Here's a bit from th NY Times. Some interesting pol results included abouthownthe partiew see themselves. The D's see themselves as more united, and the R's very divided.

Whereas the ads, with a far better reform candidate, slammed the doors on the democratic process.
How much different the election would look if we had Bernie vs Donald! Or Bernie vs Cruz.
