(Mar 20, 2016) — VANCOUVER, Washington—If it’s too late for Bernie Sanders to catch his rival Hillary Clinton and win enough delegates to become the Democratic Party’s nominee for president, someone forgot to tell Bryan Anaya.

Anaya, a 27-year-old construction worker from Vancouver, awoke at 5:30 a.m. Sunday because he’d heard on a radio talk show that Sanders had planned a rally in his city, in advance of Washington’s democratic caucus on Saturday. He and his girlfriend, 28-year-old Nichole Vega, dressed her two children, 6-year-old Julissa and 2-year-old Julian, and headed to Hudson’s Bay High School to wait in line in a blustery Pacific Northwest downpour, to hear Sanders speak. They waited for hours. “The kids are soaked,” Vega said.

(Mar. 20, 2016 12:45 EST) — Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders on Sunday said Democratic superdelegates in states he’s won should not to break with their home voters and back rival Hillary Clinton at the party’s convention.
At the party’s convention in July, those party notables designated as “superdelegates” can vote for whomever they want regardless of who won their home state’s primary or caucus. Sanders is far behind Clinton in the total delegate count and would need support from as many of these individuals as possible to win the nomination.

(Mar. 20, 2016 11:55 EST) — Bernie Sanders on Sunday admitted he had been “creamed” in many southern states by his rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, Hillary Clinton, but said Democrats were “not going to win those states in the general election”.

Sanders, speaking on CBS, was asked about the delegate math that gives Clinton a nigh-insurmountable lead in delegates and superdelegates combined.

Sanders said his campaign had a good path forward even though “the deep south” was “not a strong area for us”, and pointed out that in Illinois and Missouri the campaigns nearly split the delegates available despite Clinton winning the states.

U.S. District Judge Andre Birotte Jr. in Los Angeles issued a temporary restraining order Friday after the U.S. government sued to prevent the deal. The Justice Department said this week that Tribune would dominate newspaper sales in two counties, allowing it to increase subscription costs and raise advertising rates.
