I presuming he said that welfare line to a black caller?
 

Plinko

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I'm thinking he could do well next week, maybe win a state or two as he outperforms polls (Minnesota?). Then obviously he can win Florida if these blows keep landing and Cruz flops. I figure the ceiling here is 40c, but that's doubling your money.

Polli last week had him down by at least 15. He is very unpopular in the state.

If Clinton wins MA,

wrap

it

up

That's all I would say. If he wins it, he can continue however long he wants. But if he loses MA, drop out.

has calmed down a bit.
Wow, on the attack now, stay classy Bernie. And he is so proud that his supporters here could finish his sentences, seems to me like that signals how much of a one issue candidate he really is.

CNN went to commercial, because they don't want to give air time to Bernie's transcripts attack or because this speech is boring tv?

WHAT IS HE DOING?

HE'S COMPLETELY IGNORING SC AND GIVING A SPEECH TO AN ALL WHITE CROWD IN A HUGELY WHITE STATE ABOUT HOW CLEVER THEY ARE.

Did he really do that? Wow

Yeah that was a bad moment. I don't think he meant it that way but it implies: You're all smart, so you'll vote for me I know. That state I just lost today? They're not smart so they didn't vote for me, clearly. Then add in "I'm looking at you, you're a smart crowd" to an all white, young, college educated crowd. Not good.
 

His speech tonight?

It wasn't a concession speech. He never mentioned SC. He talked to a room of all white people and literally said how smart they all were and he knows they'll vote for him.

He never mentioned losing at all. He never mentioned SC. Just that he's proven he can win everywhere.....provided everywhere is NH.

No not at all but fuck try not to make it look like you've given up on the non white vote.

Yeah I'm turning it off it's just the same stump speech I've seen many times. I assume if he says anything new I'll see it here or elsewhere.

I'm actually super invested in the Minnesota race even though I'm not living there now. I'd love the state to break for Hillary, but I can see Bernie taking it
 
Honestly, Bernie had me, but his inability to run a primary campaign turned me off to the possibility he could pull off a win in the general. I don't think it's even that he's a socialist that would sink him. It's that he's not politically agile, doesn't have an innate sense of how to manipulate the process to his advantage.

Bernie's message got him a LONG way, but the people running his campaign were always going to come back to bite him

Simply running as a democratic socialist was the first clue he didn't know what he was doing. Run as a "New Deal Democrat" or "from the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party" and you have the same policies.

Cerium's PredictIt Tips:

I own 166 shares of Hillary in Maine which I bought at rock bottom prices. I could sell at a marginal profit right now but I'm holding because I believe there is a non-zero chance that Sanders drops out after Super Tuesday. Even if he doesn't the price is sure to increase in the likely case of a Hillary blowout across the board.

If I win that bet I will have more than 500% profit.

A low risk investment with potentially huge upside.
 
The problem is that he spent millions and millions in South Carolina to lose THAT badly. Weaver and Devine are the shits. I'd say he should replace them but I don't think he's coming back from this.
