Sanders outspent ALL candidates in Arizona.

Not just his democratic opponent,but republicans too. In the meantime Hillary spent nothing in Idaho and Utah because her campaign knows which elections it can,and needs to,win.

The Sanders campaign knew that Arizona was the crucial vote last night,and they lost it.

These people are the biggest babies ever. Maybe they should learn not call shananigins every time they lost & ppl might be more perceptive. Now they just look like fools.

Given that one of Bernie Sanders’ largest bases of voter support comes from independents, it isn’t hard to see why the Vermont senator lost Arizona handily — his core supporters’ ballots weren’t counted.

That's too bad. Especially since recent polls showed she could possibly win Utah in a GE between her and trump. Seems it would have been a good investment to let those democrats know that, I don't know, she gives a damn about them.

Trump will lie about Sanders if he is the nominee and he will lie about Clinton if she is the nominee. Obviously I don't like that either.
