This was a different age, but in the lead-up to Wisconsin, I think I got at least 20 text messages from various numbers. I responded to most by telling them I was a Trump supporter.

Edit: whoops, double

The nomination is won by adding up pledged delegates and superdelegates. Clinton has a large lead in pledged delegates, and an even larger lead in superdelegates. You could rely entirely on one or the other, or change the weights between them in any fashion, and Clinton would still win. Sanders simply refuses to accept the combination of the two, instead changing subjects from one to the other. Ask him about the pledged delegates, and he brings up the superdelegates. Ask about the superdelegates, and he changes to the pledged delegates. It’s an infinite loop of bullshit.

YAAAAAS SAAAAASE

People need to chill about tomorrow. I posted the poll earlier in the thread that shows Shillary is not winning Joisey. Y'all need to pay better attention.

http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2016/06/poll_are_you_backing_hillary_clinton_or_bernie_san.html

In the time since I posted it, it has more than doubled in participants and she only closed the gap by 1%. The fact that she only closed the gap by 1% is extremely telling as well, since it's known that Hillary is part of the establishment and 1%. Follow the money.

The writing has been on the wall for a while now... One would think they would have learned their lesson after the last election.

Well, maybe they'll learn it this time. Of course, if they aren't going to be exclusionary and pro-white, what is their platform? I think either way, they're on the path to irrelevancy. It's just a question of when.

Scott Adams occasionally jokes that Bill Clinton is trying to sabotage Hillary so he doesn't get outshone by her - after 2008 and so far in 2016, I wonder if he knows something others don't. Bill is a terrible surrogate.

EMERYVILLE, Calif. — Sen. Bernie Sanders plans to take stock of his presidential campaign at his home in Burlington, Vt., following Tuesday’s primary here and in five other states.

“Let’s assess where we are after tomorrow before we make statements based on speculation,” the Vermont senator said Monday at a news conference here, when asked whether he is willing to endorse rival Hillary Clinton in the coming weeks.

“We’ll be in L.A. tomorrow night and we’ll be taking a plane back to Burlington,” he added, when asked for further specifics on his schedule.

Oh, I just remembered something from the Hillary rally yesterday. When Doris Matsui was introducing her, someone yelled "HE'S AN ASSHOLE" (about Trump) and Hillary gave him a thumbs up. What a queen.

He has no discipline in his personal or professional life and is incredibly bitter in the face of opposition/adversity. Bernie is finished tomorrow and I'd prefer he be the only one in the race who sounds like a sore loser.

Trump wants his cronies to increase racist attacks on Trump U judge because he's a white nationalist.

When former Arizona Governor Jan Brewer interrupted the discussion to inform Trump that his own campaign had asked surrogates to stop talking about the lawsuit, Trump repeatedly demanded to know who sent the memo, and immediately overruled his staff.

"Take that order and throw it the hell out," Trump said.

Told the memo was sent by Erica Freeman, a staffer who circulates information to surrogates, Trump said he didn't know her. He openly questioned how the campaign could defend itself if supporters weren't allowed to talk.

"Are there any other stupid letters that were sent to you folks?" Trump said. "That's one of the reasons I want to have this call, because you guys are getting sometimes stupid information from people that aren't so smart."

I am not sure I'll ever fully forgive him for what he said about Obama in 2008 to Reid, or for trying to convince Hillary to go full scorched earth on Obama after Obama had the nomination locked up. (Basically, go for the "super delegates or bust" strategy and go full scorched earth on Obama).

It's why the Bernie thing is so "meh" to me - folks don't realize how close in 2008 HRC was to going full blown burn Obama to the ground after she lost the nomination. If you had 2016 type social media and reporting - you could swap Bernie's name now with Hillary's name in 2008.

Sadly I expect all of them especially Frank and H.A. Goodman to start talking about her getting indicted the instant she wins even if Bernie gives her his support in the next few weeks or so.

I really enjoy the fact that if you go back through this thread, page by page, there are numerous mentions or use of the word fraud on each page. I also now associate that word with the Peewee's Playhouse Word of the Day scream. Thanks, PoliGAF.

The hilarious part is THE GOP KNOWS THIS!!!
http://goproject.gop.com/rnc_growth_opportunity_book_2013.pdf

The nation’s demographic changes add to the urgency of recognizing how precarious our position
has become.

America is changing demographically, and unless Republicans are able to grow our appeal the way
GOP governors have done, the changes tilt the playing field even more in the Democratic direction.
In 1980, exit polls tell us that the electorate was 88 percent white. In 2012, it was 72 percent white.
Hispanics made up 7 percent of the electorate in 2000, 8 percent in 2004, 9 percent in 2008 and
10 percent in 2012. According to the Pew Hispanic Center, in 2050, whites will be 47 percent
of the country while Hispanics will grow to 29 percent and Asians to 9 percent.
If we want ethnic minority voters to support Republicans, we have to engage them and show
our sincerity.

Younger voters are increasingly put off by the GOP. A post-election survey of voters ages 18-29
in the battleground states of Virginia, Ohio, Florida, and Colorado found that Republicans have
an almost 1:2 favorable/unfavorable rating. Democrats have an almost 2:1 favorable rating.3
For the GOP to appeal to younger voters, we do not have to agree on every issue, but we do need
to make sure young people do not see the Party as totally intolerant of alternative points of view.
Already, there is a generational difference within the conservative movement about issues involving
the treatment and the rights of gays — and for many younger voters, these issues are a gateway
into whether the Party is a place they want to be.
If our Party is not welcoming and inclusive, young people and increasingly other voters will continue
to tune us out. The Party should be proud of its conservative principles, but just because someone
disagrees with us on 20 percent of the issues, that does not mean we cannot come together on the
rest of the issues where we do agree.

Straight from Reince Preibus and the RNC three years ago. Fucking hilarious how dumb they are. That autopsy becomes more and more hilarious the more Trump doubles down on racism and ignorance. Enjoy riding that old white male train to eventual electoral oblivion.
