Get ready for some more bragging from the Hillary Clinton camp, as she has at last been declared the winner of Tuesday’s election in Missouri by the AP. The Bernie Sanders campaign has reportedly conceded defeat, albeit by a margin of less than a half-percent.

@AP . Lucky for her.

Not quite as lucky as the series of six winning coin-flips that helped her claim a win in Iowa, which was also neck-and-neck, not to mention a tie-breaking playing card draw in Nevada. Those watching late into the night Tuesday saw Sanders trading places with Clinton, and it looked like he might be able to prevent her from sweeping the night by taking Missouri.
@AP Gagggggggg.. did Mr. Trump win on the Republican side?

Both Donald Trump and Clinton announced their wins on social media yesterday, with all of the votes counted with the exception of some absentee and provisional ballots.

There’s been talk about a recount, which Missouri allows if a race falls within a margin of one-half of 1 percentage point, but neither the Ted Cruz or Sanders campaigns seem to see any value in contesting the results.
.@AP I’m no Bernie-bro but you really should consider mentioning that “winning Missouri” means she gets 36 delegates and he gets 35.

@AP Case closed. Here comes Madam President. Sanders may keep on staying in the race; helping to campaign and energizing the Dem base.
