Dem Results for AK, WA

Democratic caucuses were held Saturday in Alaska, Washington, and Hawaii. Results are in from WA and AK.

Sanders won both handily, gaining more than 81% of the vote in Alaska and 72% of the vote in Washington. According to RealClearPolitics, on Saturday Sanders won 36 delegates, Clinton won 11.  Hawaii has yet to be heard from, at midnight on the West Coast.

Next day ... Sanders won Hawaii too, just as convincingly with about 70%. Bernie Sanders is demonstrating clearly that Clinton is no Democratic icon. Nevertheless, all pundits expect Clinton to win the nomination.

I have to wonder if the Sanders voters can get over their anti-Clinton protest and vote for her in November? Some yes, but most? It's unclear.
