Wants to extend the age of SS payouts. Wants medicare voucher system.
She's not even remotely as right as Rubio on economics. It's not even close.

I'm at work, care to describe what's going on in the video?
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Bill Clinton is electioneering at a polling place while polling is going on. He visited a few and basically shut them down while he was giving a speech, people had to wait in line for hours.

I'm seeing 950 CMR 53.03(18); 54.04.22 referenced. I'm wondering if that does or doesn't apply in a primary, which is a vote for a nomination, not a vote for a position.
Given that the parties can decide how to pick their nominations... I would be surprised if this is legal as a result. But I'm trying to find more.
lol what a fail
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Caucuses are different

You don't understand, he really needs to get back into the White House. He forgot his best porn stash in the Lincoln bedroom and hadn't had the guts to tell a soul for 16 years. You can't imagine how much he's missing it. This is a man possessed.

repubs are angry in Georgia and Texas.
Texans are always angry.
I think it was a pump and dump. It spiked around 65 cents. Now it's down to 57.

To be fair he is standing behind a strip of police crime scene tape.

Did Sanders simply concede the Southern states? Why?

That just doesn't make any sense.

You'd think after 200+ years we'd be better at this.

So... it's probably a technicality, but compare:

to
You'll find those all throughout the document. Election and Primary are not interchangeable terms.
It seems to only be illegal during an *election*. Which this is not.

His campaign has no one to blame but themselves on this.
Had someone express similar sentiments to me yesterday. I'm convinced it's just because he looks young and lets Cruz / Trump do the talking.

At least 200 people in line. It's out the door now. I wonder if you saw similar things elsewhere in the state.

Either he's and his campaign are dumb or they are just trying to keep hope alive with the money they have by winning a couple of states to hang on. Losses in all states but Vermont would pretty much immediately end his campaign.

I mean, I just don't think he thought he had a way to win them.
The money tells the tale that Sanders is going to try to win the whiter states and stick in the race until late. If he can win Massachusetts, Minnesota, Colorado, then he's got a reasonable narrative to justify sticking around.

Unfortunately, his campaign has been a shit storm from the start. Though to be fair, it was pretty slim pickings for Bernie when he first decided to run. Even still, he could have done better than this.

That's a huge if. There's a reason the Clintons have been all over MA the last two days. If they win here... that'll likely be that.
Yeah, I don't think he will win them in the end. My tentative expectation is that Sanders wins only Vermont tonight, in which case I would hope he would drop out, although there's a reasonable chance he still doesn't.
Why would he dump money into states where he isn't likely to win? I'm not sure why you guys think you are campaign-running experts. He is clearly doing much better than anyone expected.
Aren't Democratic primaries proportional? Wouldn't there be merit in at least contesting those southern states for delegates?

I'd say the benchmarks are as follows:
Just Vermont: He's done.
One or two other states: He's done March 15th.
Three or four other states: He's in this until at least some time in April
John Dunbar
correct about everything
not sure how that tests works, but how can someone agree with sanders, clinton, cruz and rubio on immigration? you would think there would be some major differences there.

MA law stipulates no electioneering within 150 feet of the entrance of a polling location. Candidates or surrogates electioneering more than 150 feet away is fair game.
Non issue.
Edit -
There are a lot of extremely uninformed knee jerk reactions in the comments of that video.
If anyone's curious about electioneering laws they can reference the National Association of Secretaries of State, or contact their Secretary of State's office. http://www.nass.org/component/docman/?task=doc_download&gid=1347 Here's a list of State laws for each State.

The law specifically only mentions that this is illegal during elections. The CMR in question uses specific language for elections *or* caucuses all over it. Being specific to mention both at numerous times.
Looks like it's legal during a primary.
Lol at Bernie saying he's leading today in a 'number' of States.
I mean, he's not wrong. Even 1 is a number. (Though I'm expecting him to get two or three).

The "Bernie's campaign is awful!" thing is just bizarre to me. The guy started out as a no name protest candidate with zero party backing. To get this far is itself a damn fine achievement. An awful campaign would not have done this.
They could have done some things better, but it's been a good campaign. Not legendary, but not awful either. Even Hillary's experienced and moneyed campaign has made a few missteps.
boiled goose
good with gravy
Im a big critic of Clinton on this board but no...
Clinton is maybe center or slightly center right.
Rubio is extremely far right.
Clinton is not anti poor, she is just "pro every body" in a way that favors the rich.
Rubio is clearly anti poor and extremely pro rich.
Im not sure if you are criticizing Clinton unfairly or giving rubio too much credit
Economically and socially, Trump is less eXtreme than rubio. Rubio as a moderate is a myth by the gop establishment and media. He is hard right blatant corporate big oil lapdog sellout.
Ugh. Since Virginia let you vote in either primary i swung into the Republican side and then couldn't go through with my troll/Anti-rubio vote for Trump and ended up with Kasich. I should have went back to the table and told them i have regrets and just voted Hillary. I feel like i went to get ice cream and ended up with a bagel.
