Support NeoGAF

[shinra-bansho]

Turnout is estimated at about 363K votes, to the 532K in 2008.

Ignoring that Edwards was there too;

Based on exit poll figures, black turnout is down by about 70K votes. I could chalk this up to having the potentially first black president.

White turnout is down by about 100K votes. Sadly, I would also chalk this up up to having the potentially first black president. And I imagine a lot of these people voted in the Republican primary last week instead.

Youth turnout is down by about 20K votes.

 

[teiresias]

Husband listening to TYT. Cenk seems to have said that Sanders pushed Clinton to come out in favor of same-sex marriage in 2013.

Freaking delusional. In a just world they'd lose every viewer they ever had and he'd crawl into the hole from which he came. Then again, I wouldn't be able to see how he pivots during the general election or if that happened at all.

Youth turnout is down by about 20K votes.

That's what you get for basing your "revolution" around that demographic. At least wait until these people are in their thirties.

 

[FiggyCal]

I'm hoping the low turnout is just because people are okay with Hillary's coronation and there's no other legitimate candidate running. Because otherwise, I think it could be a bad sign for the general election. The republicans are killing it right now.

 

[Hobbestetrician]

Me as well. I know many of HillaryGAF were with her in 2008, but not me. I'm an Obama guy, and would LOVE to vote for him again. Since I can't, and it's obvious he prefers Hillary as his successor, #ImWithHer

This is exactly me, too.

Fear of Trump will bring people out. Or else they deserve him.

I'm really happy about this result, obviously. But I think it tells us a few things.

The Obama coalition has decided that Hillary is the heir apparent. Hillary also has a strangle hold on women and older voters. This was also the first test of her ground game as it would be in a national election. This was the first primary she had a chance of winning, and shit worked out well. She knows how and where to target her supporters and can turn them out. The early voting numbers give me life, because that's the sign of a great game. Gives me hope for the general.

Ignoring that Edwards was there too;

On the other hand in '04 turnout was roughly 290K. We just have to accept that '08 was the most intense primary in modern political history. It will take several very special candidates to draw that level of interest again.

This is actually hilarious.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

I just can't wait until the infighting stops. I'm ready to not have people throwing stuff at me like I'm against everything they are for. I'm ready for us to stump the trump.

Same same same

 

[User 463088]

All ya'll who weren't with Hillary in 2008....shame.

But you're right with Jesus now, so all is forgiven.

I actually derive a lot of pleasure and laughs from Breitbart and /r/The_Donald these days.

Obama has never given me reason to regret my support for him then.

I would vote for Bams again in a heartbeat, but my heart truly belongs to Hilldawg.

 

[FiggyCal]

Well I just went all in on one market without looking at polling. :/ smh I was so sure until I looked shit up.

Only 10 bucks though. I'll update if things go well. And if not; I'll keep it to myself from now on.

 

[gcubed]

Yup, didn't want Hillary last time, and still not too impressed with her campaign earlier, but the last 2 weeks she has really hit her stride

There must be a reason why everyone on MSNBC hated him when he was a substitute anchor...

Could this be more like a incumbent primary? Or it could be that 2008 was one of a kind.

 

[SmokeMaxX]

Surprising that there's not a lot of info on the Colorado Caucus that's on Super Tuesday. I mean even less info than we had on Nevada.

Trump is seriously the 4chan candidate. It's hilarious. And sad. Very, very overwhelmingly sad.

Cenk Uygur says if Bernie wins CO, MA, MN, and VT on Super Tuesday, he's the favorite...

It still amazes me that Bernie Sanders is literally running to the right of Donald Trump on Planned Parenthood.

 

[User 463088]

Same. I love President Obama. I don't regret my vote for him at all. He's been transformational, and I have nothing but respect for him.

I regret being bitter for a while and not immediately jumping on the bandwagon. I got right with Jesus after a few weeks. Had my epiphany, and all was good.

 

[FiggyCal]

I remember my very conservative dad was a huge fan of Trump when he'd call in on Fox and Friends back in the day and I'd try to tell him that Trump was a complete idiot. Now my dad's saying he'll sit this election out or vote for Bloomberg.

