Hillary winning the Washington Primary with 54% of the votes is not an indication she would have won in March if it had been a primary. It's the end of May and she virtually already clinched the nomination, the hype has already died for Senator Sanders and there's no way she wouldn't be the nominee at this point. It's like saying "oh Cruz lost Washington against Trump" when Cruz has already dropped out of the race (to a much lesser extent though, since Bernie has decided he'd still stay in the race despite his admittedly low chances).
Washington is a state that was tailor-made for Bernie in terms of politics, I'm very confident he would have still won it in March had it been an open primary. Also, people who are there to vote for down-ticket Democrats are more likely to be solid registered Democrats (who lean Hillary), rather than a good mix of independents (who lean Bernie) and Democrats.
I don't agree with the caucus system and I hope it can be altered or removed in 2020. But let's not ignore the facts here.

I actually agree with you, but he still wouldn't have won by 45+ points so the delegate math would've been much different. His argument that he has won so many delegates would have drastically changed.
And the difference in the amount of people who voted in the caucus and in the primary is the most telling even if it favored one candidate over the over. Caucuses prove that it pushed thousands out the political process, the very thing Sanders and his supporters are fighting for. So yes it is time to get rid of caucuses once and for all.

Hillary takes pictures with dozens, if not hundreds, of people a day 
Seriously the internet =/= real world. Our country is and will be the leading superpower in the world for years to come. Do you realize that other countries elect horrible candidates as well?
RIP any chance of Trump making gains in New Mexico.
Flip Louisiana as a bonus.
Clinton-Warren already sounding iconic 
sounds like it's not happening!
