How is "Polls to close in 4 more states at 8PM" breaking news, CNN?

Google is giving me the following delegate tally estimates:
Georgia (102 total): Clinton 57, Sanders 21
Virginia (95 total): Clinton 51, Sanders 26
Vermont (16 total): Sanders 10, Clinton 0

They don't have any GOP numbers yet.

Not sure how these are worked out given there's only like 1-2% reporting.

I think she fails to clear threshold in Vermont.

Bernie as a contender is done. Guess he'll ride it out and tour the country. Say hello to his small donors nationwide. That's not so bad.

Good news for Trump if those DC suburbs are already in.

Edit: Wasserman saying those votes are NOT in.

 

[Aaron Strife]

Democrats are hilariously good at fucking themselves over.

Unfortunately there are two things at play here:

1 even though Cruz and Rubio are basically as bad as Trump in policy, their rhetoric usually isn't as extreme so more people are fine with them. It's similar to how in Minnesota Michele Bachmann was a huge boogeyman for the left because she was so outwardly batshit whereas no one cared about Kline or Paulsen who has very similar views but kept their heads down.

2 people assume winning the primaries indicates popularity with a broader general electorate even though primaries are decided by only the hardcore partisans. They also don't read polls obsessively like we do or when they hear one it's usually the outliers because they draw the most attention, so a lot of people who are only casually following this stuff think Trump has a good chance at being out next president. I'd guess most people see elections as 50/50 tossups by default.

 

[neurosisxeno]

Apparently Virginia is the only state that matters on Super Tuesday. Quite the revelation.

 

[ugaboga232]

Now that clinton has essentially locked in her nomination, she better beat the republicans for all of our sakes and continue to be progressive.


Pls

If Rubio wins VA it's all my fault as i voted for Kasich. I was going to vote Trump but i chickened out because I thought of South Park and if he became president it would be partly on me and i couldn't do it.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Yup, Rubio going to win this.

 

[Aaron Strife]

Sometimes I wish I was one of those middle of the road assholes who would feel ok about say a Clinton vs. Kasich matchup going either way. But alas I have principles beyond "the middle is always correct"

Locking up that girl scout cookie vote

 

[Y2Kev]

Can you guys wait before blaming democrats for a loss that hasn't happened yet? Go to Reddit with the other crazies.

 

[neurosisxeno]

Holy shit initial results have Rubio leading in VT?

EDIT: Nevermind Trump>Kasich>Rubio

Can you guys wait before blaming democrats for a loss that hasn't happened yet? Go to Reddit with the other crazies.

Nah. It fits the narrative for this place.

 

[Brinbe]

Gap is closing in VA. Marco's catching up.

 

[User1608]

At least I have Super Tuesday.

 

[BoboBrazil]

nooo Rubio leading in Vermont

 

[Diablos]

So Rubio wins one state? Who the fuck cares?

 

[Basileus777]

nooo Rubio leading in Vermont

With like 10 votes in. Come on.

 

[BoboBrazil]

False alert, Trump now leading yeah baby!

 

[Basileus777]

Gap is closing in VA. Marco's catching up.

Trump's lead has gone up in the past few minutes to 17k votes.

 

[Dan]

Criminal Justice Reform (changing sentencing, legalizing drugs, as well as focusing more on rehabilitation) and fixing Income Inequality that pushes people towards illicit activity.

So... not really. Not when his promise would involve reducing US incarceration by some half million people and federal prisons only house 200k.

 

[Aaron Strife]

So Rubio wins one state? Who the fuck cares?

Seriously if the media washes his balls and lets him take a victory lap for winning one state I'm gonna be pissed.

Who am I kidding they will even if he loses.

 

[Cheebo]

So Rubio wins one state? Who the fuck cares?

Virginia is a big win if he pulls it off. Trump was up 13-15 in all polling.

 

[Makai]

Why are you guys freaking out this early.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

MW is cracking me up so much these days.

Edit:

It's all about Fairfax now.

 

[Cesare Borgia]

Rubio only winning VT would be amazing, solely because you know he'd use it to declare himself viable.

 

[Owzers]

Why are you guys freaking out this early.

Obama just canceled the 2016 elections, reason: too much complaining.

 

[Cheebo]

Seriously if the media washes his balls and lets him take a victory lap for winning one state I'm gonna be pissed.

They let him do that for third in Iowa. They will proclaim him the GOP savior if he wins VA.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Have the DC suburbs really come in already?

 

[Macho Madness]

Lt. Gov of Texas lmao

 

[Brinbe]

Hillary at 9% in VT hahaha

 

[cirrhosis]

Why are you guys freaking out this early.

Because it's PoliGAF. Thread is always fun to read but take reactions with salt and then some.

 

[Aaron Strife]

Next debate

"You're as viable as Bernie Sanders"

Just got home. Looks like the Queen is doing what she's gotta do.

 

[Tubie]

Virginia numbers went from like 4% reporting to 25% in a span of 3 minutes.

 

[ugaboga232]

So... not really. Not when his promise would involve reducing US incarceration by some half million people and federal prisons only house 200k.

What did you want him to do, give a fully fledged law? Drug reform would be huge along with the other stuff.

VA on some, "oh shit, we really wanna elect trump guys??S" shit

The question I have is why diablos is the voice of calm and reason

Not all drug dealers go to Federal Prison.

I think people would prefer he doesn't make unrealistic promises because it has the effect of making people cynical about the entire process and disengaging when they don't hit their marks.

 

[Cheebo]

If cross over Dems really showed up for Rubio in VA then they are more shameful than Republicans earnestly voting Trump.

What fools they are.

 

[Paskil]

Almost moar States. Fox has been pretty boring so far. Lou Dobbs was basically Lou Dobbzzzzzzzz.

Seriously excited to see the endorsements after tonight.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

It Is Closing Time.

 

[Dan]

What did you want him to do, give a fully fledged law? Drug reform would be huge along with the other stuff.

Concede that his plan was nonsense without convincing tons of states to quickly enact reforms that released mass numbers of prisoners? It was just a ridiculous thing to promise when the president and even congress have little ability to directly, let alone quickly, influence our incarceration problem.
