I also have to give props to the Hillary supporter because Dan is basically making fun of her and Hillary still being in the campaign and she is staying on message. That takes a lot of resolve. Maybe she can work for Obama now. I’m loving Ron Reagan tonight.

Also – Hillary’s email tonight to supporters:

Dear Friend,

Once again tonight, you and I stood together and showed America what we’re made of.

Every time we win another state, we prove something about ourselves and about our country. And did we ever prove something tonight in Kentucky.

We showed America that the voters know what the “experts” will never understand — that in our great democracy, elections are about more than candidates running, pundits commenting, or ads blaring.

They’re about every one of us having his or her say about the path we choose as a nation. The people of Kentucky have declared that this race isn’t over yet, and I’m listening to them — and to you.

Your unshakeable commitment to that principle and your willingness to keep forging ahead inspire me every day. Let’s keep supporting one another in these crucial days ahead.

All the best,

Hillary
Hillary Rodham Clinton

Hillary could have spoken out against it; Hillary SHOULD have spoken out against it.

The very fact that she didn’t merits our contempt.

He doesn't mess with the foolishness of racists or assume that working class people are racist as you do,"The white, working class (read, bigoted)voters".
