Hillary Clinton wins the Washington state primary | |

Also on the ballot in Washington state are John Kasich and Ted Cruz, both of whom dropped out of the primary race after the state ballots had already been printed. As of 8:20pm PST, with 69 percent of precincts reporting, both of the former candidates had won roughly ten percent of the vote each. | |
Ben Carson, who dropped out some while ago, was also on the ballot in Washington, reportedly because his campaign failed to file the requisite paperwork with the state party informing them that he had dropped out. He is currently winning just under 4 percent of the vote. | |

The flare-up at Trump’s rally just as he wins the Washington primary may be a sign of things to come. Andrew Gumbel reported Tuesday that after Albuquerque Trump heads to the “riot-happy” city of Anaheim, California - so tonight may just be a harbinger. | |
Andrew reports: | |
Anaheim may be the home of Disneyland and a reliable source of affluent, conservative white voters in the suburban tracts an hour south of Los Angeles, but it is also bubbling over with tensions, as a restive and growing Latino minority clamors for greater political representation, a less repressive police force and a more tolerant environment for immigrants and their families. | |
In February, protesters furious at Trump’s hesitation to disavow the support of the white supremacist movement clashed with members of the Ku Klux Klan in an Anaheim park, resulting in three stabbings and two other vicious assaults. Two months later, on the eve of Trump’s first visit to southern California as a presidential candidate, the Anaheim city council came to blows over a proposed resolution to denounce Trump’s rhetoric against immigrants, Muslims and women. | |
