That map is quite interesting.

I would sum up Bernie with this pic.


Unfortunatelly politicians are like this, they say what people want to hear.

Well, socialists ideas are quite new in the USA.

And all candidates are fucking old. Don't know why people don't have the balls to vote for a 25/30 years old. He would be much better with lots of new ideas to deal with things.

Moloch,

You did such a good job predicting Michigan, what are your predictions for tonight's voting?

Michigan was easy because they have an open-primary (and I lived there for 15 years)... since 80% of independents favor Bernie over Hillary, that will swing the vote ~20% towards Bernie

I figure as usual, Bernie wins the northern/democratic states, and Hillary wins the southern/republican states (though I consider Missouri northern and Ohio southern)

Not sure which is the best strategy... I suppose you need to win a few southern swing states like Florida to win a general election... But, what good is it to campaign in republican states like Texas? Hillary would never win Texas in a general election

Higher IQ = Bernie supporter



Lol,

Not exactly Moloch. You're talking about IQ but the map is talking about education. Not the same thing you know? Wink

I just got approached today about who im voting for..

And honestly when these people were telling me how great it is, I`m just thinking of obama back then.

Seriously though, every time we get this whole grounded politician and then gets voted in office, he screws up playing as a lobbyist.

Huge setback for Bernie. He is losing Ohio very badly. According to early results, Hitlery is leading by around 38 points. Exit polls suggest that he might narrowly win both Illinois and Missouri, but that is not enough. As expected, Hitlery is winning Florida and North Carolina.

The Republican race is even murkier. Trump lost Ohio, and he might lose Missouri as well. This can lead to a complete stalemate.

Sanders neck and neck with Hitlery in the states of Missouri, Ohio, and Illinois according to the latest opinion polls.

Missouri: Sanders - 47% vs Hitlery - 46% (PPP)
Illinois: Sanders - 48% vs Hitlery - 46% (CBS News/YouGov) and Hitlery - 48% vs Sanders - 45% (PPP)
Ohio: Hitlery - 51% vs Sanders - 46% (Quinnipiac)

Unpredictable!!!!

Yeah but we saw the efficiency of opinion polls...

It's hard to tell with the polls, but Sanders has shown growing momentum in supporters.  I think the polls tend to underestimate Sander's support for some reason.

How do the super delegates play into this?  Can they swing the election to Clinton even if Bernie wins the nomination?

Yes they can, because they're not bound by caucus or primary results.

It's never been done before, and would certainly destroy the party if they did such

Superdelegates most of the time follow the majority vote then?

What are they used for then?

History lesson?

Before 1968, there was no primary vote... party leaders on both sides selected their candidate...

In 1982, democratic party leaders decided they wanted to pick the nominee again, so they invented superdelegates to override the popular vote

In 2008, most of the superdelegates pledged for Hillary Clinton early in the primary process (like they did this year)... after Barrack Obama gained a majority of the popular vote, the superdelegates changed their votes to support Obama instead of Hillary

Well sorry but I never studied the history of foreign primaries Oo

Anyway. Thanks for the info.

Sarah Silverman can feel the bern!

If she can pull some of the female vote away from Hillary, Bernie will win in a landslide (80% of Hillary voters are female)

Thanks for the info.  I was not aware of the history of the superdelegates.  It sounds like they have all the power if they choose to use it.
