Okay, but still pretty bad, those numbers are similar to the south, and yet he should have a stronghold in NoVA and yet she is crushing him.
VA is a wierd state, its extremely conservative outside of the liberal strongholds, its just the liberal strongholds have so much of the population, but it doesn't look like its translating to Bernie support. Might be the fact that NoVA has huge connections to the Federal Government and they like how its going currently.
I don't understand the VA polling AT ALL. Like AT ALLL.

Just give the revolution a bit more time. Just a few months. Like, if the trends keep continuing, he can overtake her in delegates by October or November. It's all good.
Could the VA numbers have to do with defense contractors who vote democratic? I can't imagine they would support Bernie by huge margins. Dude has zero foreign policy credentials.

Yeah, but you don't win the nomination by how many states you win. Or winning any states at all. Or even being competitive, apparently.
The revolution will not be energized.
That's an interesting point, hadn't really thought of that angle.

Those South Carolina numbers have to feel redemptive to Hillary after getting her shit pushed in by Obama last time, and then having to apologize for Bill's shit talking.

Still they dont mean anything until the primaries are over. But I'm thinking that we will start seeing better head to head matchups from now on, as the assumed frontrunners start grabbing more and more mediashare.
I tell ya what: Trump is probably the nastiest, most reprehensible politician for whom I've ever cast a ballot.. but if those negatives hold-up to anywhere near that level, it will have been totally worthwhile.
Now excuse me, I need to go wash my voting finger again.
is it too early to say Rubio is just an awful candidate? if Trump wins the nomination, he won't even be able to get that VP spot he's been gunning for all campaign long. "lose every state" would be the most embarrassing campaign strategy since Guliani if Jeb didn't exist right alongside him.
didn't Nate say the opposite? that the "centrist" media isn't reporting about Trump's supporters enough?

Methinks that defense contractors don't give much of a shit about how much FoPo cred one has, and are more concerned with how likely one is to blow up some foreign people (which, as W. oh so recently showed, isn't linked with considerable FoPo expertise at all).

I want Trump to pick Jeb Bush as his running mate. Then we can get a few more months of Trump relentlessly bullying the dude, and Jeb will just have to suck up to him.

It's more the NoVA Democrat's are classic fiscally moderate, socially liberal Democrat's who loved Bill. Also, NoVA's a little more racially diverse than you'd think due to the federal government and such.

I mean for a reliably blue state, those are really bad numbers. They just look good in comparison to Trump's Armageddon level popularity. I do think a decent amount of her low favorables are from Sanders supporters who would come in the general.

Fair point. Makes sense.
Yup, NoVA was basically built around contractors that are connected to the Federal Government in Virgina and Maryland.

Plot twist: it's gonna get called 10 seconds before the polls close.

The gloating here Tuesday will be easier to stomach that I'm no longer volunteering or giving money to Bernie's campaign.
If it's truly over I will vote for Hillary in November even if I don't like her and think she's bought. Trying to get my mother to bite the bullet will be a task onto itself.

It's just some Bernie people trying to make something out of something that should have been handled slightly better. On the other hand, it's nice to see them take BLM out from under the bus this week.

Wisconsin isn't as blue as its reputation. Cook Partisan Voting Index has it D+2, and I think that's a pretty good way to think about the state. It leans a little towards the Democrats nationally, but only a little. It hasn't voted for a Republican presidential candidate since 1984, but since 1992 every presidential election has either been a Democratic victory or a close Republican victory, so it's not that surprising for a state that leans just a little bit towards the Democrats to nonetheless have gone Democratic in every election in that time frame. 1988 was a bit more of an unusual case but, aside from being 28 years ago, Dukakis ran relatively well in Upper Midwest.

Pretty much just Reddit using that hashtag at this point. Their concern for BLM is funny all things considered.

I give you my word I will not gloat, but I will celebrate. I've waited 8 years for this....but I know how much it sucks when the person you really want to win doesn't. So, no gloating...just a bit of celebrating. And a few drinks.
And ivy's Twitter.
A few drinks, a few gays, our queen slaying, and Ivy's twitter. What more does a man need?

He's way out in first place when it comes to endorsement points on 538. That's gotta count for something.
It doesn't.
538's model has Rubio winning VA
What, like a bj or going down on a girl? Both are awesome, so it makes no sense to me.
Jesus.

: raises hand :
I like giving oral just fine. But...I'm ambivalent about getting it.
I'm sorry, I need to know the source for this.
Correct. Had he posted the rest of the actual audio, he would have pointed out that Silver said that the NYT article about the PPP polls is showing that there is a bigger racial / white nationalist component that the media has been not understanding or comprehending, and how that white nationalist faction plays into Trump's broader plurality.
But don't let the facts get in the way of posts, ya know.

I know Trump said on Howard Stern that he didn't like anal. I didn't know about the oral thing, though.
God, this has become the weird part of the internet, hasn't it?

Black and Hispanic vote plus a lot of white suburban areas where Hillary will do well.
Watch Sanders dismiss the losses and run the risk of sounding like he's dismissing the black vote. Fun times ahead.

In 2016? I mean, Wallace is basically Trump, so I'm not sure how he'd do. But, yeah, Nixon was a political genius, so he'd find the way to knife Trump. I think Reagan might be able to make himself look like a victim due to his charisma. He might be able to pull off "I paid for this microphone" moment.
I've heard that, statistically, gay men like giving more than receiving.
In case guys didn't already know which team's more fun to bat for.
