This is the opposite of how I expect Sanders4Prez to take tonight

[Tesseract]

Once the debates start, and the talking points are made I think the Sanders supporters will fall in line.

Absolutely not. We should stay out of it, or vote 3rd party.

 

[Pineapple]

it's about stopping Trump and trying to convince the GOP that he can be their man in a brokered convention

Is he really so conceited that he thinks he'll be handed the nomination at an open convention despite having fewer delegates than Cruz and Trump?

 

[Big Baybee]

My hope for Clinton is that Hillary chooses to crush republicans instead of working with them like Obama.

This is one thing that could make me excited about her as president.

I absolutely think this is what she is going to do. She won't play around.

 

[Christopher]

Damn for all the Bernie hype online this dude is getting killed by Hilary

 

[Shao Kahn on the Lawn]

Who on earth are you even talking to?

The dozen or so people that would actually do that. People who haven't experienced primaries panic when they see the emotional responses of supporters for floundering politicians in the same party. Plenty of Hillary supporters said the same thing about Obama back in 2008 but they came around: Sanders' die-hards will as well because Sanders himself would far rather see Clinton take the win than any Republican but especially Trump.

Damn for all the Bernie hype online this dude is getting killed by Hilary

The fact that a self-proclaimed socialist would do this well is telling of a shift in the electorate. We may be having a very different conversation if Sanders had increased his profile among minorities who were largely unaware of him before the past six months.

 

[legacyzero]

Damn, Hilary winning everything?

 

[KingBroly]

He thinks he's going to be the establishment choice in a brokered convention.

No, really.

Establishment is going to pick Jeb probably.

 

[rokkerkory]

I give Bernie props for running an issue orientated and strong race. Our country just isn't ready for this type of change.

 

[Smash88]

The fact that so many people here are just calling it with less than 1% accounted for in 3 states and less than 5% in another is pathetic.

 

[Fat4all]

it's about stopping Trump and trying to convince the GOP that he can be their man in a brokered convention

Exactly.

It's not about stopping him from getting the most votes, it's about stopping him from getting a certain percentage of votes now.

Spoiler

They won't be able to stop Trump, tho...

 

[LiK]

CNN projects Kasich to win Ohio. it's a miracle!

 

[Ihyll]

On the bright side, Clinton could still potentially go to jail

Huh?

 

[teh_pwn]

Why is Kasich even celebrating? Why are his fans cheering?

He is mathematically eliminated.

He could win 100% of the votes from here on out and still not win the nomination.

He dodged the political career ending bullet that hit Rubio. You don't come back into the spotlight after losing your home state that much.

 

[radrelic]

Hillary vs Cruz

Bernie and Trump as third parties. GE will be fuckery

 

[CrazedProfessional]

In a contested convention are the choices the ones still standing or can the GOP delegates also choose one of the fallen?

 

[hydragonwarrior]

And then the oil runs out.

My hope is that we finally move towards an economy like Norway's: http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2013/jun/14/norway-waste-energy

I don't like our dependence on oil but it ain't going away anytime soon, so hopefully we research the hell out of independent sources of energy. Harper was ridiculously short sighted in tying our dollar to oil.

 

[Officerrob]

I honestly didn't expect it to go this poorly for Bernie.

Well, he tried and did a hell of a job all things considered.

Not many did, the Ohio numbers are pretty shocking

 

[foxuzamaki]

Bernie's campaign was alot more niche than I thought

 

[Wiz]

When can we expect speeches? Really interested to hear Bernie.

 

[boiled goose]

Any Sanders supporter who votes for Trump supports fascism. You don't have to vote for Hillary if you live in a non-swing state, but if you do live in a swing state, vote for Hillary. Capitalism is still more historically progressive than fascism, and helping Trump win in any way is worse than maintaining the status quo and working within the party to try to force it more leftwards through midterms and local elections.

Not really capitalism though, Crony capitalism.

Status quo of crony capitalism is definitely better than populist right wing fascism. No questions asked.

 

[Black Republican]

No way Clinton sweeps this, if she does wow. best night for her this year by far

 

[danm999]

Damn, Hilary winning everything?

It's still very early in Missouri so he might eke out a win there. Door has closed on Ohio and appears to be closing in Illinois.

 

[kingocfs]

Kasich celebratin' tonight!

 

[gutter_trash]

CNN projects Kasich to win Ohio. it's a miracle!

boooooo!

 

[PBY]

Bernie's campaign was alot more niche than I thought

Atheist socialist is niche in America.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Is he really so conceited that he thinks he'll be handed the nomination at an open convention despite having fewer delegates than Cruz and Trump?

The whole point is to prevent Trump from going to the convention with enough delegates to win. The GOP is desperately trying to make it so neither Trump or Cruz have enough to claim the nomination. Cruz is equally as bad as Trump in the eyes of the GOP.

He's the only man now to be handed the nomination for the GOP if it's brokered.

 

[Pineapple]

He dodged the political career ending bullet that hit Rubio. You don't come back into the spotlight after losing your home state that much.

