Bullish on Bernie: The Bernie Sanders 2016 Thread

[Joey McGee]

What the ****....

Yes, Clinton may die in a crash, therefore Bernie has a shot!

Was there a real point to that?

CNN just called Arizona for Hillary.

Bernie is down big in Arizona thus far. Though that is only early voting in Maricopa County (where most Arizonans live).

I've got a little more than that showing on the map I'm watching, but Coconino is the only one going for Sanders so far.

Bernie is speaking right now...sounds like a victory speech.

Just a demonstration that predicting the future and claiming anything resembling certainty is kind of stupid.

That's early, hardly any votes are in. Must be votes pus exit polls. Looks like 60:40 Clinton.

Utah, Idaho maybe? None of those votes are in but ID is surely Sanders.

Phoenix is likely the only place that really matters. Arizona is sparse elsewhere.

At a guess, I'd say they both are. The only question is by how much.

I think that there is a law in Arizona that prevents exit polls...it is based on votes, a large percentage of which were early votes.

Sanders will perform well in the whitest states, but Clinton will widen her delegate lead once again tonight.

Hard to say. If he manages to get 30/75 (or more) delegates in Arizona, the other two might be able to make up the 15/56 (or less) he'd be behind there. They're both caucuses. It depends on the margins all around. It'll be rough if it isn't significantly better than 30 in Arizona. At 25 it'd be impossible, of course... but she's not beating him that badly.

 

[d4m10n]

Hope springs.

 

[Manopolus]

Bernie has won decisively pretty much everywhere that Cruz has won, and Cruz won Idaho by a pretty large margin. It's has the fewest delegates tonight though. Obviously the two aren't particularly similar in most ways, so I'll admit it's an odd correlation. Maybe the correlation has to do with how many people don't vote for Trump, actually.

It did sound just like a victory speech.

But to be fair, Berned-out is usually in bed this time of night, so you have to forgive his confusion.

His staff will break it to him in the morning: "You lost!".

How is not voting for one of the two major party candidates "throwing your vote away?"

To me, it seems likely that your vote will have a greater impact going to a 3rd party candidate.

Votes pointless with delegates anyway

 

[cullennz]

Don't get how when they pull out that can gift their wins to someone else

 

[Manopolus]

Misunderstood context. Nevermind.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

I am so disgusted with the news media continuing to ask when is Sanders getting out of the race when absolutely no one is saying that except the news media. No news, just make some crap up.

A person only has to throw them an idea once and it's all over the AP. They feed off each other. If it potentially causes enough debate/controversy, they'll bite every time. Every one of 'em, too.
