John Oliver on Clinton's "popular vote lead"

Last edited Wed May 25, 2016, 11:51 AM - Edit history (1)

I saw this on Sunday and figured someone must have transcribed it. Sure enough:

------

Hillary leads Sanders by over 3 million. And Sanders supporters might argue that doesn’t include all caucus votes, but when The Washington Post estimated the rest, they found that she would still lead by 2.9 million votes. And even if you multiply all those estimated caucus votes by seven to account for lower turnout; even if you give Bernie a bonus of 10,000 extra votes in every state that’s voted so far; and even if you tack on an extra 100,000 votes just for shits and giggles, she’s still comfortably ahead.

Not because I don't admire the hell out of him, just because I stopped watching TV. But now that they're back for the summer, we'll need to revisit this family custom of gathering in the living room to eat dinner and laugh like hell at Republicans and other evolutionary throwbacks.
