I just want Cruz's campaign to go out like a wet fart. The salt from AM radio will be glorious.

Thing is the GOP has very little leverage to push Cruz out. His campaign is funded by a handful of millionaires from Texas who truly believe in his kind of conservatism. They won't stop the money from flowing until the bitter end. What else can they do? Everyone already hates Cruz, and he knows it.
I just want to hear his concession speech. I'm sure he will be crying as he talks about how he galvanized the grass roots into third place.

Rubio is going to pick Jeb! Lol
I can't tell. Is this mocking newsmax or the mainstream conservative media?

I don't entirely know what you're referring to, but if you're making something election-related for release close to the actual general election, no one is going to be in the public consciousness except the Presidential candidates and their running mates. So likely Clinton, Trump or Rubio, ????? and ??????.
Once a candidate drops out neither the media nor the public gives a shit about them anymore.
Newsmax can't be that mainstream. Their entire revenue strategy is scamming old folks with gold IRAs and biblical investment advice, alongside selling a smattering of conservative tchotchkes and books.
Kind of both?
Was wondering about that. I was looking at the playlist and didn't see a section on Nevada. Figured they either didn't cover it at all or spent less then a minute on it. I wanted to see what his reaction was going to be after the crap he was talking about Hillary leading up to Nevada.
Had completely forgotten about spring break. If this happens to any degree Sanders is screwed. Even if he wins this areas his delegate grab could very well be lower then expected and it might not mean anything.

That's Joe!
Something happens that Joe doesn't like, gets almost completely ignored.
If Hillary lost, half the show would be "I don't know how she can recover. This is devestating."

To be fair, Clinton winning is very much a dog bites man story. At this point Sanders needs a miracle on Super Tuesday to stay competitive. What else is there to say?

I believe this has been posted before, but I can't find it. Is there a breakdown of where Bush supporters are expected to go?
There have been a few polls which give different results, I remember a Suffolk/USA Today poll which gave: Kasich (35%), Rubio (25%), Cruz (15%), Trump (15%), undecided (10%).
Kasich is the troll Jeb could never be
Hillary might not be viable in vermont. She's at 13.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I posted the MSNBC link on page 151 of this thread.
Class struggle requires solidarity of the working class, and without social justice, there is no solidarity. It's troubling to hear people talk about solving racism by fighting capitalism, when that's putting the cart before the horse. Even more troubling is the meme that racism and other forms of bigotry were just tricks that capitalists played on the working class to divide them. But the truth is that the working class was already divided by racism, and all the progressive gains were going to one side of that division. And once the other side of that division gained parity, a large segment of workers abandoned the struggle rather than stand in solidarity with people they considered inferior. This cannot be blamed on the capitalists, it is a flaw in ourselves that we must address and heal. To fight the class struggle, we must first unite our class.
In the recent primary thread, you said:
Now, while Bernie has done a superb job of changing the conversation on economic inequality, he has been terrible with intersectionality. Far more credit is due to BLM for Hillary's stance here. And this is part of the problem on the left that is preventing us from properly uniting. The insistence that other people's problems are either less important or a mere side effect of a problem we're focused on ends up alienating the people with those problems. It's why there's been heavy friction between white Bernie supporters and black progressives.
Thankfully, we can work on multiple issues at once. Labor is critically important, but to really leverage our power to strengthen it, we need to stop acting like the increasing visibility of social justice issues takes us away from it. That just serves to divide us further. It's the reason Labor has lost so much already.
I remember when Carter beat Ford. I was hoping Ford would win because he looked really serious and had the name of a car. :X
Wow, 106 years old. That lady has seen some shit. There's a decent chance that when she was a child she had living relatives who were slaves. And now she's standing in the White House meeting the first black President.
I can't even imagine how that must feel.
Shocking.

This is a big problem. Trump seems much more popular than Clinton in Vermont. Can the Democrats really afford to lose Vermont in November? Vote Sanders.
Even after his decisive win among Nevada Hispanics?
This would be the ultimate troll. If Rubio was blocked from winning by the one man left more moderate than him.
He almost certainly didn't win Hispanics. That entrance poll was badly wrong.

Particularly if Hillary comes very strong out of SC, I can see Texas being very bad for Sanders. I feel like he needs to do very well in Oklahoma and other close states, otherwise the main news story from Dem Super Tuesday is likely to be a massacre in the south.

Nate Silver basically pleading with everyone to drop out of the GOP side of the race so that establishment hero Rubio can win. Desperately writing "Rubio unites the votes and Trump fades" fanfictions on a near daily basis. He knows he dug in too hard against Trump and his reputation is taking a blow if Trump manages to win. The bottom line is that he's already been clowned. Even if Rubio wins, it will only be after a desperate a brutal battle that lasts for months. And he'll win by the skin of his teeth.
In unrelated news, the NYT Upshot is basically everything the ESPN 538 and Vox should have been.

Trump (a Yankee) doing well in Southern states is insanely outstanding.
Who would have thunk that New York Values would win the South.

I'm still shocked Jeb Bush dropped out so early. I really thought he'd stay in until at least Nevada or Colorado. A guy like him would do well, since so much of the Southwest is one

What possible reason could there be for Sanders outperforming Obama by ~70 points against Clinton in WV???
white working class voters and
It probably also explains OK and maybe KY if we get a poll there. She also is hugging Obama who almost lost to a convicted felon in 2012.

That seems to neatly match with great pushes for expansion of welfare faring better after calamities. Heh. Also how greater welfare is mostly present in largely ethnically homogeneous countries.
The bolded is particularly worrisome because i'm seeing that rupture locally right now.
Iirc nate's also the guy that once remarked that Rubio was no threat to any of the other republican candidates, given his track record on immigration.

the possibility of Trump winning every Super Tuesday state is amazing, has that ever happened in a primary?

Someone should ask Enten what he thinks was so unappealing about Obama to WV voters.
Yes. e.g. HW Bush

Rubio is going to have the GOP establishment's full support over the next few weeks. I understand why they assume he will be the nominee - the idea of Trump winning still seems like fantasy. But the reality is that this is an uphill battle for Rubio and I don't believe he's a good enough candidate to pull it off.
What states can Rubio win? How many states will be even finish in second place in? I find the idea of Trump winning the nomination to be ludicrous but the dominos are in place. He won South Carolina despite blaming Bush for 911, supporting Planned Parenthood, and supporting what sounds like single payer healthcare. I don't see how anything can sink him. Especially with the media doing his bidding, allowing him to control the narrative instead of ignoring his nonsense (see: questioning Rubio's eligibility).
Obama's stance on coal probably has a lot to do with it most likely. KY and WV rely heavily on those types of jobs to survive.

That NYT Upshot model prediction during the primary was great. Nate (Silver) should've had something like that on 538.
