Puerto Rico Democratic Primary: Results to Push Clinton Closer to Nomination [View all]

OK - the voting has yet to take place. But, according to this source, things look VERY good for Hillary. Bernie's campaign there has done him no favors.

Both Clinton and Bernie Sanders have campaigned in Puerto Rico, with the focus being on what the two candidates would do to solve the territory's debt crisis. Clinton has a clear advantage in the territory as there is a sizable Puerto Rican population in New York, where she served as a senator.

Sanders on the other hand is not winning himself any favors with Democrats in Puerto Rico. On Saturday, his campaign accused local party leaders of fraud, claiming that officials with the campaign were denied access to prisons to help inmates vote.


Not really a smart move ... but perhaps that's just me.
