MSNBC was showing it but then they broke in to project Hillary winning LA. They've since talked about how Hillary doesn't speak well enough to the TV audience or something who knows

So far, this is a good night for Hillary.

Louisiana called for TRUMP.
Is this a Hillary or a Trump speech?
I guess she wont eat Oreos anymore!
She's previewing her anti Trump GE speeches.

Yeah, this line of conversation reminded me of why I don't watch this network, and I tuned out.

Just because he looks exactly like the trolls from David the Gnome (who are often depicted as having their boogers going into their mouths) is no excuse for calling him a troll!
but he also talks like troll...

Clinton isn't letting Sanders get any free delegates outside Vermont while Sanders has let Clinton rack up huge delegate leads all across the south.
His strategy would make some sense if delegates were awarded winner take all, but as it is not even trying at all in an entire region is just a terrible idea.

So after all this, it turns out that Trump just has a problem in caucus states, just like on Super Tuesday and Iowa. He did fine otherwise. Thankfully for him we have Idaho and Hawaii (which he will lose) and then he won't have to worry about caucuses.

He's not even underperforming his polls. Early returns are showing 48%. He's smashing it.

He lost by pretty big margins in those caucus states though, with Maine being unexpected.So after all this, it turns out that Trump just has a problem in caucus states, just like on Super Tuesday and Iowa. He did fine otherwise.
Louisiana looks to be a big win and Kentucky just under 10 points over Cruz however, but he was expected to win there. It looks like he's over performing in Louisiana.

If it's relatively close in Kansas and +50 in Louisiana, she just banked in at least another 15 (and Maine ain't getting rid of all of that)

The utter lack of a ground game this implies bodes well for a Clinton v. Trump matchup, but I'm sure it's not going to prevent a flood of posts diablosing about Trump winning the general.

Trump is nearing 50%. I can't believe they are not calling it in LA.

He's at 40% in Kentucky, if that holds up it's not a poor performance in a 4 man race. Maine wasn't a surprise to me, the only shocker of the night was how much Cruz ran up the margins in Kansas. But then looking at the turnout, it's no wonder how it happened.
Poor organization, independents can't vote in these caucuses, and Trump supporters might just be less willing to participate in them. Super low turnout in general isn't good for him.So is the RNC rigging caucuses, or is there something else at play that makes Trump underperform in every one? Bad organization?

Peer pressure. People like Trump, but probably don't want their neighbors and friends to know they are voting for him. Also caucuses are a pain in the ass and take a long time.

Ya, I know. Bernie is only winning it by 10 points with 75% of the vote in. This should have been an easy Bernie pick-up. Best case scenario for him with that type of margin is that Hillary extends her delegate lead by anywhere from 5-10.
At this point, even if he wins Maine by 40 points, she'll net more delegates from this weekend than he did. After winning 3 out of 4 states.

He's a cheap fuck. He hasn't spent shit on organization. He holds 2 rallies in every state and moves on. It's just totally wrong in a caucus environment. These are also closed caucuses.
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
Bad organization?
No organization. Showing up, giving a speech, and flying back to new york is not a ground game.
hey tom how much of a percent is Hillary going to get in Orleans?
she's likely to win this well over 70%
I'm guessing that she'll get north of 80%. Obama is still beloved here (he won 83% of the vote here in 2012)

It makes me optimistic he completely fucks up his GOTV effort for the general.

No caucuses left that are important other than DC so that's not a good sign for Cruz moving forward.

Looks like he's focusing on Michigan by blaming Hillary for the loss of jobs in the state.If he's not campaigning in entire states and he's not supplying any support to down ticket races, do we have some idea where Sanders is focusing his spending? Just trying to better comprehend this strategy.

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
Perhaps the non-Trump vote was looking for an adult and Rubio acting like that turned people off of him and they switched to Cruz. Kasich was another choice but he's too moderate.
I called this last week. It explains the increase in Cruz and Kaisch support and Rubio's failure.
I mean, WHO is running Sanders' campaign. Could it be possible that THEY are establishment? It was an inside job all along.
Almost seems like they are bad on purpose

Yeah I mean, does Trump just not believe in traditional organization? He seems adamant that he's going to win this his way with big speeches, twitter, and improvisation. Trump avoids the grind of winning an election like a kid who doesn't want to do his homework.

Trump's going to fucking wreck in Louisiana and that's R-only though.
Oh, Montana is the most important caucus left, Cruz will win that.

He has no organization for caucuses, little has changed since Iowa. In Iowa he didn't have any district captains for instance, and I'd imagine he didn't have many in Kansas or the other caucus states.

He's spending his own money I guess. Shit's expensive.
He seems to be running a minimalist campaign designed to manipulate media coverage and get good turnout from his base. That's very risky in a swing state in the general where organisation is everything and where his antics are likely to turnout people opposing him alongside people supporting him.
Maybe Trump doesn't have the money?
He doesn't need it. He can call into CNN and get 8 minutes of coverage for free.

78% and Hillary is holding onto that margin in Nebraska. Currently at 14/10 in the delegate count. Assuming he gets the last one, he'll just have met his Cook targets.
Ugh, I'm like 3/4s right now.
