People are less willing to spend money when it's their own, instead of donor money.

Rubio down to 17.6% on the SOS site. Mess!
He might be trying to get enough delegates to influence party platform at the convention in Philly but honestly he's wasting his donors' money.

If people want to pay for that message, I say let them. I do think it's a weird balance thing though where the campaign may be taking money for a losing cause (and they know it) but they keep going anyway. It hits me in the morals somewhere but I can't figure out exactly where.

Rubio down to 6 cents on PredictIt.
I think for the first time he is now below Kasich.

Kentucky is honestly so annoying right now because half of coal country (Trump's best region) is in and about half of western Kentucky and two thirds of the Cincinnati burbs (Cruz's best areas) are in but nothing in Lexington, Louisville so it's hard to predict where this will end up.
Sad!

Man, some people were being super fucking rude to Howard Dean today on Twitter. You want to get rid of superdelegates? Fine. Ask for that change. Don't harass superdelegates for being superdelegates. That's dumb.
Has super delegates ever done anything? Have they legit swerved ?

If people don't like superdelegates that's fine, but I hate the narrative being pushed by some that they're stealing this election. You know, because of that whole "it has no basis in reality" thing.

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
Typically not needed. It's kinda a fail safe, one of which Republican probably wish they had right now, lol.
The Supers changed from Hillary to Obama in the 2008 Primary after Obama started winning the majority of the races.
Superdelegates are like the greatest slight of hand for Bernie supporters. I think the logic is something like this:
1) Superdelegates are undemocratic.
2) Hillary has a lead in superdelegates.
3) Therefore you should ignore Hillary's superdelegates lead.
4) Actually, you should also ignore pledged delegateswhile you're at it
5) #FeelTheBern

Refreshing this SOS site is amazing. Rubio's down to 14.5. Hillary keeping 50 point lead. Trump's lead lowering closer to 10 points.

They are completely ignoring that Clinton has a bigger pledged delegate lead now than Obama ever had in 2008

Rubio must be especially angry about Kasich being in the race still. Kasich took a delegate in Maine and is likely contributing to his inability to reach the threshold in Louisiana. When you're losing every delegate matters.
Trump's lead in Kentucky has shrunk to 6%.

How long until Bernie Reddit melts down because they have Bernie loaded as "other" in the NYT Kansas results.

Of course they are. Why would you talk about something reality-based that will make your listeners sad, when you can instead wipe them into a frenzy with a disingenuous misdirection?
It just changed to 68-32 on NYT when I refreshed.

Cruz's votes grow in the Election Day numbers and Trump's fall (only 9 points ahead). Rubio's shitting the bed in them (13.5%). Really interesting.
Whoever decided that everything should be proportional and created Superdelagates needs to be thanked several times over.
Goddamn, Winner-Take-All is biting the GOP in the ass.
nor the voters... don't let the people steal what's rightfully yours. especially not the black voters in red states

Same. Even a bigger margin than New Hampshire.
Curious as to what the odds are for the GOP to change all states to be proportional just in case something like Trump happens again.

People thinking maybe networks called it too early in the trump forecast for Louisiana.

Kasich being within 6 points of Rubio in LA is pretty shocking. I wonder if Rubio really is damaged goods.
They'll go to a superdelegate system is my bet.
Correct... even a bigger margin than half of Hillary's 50 point margin in several Southern states. He's got this now.

Romney's message was heard! Rubio's voters are swinging to Cruz.
