Trump is gonna be the nom unless there is a convention fight

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Hopefully Bernie gets ok and mass

They're both states he needs in order to stay competitive.

MA- Bernie 52% Clinton 46%
OK- Bernie 51% Clinton 46%

 

[Ashodin]

THE DREAM IS ALIVE

 

[mo60]

So it looks like kasich, trump and cruz(?) are the only ones that are most likely to win a state today on the republican side. Rubio has a good chance of winning Virginia but I don't think he will win it.

 

[Orthogonal]

I don't care what happens as long as Rubio doesn't win any State.

 

[Kaladin]

Is Trump going to sweep tonight?

 

[Zyae]

Five Thirty Eight project that if Clinton and Sanders were heading to a tie, that Sanders would win 5 of the 11 states tonight. Because yes, today favors Clinton.

But if he falls short of that, he's just falling further behind.

538 also said if Bernie pulls 400 delegates he is sitting well and if Clinton pulls close to 500 or more she is sitting well

 

[Ambient80]

whoa... Bernie may not be dead

We knew going in that these two states were going to be super close. Literally nothing unexpected had happened yet.

 

[plagiarize]

Right, so shouldn't we wait until he fails to win 5 tonight before we say his campaign is done, etc?

You're confusing what he needs to do today with what he's expected to win today based on polling.

But that's fluid.

 

[cpp_is_king]

VA looking like it's goign to be the only close state. Everything else is shaping up to be a clean sweep by Trump so far.

 

[A Human Becoming]

They're both states he needs in order to stay competitive.

Yeah. After that it's Colorado and Minnesota.

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

whoa... Bernie may not be dead

wow!

 

[Dictator93]

Go Bernie go!

 

[Damaniel]

Too close to call for Sanders/Hillary in MA and OK!

oh shit my PredictIt just lit up, everyone getting fired up hahaha

If they're too close to call, they're going to split the delegates either way. Splitting delegates doesn't do anything for Bernie - he needs to win them in convincing numbers, especially since Hillary's absolutely dominating him in other states.

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

MA- Bernie 52% Clinton 46%
OK- Bernie 51% Clinton 46%

God please yes.

 

[Matt_]

hmmm
trump going to announce a VP tonight?

 

[darkwing]

MA- Bernie 52% Clinton 46%
OK- Bernie 51% Clinton 46%

there's a chance

 

[metalslimer]

These dem competitive states are not winner takes all so Clinton's blowouts in the south will still give her a commanding lead even if Bernie wins a couple

 

[plagiarize]

538 also said if Bernie pulls 400 delegates he is sitting well and if Clinton pulls close to 500 or more she is sitting well

The polling doesn't have Bernie getting close to that.

He might, but that's why *expected* results aren't good for Bernie.

Don't confuse *need* with what people thought was likely. But again, you know... OK and MA still too close to call but seeming favorable to Sanders based on exit polls.

 

[Black Republican]

Deep south cant get enough of a New Yorker is amazing

 

[TheLaughingStock]

VA looking like it's goign to be the only close state. Everything else is shaping up to be a clean sweep by Trump so far.

 

[owlbeak]

The salt will be real if Bernie pulls off the four/five states he needs tonight.

Also if he loses them.

 

[Ashodin]

WOW

OK and MA FEELS THE BERN

 

[Matticers]

MA- Bernie 52% Clinton 46%
OK- Bernie 51% Clinton 46%

Aren't those just exit poll numbers?

 

[Battersea Power Station]

Major 🔑 🏎🏁⚠🚨

 

[Futureman]

MA- Bernie 52% Clinton 46%
OK- Bernie 51% Clinton 46%

Would either of these be upsets?

 

[Kud Dukan]

If they're too close to call, they're going to split the delegates either way. Splitting delegates doesn't do anything for Bernie - he needs to win them in convincing numbers, especially since Hillary's absolutely dominating him in other states.

Yep. A win is a win but still, he needs some BIG wins.

 

[Kusagari]

VA looking like it's goign to be the only close state. Everything else is shaping up to be a clean sweep by Trump so far.

Uhh what?

Exit polls just had Cruz winning Olahoma by 5%.

 

[Orthogonal]

hmmm
trump going to announce a VP tonight?

No, that doesnt happen until they win the nomination.

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

God please yes.

 

[A Human Becoming]

Trump dropped below 50% in Georgia. If it stays Cruz and Rubio get statewide delegates.

 

[danm999]

The salt will be real if Bernie pulls off the four/five states he needs tonight.

It's not about state wins it's about delegates though.

 

[Mr. RPG]

I told you guys that Bernie could do it, but no one wanted to believe me.

 

[Prodigal Son]

MA- Bernie 52% Clinton 46%
OK- Bernie 51% Clinton 46%

Shut your face..

OMG

 

[GK86]

Aren't those just exit poll numbers?

Yes, they are. Close race.

 

[Guevara]

No tiny hover hands here

 

[boiled goose]

I like how they are complaining about the order of the states that vote. I'm sure they complained with Iowa and NH being first which were super favorable to Bernie.

I do think the most fair system would be to rotate the order with some consideration for state size.

 

[Brinbe]

Even if Bernie wins MA/OK it doesn't change a thing.

 

[Pryce]

Don't get my hopes up.

 

[Paskil]

But I heard Bernie won't win any other states tonight!?

This election isn't over.

Bernie will win big tonight.

lol

 

[Zyae]

The polling doesn't have Bernie getting close to that.

He might, but that's why *expected* results aren't good for Bernie.

Don't confuse *need* with what people thought was likely. But again, you know... OK and MA still too close to call but seeming favorable to Sanders based on exit polls.

Based on what polling? Im not confusing likely or what they need. Thats what 538 said so we should actually wait until the night is over to see what marks are hit before we declare one way or another.

 

[Indicate]

I told you guys that Bernie could do it, but no one wanted to believe me.

I believed

 

[BFIB]

I cannot believe this is actually happening.......

 

[besada]

Wow, +49 was a blowout, but +80 is a mega blowout. Won't make a difference in the long run, but a blowout's a blowout.

 

[metalslimer]

Even if Bernie wins MA/OK it doesn't change a thing.

Throw Minnesota on top of that. The Texas race alone will outdo any of the delegates he would accumulate from those wins

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

Would either of these be upsets?

not upsets but necessary for Bernie to remain viable. recent polls had hillary usurping bernie in those states, so it remains to be seen if those exit polls are accurate

 

[Ashodin]

It's definitely going to show that the race isn't completely over for Bernie vs. Hillary, it's just getting warmed up.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I told you guys that Bernie could do it, but no one wanted to believe me.

Do what? Win states we thought he had a chance in?

Come on guys