But Rubio had already won a state. Now Kasich has won a state.

He's in virtually the same position that Rubio was in prior to tonight.

 

[RumblingRosco]

Really bummed that Bernie is looking to go 0-5 today. Thought he had a shot at at least a couple of those states. I think, if he really does lose them all, this has to be the end for him. In which case, well, I guess I'm voting Hilldawg in the fall, which honestly feels pretty shitty still even though she's a Democrat.

My hope with Hilldawg is that she brings with her a team of competent Democrats and hopefully, just hopefully, they don't go balls out on wars in the Middle East.

 

[BigWeather]

If Hillary wants my vote she'll have to come a bit further left and be a lot less cozy with corporate America and less hawkish. Let's see what she does with the time until November, I guess.

 

[Grexeno]

My hope is that we finally move towards an economy like Norway's: http://www.theguardian.com/environme...y-waste-energy

Uh

Norway is also still firmly on the oil train.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

So much for the polls being unreliable.

Do the right thing, Bernie.

 

[Azzanadra]

I really truly do not want Hillary as President, but it does indeed look like Bernie is done. If it is indeed Trump vs Hillary like it looks like it is after tonight, then yeah the lesser of two evils is Hillary.

So nothing will change or improve for the majority of Americans for eight years now, this sucks.

Well, if you had Trump, things would actually be WORSE. So Status Quo vs. regression.

What sucks about Hillary though is that Republicans are obviously evil so when a fellow lefty turns out to be no more than a shill for corporate interests... that betrayal just hurts, and its way such a strong dislike for Hillary is invoked.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

CNN Analyst man caught feelings right then

 

[Outdoor Miner]

Yep, it's pretty much done. Hopefully Hillary is capable to pull in those disillusioned Berniebros and get some unity going in spite of this weird candidate spite going on between their supporters.

That's Bernie's job. Hillary did it for Obama in '08 in a much more heated and contested primary.

[eyeball_kid]

I wlll at least be satisfied with tonight if Sanders can come back and take Hillary's home state. From Hell's heart, I stab at thee

 

[woolley]

They can choose anyone, it doesn't have to be someone that ran this year, like Mittens.

 

[NihonTiger90]

kasich won 1 state and his fans are going crazy, what the fuck?

The state GOP threw EVERYTHING into Kasich winning here. Literally.

If he lost, the shit would be hitting the fan tonight.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

I mean, I hate Clinton, but I hate Trump even more.

Anyone who votes for Trump is a bad person. No questions asked. That includes crossover voters in primaries.

But I certainly won't vote for Clinton, either. We have more than two choices on Presidential ballots.

 

[jehuty]

What are the chances that Trump is playing this for Rubio right now, and that Clinton is playing the same tune for Sanders?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECewrAld3zw

 

[TyrantII]

Are you blind or just extremely short sighted? Supreme court picks by Clinton for the next 8 years will help progressives for DECADES.

This. The GOP worked hard for 40 years to get us this fucked. Why do liberals think we can change it overnight.

Baby steps Elle. It stay on the path!

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Huh?

Really, he is right. Anyone can potentially go to jail. Like if Hilary murders someone in the streets in plain view.

 

[Tesseract]

So much for the polls being unreliable.

Do the right thing, Bernie.

The right thing is to keep running.

 

[XBP]

Disappointed that Bernie didn't do great but it was kinda obvious that he wouldn't be winning the nomination in the end anyway. The 200+ lead was rather huge and from what I understand, Hillary could never get over the 100 delegate lead in 2008 so a 200 lead is really massive.

 

[Abstrusity]

Liberals who favor muscular foreign policy. Your Sam Harris types.

It goes further than that. It's a pro-corporate, Realist international policy movement borne from McGovern's loss. Liberals decided "WELP, A LIBERAL LOST, TIME TO GIVE UP LIBERALISM." They veered to the right because they lost badly. It seemed to have success for a while with Bill Clinton, but it's been a pretty bad go of it, since. I think the problem with the party right now is that they're purposely downplaying their accomplishments -- afraid of their own success -- and trying to veer rightward again to hold house and senate seats.

This doesn't work, because if you have the choice between a Republican and a fake-Republican, the Republican wins, most of the time -- especially when Republicans are eating themselves alive from the far right and further right.

 

[Nokagi]

Why is Kasich even celebrating? Why are his fans cheering?

He is mathematically eliminated.

He could win 100% of the votes from here on out and still not win the nomination.

Stops Trump's ultimate victory. Can contest the convention now maybe.

 

[Dennis]

Kasich won because it is his home state.

It isn't rocket science.

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

The fact that so many people here are just calling it with less than 1% accounted for in 3 states and less than 5% in another is pathetic.

If you think they are calling races based on 1% then you really have no idea just how much data is out there right now about who exactly voted from a ton of organizations in all these states.

 

[Malygos]

Trump dominating and Bernie getting blown out. Couldn't be a better night!
