I just want to say that Glenn Grothman is just awful. Having had the displeasure of being around him during the debate on Walker's public-sector union law, I really can't stand the man on both a political and a personal level.

Gotta have the narrative that he is still in the race. When, in actuality a loss in New York now means he goes from a very very slim chance, to no chance at all.
Edit: To further add to this, a significant win tonight would have given him some more breathing room. That did not happen.
Idk and idc I would volunteer for Kamala Harris 4 pres so badly.
New York journalists want their state to be competitive so badly but it'll be blowouts on both sides.

Is Kamala liberal? Shouldn't she be the Bernie? I love her so much tho and she's half jamaican!
Kamala is supposedly a bad person! Same with Amy Klobuchar! None of you fools listen to me!! No one likes them!!
Like me, she's establishment garbage

More to the point all the polls from SEPTEMBER on showed a single digit race.
Pulling numbers out of his ass.
On 538, the last poll that had Clinton up +9 was in November and the last poll having her up +12 was in September. Bernie did a great job tonight and I'm sure NY will tighten, but the hyperbole in his tweet is crazy.

I think all these up and comers basically ensure there won't be a white male democratic nominee for a while. Booker/Duckworth/Gillibrand/Harris/Klobuchar (I'm probably missing others).
What? I have been to America many times, and I have many relatives who live there. I live literally 1 hour from the border. Sometimes I feel like I may even know more about America than Americans. And judging by the people who vote for Trump and Cruz, I may be right.
Ok. I apologize.
I'm just super touchy on this one because of everything that has happened since 9/11 and the disproportionate impact. I know this is Hillary-GAF to a large extent and there's a lot of cherry-picking / confirmation bias, but voting age post 9/11 is something that is pretty shitty to bring up, IMO.
After Booker's fucking idiocy when it came to education - that would get him slaughtered in a post Core-Curriculum election. NJ basically decided to act like incompetent fools when it came to trying to make education better.
EDIT: People not knowing what the hell they're doing w/r/t education is a super sensitive spot to the South Asian here. Booker super fails that test.
Trump did really well in western and northern Wisconsin... but he got blown out in the south and the east. I wonder if this is indicative at all of how Indiana will vote or if it'll be similar to its Michigan, Illinois and Kentucky neighbours (not counting Ohio because Kasich).

I really don't know why I continue to DVR The Daily Show.
Cuz compared to the first year of Stewart, Noah is really damn good?
...???
People voting for Trump and Cruz doesn't mean, or even imply, that you "know more about America than Americans." It means you're more liberal than a lot of Americans, which really means not a damn thing when it comes to understanding the American political system and why things are the way they are.
No, I mean like they way they respond to questions and talk about America. Like when they talk about the GOP not being racist, they bring up Abe Lincoln, when we all know how the parties have changed.

Thought the same thing about Colbert tonight, unfortunately.

Because Trevor Noah is hot?

Roger Stone is literally threatening delegates now
"Were going to have protests, demonstrations. We will disclose the hotels and the room numbers of those delegates who are directly involved in the steal," Stone said Monday in an interview with Stefan Molyneux on Freedomain Radio, as he lamented the Establishment's twisted plot to prevent America from becoming great again. Specifically, Stone threatened to direct angry Trump supporters to the room of any delegate pledged to Trump who decides to change his or her vote after the first ballot.

People need to stop whining about others not turning up in Non-Prez elections and actually do something about it. What? I'm not sure, but all the time spent complaining about people not caring about the thing your environment crafted you to care deeply about could be used to think of something.
I gave money to Kloppenburg, so please don't tell me that I'm just whining and not "actually doing something about it." Thanks!!

It would help if some of the dem voters actually, you know, voted for the right candidate.

I'm still irrationally angry that she beat Steve Cooley and became Attorney General. I never got the hype behind the person. I never liked Cooley either, so I guess I'm just an ass.

Never saw the first year of Stewart. Noah is kinda bland, but I like most of the correspondents. I actually liked the show when he first started.
I wasn't feeling the first couple of episodes, so I just stopped watching during the first week.
No?
I wonder what's gonna happen on this finale of The People vs OJ.
It's generally accepted at this point that you're a super swell fella.

Nah nah it's fine. Most Trump supporters are fine and most of the protests are peaceful. Trust me friend, I got a friend whose cousin went to one and the only pepper sprayed one protester. But seriously though, anyone remember that time John Stewart got Bill O'Reily to compare the crazy party of the conservative base to radical terrorist groups?

I mean short of making online voting a real thing there really isn't much you can do besides tell people you know to go vote which aim sure most of us here do. In order to institute legislative change to make it easier for people to vote we need to get more state dems elected. It's a hard cycle.

Cooley said he would've defended Prop 8 in court. Why would you want this?

A lot of us do. A lot of us donate what we can, and if we can't send a ton of money we phone bank, GOTV and generally work to elect Democrats.

I don't, I just really hate her irrationally. I don't even know why. She seems like a perfectly nice person.

Honestly, this has been a concern of mine about a contested convention. Given Trump's base of support and Republicans openly talking about trying to steal the nomination from him it could be a very ugly scene.
And that's wonderful stuff, for sure. I know most of it is just frustration in knowing that elections could swing your preferred direction if more people showed up to vote, but you have to agree that it's often presented in a very condescending fashion. Employers will give some leeway on election day, but people aren't going to beg for free time in a primary/caucus/spring/election unless their political motivations are above average.
Edit: And, anecdotally obviously, but most of my friends in my neighborhood shared some version of "I voted; Go Bernie/Kloppenburg/Larson." I imagine this one is on the suburbs/exurbs.
What does that even mean?

I honestly don't like the implication of that.
Don't go negative for fucks sake. Just win New York. Get a near sweep on the 26th. End it.

She is going to hammer the fuck out of his lack of specifics. The quoting of that entire interview tells the upcoming tale.
Her knowledge of policy is one of her greatest assets, and one of his greatest weaknesses.
The advantage of going that route is it only alienates his delusional supporters. It's substantive, and not as much an attack on character either.
Hilarious if true. Would love to see the reaction if this actually happened.
Which would probably work, as that's one of my biggest problems as a Bernie supporter (he couldn't have paid some ultra-leftist professor to come up with this shit yet?), but "disqualify" seems to indicate technicalities of some sort.
