Really impressed with Benchmark this primary. Considering all the variables, they did awesome tonight.

Glad they found paying work

Yeah, they've been the real winners.

538 is a mixed bag. I like their polling and I actually like their punditry... but the two have to remain separate or they end up poisoning the other. I hope they've learned something from this whole Trump fiasco.

Wait, Nebraska is worth 0 delegates?

Wait, Nebraska is worth 0 delegates?

only their caucus results count for delegates. as for why it's this way, I don't have a clue.

Carson beating Rubio in Nebraska.

Clinton beating Sanders in a state in which he won the caucus.

 

[And_Gignac]

See this, pundits??? THIS is why people are still voting for Bernie.

Not because they're sending a message. Not because they give a shit about the Democratic platform (who the fuck ever does???)

They're still showing up to his rallies and paying their rents late to donate to him because he is hoodwinking them into thinking that he still still has a chance to not only catch up to Hillary, but pass her in pledged delegates. He's preying on ignorance at this point.

Charlatan Sanders. Sad!

that super classist discourse, smh.

 

[Iolo]

Wait, Nebraska is worth 0 delegates?

In a sense it's worth 1, since as posted earlier, the superdelegate committed to voting for the winner of the primary.

 

[Y2Kev]

By the way, since no one is reporting it, Hillary is up 61 - 39 in Nebraska.

what is this?

Carson beating Rubio in Nebraska.

Clinton beating Sanders in a state in which he won the caucus.

YAASSS This face is back!!!

The fact it went missing from GAF is illogical. It's downright Huelenical and it is back!!!

 

[Iolo]

I think it should be Huelenic. From the Greek.

Benchmark has 51-38-11 as their call. Since other didn't reach 15%, do we scale that 13% margin up, when determining delegates?

I'm the comeback queen.

 

[smurfx]

looks like somebody made a thread for the oregon poll. maybe we should make an official ot for polls.

 

[Holmes]

what is this?

Both parties are holding primaries in Nebraska today but the Democratic one is non-binding because they had a shit caucus a while back that Sanders won. Which begs the question, why would they even hold a caucus in a state that will have a primary anyway?

 

[aspiegamer]

10ish points? Huh. Legitimately surprised. And I see we're awaiting another extremely generic Sanders stump speech in which he'll talk about his momentum after his 1 consecutive win.

looks like somebody made a thread for the oregon poll. maybe we should make an official ot for polls.

That's actually ... a good idea.

 

[Wilsongt]

All of these Hillary is doomed poll threads are getting out of hand.

LOL

 

[gutter_trash]

can someone please explain Nebraska for me on the Dem side? They had a caucus in March, and they have a Primary today? I don't get it

 

[Box of Kittens]

Caucus + non-binding primary is like the stupidest combination out there.

When turnout is higher, Berni--

-- oh.

 

[Suikoguy]

If today did anything, it was to dismantle most of Bernie's arguments about voting.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Caucus + non-binding primary is like the stupidest combination out there.

It just shows how much of a Huelenical omnishambles the caucus system is.

[Trancos]

The margin is still the same 56%-43%. +13%

 

[gcubed]

so basically he only has one path, and that is to make Hillary non-viable in California... Its embarrassing at this point

 

[Iolo]

The margin is still the same 56%-43%. +13%

Should scale to 57.3-42.7 = 14.6% ?

Anyway, close enough

Can you imagine if this was flipped and Hillary won the first and Bernie won the second?

Fraud, Caucuses are the devil, fraud, establishment, DNC rigging, faud!

 

[Holmes]

Caucuses are a mistake. She would've won a primary in Colorado too.

 

[Box of Kittens]

Retroactive momentum

Time to update that map to have Hillary winning in Nebraska.

 

[Tranqueris]

Is Bernie still raising a significant amount of money at this point? I haven't heard any kind of "Bernie raised 5 million dollars in X amount of time" statements since he lost NY. I know he had around 17 million left but who knows how much he got after his shocking comeback (according to the media) in Indiana.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Nebraska was always the South

 

[dakini]

can someone please explain Nebraska for me on the Dem side? They had a caucus in March, and they have a Primary today? I don't get it

As a Nebraskan I have no idea why we hold a caucus. I caucused for Hill, then voted for her today in the primary.

 

[royalan]

"And let me be as clear as I can be, we are in this primary to WIN the Democratic nomination!"

LOL - good luck with that.

 

[aspiegamer]

Oh Bernie. Stop lying to these kids and saying you can win the nomination. Seriously, man. Not cool.

"Uphill climb!" He'll need to win California with ~80-81% at this point. Good luck with that.

Edit2: Time for more polls! Woo hoo!

As a Nebraskan I have no idea why we hold a caucus. I caucused for Hill, then voted for her today in the primary.

$$$
Edit: To clarify, because they cost almost zero. But yeah Nebraska has a bonus level of weird, sorry.

Caucuses are cheaper, but when we were already going to have a primary, it seems like a waste.

 

[Trancos]

Why is everybody on twitter so salty about a non-binding primary?
Bernie didn't lost any delegates. But the turn out thing is really irking some people the wrong way.
With just 1/3 of the prescinds in there are already more votes than the caucus votes (Nebraska actually releases turn out numbers/votes for caucuses).

 

[royalan]

Wow...Bernie is lying through his teeth right now.

‏@Nate_Cohn
The turnout in the Nebraska Democratic primary (which doesn't count) has now surpassed the caucus, with 30% of precincts reporting.


But by all means, keep rallying against superdelegates as the true undemocratic evil, Bern. :/

 

[aspiegamer]

Yeah, I clarified, sorry. There's probably some really interesting story behind it, though!

Sanders people are actually upset? Huh. Turnout down for a candidate with zero possibility of a win? Sounds like wise persons in Nebraska.

Bernie: Votes of older people shouldn't count! Wooooooo! And wtf, "and he insults ____" *MASSIVE GIRLY SCREAMING CHEERS* Seriously, wtf? You boo that shit. Don't be children. "He's a birther!" *SCREAMING CHEERS!*

[Box of Kittens]

It's like the guy who blew off every exam during the semester and keeps saying it's cool bro I'll just make a 99.7% on the final exam no fucking problem.

edit: I mean 103%, hope the professor gives bonus points

Ha! My wife just made the same analogy.

 

[gcubed]

so if 33% of sanders votes aren't actual votes for sanders, and only 9% of Hillary votes weren't actually votes for Hillary does that mean that Hillary actually won WV by 8%?

after forming a unicameral we were too drunk to do the other elections properly

 

[Wilsongt]

Can we get some salty tweets in here?

 

[FyreWulff]

At least this situation shows an exact case of primary vs caucus. Bernie won the non-private caucus, while Hillary appears to be winning the private vote primary.
