Bernie's win is a big deal.

H has shown he can win both the primary and the GE. His message will help not only our country
but influence others as well. This win is a watershed, against the odds, a path to the future.

And Hill is no longer inevitable.

I'm happy for America. Feels like a door just opened.

Though I'm not as sure about that as I was yesterday!

And no matter what, this will have a huge effect on her campaign, on this election, and on the future choices of the Democratic Party. The party has just moved to the left.

If he'd gone all the way from a 20% deficit to a 19.9% deficit, the narrative would still be "Sanders lost."

So winning by not just 0.2% but 2% is super awesome!

I'll bet he, Jane, and the campaign full-timers are feeling it big time.

Good lord he's worked for this. And we know he'll keep working -- for us!
