Hard to say Trump had one consistent message with all the disparaging things he says but he's the best by far. Dude has beat the GOP establishment with rhetoric far crazier than "normal". We just saw how a slip up from Rubio cost him BIG. Trump? Dude is almost invincible vs. any backlash for the stupid things he says.

Making negative ads against Trump wouldnt be morally reprehensible at least, lol.
I think all these tactical glitches tell you what Sanders intentions were when he decided to run. He wanted to push a more leftish narrative into the spotlight, not so much the presidency.
But, hey, arent most social and political movements spontaneous?

Well the only people that have taken on Ted are Trump and Rubio. I hope that changes this weekend.
I can't believe how incredibly well the GOP side went tonight.
Tonight showed Rubio really took a nuke full blast from Christie last week, that shit was savage.
At this point I have no idea what's going to happen, but as a liberal I would love either Trump or Cruz as their candidate.

The whole down-vote ballet issue is actually my primary, #1, reason for voting Hilary and vouching for her. This whole revolution Bernie wants cannot possibly happen in the White House. The president doesn't start or push policy, Congress does, white house is the roadblock setup to funnel whether a bill can make the final pass through the siphon (veto proof etc.) he has no actual control over policy that's worth a damn while in the white house, at least not control as far as the route it takes. The revolution he wants to enact is done in the house and senate and if he attacks the dem leadership or his presence at the top of the ticket hurts down ticket house and senate seats either from lack of help or from pure rejection from the overall electorate. He will be lame duck president for his entire tenure should he somehow get elected. I'd rather have a full democratic, veto proof majority in house and senate, then a democrat in the White house it means that much. But considering what the presidents ACTUAL duties are, nominating executive/judicial members, foreign policy and military, the idea of a republican president also scares me shitless at this point. So basically I want a president I feel comfortable performing his actual duties, and I want a president who can actually help get people into congress who I believe are more likely to enact legislation I want.

The Republican nomination is going to come down to Trump vs. Cruz.

Trump could not have asked for a better night. His decisive win gives him that last bit of legitimacy. Long-time republicans have to be freaking the fuck out tonight, especially the neocons.
Frankly, the best day of the year so far for me. Neocons can go fuck themselves.
The polling after the next couple of candidate drop outs will basically show the ending of this race on the GOP side. In particular, what % from Carson and Cruz, and Carly go to Trump. Trump has been careful not to piss off those supporters, and I see the majority going to him. If that is how it plays out, he will be the nominee.

On a related note, from a quick look 8 of the 18 Democratic gubernatorial seats are up, with three of them currently forecast to flip or as toss ups. So by this time next year they may only control 15 governor's mansions...

Yeah, I don't think so now that you mention it.
In such case, the question is what % goes from Carson and Carly to Cruz and Trump.
It was more wishful thinking on my part.

The strategy is banking on winning heavily white states to soften the blow in March and hope that the Clinton campaign stumbles . I also guess he will attempt to be somewhat competitive to minorities .
Seems like a risky and divisive strategy concerning on one hand; the white Americans most likely won't be as liberal as IW and NH.

Polling has been horrible this season. There were like 8 polls out of NH and IA every other day, but we haven't had a good picture of Nevada since October, and SC has had like 3 since October as well--with the last one being 3 weeks ago as you said. No idea what's really going on in Super Tuesday states as well.

No reason for Christie to stay. Tonight was either going to end his campaign or Kasich's; both camped out in NH for months. Crazy that not long ago Christie seemed like The Man. Now he's nothing.

Don't worry, he'll either be Trump's VP pick or his AG pick. They've got a deal going.
I saw this on her show the other night, it is one of the best things to come out of the campaign so far.

My grandmother's boyfriend can't afford the pills for his cancer treatment and he's just too young for Medicare... :/
It's Lymph node cancer so he's thinking he's dead soon... Never been close at all to him, but this blows.

Can he get on Medicaid?
Maybe the company offers some kind of subsidy? I know the company that makes the meds I take will help pay for the deductible if you don't make enough. Well, they do for me anyway since I'm poor.

How have only 89% reported?
Hillary needs to wake up. The margin of victory shows it is not going to be easy going in upcoming states too.

Trump about to get way more delegates from SC while the other candidates get none.
If anyone gets over 50% in Texas, they get 155 delegates... Too bad that's not going to happen, but fun to imagine.

Bernie got 15 or 13 delegates? Dave Wasserman says he will get 15, NY times has it at 13?
Hillary got 9 + 6 super = 15?

I didn't realise that Kasichs campaign manager was John Weaver. On one hand that gives me confidence he's going to fail, but on the other hand Weaver is a true piece of shit whom politics would be better off without.
And looks like I was right to say it would be a win if Clinton kept Bernie below a 20% lead. She won't get the same margin in South Carolina I'm afraid.
I have a horrible feeling Democrats are about to do. Jeremy Corbyn to themselves. Whilst obviously Sander's is not as left wing as he is, every aspect of this seems to be the same including his voting coalition, and that constantly surprised people by how active and how energised it was (and how big his margin of victory was).

Lol they were playing his concession speech earlier instead of Kasich's who came in 2nd. They also had their bar at the bottom say he was battling for 3rd place when he was in 5th.
I think there are 'at large' super delegates appropriated to the majority winner so long as one or more candidates breaks the 15% mark. In this case Sanders would earn two additional delegates in addition the ones based on percentage.

Democrats keep finding a way to not select Hillary Clinton. Maybe the group knows something together that we don't know individually. Maybe the world has something else in mind for Hillary Clinton.
She's an effective operator, if not an especially gifted campaigner.

Well, both the race and the narrative would probably be quite different if SC was the first primary and NV the first caucus. Trump and his Trumpeters would still keep Trumpeting though, because he's a winner and wins everywhere.

I think it is 15. He won the state 5/8 and both districts by the same margin. Clinton has 9 plus however many superdelegates.

Also, in general the NH polling was ass, but a) I beat 538 again and b) Marist has been knocking out of the park, they did almost as well as Selzer in Iowa and were within the margin of error for NH. Impressive performance, hope they do Nevada or SC soon.

Daaaaamn. Among voters who want a trustworthy candidate, Sanders won 94-5. That's just brutal, that's a disgustingly large lead for an issue that central to most voters.

For this weeks debates, Clinton going in on Sanders tomorrow no doubt.
And this week's GOP debate will most likely only have 6 people :
Trump
Cruz
Rubio
Ben
Bush
Kasich
Rubio probably will have flashbacks after the last debate
