He didn't need to invest a ton of money, but every delegate counts, and he could've at least tried a little harder to get more votes down there.

I know you're saying Clinton is more liberal than Rubio, but I still can't get my head around what metrics you use to call Clinton center or center right. Cause all the *metrics*
have her as a fairly liberal Democrat.
We already talked about this. Nobody is ever going to say "yup, if we do badly next week we'll just quit."
People say all kinds of things they don't mean when their goal is to inspire the troops. Especially politicians!

Yep. *Everyone* says this. Just like Sanders won't tell you what his backup health care plan is if he can't deliver on single payer health care.
Jesus Christ, not sure how I wandered upon this link, but I can't tell if she's brainwashed or just paid off.
Seeing so many "supporters" that echo those of Kim Jong Un. Can't wait for our glorious leader to take his place next year.

In until at least April isn't ruling out a win. I'm just predicting how long the primary lasts, not suggesting Bernie couldn't win if he took 5 states today.
Sorry I don't put Bernie on a pedestal, man. When he acts like every other politician I tend to think it's because he's a politician. I understand that would challenge your image of him.

I should clarify. Only on economic policy and not regarding what is mainstream in DC but what the average American believes.
Economically she falls around the middle of Americans views. Hence center.
Polls show that issue by issue Americans are to the left of what DC actually does.
Disgusting. Most republicans are such fucking cowards.

When do you suppose this next debate would be? Before the 15th? Is there one planned? Genuine question.
I feel like even if he tried "a little harder" you'd still be here saying he "could have tried harder." What a subjective measurement. It's clearly a strategic decision on his campaigns part. If he gets these states where it's close, they'd rather have the narrative of winning a state versus fighting for a few percentage points in already-lost states.

You know we're talking about the dude who joined the establishment he hates so much just because it was the only way to be president, right?

No, I'm used to candidates with some sense who know when they're beat and duck out with grace instead of looking like a bitter old man, desperate for attention.

Again, the law specifies that it's illegal during elections. The law does not consider elections and primaries to be the same thing.

Have a read. 03-18-d is the part in question, but look at all the other places that say things must or mustn't be done in 'an election or a primary'... and then notice that it *doesn't* say that when talking about campaigning within 150 feet of a polling station, only saying 'election'.
First polls close 7 PM Eastern. Info should start rolling in after that.

There's no purpose in going after Clinton when he's going to have to help her win the general at this point. Bernie is staying in this to get his message across, he has no path to nomination unless a miracle happens tonight.

So if Billy boy did break a rule, what is the least/most that would happen? Fine?
One on March 6th and another on March 9th I believe

I agree with the sentiment that everyone says this, but it's a lot more believable when there are only two candidates left (and they're both viable in every state), otherwise the remaining candidate is virtually uncontested for the rest of the primary.
Also, just because everyone says it, it doesn't mean that SOME candidates won't follow through with it. Context is just as important as precedent.

Thank you. I haven't really looked at anything beyond today yet, since it could all essentially be over after today.
Him saying he'll do it doesn't tell us he won't. But it sure as heck doesn't tell us he will.

Also says: "Access to the polling place must be open and unobstructed and the voters may not be hindered."
Nothing will happen because it's a primary, but it's still pretty disgusting behaviour

He might, but that statement itself doesn't mean anything. Even Jeb Bush was in it until the end until the moment he announced he was suspending his campaign.
Of course Bernie says right now that he's in it until the end. What would he have to gain by telegraphing otherwise?
Sure. I mean, the question needs to take into account your personal judgment of Bernie Sanders's thought process and his goals.
My assessment has always been that Sanders ran originally to change the race, then decided he actually had a chance at winning. I believe he's smart enough to read a poll sheet and that if he decides he doesn't have a chance to win, he will drop out in order to help the Democratic candidate win.
If you have different priors about Bernie (or, I guess, about the state of the race if Bernie loses every state except Vermont today), then you'll probably come to different conclusions. Which is only reasonable.
However, I don't think "Bernie never lies and always says exactly what he means" is a particularly sensible prior to have, so if somebody is trying to analyze the issue based on that, I'm going to be pretty skeptical of their reasoning.

After the Cnn Republican townhall, ive lost all respect for him. He is a joke.
Democratic townhall. Grilling Hillary and even moreso bernie with right wing framed questions.
Then on the Republican town Hall only soft balls with no follow up. He basically was told by cruz that he didn't deserve the same rights as other Americans and not a peep from Anderson.
Im glad he grilled the dems. But shit has to be fair.
Oh, Jesus, get off your high horse..

Yes. And Boston Mayor Marty Walsh was entering polling locations as well. So, the question then becomes does Bill Clinton's mere presence in a polling location constitute as campaign materials? Clinton was thanking poll workers, and not approaching voters inside the polls.
http://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/blog/2016/03/01/bill-clinton-massachusetts-voting-laws/
From that article - "Inside the polling location, Clinton purchased a cup of coffee from a bake sale and shook hands with poll workers. When another woman asked for a photo, he said, As long as were not violating any election laws.
The campaign is cognizant of election laws.
