Wow. What a self-righteous douche. What a smack in the face to the 52% of Washingtonians - a group disproportionately composed of women and minorities - who voted for Clinton in the primary.

This situation would be a Clinton win, which instead would be thrown to the House:

Clinton 269
Trump 268
#BernieOrBust 1

Didn't WA delegates go to Sanders because he won the caucus handily? The primaries were just a formalities IIRC and no delegates were awarded based on that

Yes, and our delegates voted for Sanders at the convention. This is the general, where I'm guessing Sanders isn't going to get a full 1/12 of the vote. I'd actually be more okay with it if he was voting for Trump, since that's at least slightly more fair to how we are voting.
