Gonna be another Wyoming where it is close enough they get almost the same amount of delegates and then people look at the supers and she has more of those.

I will be disappointed if Indiana goes for Bernie though.

 

[besada]

Unless Hillary loses this fall, it will be eight years before another Dem has the chance.

There might be some token opposition in 2020, but Hillary will be an incumbent.

Plenty of time between now and then to impeach her for her handling of the terrorist crisis in Rawanda (2019) and her shady business deals with Elon Musk and the renaming of Olympus Mons to Hillary Mons (2020).

 

[Piggus]

I like you, Barnyard. But my god I have heard this speech 10,000 times.

 

[Mr. RPG]

Hold your ground, Indiana!

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Is there a live link to coverage

I need to see Cruz's concession speech

Cause if he doesn't concede goddamn he's insane

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Ya... Looks like Bernie's gonna win this. I hope everyone's ready to feel the annoyance on their facebook feeds.

Won't he net like 1-2 delegates with this primary being so close?

Cruz will continue on. He and Kasich have no choice but to ride it out in hopes of being the one the establishment selects

 

[besada]

I like you, Barnyard. But my god I have heard this speech 10,000 times.

He'll only stop if we all donate $27.

 

[Kusagari]

Ya... Looks like Bernie's gonna win this. I hope everyone's ready to feel the annoyance on their facebook feeds.

Hasn't Gary not even reported yet?

 

[TheFatOne]

Won't he net like 1-2 delegates with this primary being so close?

Yup. So even when he wins he looses. Helps with his bullshit rhetoric though.

 

[Miles X]

Won't he net like 1-2 delegates with this primary being so close?

yeah, whatever happens now, it'll be a net gain of 2 for either.

 

[Risette]

You understand Trumps historic relation to Hilary? You understand what he runs his campaign on, polititans who take money from special interests. You understand Hilary is the poster boy for that? Everything literally points to Bernie being a better opponent, but ok, we'll go with your stokholm syndrome gut feeling for the clinton brand

That's nice and all, but Trump is still Trump. His anti-establishment gimmick isn't going to win over minority voters.

 

[Prodigal Son]

Ya... Looks like Bernie's gonna win this. I hope everyone's ready to feel the annoyance on their facebook feeds.

What exactly is annoying, might I ask? People who you disagree with celebrating the victory of their prefered candidate? Why is that annoying?

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Lol, I mean I think everybody has heard this speech before. No honestly, it's the same thing every time. I haven't been impressed with a Bernie speech in a long time, well other than that one time a bird saved it.

Yep.

At this point in the game everyone who cares enough to be paying attention to news channels right now has Bernie's stump speech memorized down to the timestamps.

"wealthiest nation in history of the world"
.
.
.
.
"infrastructure"
.
.
.
.
"student debt"
.
.
.
.
.

There's a lot of "1 percent"s mixed in there

 

[Slayven]

people were already crying election fraud, wonder if the that turn will now change

 

[Maxim726X]

So... Exit polls mean nothing?

Yeah.

 

[Miles X]

What exactly is annoying, might I ask? People who you disagree with celebrating the victory of their prefered candidate? Why is that annoying?

Pretending he has a shot, is what he means (obviously).

 

[B-Dubs]

Hasn't Gary not even reported yet?

Yup. Marion isn't even 20% in yet either.

 

[3phemeral]

Hasn't Gary not even reported yet?

According to Google, it's 23% reporting with 50.1%/49.9% Bernie. Seems too close to even call it in yet. They're only a few hundred votes apart. (91,573/91,228)

 

[DrForester]

In the end, all Hillary needs to do is make sure Bernie has a spot in her administration to help get most of his voters on her side. And really, that's the best Bernie can hope for at this point sadly.

I think Cruz might be going scorched Earth. Might be so pissed at Trump that he would rather Hillary won, and he can come back in 4 years to try again.

 

[rjinaz]

You understand Trumps historic relation to Hilary? You understand what he runs his campaign on, politicians who take money from special interests, they're fake, and not real like him. You understand that message has done wonders for him and is getting him the nomination and new republican voters. You understand Hilary is the poster boy for that message he presents? Everything literally points to Bernie being a better opponent, but ok, we'll go with your stokholm syndrome gut feeling for the clinton brand

Yes and I also understand how reality works. How vicious Trump is going to be? What is Trump going to say about Hillary we haven't heard 1 million times before? It's going to be boring and nobody will care. I also know the party is far more comfortable with a more "moderate" or expected candidate. So yes, I feel more comfortable with Clinton at the helm now. When others were still in the game with Trump, I felt Sanders could hold his own. Now I'm not so sure.

 

[Alrus]

I heard Weaver was on msnbc, did Rachel roast him about that dumb "money laundering" attack?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Ya... Looks like Bernie's gonna win this. I hope everyone's ready to feel the annoyance on their facebook feeds.

I think you did the same thing last week with Connecticut. You really need to be more mindful of different counties reporting at different rates before making predictions.

 

[Brinbe]

An open primary with tons of white voters. Clearly the bastion of civil democracy, an example for the rest of the nation to follow.

 

[diablos991]

So no brokered convention, is my guess.

Is this worse for the Republican Party I wonder? Seems like it will make it easier for Trump to get an actual presidency this way since he probably would have went independent otherwise

It would have been worse for the GoP to have a brokered convention.
This way they can save face and say their establishment still represents the voters.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Nah Sanders supporters on facebook will be way worse with a loss.

They don't really gloat. They will whine about suppression, fraud, and being disenfranchised with a loss though.

Lake County returns starting to come in though.

 

[Piggus]

What exactly is annoying, might I ask? People who you disagree with celebrating the victory of their prefered candidate? Why is that annoying?

