Your gal did well on The View today, Greger.  And although I didn't listen to it I hear your boy didn't do so well on the NYDN Editorial Board interview..... But the View was bound to be all softballs for Hillary and the NYDN not so much for Bernie. Just another day in politics.
Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...

I sparked a firestorm of criticism on The Daily Kos this morning when I posted my piece about Trumps effort to use Melania to regain lost female supporters. and controversy? Says it's not so!

Woke up to a new graphic this morning. My, this has to be embarrassing for Mrs. Clinton. ![[Linked Image from uploads.disquscdn.com]](https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/872ad9ea683d8f4e80cb5abcaa0bdd84a5f1f6bb4e3e63b7cba46057526bb3f5.png) CNN.com

Embarrassed? No. She knew she was going to lose badly in Wisconsin. Pretty graphics aside there is still the math to deal with. Bernie Sanders beat Hillary Clinton by more than 100,000 votes in Wisconsin's Democratic primary, securing his seventh win in eight contests and providing more momentum for his presidential campaign ahead of the New York primary.
But in terms of delegates, Sanders's success was more modest.
According to The Associated Press, Clinton will take 36 delegates compared with 47 for Sanders.
Worse, because seven superdelegates from Wisconsin are expected to back Clinton, according to MSNBC, Sanders's big win among voters translates to him emerging with just four more delegates than the former New York senator.
That means that Sanders is doing little to chip away at Clinton's substantial overall delegate lead.
The winning Democrat needs 2,383 delegates to clinch the presidential nomination.
Clinton has 1,279 pledged delegates compared to 1,027 for the Vermont senator, according to the AP.
When superdelegates are included, Clinton's total grows to 1,748 and Sanders's to 1,058. But don't get me wrong on this, I love a good horse race and don't have money on either one of them. It will be a thrilling end to this race if the dark horse comes from behind to win. New York will be a lot more fun, both candidates have ties there and there are something like 247 delegates up for grabs, Madame Clinton is leading in the polls but Bernie has a little more momentum coming into it.

The Geezer Gaggle-Place where I live is competing with several other similar facilities and often pays for an ad posing as a news story in the Oregonian. But scroll down for the good stuff  I know everyone in this picture: ![[Linked Image from image.oregonlive.com]](http://image.oregonlive.com/home/olive-media/width380/img/homes-rentals/photo/ric-and-barbara-russell-photo-low-resjpg-c091d9c3c17308c3.jpg) http://blog.oregonlive.com/homes-rentals/2016/04/residents_enjoy_benefits_of_mo.htmlA line in the piece from our counselor, who is actually very good, prompted me to shoot off an email to her with this cartoon and message. (I cropped the writing off.) ![[Linked Image from beetlebailey.com]](http://beetlebailey.com/files/2014/03/ROSEMilitaryCutColor-copy.jpg) This is what I wrote: "At Willamette View, our residents are leaders and have positions of rank and influence.” Linda Tofflemire in WV sponsored piece from Oregonian. I’m content to remain a private.Can you name the characters? I cheated and looked them up: I’m tempted to post this cartoon on a residents only Facebook page started and most dominated by a former friend of mine - but it would be an immature (me?) shot across the bow for her because she would definitely “get it”. In a short time she has made sure her “rank” is at least a brigadier general like Amos T. Halftrack. Next to me (Beetle) are Sarge, Killer Diller, Zero, and Otto the general’s dog.
