I have a question reading all this stuff about Ohio, one person can vote in both the democratic and republican primaries right?

 

[teruterubozu]

Which state?

Ohio, I believe. At least that's where all this "crossover" stuff is hitting the news.

 

[Calamari41]

Doesn't Rubio have a shot at Florida Governor down the line? Then he could run for prez again in the 2020s.

Can Florida afford to gamble on a governor who sweats that much?

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Rubio will probably go into lobbying

Rubio is not a good representative of Florida overall. He could run as mayor of Hialeah or Miami-Dade, or go sell home insurance.

You have to select a Dem or Rep ballot when you go to vote, then you only vote on those candidates.

 

[mo60]

He just has to win Nevada, Florida, Ohio, Virginia, and North Carolina to win the general.

This is assuming he doesnt also win Iowa, Colorado, NH, Wisconsin.

Only swing states matter. Any republican has at least a 30% chance.

There's the potential for republicans to lose states they already have like what kinda happened in 2008 if Trump is the nominee. Even if he won a couple of those states if Hilary won a couple of republican states including some big swing states trump won't win.

No. One or the other.

Why so much pandering for this guy? It seems rather silly for a completely random dude on Twitter (250 followers). He posts 5 ridiculously safe numbers for today, with no explanation of, well, anything. Pretty much anyone in PoliGAF could objectively make these estimates and nail it. He doesn't even have a Republican model.

Actually, let me throw up that exactly value for Clinton (51ish give or take a few) in Ohio for the GE right now and I'll probably get it within a few points! My revolutionary statistical model is "duh." Should I start up a blog for this?

And look at this crap:
"My model is right, unless it's wrong, and because it might be wrong I'm not showing you any of the numbers because it'd make me look bad." Genius!

Wow. You seem... Uh... Very bothered by this guy's existence lmao. The thing is, it's easy to say that now, but nearly everyone was saying how Clinton would just dominate all of these early states. Tyler was the only statician I'm aware of that called the "biggest error in polling history." That's notable.

Done!

Not many people at my place. It's also the middle of the day. I imagine it'll get crazy around 4-7:30pm when people are off work.

He has a shot in the theoretical sense that he could run for it. But Republicans hold every statewide office in Florida and a near supermajority of other government offices, many of whom are already gearing up to run for governor in 2018. Why would any of them clear the field for a guy who self-destructed so spectacularly on the national stage that he couldn't even win his own state in a Republican primary?

Even if he somehow did win the primary and become governor, why would national Republicans ever give him money again, after he blew the 2016 race?

I mean, shit, they're scheming behind the scenes to give the keys to Mitt Romney again. I can easily see these idiots going all in on Rubio in 2024 (after Trump's eight years are up)

I Ohio voting? what does that even mean.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Rubio will probably impregnate more lobbyist or sell those giant inflatable bubbles you can bounce around in they have in New Zeland.

 

[ampere]

I Ohio voting? what does that even mean.

It's supposed to be a heart and Ohio at the same time

 

[ivysaur12]

It's supposed to be a heart and Ohio at the same time

I still don't understand.

 

[Pyrokai]

Yeah, Ohio supposedly resembles a heart shape, is in the figurative geographical location of a heart, and an old slogan of the state is "The Heart of It All!" which, honestly, is pretty fitting considering its microcosm and swing statues of the US as a whole.

Edit:

I still don't understand.

So it's like "I Heart Voting" or "I Love Voting"....like the "I Heart NY" shirts or something. I thought it was more well-known outside of the state......these stickers were everywhere in the news during the 08 and 12 elections and stuff.

Hey, man, don't Wyoming his buzz.

Woooooow... really?

 

[shoplifter]

Also in the 80s we used 'Ohio - the heart of it all' so it probably stems a little from that too.

Ahh yea that was better, thanks

(I'm making a joke about how you could ever heart Ohio etc etc etc)

The kind of decisions that will be needed by the next Florida governor will not set the kind of record that will be popular with the GOP-even Donald Trump's GOP.

 

[Black Republican]

Ohio has a heart? :O

 

[Pyrokai]

Also in the 80s we used 'Ohio - the heart of it all' so it probably stems a little from that too.

Yeah, 90s, too. It was on the license plates as well. Now we have "Birhplace of Aviation" along with a bunch of other things faded into the background of the plates. I think "the heart of it all" is still in there. Also we had pink driver's license which were totally awesome and unique until Mr. Macho John Kasich deemed them too girly and changed them to blue > : (

Basically, there's a heart theme like omg

Where will you guys be when Marco Rubio's political career ends tonight?

Probably catching up on the 3 episodes of Better Call Saul I've missed because of work

 

[neonglow]

Where will you guys be when Marco Rubio's political career ends tonight?

Will he actually suspend tonight or likely just hold a press conference tomorrow?

 

[Calamari41]

Mar-a-Lago will be the best seat in the country

 

[DiracSea]

So, is there going to be live-coverage of sorts? CNN maybe? When to watch?

 

[CharminUltra]

Little Marco Rubio, the people's zero.

CBS news is live. Free. Online. It's more low key though.

[boiled goose]

Voted for Hillary in NC last Saturday. I really like what Bernie says on some things but I want an operator, not an idealist, at the helm. Hillary is also much more likely to get fed up with GOP bullshit and go off the bipartisan happy train fast and with efficacy, which is where bammers has been operating effectively for years.

She's a tremendous consensus builder and I expect her to surround, isolate, and destroy the GOP in detail over the next eight years.

I like this post.
It was the reason I preferred Hillary over Obama in 08.

I good morning voting.

 

[Indicate]

were they interviewing Bernie at a buffet?

CNN: 90% of the people we talked to (early voters in Chicago) who were voting Democrat were telling us they were voting for Bernie Sanders

 

[Leona Lewis]

Even Cruz is disgusted by Cruz.

Look at all those smiling faces.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

After he loses Florida, he will be embarrassed, and have no path at all to the White House.

Even in a brokered convention hail mary, they wouldn't want to pick the guy who couldn't even win his home state. The only candidate to not do so. Bad luck for him, his home state is also a swing state, and an important one.

His political career took heavy damage from this run. He's a broken man, and staying in past today will just look sad and potentially harm what little career he has left.
