He was a huge threat in the beginning, but ended up being pretty easy to beat before the middle of the game.

GOP is Winner-take-most in IL
^ Edit: apparently it's a new GOP rule? I may be wrong https://www.washingtonpost.com/grap.../explaining-the-presidential-primary-process/

Great OP! Downstate IL isn't a wasteland though

GOP is Winner-take-most in IL

Great OP!

Thanks, changed!

 

[Viewt]

I'll be voting tomorrow morning here in Chicago. Hoping to be in and out since I'll be there at opening, and I live across the street from my area's voting location.

 

[Key789]

Thanks for all the work Bernie! You have been an outstanding candidate, and hopefully the next generation follows your ideals. Hopefully you can channel our cause into putting another Democrat in the white house to continue what Obama started

 

[Kuros]

HRC to increase lead by 50-100 delegates.

Bernie supporters to claim victory.

 

[PhoenixSFT]

Hahaha this OT is amazing.

 

[br0ken_shad0w]

HRC to increase lead by 50-100 delegates.

Bernie supporters and media to claim victory.

.

 

[Pryce]

Hillary takes FL and NC, Bernie takes Ohio, Missouri and Illinois.

Independents push Bernie to victory.

 

[Sectorseven]

You forgot the Northern Mariana Islands.

 

[Macho Madness]

HRC to increase lead by 50-100 delegates.

Bernie supporters to claim victory.

That's what's funny about the mainstream media. They know it's about delegates but they push state wins (even if it's by just 1%) as being the end-all be-all.

 

[RustyNails]

Holy shit. Best thread. Ever.

 

[Key789]

What anime is this OT referencing? Looks good, though I am not familiar with the source material.

 

[Macho Madness]

Xenoblade Chronicles?

 

[Mac_Lane]

Damn, the OPs keep delivering in this primary season, love GAF for that.

 

[Aaron Strife]

That's what's funny about the mainstream media. They know it's about delegates but they push state wins (even if it's by just 1%) as being the end-all be-all.

They just know their audience.

I mean have you heard Bernie supporters argue how he can still win? Hillary's wins don't count because they're all in red states. Like yeah ok.

 

[Black Republican]

"Winner take most"?

wah?

 

[BanGy.nz]

The wounded Queen will want revenge after the usurper's rebellion in Michigan.

 

[PBY]

Why no Northern Mariana in OP tho

 

[Macho Madness]

"Winner take most"?

wah?

Isn't that the definition of a proportional win?

 

[ivysaur12]

Why no Northern Mariana in OP tho

Ooooooops.

 

[massoluk]

LOL, I can't believe I'm seeing Xenoblade in GAF politics thread.
Who's Shulk? Who?

 

[gutter_trash]

hahahahahahaah awesome OP

 

[Pyrokai]

On the Republican side, why are there only 66 delegates in Ohio when more people live there than North Carolina and Missouri?

 

[And_Gignac]

pls, we all know Bernie is actually Alvis.

 

[ivysaur12]

LOL, I can't believe I'm seeing Xenoblade in GAF politics thread.
Who's Shulk? Who?

OBAMA.

 

[hipsterpants]

Missouri as Bionis Interior
God farts.

 

[Macho Madness]

On the Republican side, why are there only 66 delegates in Ohio when more people live there than North Carolina and Missouri?

It's something about congressional districts, I think.

 

[CDX]

Too true.

 

[Aaron Strife]

"Winner take most"?

wah?

Means a lot of delegates are set aside for the winner while the rest are awarded proportionally or through some other method (by winner of district etc)

 

[gutter_trash]

Florida! Florida! Florida!

 

[Flo_Evans]

"Winner take most"?

wah?

You get "bonus" delegates for coming in 1st.

 

[Aaron Strife]

GOP gives red states more delegates in the primaries.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

So last week with Rubio in the game? Kasich stays in if he wins Ohio, which seems more likely than Rubio taking Florida to me. But at this point, who even knows. Normally they both would have dropped out by now.

 

[Kibbles]

Little Marco's final stand

 

[Macho Madness]

Rubio and Kasich are putting it all on the line for their home states. If they both lose those tomorrow, I'd expect both to drop.

bah, i prefer the gop's either winner take all and % threshold methods

 

[loki 16]

Let's go Bernie! America needs a hero! #feelthebern

 

[Manmademan]

Rubio and Kasich are putting it all on the line for their home states. If they both lose those tomorrow, I'd expect both to drop.

Kaisch is probably taking Ohio, especially with Rubio telling his supporters to vote for Kaisch there.

Trump takes every other state in a walk though and Rubio is done.

 

[theprodigy]

It's something about congressional districts, I think.

no

GOP gives red states more delegates in the primaries.

To be more specific, the GOP allocates bonus delegates to states that voted Republican in the last presidential election, this is a fixed bonus regardless of whether the state went +50% or +1% Republican.

So, Ohio does not get these cause they went for Obama in 2012, North Carolina does because they went for Romney, the fact that both states were fairly close doesn't matter it's an all-or-nothing deal.

(detailed Republican and Democratic delegate allocation here)

 

[SlimySnake]

The OPs are getting more and more obscure by the week.

I guess thats what what happens when you try to reference a Nintendo game.

 

[Meowster]

Excited to vote for Hillary tomorrow!

I'm not familiar with it, but I appreciate the effort

 

[Darth Karja]

Voting tomorrow in Ohio. Volunteered at a Bernie Rally this morning too.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Rubio and Kasich are putting it all on the line for their home states. If they both lose those tomorrow, I'd expect both to drop.

Yeah, they really can't play games if they don't win their home states. They've both been deflecting on the talk circuit when straight up asked what their path to victory is. If they can't be counted on to bring in those swing states, the case for them evaporates.

 

[The Lamonster]

Voting on the democrat ballot in Missouri tomorrow

 

[Doug Heffernan]

Damn, the OPs keep delivering in this primary season, love GAF for that.

I don't get the references.

 

[maxcriden]

I thought Hillary had a lot more, based on superdelegates. Is that not the case.

 

[Holmes]

I thought Hillary had a lot more, based on superdelegates. Is that not the case.

With supes she's already around 1230.

 

[eBay Huckster]

I thought Hillary had a lot more, based on superdelegates. Is that not the case.

it's the case, there's just not really any point in counting them until the process has ended
