Here are my first impressions on this WA Primary which was irrelevant for the Democrats because we have already caucused  and was a cakewalk for the presumed Republican nominee, Donald Trump because his competitors have dropped out of the campaign:

1. Yes, King County holds the largest part of the electorate in WA, 27% tonight.
2. Yes, if this were a three way race, Donald Trump did just beat both Bernie and Hillary.
3. No, all those Kasich, Cruz, Carson votes are not switching to Democrats in the Fall. 
4. No, the Berners and Clintonistas aren't going to play well together for the next five months.
5. Yes, Donald Trump could win WA in the fall and probably the rest of the nation as well.

You can call conclusion number 5 crazy if you want. But crazy would be denying that if this were a three way race, Trump just thrashed both Bernie and Hillary in Yakima, Spokane, Pierce, Clark and Benton. Those are  all sizable counties in WA state. He also showed strong in almost every other county but King.

Clinton wallops Bernie in King County.  Yes, it's true the WA state caucuses were great for Bernie. In the irrelevant primary, she beat him. So what? A Democratic Socialist is still tight on her heels in the final stretch of the campaign. That tells you something....

Despite the King County votes, Sanders would have needed lots of Clinton supporters tonight to beat Trump. Same reality for Hillary shown below.  Because I don't care what type of mushrooms you feed me, the ~128K that voted for Carson,  Kasich, and Cruz aren't voting for any Democrat this fall and that's a fact.

No matter what the Democrats say about one another is next six months, no matter how reticent the DNC is to woo Berners and how paranoid Berners are about the DNC, they all need one another. Because if Trump can show strong here in WA, then in states like Kentucky, Missouri, Arizona, Alabama, Ohio... a split Democratic party will allow the big man to kick some royal blue a**.