That's not true at all. Bernie doesn't want to take funding away from planned parenthood, like Trump does.

Is Bloomberg really a possibility? When I first heard about it, I thought it was just for the attention. I just don't see him getting the funding away from Hillary supporters to make a run and he would just end up losing.

 

[BalishChannel]

#AlwaysTrump is still trending on Twitter at number 1 which is awesome to see. I wonder why the media refuses to talk about this but they were so quick to jump on #NeverJump shortly after that was trending.

 

[Holmes]

Literally I'm ready to make an avatar bet over Clinton winning Colorado on Tuesday.

I'm pretty sure he only intended to jump in if it was Trump v Sanders.

 

[gcubed]

Yes, he will have no intentions of running anymore since Hillary has the nom

 

[Captain Pants]

All ya'll who weren't with Hillary in 2008....shame.

But you're right with Jesus now, so all is forgiven.

I think she needed to lose 2008 to become the person I support today. Maybe I shouldn't cling to Game Change, but it confirmed a lot of what I thought of her campaign. It seemed ugly and disorganized to me. To this day, I'm not in love with her as a campaigner, but goddamn if I don't love the idea of her as President. She's tough and smart, and everything that's happened between 2008 and now shows that. She won me during the Benghazi hearings. I don't think she deserved it back then.

 

[FiggyCal]

You're right. I'm pretty sure I remember that he liked Hillary from somewhere.

Hes literally doing his campaigning via free media/social media/facebook. I saw earlier that he was posting his policy plans on twitter with videos. And the funny thing is if you go to his website and hover over "positions" he only lists 5.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Yes, I think 2008 was ultimately anomalous. You had the potential first female and first black Presidential nominee; either way it was going to be momentous.

This year's GOP turnouts are probably anomalous too, but for horrific rather than historic reasons.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Salt Lake City is kinda rioting over a cop shooting a teenager. No details about how the shooting went, but the response has been strong.

2008 did make her way better. I see it when she speaks. I see it when she interacts with people. I notcie when she doesn't run from the fact that she'll be the 1st female President..

I just...I wanted her to win so badly. I'll take it 8 years later, but man I wanted it bad back then. Was super personal for me, but I'm all happy now.

I did that once or twice starting out. You get better at it.

I should have touched on more than just her loss turning her into a better politician. I think her time as Secretary of State, and as a senator and as a First Lady makes her more qualified than any candidate I can think of in history. She knows this shit like no one else.

Also I'm burning these brussel sprouts and fucking up dinner.

Totally not the direction I thought they would go with Rubio and hot dogs.

[VendettaRed07]

The Clinton campaign making it known that Bernie wanted Obama primaried probably killed him.

Yeah. This is a bigger deal than A lot of people think

I was talking to a Bernie fan friend of mine, and we had a debate and he was saying how Bernie did more than just March with MLK, he pushed hard for Jessie Jackson to run for president and be the first black president in 1988 etc

And I just said "well I wonder if Jackson won, who Bernie would have called to primary challenge him in 92''

 

[Paskil]

I woke up about 40 minutes ago from a long alcohol nap started about an hour before the polls closed. Still catching up on PoliGAF, but needed to post.

HOLY SHIT!

I was expecting something in the 60 range for Hillary, but not this. I saw that in Sanders' speech, he mentioned that this was just starting and Super Tuesday is coming up. Sanders, nooooooooooooooooooooooo. Super Tuesday probably going to be much worse for you. At this point, it is almost impossible for Sanders to come back, except if Hillary gets arrested (lol). Even then, there's precedent in Eugene Debs and she might still eke out the win, given her momentum.

All I know is she better be prepared to constantly bring up the things he has said, over and over. He is going to say anything that comes to mind and make himself look like the better debater because of it.

She previewed a bit of her playbook tonight in her victory speech. "We don't need to make American great again, it's always been great", "we don't need to be building a wall, we need to be breaking down barriers".

I had a six pack of Pineapple Smirnoff.

And home made chicken wings.

And a few shots before the polls closed to settle me down. Feeling pretty good.
