Bernie Sanders routs Hillary Clinton in Utah and Idaho caucuses

" Democratic challenger Bernie Sanders won caucuses in Utah and Idaho ".

    The actual rout of Sanders over Hillary in these - and other states - is ignored. How will the U.S. political establishment ever be able to marginalize the many supporters of Bernie Sanders and Republican Donald Trump ? 

    Sanders took Utah and Idaho by about 70 percent . Any Hillary supporter should be nervous to say the least. 

    I expect " socialist " Bernie Sanders to do just as well here in the Rhode Island Democratic Primary. Providence, Rhode Island is becoming more like Detroit - lead -in-water and all.

[ Utah
 
Democratic result: Bernie Sanders crushed Hillary Clinton, winning about 80 percent of the vote compared to her 20 percent or so. Again, a Sanders win was expected, but the extent of the landslide he got is surprising.

Idaho caucuses

Who voted: Just Democrats
Democratic delegates at stake: 33 delegates, awarded proportionally
Democratic result: Bernie Sanders's enormous win in Idaho nearly matched his win in Utah — he got 78 percent of the vote to Clinton's mere 21 percent. When all of Tuesday's results are combined, Sanders will likely pick up somewhat more delegates than Clinton. But he'll still trail her in pledged delegates overall by 300 or so.]
