On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton soundly won with 58% of the vote, to Bernie Sanders' 42%. She walks away with 135 of 239 delegates.
However, the Republican race was a blowout:
Donald Trump 61%Trump almost turned New York into a "winner take all" state with his dominating performance. He gets 89 delegates, Kasich gets 3, and Cruz gets the goose egg.
John Kasich 25%
Ted Cruz 15%
As Trump and Clinton move closer to their nominations, Libertarians everywhere just sit back and laugh...
Let's be semi-serious for a moment. These two people have no business anywhere near the White House. I think back on all the people who ran for president in my lifetime, and lost because they did something stupid or because they weren't "serious" candidates, and I would take any of them over the two lunkheads above.
Consider Trump for a moment. his campaign has been the equivalent of this scene from The Shining:
Continuing with the Jack Nicholson theme, Clinton reminds me of Nurse Ratched demanding we take our medicine:
Like most political solutions from progressives, Clinton won't talk about what's in her little pills that she is offering us. But I feel certain President Ratched will find a way for us to take our medicine, whether we like it or not.
As we hand our country over to a scary character from a Jack Nicholson film, just remember to not waste your vote on a third party candidate. Think of all the fun you'd miss by doing that?