People who deny basic math jumping through mental hoops as they cling to something that ended long ago.

 

[chadskin]

Clinton is about to lose another Clinton County heh

 

[Prodigal Son]

Pretending he has a shot, is what he means (obviously).

Haha what?

So they should just throw in the towel? Why would them wanting him to have a chance annoy you? That sounds incredibly childish.

 

[Battersea Power Station]

So... Exit polls mean nothing?

Yeah.

They're not magic. Either the pollsters ask an accurate representation of the voting public or they don't.

 

[TheFatOne]

I heard Weaver was on msnbc, did Rachel roast him about that dumb "money laundering" attack?

Nope. She went soft. Asked him about it, but then failed to follow up.

For every new conservative voter Trump pulls in, 2 are pushed away. The Republican party is not a purely ideological legion, like Cruz has assumed.

Clinton may have high unfavorables and an unavoidable chain to the Washington establishment, but Clinton does not terrify a massive chunk of the population the way Trump does.

 

[Jarmel]

I think Cruz might be going scorched Earth. Might be so pissed at Trump that he would rather Hillary won, and he can come back in 4 years to try again.

That might be his strategy but it won't work. Cruz has always been a regional candidate due to his views. He would have been long snuffed out in a better field. Hell even in this field without Trump he would have been snuffed out.

 

[E92 M3]

Guys why are you talking about Cruz quitting? He's nominating a judge for the supreme court tomorrow.

OK I'll bite: she really have went after Bernie. In fact no one has (like John Kasich on the GOP side). Let's say Sanders is the nominee. Had is he going to handle everything the GOP throws at him that has not come up at all? When you haven't been attacked, when the Skelton's in the closet haven't come out, you always look great compared to the person who is constantly being pulled down. When is suddenly you that drastically shifts. If Trump can soon the narrative that Cruz's dad was part of the JFK assassination just wait until he starts calling Sanders a Commie and tying him to Castro and Chairman Mao.

 

[Alrus]

No brokered GoP convention makes me kinda sad though, I really wanted to witness the fuckery It was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Both Trump and Bernie are laughably bad general election candidates. There is a massive oppo cache for both of them. Trump's rhetoric, and Sanders' socialism. Hillary is the only strong GE candidate, and from GOP side, Kasich is.

When others were still in the game with Trump, I felt Sanders could hold his own. Now I'm not so sure.

You would betray your king?

I'm joking of course. I'm still a bit disappointed that another Bernie supporter has given up on him, though.

I'm not on facebook, so I don't care what they post there?

It's annoying because it looks bloody stupid pretending he has a chance to win, when he clearly doesn't. People completely ignoring logic and math.

It's not them wanting him to have a chance, it's think he has one.

That's childish.

 

[DrForester]

How many guaranteed delegates does Trump have? Doesn't he have a bunch of Delegates who were elected with the assumption they were supporting Trump (like in Pennsylvania).

 

[Thunder Monkey]

Plenty of time between now and then to impeach her for her handling of the terrorist crisis in Rawanda (2019) and her shady business deals with Elon Musk and the renaming of Olympus Mons to Hillary Mons (2020).

She's got an FBI indictment hanging over her head right now and Dems are still voting for her!

She could literally shoot someone on 5th Avenue and her support wouldn't drop.

Hillary 2020!

 

[Square2015]

CNN Exit poll has Bernie winning with 55%, even among women (52%)!

 

[NYCmetsfan]

I heard Weaver was on msnbc, did Rachel roast him about that dumb "money laundering" attack?

He laundered his excuse "state party officials used that term, we just quoted it"

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Cruz to announce that he's using his position as assumed Commander in Chief to authorize a major offensive against ISIS tomorrow.

 

[rjinaz]

What exactly is annoying, might I ask? People who you disagree with celebrating the victory of their prefered candidate? Why is that annoying?

I agree with you there. I may be on the side of Clinton now, but some of the attitudes of the loudest Hillary supporters really turns me away. I've enjoyed Bernie's chance at President, he had every right to try and go for it and quite frankly he still has the right to fight to the end, regardless if some simple minded Bernie supporters have salt or post stupid things on their fb wall.

 

[Goodstyle]

What exactly is annoying, might I ask? People who you disagree with celebrating the victory of their prefered candidate? Why is that annoying?

Sorry if I offended you, but I think Bernie fans tend to be a bit overzealous in my experience, moreso than supporters of other candidates.

I think you did the same thing last week with Connecticut. You really need to be more mindful of different counties reporting at different rates before making predictions.

I think I also said it in Michigan too and a ton of you guys were saying "wait for the other counties". You guys don't always know how they'll go!

I'm not on facebook, so I don't care what they post there?

It's annoying because it looks bloody stupid pretending he has a chance to win, when he clearly doesn't. People completely ignoring logic and math.

That's childish.

"Yay Bernie won" isn't really saying he has a chance. The fact that some are conflating the two and letting it get to them is both interesting and telling.

Sorry if I offended you, but I think Bernie fans tend to be a bit overzealous in my experience, moreso than supporters of other candidates.

It's cool, man. Wasn't really offended. You're right about that though. Many Bernie supporters are insanely zealous. I can understand why it might cross some as excessive or grating.

 

[danm999]

This Tuesday's results are in a bit earlier. So Trump has wrapped it up huh.

 

[SolicitorPirate]

What exactly is annoying, might I ask? People who you disagree with celebrating the victory of their prefered candidate? Why is that annoying?

Think of it this way; at this stage, Bernie is like a Fist of the North Star mook who's already been hit by Kenshiro and told he's already dead. But instead of exploding, he spends the next 20 episodes following Ken around and yelling he's going to beat him this time
