So Sanders gets CO, VT, OK and MN. Hopefully Hillary keeps fight up for the next states.

He was always going to go to the center imo.

Yes. He's way down in delegates now, and that's without counting the super delegates.
To be clear: right now it's about 400+ delegates for Hillary and 200+ delegates for Bernie. He needed to be leading Hillary in the delegate count because she has a huge advantage in superdelegates.
Basically, after Iowa it was 70% over for Bernie, with only a narrow path to the nomination if he had won Nevada. He didn't. His campaign was effectively over after the Nevada caucuses.
Same here brother. My only consolation is that Rubio looked legit shook; he knows what's up even if he won't admit it.
I actually don't mind. Trump takes a commanding lead, the establishments worst nightmare Cruz pulls into second, everyone else takes home a state as a consolation prize to keep them on the line longer. Longer the shit show keeps going the more it damages the brand.

Looks like Bernie gets 4 and Hillary gets 7, but none of the states Bernie will win won't make up of the delegates that Hillary won.

I'm sorry and I hate myself a little bit for saying it but Bernie needs to get out. Trump is a real goddamn threat and Hillary can't be running around playing games with this fucking guy forever while Trump gets to attack her. That's one of the ways Romney lost.

Rubio is below the threshold in Texas and Alabama, and teetering over it in Tennessee and Vermont.

Jake Tapper just sat him down.
I'm pretty sure this is a good night for everyone but Trump, each candidate keeps telling me they're the one.

Yeah. I feel sorry for Obama.
A racist asshole who belittled his academic record and heritage will not just be his successor but will quickly rip through each and all of his accomplishments he's ever made as president.
Right, it's cause she is a much much weaker candidate than Obama is that your reasoning?

I assume Texas-hispanics can be ideologically different to Colorado-hispanics. Like every other minority group out there.
That's probably true. I just meant with Colorado though since he's won that state.

Save the party of Lincoln and Reagan from this con artist must have been in an os update. He says it no less than 20 times per interview now.

The rural parts of Minnesota haven't been counted yet so Rubio victory may not be assured.

Cruz is probably too far behind to pull it out.
Con artist followed by a tear and a quivering voice
Over 70% of the vote is in and Rubio leads by 10. It's over.

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
So, yes, barring external events changing the race dramatically, the General Election will be Trump vs Hillary. I don't even see any unforced errors by either candidate being enough to tank their chances.

But Rubio doesn't even have a base. He lost in VA, and is tied with/behind Kasich in the Northeast. And no one is dropping out until the 15th.
He won enough to stay in the race, so he'll stay. But he has no chance at the nomination at this point. So it's an unfortunate waste of time. He's in a worse position now than Hillary was against Obama at this point in '08 if I'm remembering correctly, and people were calling her delusional then.
He should get out. Especially since Trump has said tonight that he's about to turn his attention to Hillary. But he won't.

Rubio is so hated that the governor from his own state is going to endorse Trump.
He will freely concede that he wasn't paying attention back then.

As the token Bernie supporter in this thread, my thoughts on tonight:
Bernie survived, but he needed MA to "halt" HRC's momentum. I suspect he has a chance in Michigan given his performance in Minn. tonight.
HRC did exactly what she needed to, the media is in full honeymoon mode with her now, and I suspect the onslaught of inevitability coverage will make Bernie's ability to climb harder.
Trump is the largest winner tonight. Cruz will NOT get out given he won two states instead of just Texas, Rubio seems to be picking up Minn. so he also has an excuse to stay in. If there is any truth to a one-on-one with Trump goes towards his opponent, we will never see that happen at this point.
Lastly, republican turnout is giant. I believe I saw a headline that had VA @ 1million for the Rs. The Dem establishment needs to figure out how to incite the base, otherwise I fear for the eventual candidate.

Yeah we will see. A shame the west coast votes so late into the game. Things look pretty well for Sanders there after winning Colorado and doing well in Nevada.
Sanders' delegate math is really bad right now, too. Clinton has crushed him in a number of states now and you basically have to meet blowouts with bigger blowouts. Narrow wins or moral victories will not cut it.
It won't. As a Michigander who lives in the Metro Detroit area...Clinton has this. Probably double digits.

I guess the Guardian coverage isn't updating quick enough.
Any serious implications for Rubio because of this? He can come out tonight and say he won something at least.
