Jesus this crowd at Hillary's rally.

I'm impressed.

 

[Afrodium]

What can Rubio even say in this speech?

 

[aspiegamer]

Rubio time...

Edit: wtf, going on at the same time as Clinton? Damn he's desperate to bury tonight.

 

[Phreaker]

YAAAS Go Hillary!

Also, my Mom called me tonight, a long time Republican, and said she can't vote for Trump or Cruz and is probably going to vote for Hilary. I almost chocked.

 

[UraMallas]

Rubio is speaking at the same time as Hillary. Fox News cut to it.

 

[knicks]

Trump is still going to get a lot of delegates from Texas.

 

[Velcro Fly]

I waited 8 fucking years for this and I am going to relish every moment all the way until the convention in July

 

[boiled goose]

I would never do that when someone like Trump is on the other side (or anyone in the current GOP), but that says something about Hillary, that she can't inspire a vote against a Looney Toons character. She's gotta change her messaging if we don't want the general to get dangerous. Of course, she will because she's an experienced politician with a great team.

The stakes will be more clear once we have the contrast of a Dem vs Trump... dont worry too much.

On the other hand, it is also the responsibility of Hillary and her supporters to cater to these disenfranchised and cynical young people. I just hope Hillary doesn't start running to the center instead of to the left come the general... because that is what would not convince these people that she is a candidate for them.

 

[SteveO409]

YESS HILLARY!!!

 

[Operations]

Rubio time...

Quit the race?

 

[Sanjuro]

Sanders with a negligible lead in Suffolk County (seat of Boston)... I'm sure it'll flip to Hillary but it's not definitely her win yet.

Eh

 

[Steel]

Hillary really is a pretty robotic speaker. Very jarring after 8 years of 'Bams.

Edit: And "love and kindness" is a pretty treacly message. Perhaps I'm having trouble disentangling it from Cory Booker's reading of the execrable poetry of Maya Angelou at a previous Clinton rally.

Hillary is totally wooden. She's more of a bureaucrat than a public speaker. But that really isn't a big deal. I mean, a properly programmed Rubio can sound pretty charismatic, but it doesn't make what he's saying any better.

Many Rubio supporters are already pointing fingers at Ohio governor John Kasich for the Florida senator’s closer than expected loss to Donald Trump in the Virginia primary, writes Guardian politics reporter Ben Jacobs:

In their reasoning, if every Kasich voter had just supported Rubio, he would have won. But aside from that specious logic, Virginia’s primary is entirely proportional. Unlike most other Super Tuesday states holding Republican primaries, there are no thresholds for candidate to win delegates. This means all five candidates on the ballot, including Ben Carson, will net delegates from the Old Dominion.

However, if Rubio falls short of the 20% threshold in states like Alabama or Texas, then he can blame Kasich supporters. But, in Virginia, Rubio hasn’t lost a single delegate. He’s just lost some bragging rights.

.

 

[Special C]

Really. I reframed from using that term today in case it was a bannable offense. Low class better terminology?

I mean it's the closest thing to the white version of the N word, though not really nearly as offensive.

 

[Plinko]

Darn, Cruz won Texas.

Nobody should have ever expected otherwise.

 

[DR2K]

Is Bernie holding a rally?

In his home state. Not sure why he's there.

 

[Mrmartel]

Goddamn Hillary's voice is awful, sounds like my grandma who smokes a pack day, and is this the typical quality of speech from her? If so, Trump is by far a better oratorian.

 

[Kibbles]

Hilary has no emotion

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

goddamnit Texas. YOU HAD ONE JOB. The Cruz train is still running I guess

Exactly! I was really, really hoping Trump would take it.

Cruz, a long with Abbot? wow

 

[Cerium]

YEEEEA BOOOOOI

CRUZ MISSILE BABY

 

[foxtrot3d]

I'm not saying you will be wrong, but <5% of the vote has been counted.

Give it another hour and a half.

I'm just reporting what CBS and Fox are, I want Trump to embarrass Cruz in his home state.

 

[BowieZ]

Eh

(

 

[Ashodin]

Drumpf going to talk?

