| Hillary Clinton’s victory in tonight’s Washington primary is interesting, because while due to a bizarre quirk of the state party it is entirely meaningless, she is currently winning by considerably more votes than the entire turnout of the March Washington caucuses - which Bernie Sanders won, netting himself 74 delegates. | |
| So far Clinton is winning the meaningless WA primary with 353,244 votes. Total turnout in WA caucus: Around 230,000. | |

| 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. | 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. | 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.
