Hmm really?
TYT seems pretty grounded atm.
(Jimmy Dore has been delusional and annoying for a while). I like his optimism, but it is annoying when he tries to shut down some of the more sobering commentary

next tuesday should be the absolute deadline imo, unless it's some kind of insanely big victory for him, which it won't be.

Wow.
Was he predicated to do so well? I didn't pay attention to the GOP polling side of things for the NY primary.
That's not convenience. That's the AP calling it. Most reputable news outlets use the AP to call elections. The CNNs and the NY Times' of the world do not call elections on their own.
The AP has hundreds of reporters calling county and local board of elections. They have the manpower to find out who is actually winning. From there, they analyze the remaining districts that have either not responded or have low counts and find out the likelihood of how likely the candidate with less votes can win those areas.
In this case, the AP started to indicate they were gonna call it for Hillary right before Trump took the podium. The AP then called it for Hillary minutes after Trump stepped off stage. The Times, CNN and other outlets waited until other outlets (like NBC) called it before they did.
The NY Times did a candid live stream of their newsroom as the results came in. The entire process was broadcasted out to thirty five thousand people. It's not a conspiracy.

Isn't the winner of New York primaries takes all the 95 delegates?

I've never watched them, but I tuned in. Something about a 5 person race. And ending a segment with maybe it's time to start rooting for Cruz?

That's scary
Cenk Uygur can be pretty crazy. He just sounds level headed because he's not screaming or over the top like Jimmy. Don't let that fool you.

If you really believe that... Then that certainly says a lot about your sanity.
How long have you been watching?
I mean, I don't know how widespread it is, there's a lot of stuff floating around right now, but if the internet has taught me anything, when an internet-popular candidate loses big, calls of vote rigging pop up immediately. Coming from a Bernie supporter.
That said, anecdotally I've had almost as many friends as I have fingers (almost 10 for those not following) tell me or post on facebook that their names weren't at their polling station and they had to do a affidavit ballot. Is that normal for this to be widespread?
I gave them three minutes. Lots of "I feel..." statements.
Cenk seriously talking about a 4 or 5 person Presidential race with Bernie winning the plurality and the Dems taking the house so that the GOP can't vote in who they want if nobody gets 270.
I mean,...
I feel like if you dumped /r/politics into a blender and then poured it all into Youtube, you'd get TYT.
So you're telling me there's a chance?
I like Cenk, I find him funnier than Jimmy even though Jimmy's profession is a comedian.
Hopefully TYT comes around sooner or later, which I think they will, but the demonizing of Bernie and his supporters is something that absolutely should be called out, good on them for providing an alternative voice in that regard. On the same token the demonizing of Hillary absolutely needs to stop, too, Jimmy is insane with some of his stuff.

I hope tonight will humble Bernie and he'll tone it down a bit.

Haha it's because of useless tripe like TYT that he is getting 'demonized'. It's been embarrassing for months.

Wasn't Trump expected to win NYC tho? Cruz's gaffe in that one debate more than likely sunk him. And I don't think anyone else was available.. unless Kasich was actually a factor.

Tell me how Michael, John, or Anna or hell even Cenk are not being level headed today?
They are even trolling Jimmy about how slow the gap is closing.
haha. keep watching to get some context. the 5 person race was about a weird scenario where maybe Bernie could maybe get a plurality of the votes, which would mean nothing because you need a majority in GE. They are basically saying that Bernie running against Hillary in GE doesnt make sense in any scenario. It is basically handing the presidency to the GOP.
It's nice to want things
Curious to see the odds on Trump getting to 1237 after tonight
Hillary is winning/won NY?
The power of the minority vote. There is a reason they are the Democratic base Bernie
The last few losses took some of Trump's shine.
Nope. Both Ana and Cenk are pretty damn terrible, and go off the deep end pretty frequently.
Yup. Bernie can't win without it. They've failed miserably at reaching minorities.

The problem with TYT, as I see it, is that they are real life caricatures of the stereotypical "delusional" Sanders supporter. I'd think they were doing some meta art piece if the rage weren't so real.
Looks like Kasich is taking Manhattan though, which is hilarious.

And we'll be easy targets for Bernie Bros when he looses.
I have to wonder exactly what you and most of GAF considers the deep end. I'm progressive to the point I would be called an utter extremist in the US but have a nice home in the Green party in Australia.

You gotta be kidding. Bernie is going to the convention and will use every delegate he can get to squeeze Clinton on his agenda. Clinton supporters keep mistaking the Bernie camp as simply a political campaign. It is that, but it's also a movement.
Yep.
It's idiocy distilled. I only watch for the salt at this point, after this primary season I'll never watch them again.

Trumps probably gonna get under 60% when it ends 
Honestly it'll make him more agressive probably. He seemed to become more hostile as he lost more. Hopefully not though.
It's a teardrop in the rain.
