Bernie Sanders had a pretty good weekend, crushing Hillary Clinton in all three states. Minority voters also felt the bern. John Iadarola (ThinkTank) and Jimmy Dore, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

“Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders won his three contests in ultra-diverse states — Alaska, Hawaii, and Washington — with 81.6%, 69.8%, and 72.7% shares of the vote, respectively.

In all three states, Sanders exceeded expectations dramatically. Polling website FiveThirtyEight.com had predicted 8-point wins for Sanders in Hawaii and Alaska, and a more generous 17-point win in Washington.

Instead, Sanders won Alaska by 61.5 points, Hawaii by 39.8, and Washington — the largest of the three Western Saturday states — by a jaw-dropping 45.6 points.

(As a side note, Sanders also just won the Democrats Abroad primary — which awards as many delegates as do Alaska, Vermont, or Wyoming — 69% to 30%.”*
