This could honestly explain the low turnout right here
The same can't be said for the Republicans.
This. I don't think that people aren't turning out because Hillary is a forgone conclusion, they're not turning out because whoever wins, they win. Most democrats think both candidates are actually pretty great.
This will not be a problem in the general.

I absolutely think Trump is xenophobic, but I have to say I think his courting of racists is largely political calculus. Refusing to denounce David Duke is almost comically out of touch unless he either agrees with the Klan (which I doubt, given he's a New York businessman and has a history of social liberalism on some issues) or just cynically thinks it's acceptable to make use of racists for his own ends.

How many times has she made stupid comments too though? Those now come from DNC chair.

If that happens we would probably see Cruz hold a delegate lead on him after Tuesday. Hell if Kasich wins Ohio and Rubio loses Florida, Kasich could end up nearly tied in delegates with Rubio.

Trump's dad might have been a member of the Klan:

So, throw the Presidency away by splitting the vote just to try to keep the Senate?
They will surrender the Supreme Court as well.
Christie's entire interview with George Stephanopolus has been him having to answer old video clips over disagreements with Trump ( muslim ban, social security, mexico paying for the wall). It's kind of ridiculous, Christie keeps giving the same answer, i ran against the guy, of course i disagree with him on some issues and I'll continue talking to Trump about it, etc etc. The discussion is entirely anti-trump especially after the Cruz interview basically being a summary of all the potential bombshells that could come from a Trump tax returns release.
It's thrown away anyway with a Trump nomination, so why not.
I still don't think it will happen because it would be the implosion of the party

Following on Trump's Duke comments:

He's actively playing coy regarding white supremacists in the hope he can hold on to their votes. Not that it would probably even matter, usually when his supporters are confronted with something Trump says they don't agree with they usually fall back on, "he just has to say that to get elected, we know how he really feels."

A military coup?

It's stupid because he could have just said I disavow it and moved past it. Even white supremacists know now that publicly nobody will tell them they want their vote.
Yes, PPP made the point yesterday that Clinton's voters are more committed in these southern states. I just hope she is competitive in CO, MN.

She will be. The problem for Bernie is he won't be competitive in the South at all. If she gets another 75-25 in Georgia, how does he come back from that? Or a 65-35 in TX? His margins in the Northern states will not be high enough to overcome the deficit.
simple win in CO. Run even with whites and outperform with Latinos and AA's which she did in SC and looks to be doing in TX polling.
As for MN. Same playbook as IA. MA is looking tight but is very establishment friendly.
OK? According to Kyle Kondik she beat Sanders in two Appalachian counties by 11 and 20 pts. Bodes well for her in OK on super Tuesday.

What causes Clinton's popularity among Mexican Americans? I've heard some suggest that Sanders' use of the word "revolution" hurts him with some Latino voters, but I'm not sure how that would affect Mexicans, who are by far the largest Hispanic group in this country.

Well there are no national numbers but she's up 37 against Sanders with Latinos in Texas(according to the poll above), who are largely of Mexican descent.

What the fuck from Bernie, I mean this doesn't sound good at all.

It's probably a combination of things. They know she supports immigration reform (which is of extreme importance) and they believe she is the best candidate to take on the guy who wants to throw out their family and friends. I think at least some of this recent rise of Clinton is a combination of Nevada momentum and people getting serious about Trump.
Reminds me of Trump's "how stupid are the people of iowa" regarding them polling high on Carson.
Trashing Christie for joining Team Trump is kind of pathetic when you have to pretend Cruz or Rubio would be respectable choices.
She's destroying him with Mexican voters, I'm just not sure why. Maybe it has something to do with Bush winning a majority of Hispanic votes in 2004?

I watched the clip. That's taking it out of context. They repeated the "27 bucks" line and then he said that line. In context I didn't take it as a bad line at all. It's something you'd say in any state you want to win.

Let's say Trump winning the nomination splits the Republican Party into a White Nationalist Party (headed by Trump but with LePage, Rick Scott, and others behind him) and a conservative party that mostly focuses on religion (headed by Rubio). Does Trump or Rubio get more votes in November?
Someone asked him about it the other day and he said, "OK, I disavow". It was like the equivalent of a child telling his mom he apologized for something when they weren't even listening to what she was saying.
Also, remember that Trump has the world's greatest memory...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FUZtqBaxtA

The Rubio party
Really interesting interview with Trump supporters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s97RiKv8cJQ
Don't you mean Trump's White Nationalist Party and Rubio's Economic Conservatism Party?
have you seen Trump's tax plan?
There's just no way that he religious right goes with Rubio over Trump.
