It's a caucus. You can apparently vote online though.
Trump is hugely unpopular in the state. If Cruz doesn't break the 50% mark, I'll be surprised.

But we need to nominate Bernie because enthusiasm.
Nice one
She doesn't need to. Sanders' campaign spending that much at this point is like starting to take performance enhancing drugs halfway through the final of the 100 metres.

What's the delegate count for the states that are voting today?

If these were primaries, I would agree. But Caucus states? She is doing what she should, rallying her caucus folks/union leaders etc

Washington gets thrown into the spotlight, as I think it will be Sanders Largest delegate win, statement win.

Nothing like winning an extremely white/liberal state as a statement win

And the response will be "eh we expected him to win and he's still way behind see you in New York"
Well.. that, American public/media will have its mind elsewhere..

Lol, that tells she is going to win.
Bernie outspend her during the last Super Tuesday and he got destroyed, doubt it'll happen here, but it tells that spending on Ads does not always have a guarantee effect.
Wisconsin and Wyoming come before New York but yeah "see you in New York"
Depends on how long the ramp-up would be. Could still be quite long. Also, there's a good chance of there being one or more run-offs. Those could be spaced out.
I have faith that the Asian vote is secretly in Hillary's pocket and Washington state will be delivered.
I have no such faith. Freakin' white people!

I live in Utah and its going Cruz hardcore. Its all I hear from everyone. I know its anecdotal but its hard to ignore when EVERY single person I know and run into is voting for Ted Cruz.

The idea of a national primary day is interesting because you're essentially just asking for the candidates to ignore all the states except the big delegate prizes since those will be the difference makers. That goes against what a primary is. It's supposed to be more up close and personal.
But then again if you're a candidate who just ignores large swaths of the country because it's not typically friendly to you, then what difference does it make.

That's pretty smart. She's totally going to lose, but it'd be pretty funny if she won.

very true lol, but I think that will be the narrative, at least from the media

Yes. He is not out of this until he's technically fully mathematically eliminated (and even then he'll just say the superdelegates can switch) or until he runs out of money. Devine has the gravy train in overdrive.

We do have sizeable, hispanic/asian populations, but I think Washington is 90% White.
If he lost Washington that would be it. He'd have to fold.
Would he though? I dunno, but everyone would stop paying any attention to him.

Yeah..Washington and to a lesser extant, Oregon Are States Sanders should destroy in, Mostly White, younger demos.

At worst she losses around 5-15% in Washington at best it is a tie ,or with her edging a win, but since it would be a tie basically to everyone else it won't deter him much.
The best she can do is tie with the white vote and have a huge lead with minorities.

A tie in Washington would be brutal for Bernie, he's expected to blow her out of the water in the pacific northwest.

No. He's going to destroy her like in Minnesota, Colorado, and Maine.

If you're expecting Sanders to drop before the end, you're gonna end up being disappointed.

Really? I think Washington is a state that Sanders will win 60-40. The lack of a minority population is going to hurt.

I take it Trump questioning Mitt Romney's faith didn't play very well lol. Dude is just a sniping troll. He'd be banned instantly on neogaf.
If my FB feed indicates anything, basically every (young) asian person in Washington I know went to the Bernie rally. I get the feeling the Puget Sound Asian vote is probably Sanders over Clinton (makes some sense I suppose - seeing as many of us have parents who have seen poverty and wealth disparities that put the US to shame).
Curious to see how Olympia / Spokane / non Puget Sound turns out.
EDIT:
LOL. Clinton taking Rubio talking points as dog-whistles? Strange ass bedfellows this election.

Honestly that is a Win for Clinton
I will say, that compared to some other states, Washington is a strong Union state, so if she was able to rally the unions, she could cut into that.

The popularity of the Seattle Sounders alone is enough of an indication how Washington is a young, white, liberal godless hipster state and Bernie will crush it.
Voting online works if you're voting GOP, I guess the democrats here decided not to... Looks like I have to burn an hour of my time caucusing for Hillary. God dammit.
Edit: and Fuck Ted Cruz. I loathe that slimy bastard. I wish he'd slither away for good.

Just got an email from the Sanders campaign trumpeting the Democrats Abroad results by saying Bernie netted more delegates than Hillary did from her wins in Massachusetts, Illinois and Missouri combined!
Now how about Florida, Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana etc.?
Plus Hillary didn't net any delegates from Illinois so it feels like cheating to include it... Oh well at least he acknowledged the fact that she won some Northern states.
60-40 in Washington is about what both candidates need to maintain their position, which means Hillary can afford to do a little worse while Bernie needs to do much better.

Yes, and the dinky states up front gives virtual unknowns like Bill Clinton a chance to be president.
haha, what does our soccer team have to do with anything?
