i guess, but a lot of people can admit the candidate they like has at least one or two flaws or mistakes, while a lot of bernie's supporters give off the vibe that bernie has never done anything wrong ever.

That's pretty impressive. Virginia is a really diverse state in many ways (age, race, income, ideology). For her to win a state like that with such a large margin suggests she's building a fairly broad coalition.

some virginia facts to back this up!
- northern virginia is the highest income region in the country, with a large percentage of the top 20 highest-income counties in the US there
- while the entire state is generally more affluent than the national average, the parts south of the DC metro area are less rich
- there's a rapidly growing hispanic population in northern virginia, much more than the rest of the state
- the job market in northern virginia is partially dominated by government jobs due to its proximity to DC
- farming is still a viable industry in quite a bit of the state, but it's growing less and less important as the state becomes more urban
- the southern parts of virginia are actually still pretty conservative, but the northern part and to some extent the other urban areas are a liberal stronghold and nearby areas are generally trending towards being more liberal over time
- personal experience: when i moved to college in central virginia i had a huge culture shock in the difference between it and northern virginia. some people fly confederate flags here and people actually like country music and everyone holds doors for you. like that was so unfamiliar to me.

it's over
If he doesn't win these two, it's over. Technically it's over either way but these two states and hopefully CO and MN can keep him going. 
Mess.
