It's so sad that I signed a petition for him to get on the ballot a few hours before he dropped out. That volunteer must be broken up.

Narrative. Had he won Bernie could have ridden that, combined with his almost certain NH win, into maybe getting some of the black vote and closing the gap.

I feel like i should start naming my dankest dungeon characters as nominee candidates.

Man-at-arms is bern, although houndmaster could work (but they suck). Or not. Occultist. Yeah, attacking others with the eldritch horrors of socialism, why not.
Hills is a Hellion, evidently
The abomination would obv become Cruz.
Trump's a Jester.
Leper... hrm.. Rand. Yerp. Rand.
Crusader is Carson
Can't decide if Christie should be a grave robber or a highwayman.
Kasich...Plague Doctor?

And then there's jeb.

Anyway, here are the classes. Input appreciated.

Sanders needed a one-two punch going into NV and SC, and then Super Tuesday. The fact that Nevada is a closed caucus (Clinton won Democrats by 17% in Iowa) and will not be overwhelmingly white will hurt Sanders.

already mentioned by me

NV is a closed Caucus. Hillary won Democrats by 17 in Iowa. She should do well there.

Minnesota poll is probably bonkers. Its going to be close there. Open like Iowa, Idaho and Utah

I'm going to go with Kos' prediction for Super Tuesday - Bernie carries MN (ErasureAcer brofist), VT and MA, Killary wins everything else. Colorado could be competitive and I know fuck-all about American Samoa.

He kind of won, though? ;)

Trump keeps playing the victim. I have to feel people are going to start getting sick of that coming from a supposed "winner".

He's whined since the beginning about unfairness for all kinds of things from debates to media coverage to just plain old twitter users. Keep in mind he's catering to a voting bloc that feels victimized by their country being stolen from them and shit. Complaining about the liberal media, political correctness, and a system rigged against him is a plus for Trump.

If Ben Carson wasn't such a piece of crap, I'd feel bad about it

One asshole screwing over another does not elicit sympathy but is funny. I'll be thrilled if Carson starts going after Cruz publicly.

I don't see the deception. One could reasonably Believe that Ben Carson had in fact dropped out.

Probably not MA.
And there’s Massachusetts, which of course is Vermont’s neighbor. But beyond Cambridge it’s not really a Sanders kind of state. It’s a very Democratic machine state—Clinton slaughtered Barack Obama there in 2008. The other states, mostly Southern, are almost surely Clinton states.

Trump could hypothetically get a major win in NH with the help of his fellow candidates. The aggregates have the next four candidates all at 10-12%.

NH has a threshold at 10%. If Christie, Carly, best friend Rand and Carson could move up just enough to knock Cruz, Kasich, Jeb and Rubio under 10%, Trump would win every delegate.

Jeb is so fucked though. I don't see any scenario where Rubio doesn't get over 10% easily.

Carson won't ever go after anyone publicly.

He'd have to be speaking audibly to do so.

I mean you can spin it all you want but a loss is still a loss? There is no "they both won" in electoral politics. Otherwise both Al Franken and Norm Coleman would've been senators from Minnesota in 2009.

They were. Coleman's term didn't end until January 3rd.

Its not a a spin. She had a Bush-win. Theres no winning narrative for her, even if she won. People dont think in absolutes, so this is a pretty good boost for Sanders.


It could have been bigger, of course. I am expecting a big boost in general polls. If theres not any of that I will concede that this was a failure for him.

This has been going around for a while now, apparently Cruz may have had volunteers passing this around last night. Trump's going to be able to go in on Cruz at the next debate and have the high ground again.

So, okay, can one honestly make the argument that even if Sanders won, narrowly, that this was a state that catered to his demographics and he had to fight tooth-and-nail for it, so why would he do better in diverse SEC states?

A half-assed victory that only pulls further cracks in her "inevitable" narrative. I dont see it for ha, sorry.

And on the flip side, Sanders couldn't win in a state that is overwhelmingly white. How is he supposed to win when the demographics aren't in his favor?

I actually really hope Sanders starts going after Hillary on her emails to prepare her for the attacks coming in the general. It is unquestionably her weakest response and the response she gave in the townhall last week will get her laughed out of the general by the GOP. She needs to tighten up her response and I think Sanders can help her here.
