How are delegates distributed on this primary? Is it semi-proportional like Iowa? Hoping for Trump to pick up a sizable delegate lead on Cruz.
 
I have so many insecurities. I like Bernie's policies the most but I like Clinton and her tenure and experience too. But people don't trust her so maybe Bernie needs to be the nominee. But people think Bernies a crazy socialist so he is in trouble too. But then again, Trump and Cruz are insane and they're in the lead. If they become president I am literally planning to leave the US. But I don't want a less crazy Republican like Kasich to win because that makes it harder for the democrat to win. But less crazy candidates means overall less odds of a crazy crazy president.

Nail-biting times for me.

Trump acts crazy but he's basically a democrat if you ignore his immigration stuff. Cruz actually is crazy.

Clinton - who gives a shit about experience? People always tout that like it's a good thing, and IMO experience is exactly what you DON'T want. Need fresh blood, not establishment people
 
Among white people?

Okay.

I think no matter what the results are, it can speak to whether or not Bernie can reach out to older and women voters even if they are mostly white. I think the point is that if Clinton can keep up in a state like NH, she's going to sweep the rest of the primaries where Bernie isn't as favored. We'll see what happens at the end, I suppose.

Trump a democrat outside immigration? You're thinking of pre-2008 Trump. He all about tax cuts for the rich now. He's still ok with the gays but that's about it as far it gets to being even close to a democrat.

According to 538, Bernie is beating Hillary among blue-collar voters, which Hillary won with in 2008 in NH. So to some degree, you're getting data that possibly indicates class divisions for the candidates, at least among white folks.
 
It's a good night to be a Sanders supporter, but the next slate of states are all rough territory for him. He needed this win to hopefully mitigate the beating he'll get in Nevada, South Carolina and Super Tuesday.

Right... And sadly, he just doesn't have the minority support needed to get the nomination.
 
It would be so awkward to be one of the folks on the ground for one of the candidates who obviously have no shot at anything. I just don't get how you can fake excitement to spin it at all.

If he gets a beating Super Tuesday (which is likely) he's out. Hillary will have good momentum going in with SC and Nevada.
