gave him the nod for a second term. Apparently, the devil himself believed that Brownback's work was not yet complete.
