Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have won the presidential primary vote in Washington state tonight.
The New York businessman and presumptive GOP presidential candidate was winning by large margins in early returns Tuesday.
Republicans in Washington will allocate all 44 delegates to their national convention based on the primary results.
However, the results in the Democratic primary don’t affect the allocation of delegates.
The former secretary of state was leading Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in early returns today.
Washington has both a presidential primary and a caucus system. But Democrats will ignore the results of today’s primary, having chosen to continue to use the party caucus system to allocate their national convention delegates. Sanders handily won the Democratic caucuses in March.

Something wrong…AP is reporting Sanders 72.7%, Clinton 27.1%, 100% of the vote is in.
I think you’re right. I can see it now. Sanders will get pissed off at the Demo convention and will decide to run as an independent which will split the Demo. voters and Trump will win even though Sanders swear that Trump will never be President.