 

[Dunbar]

Rubio has won the same number of primaries as I have and I think this is his 5th victory speech of the campaign.

 

[superdeluxe]

Damn her crowd is diverse. I love that so much.

Might have been a good look for sanders if he had his event in a diverse state like Ohio

 

[hamauzu kaito]

Hillary is a mess. The interesting thing about the numbers is that in Arkansas Hillary is not winning as big as Bernie is winning in Vermont. Bernie is approaching 30% there, its crazy.

It's really not. It doesn't really have much in common with them politically anymore - NOVA has made the state far more liberal in statewide elections.

Combat one wikipedia article with another wikipedia article.

 

[TheFatOne]

lol The young turks. So salty.

 

[Leona Lewis]

The woman in the green shirt losing her shit is giving me life

And Hillary's speeches are always just the right length

 

[Brinbe]

CNN not having it, sticking to Hilldawg <3

 

[Downhome]

Rubio talking now, Trump to come out and everyone will switch over to him instead, lol.

 

[danm999]

Rubio has won the same number of primaries as I have and I think this is his 5th victory speech of the campaign.

How does it feel to have media momentum?

 

[TI82]

Can't see why anyone would choose Hillary over sanders tbh

 

[Tesseract]

Rubio talking

Hahahaha

 

[Maxim726X]

lol The young turks. So salty.

Link?

 

[LilZippa]

Are you surprised? In the last debate she went so far as to call the system rigged just like he has been doing forever. She needs his supporters to win so of course she's going to talk his talk. I just hope she actually believes it.

She doesn't, but what can you do? Vote Drumpf?

 

[aspiegamer]

lol@Rubio.

"In two weeks we're sending a message!"

 

[Snowman Prophet of Doom]

lmao at Rubio trying to spin not winning a single state as "sticking it to Donald Trump".

 

[catmincer]

Might have been a good look for sanders if he had his event in a diverse state like Ohio

Yeah. His was well very... homogeneous.

 

[Steel]

Goddamn Hillary's voice is awful, sounds like my grandma who smokes a pack day, and is this the typical quality of speech from her? If so, Trump is by far a better oratorian.

She's had much better speeches. I wouldn't call her an orator, though.

 

[Fragamemnon]

Cruz missle right on target. He's having a good night and probably about the best he could have hoped for.

 

[Sean C]

Clinton's numbers in Georgia and Alabama are almost on par with South Carolina. Her support among black Democrats is rock-solid.

 

[Riddler]

What can Rubio even say in this speech?

Florida & he comes in 2nd in most states.....now if he loses Florida stick a fork in 'em he be done.

 

[Afrodium]

Sure Rubio, you're really doing a number on Trump. That's why he's only lost one state so far tonight.

 

[gamz]

Rubio on now! He still thinks he's in it.

 

[Wilsongt]

Hillary is a mess. The interesting thing about the numbers is that in Arkansas Hillary is not winning as big as Bernie is winning in Vermont. Bernie is approaching 30% there, its crazy.

Someone is forgetting Bernie lost 74-16 last Saturday.

 

[Joeytj]

Hoping for a link...

It was live on CBSN, don't know if it's on YouTube or archived somewhere else.

Rubio is now talking. About a different reality, apparently, where "Trump's numbers are coming down"...

what.

 

[Jakeh111]

Hillary the Robot

 

[boiled goose]

Hillary is totally wooden. She's more of a bureaucrat than a public speaker. But that really isn't a big deal. I mean, a properly programmed Rubio can sound pretty charismatic, but it doesn't make what he's saying any better.

Yup... at least she is a pretty solid debater. Her speeches are just not very inspiring. That said, it is good seeing a strong female candidate with a shot at the white house.

This speech is just so bad. Man. It's just gibberish talking points.

 

[TheUntamedLegend]

He neglected to understand that any Democratic-led revolution should probably include one of its most important voting bases: black folk.

One factor that I have not heard much of regarding Bernie's lack of support with blacks is the religious aspect. Black voters tend to be more religious (at least in among Democratic voters). Sanders is pretty much nonreligious. I am sure this has to be a significant factor in his under-performance.
