Democrats! Fuck! Get your shit together, you idiots. You'll find a way to lose the easiest Presidential election in a generation, won't you?

I think he is arguing that the longer this drags out, the more annoyingly difficult Bernie or Hillary supporters are going to be to convert to go and vote for the other candidate, against Trump, and that could cost the election.
He may also be saying that nominating Bernie could also cost the election, at least...that's how I feel.

Someone said here Detroit had like 400 precincts, am I correct? We are at 641/999 reported precincts now. There are probably some precincts outside Detroit yet to report, I assume. So yeah, Detroit isnt at 0%.

Going against Trump, you're probably safest with the candidate who does well with working class whites. I don't think Trump's a threat regardless, but I would contend that Bernie has more appeal than Hillary with the few groups of voters that Trump could actually pry from the dems.
Still can't wrap my head around Bernie losing Massachusetts.
Not to mention, Bernie took a long time to attack Clinton and Democrats for voting for "disastrous trade-deals" - it ties perfectly to his message and is a big soundbite. The way he phrased the whole attack yesterday was masterful and it paid dividends in a state like Michigan.
Bernie has made lots of mistakes as a rookie and it's going to cost him the nomination.

Well, I remembered the mavs beating the heat in the finals a few years back and didn't want to over shadow that.
You're going full Diablos, man.

Err, sorry! Tonight should have been the start of the end of the primary season if the establishment (so, Clinton) had its act together. Instead we're going to drag this on even longer.
And Sanders cannot win a GE. It's impossible to reconcile that.
Yeah, sorry. This just should have been sooooo easy.

This Arabs voting for a Jewish person are really annoying in their condescension towards Arabs. And the idea they hate Jews.

Jesus, I will be shocked if Sanders wins this. Well, maybe not as shocked now as I would have been a few hours ago. What an upset! Sorry to HillaryGAF for the loss.
Maybe I should say anything yet. I don't want to jinx it.

We still ain't even remotely close to PUMA levels of attrition.
Neither can Big Poppa, fwiw. But yes, given how many advantages hillary has, this should've been ridiculously easy.

I won't believe Bernie has won until 90% of Wayne County has been counted.

75% of Wayne and 93% of Macomb is reporting. Bernie still leads by 20,000+

Well I think I've had my fun on PredictIt.
Invested about $300 for Trump but I'm cashing out at $460.
Have fun, the rest of you! Might get back in closer to the GE if my money situation is better.

75% of precincts
doesn't take into account population
When they say a % of the vote is in, they're talking about precincts. Not exact number of votes.

Thing is, there are many other counties out too, where sanders is winning big (kent county, Ann Arbor) are out too.
Yeah, I think that's important to remember -- we're not seeing exactly what precincts are out.
I still think it's a tough gap to close.
lol was about to post this.
Lol, Nate Silver the hack.

If this was the general election, i'd be suspicious of the results being legit.

Pollsters took a massive L tonight
I wouldn't bet money on it, but I can't see how Bernie loses MI at this point. Not only are the margins not there for Hillary in her key counties, but Kent County (which contains Grand Rapids) is only 44% in and is going for Bernie big time. This is going to blunt most of the gains on the margins to be found for Hillary in Wayne County.
Nice win for Bernie if so. I'm thinking he could pull this off in Ohio too. Illinois and Pennsylvania not so much.

Not on the GOP side.
To be fair, this is by precinct rather than by raw totals. Detroit is so, so much bigger than any other city in the state. I think it's the next six biggest cities in the state combined.

If Trump takes Idaho that would be the greatest. I thought that was a lock for Cruz.

Oh god no. My heart. Stop this.
And Bernie went down 1.3% in Wayne. ñsdkjgslgfldsgfd

First Idaho results (2.2% in): Trump 36.4%, Cruz 32.9%. Would be a big victory for Trump since there's a 20% cutoff with the delegates of those that fall below the cutoff going to the winner and since there's actually a decent amount of delegates from Idaho (32). Trump could get 20+ delegates from a small state in the west (edit: not a caucus)

Greenwald retweeted the tweet.
And someone in MSNBC said it was the story of the night because it could "only happen in America"
I can't say anything for Michigan and how they handle their elections, but if people think this is over because of precinct percentage you aren't looking at it right (hint precincts are not based on population). Here in Washington state for instance you could 10% swings with 85% precincts reporting all because the only county that hadn't showed up yet in a large capacity was king county, where like 1/3rd of the entire state population is at. Its closer then I was expecting to be and maybe Bernie might win, but if the larger population centers still aren't completely in yet you can't know for a fact how the percentages will end up, they could shrink, get larger, but if that large of a change in large population is still out its not over yet.
