Cruz never had a chance on 1st ballot, he's always been hinging on getting as much as he can to get the 2nd ballot.

He'll still end up with the nomination. He's pretty much securing all delegates for a 2nd ballot.

Here's how Hillary did in NYC:
Staten Island +6
Brooklyn +20
Queens +23
Manhattan +33
Bronx +40
I really didn't expect the +20 in Brooklyn because it seemed like Bernie was pandering pretty hard there.

Maybe I'm just out of touch because last year I visited Baltimore during peak tourist season and got an upper floor room in a decent hotel for a strangely low price for seemingly no reason. For some reason that made me believe Maryland wasn't that well off if such a nice hotel had pretty low rates.
Baltimore was a nice city to visit, though. Gorgeous aquarium. I absolutely love fish and sea life, so the aquarium was like a dream, just wish it wasn't so crowded. Nice sea food restaurants as well. I finally got to try fish tacos that weren't just a fishstick on a taco shell.
All the rancor on the Democratic side has obscured things like Cruz talking about how he wants to run over Trump with a car.
Super obvious corruption and constant dehumanizing is going to make the RNC a blast
He just means that he's not great at driving stick.

On the subject of Bernie, I really think that he's going to tone down his shit and get everyone on line after he gets his ass handed to him next week.
Bernie tried the negative shit and it did nothing, but that was in NY so he's gonna give it another try in territory that's not Clinton's domain.
He'll get the message when it's clear he has been rejected by people who don't fit the perfect mold of his base, and after that he will either tone down his shit or simply drop out.
Unless he's been feeding on his own bullshit.

He says that about everyone.
I guess Brooklyn isn't all white millennials like the TV tells me.

I wonder if this is something we might see out of delegates nationwide as they become unbound if there's a contested convention. Maybe Trump can find a majority with a coalition of trump supporters and delegates that just want to represent the will of the voters.

I know a Democratic official here who told me that Jim Hood said in a fundraiser, "Last year, I took a very long time to decide if I would run again, but there won't be any question. I'll be on the ballot in 2019." He's been thinking about not running for AG again, and it's interesting that he didn't mention for what office he'd run. This was during a conversation about Hood being MS's Bel Edwards.
the really rich counties are Howard, Montgomery and Anne Arundel
The median household income for Howard in 2014 was $110,000.
Baltimore is very much in the middle.

Ah, but how did he do among Brooklynites over 50 years old? Surely they remembered Lil Bernie, that troublemaker down the street.
Yeah, we've gotten the benefit of a huge amount of federal dollars. Maryland is a great state, best schools, or near the best, and lots of jobs. Housing really is expensive here, you're right, that's the down side.
LOL I never realized that Bethesda was in Rockville until I met a tester who worked there a few years back.
Is it wrong that I'm rubbing my hands together with glee, awaiting this?

What a weirdo. The chances that this guy fucked 5 different women is next to zero.
Clinton's strength in NYC among white progressives was unexpected. She won quite a few white progressive areas that Teachout won in her 2014 primary against Cuomo. I think it just reinforces that urban whites are pretty different from rural whites, who went towards Sanders in New York last night, and we've seen this in other states - but it isn't always the case, of course.
If you guys keep posting Cruz gifs I'm gonna ask Kev to ban me.

NYC is a Wall Street area. I live here - its not a bad thing, I work in that industry. You can't villify a group that employs a fuckton of people in a concentrated area.

Bernie pretty much abandons all hope in CT I would assume?
Will really only fight in PA and RH

I think that's the idea, yeah. He's probably got little chance at CT, MD, and DE.
The chance he murdered 5 different women tho.... After that .gif? Hmmmmmmmmm

OT2 took less than two weeks. :X
It's hard to overstate just how distorted peoples' perception of Hillary has become because of the endless right wing anti-Clinton propaganda machine. Repeat a lie often enough and people will believe it, and they've been repeating this shit for decades.
And even so, she's about to become President anyway.
If someone had written this shit for television, producers would have laughed it out of the studio for being so ridiculously overdramatic.
And this OP is much, much better.

Nice, H.
Not sure which way I want PA-Sen primary to go. Sestak came pretty close last time vs. Tomney.
I actually think this is what'll happen because he'll lose Indiana but get more unpledged Pennsylavania delegates.
He's got little chance in PA as well, it's another closed primary with Hillary leading in the run up.

I'm still not sure he loses Indiana. This FEELS like a Cruz state, but I really can't tell.

Yeah, he did well in the Hispanic portion of Brooklyn too. I still can't believe he got murdered in the Bronx with them making a big deal of that first rally. Then again, Hillary has a lot of local support and knows the area so she knew where to go to get her votes.
They both seemed to do well with Asians, but I'm not sure about the actual numbers.
Tad is doing some serious spins right now.
Big time.

Pretty sure Hillary won Hispanic vote 60-40 or something like that.

My gut says it's a Trump state but my brain says it's a Cruz state. We need a poll.

Not quite mathematically impossible yet. He needs 92% of the remaining delegates going by Google's count.
Realistically, it was probably impossible for him to ever reach 1,237 on bound delegates the moment it became clear he was going to come away with 0 delegates from Florida, Ohio, and Arizona.
Yesterday's result only made it clear that if he's gonna win in a contested convention, it's going to have to come with a fairly large number of delegates voting against the side they were originally bound to, which isn't exactly a good look for the party.

She was actually predicted to do about that well in Brooklyn because the Democratic race is pretty easy to predict if you look at demographics.

I was talking about in the Hispanic vote in Brooklyn only. 60/40 overall is actually pretty good for him.
Ah, gotcha. I was thinking that the hipster population was a lot larger than it actually is.
Did y'all see Tad speaking with Andrea just now?

Okay, because of the nature of the primaries, I think most of us are highly focused on this process specifically and staking sides. But speaking more broadly, what are the most important issues for PoliGAF this election cycle? What do we actually want accomplished?

I'll rank them from most likely to least likely.
1. Cruz is a Zodiac Killer copy-cat. I wanted to put him as the actual Zodiac Killer here but realistically it's more likely he's just someone inspired by the Zodiac Killer. Maybe he met the Zodiac Killer as a teenager and he bestowed the title on him or something.
2. Cruz had an affair. He's a guy in power, I can see there maybe being someone into that.
3. Cruz is the actual Zodiac Killer. Extensive plastic surgery keeps him looking... uh, yeah.
4. Cruz had sex with 5 different women. Not even cheating on his wife, just period.

Given his stance on abortion, welfare, immigration and crime, I'd say he's been directly involved in enacting policies that have fucked millions of women.
It's the standard time when they change and circulate new bills.
