Clinton beat out rival Bernie Sanders in Tuesday’s election, further extending her lead in the delegates needed to win the Democratic nomination.
Most Democratic primary voters see Clinton as the best candidate to face Donald Trump if he is the Republican nominee in November, and 7 in 10 see her as the most likely eventual nominee.
Before Tuesday, Clinton led Sanders 1,292 to 1,042 in the delegate count. When including superdelegates, the AP count had Clinton at 1,761 and Sanders at 1,073.
Most of New York’s Democratic delegates are awarded on a proportional basis by the outcome in each congressional district. New York has 247 pledged delegates at stake.
This is not her home state .
Besides the fact that she’s the prettiest candidate, it’s really hard to see the appeal here. She accomplished -nothing- as NY senator, especially in contrast to Schumer her colleague, one of the most accomplished advocates of modern times. She accomplished nothing as Secretary of state except for ignoring threats against the embassy in Benghazi resulting in the deaths of American staff. She exhibited extremely poor, if not criminal judgment in the email scandal, and get her career as first lady was rocked with scandal. I mean for gosh sakes the lady walked out with Whitehouse China! Her ONLY qualification for president is her tenure as the president’s wife and if you think that qualifies her as president, then you must think my wife would make a great computer programmer, Lord have mercy
