We really are gonna diablos about crossover again huh

I already said this. Get in line.

We can't help it. There's literally nothing to do today but panic until the returns start coming in.

Which was one of the reasons Kerry lost in 2004. They had exit polls on TV/radio at like 2 PM EST that day saying Kerry was way ahead. I am confident that cost him votes later on in the day.

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

Dems doubly voting against their interest lol.

Yes, elect the guy who might have a chance against Hill, and yes, extend the primary.

It really is beyond idiotic.

Man 15.6% is no joke.

Anyway, just got back from dropping off one more vote for Glorious God-Queen Hildawg in Hamilton Country.

FUCK!!!

(But yes, I'm panicking....)

I'm pretty sure the super high independent vote was factored into late-polling. Same stuff happened in Mich. I'm thinking polls are gonna be right this time.

I hope that doesn't happen this year but I think fear of trump will be too strong to stop that.

Which is why exit polls only ever "characterize" the race nowadays. They don't say who's gonna win, just who's voting. Less revealing. They also don't release information that early in the day.

Yeah, if that 10-20% number is right, thats actually significant. This isn't interview-on-the-street stuff, its actual numbers.

 

[Y2Kev]

Maybe just maybe they are democrats who vote republican anyway

 

[NeoXChaos]

Im ready for this primary to end. We have to get ready for Trump. Come on Queen pull through. Sweep the bern tonight.

Keep in mind they might have also overcompensated after Michigan as well. We really have no idea at this point.

The Michigan Effect

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

Trump is literally a tornado that is messing everything up in this cycle.

 

[VendettaRed07]

I doubt the democrats switching over are voting for Kasich. Maybe some of them, but I'd say the majority are voting for Trump.

These are likely people who are in the "Anyone but Hillary" camp or want an anti-establishment candidate in the white house/outsider and think Trump has a better chance than Bernie because hes so far behind

 

[RastaMentality]

Didn't one of the Cohn tweets say it was people who voted in the 2012 R primary?

 

[PBY]

^From how I read his tweets, it seemed about half were back and forth R/D.

Naw dude. That makes way too much sense.

We have exit polls at 2pm?

 

[theprodigy]

Didn't we go over this, how half of these people voted R in 2012 primary so they're probably actually Republicans that switched over in 2008?

Maybe it's not worth worrying about.

[Secret Fawful]

Thank goodness. I was wrong about having not registered to vote. I registered in 2012 and forgot. Found my voter ID card. Turns out I didn't find it in the registry because they spelled my name wrong. Goddamn it.

 

[Crocodile]

I did my part and voted. Voted for the candidate I think it best qualified to run the country (none of that troll/cross-over bullshit nonsense). Down ballot votes were harder because finding good info on a lot of the candidates was kind of hard.

That's good! Who did you go for in the end?

 

[QuiteWhittle]

You mean children of the ultra-rich that attend private colleges with ultra-high tuition aren't democrats? I, for one, am shocked.

Whoa there, the students at all those private colleges are very liberal.

 

[pigeon]

I called a friend of mine in Ohio and she told me that she rounded up every single Hillary supporter in Cleveland and convinced them to vote for Trump in the primary. Also she says Florida's old Jewish constituency is going to deliver that state for Bernie Sanders.

 

[Brinbe]

WTF @ OH dems... really? And to vote Kasich? I'd figure Trump, but...

Anyway, get ready for a screwy night as usual.

Ah, another one for legal weed.

Aint no way no how that dude aint using that shirt unironically.

 

[Y2Kev]

What evidence is there that people are voting kasich? Why are people losing their minds again?

 

[Ophelion]

Whoa there, the students at all those private colleges are very liberal.

Yes, but are they real liberals?

Spoiler

/s in case that wasn't abundantly clear.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

I think it's an interesting possibility but there's as much risk in losing among less educated white men as there is reward in assuaging the concerns of the left.

Nate Cohn in response to "What about Warren as Hillary's VP?"

I like how political pundits now (probably correctly?) assume that most uneducated white men just hate everyone other than white men, lol. Warren focuses a tremendous amount on policies that would help uneducated white men, but, she has a vagina so....

 

[Macho Madness]

He won the county in a midterm election. It's just conjecture.

Down ballot candidates are always a bitch to figure out, especially in a primary. Wish the local newspapers would just put out 100-word or so primers on everyone.

[Secret Fawful]

Haven't gone yet. Waiting for my wife to get home from work and then we're going to go together and vote. I'll probably pick Sanders, but it's honestly an extremely difficult choice for me.

I'm at work so I can't watch CNN otherwise I'd do that.

I adked Nate about crossover vote in Michigan's impact

BigDumbBear2:57 PM ETInvalid Date
Nate, how much of an effect did crossover voting have in Mich that adversely affected Clinton?

Nate CohnUpshot Correspondent2:58 PM ETInvalid Date

@BigDumbBear, I really don't know how much it hurt Clinton. I think the assumption is that it hurt her, and I can see why people assume that, but there isn't very much data to back it up.

Do you have a moment to talk about our Queen? Perhaps I can sway your vote : holds out a $5 bill : I'ma just leave that right there. Maybe you pick it up. Maybe you don't Who's to say.
