Rubio has to be embarrassed right now.

Not because he's losing to Trump.

Because he's number 3 in half of the states right now.

#3 in Vermont, #3 in Tennessee, #3 in Massachusetts, #3 in Texas...

 

[balladofwindfishes]

81% in for Virginia, including swaths of the northern counties, and Trump is still way ahead.

I'm surprise they haven't called it yet, Rubio basically has no counties left that can make up the difference.

lol Rubio, just keep on failing.

 

[entremet]

HRC got more votes than Trump and Rubio combined.

That's good for Democratic turnout come November.

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

The Bern will take Texas

Mark my words

 

[Prodigal Son]

That what happens when results start coming in. Dont start getting hyped when .5% of the vote is put out there.

Didn't notice. Just came home. Assumed more of it was counted.

 

[TyrantII]

Wtf just happened. I saw Sanders winning in Okla but shit flipped flopped faster than clinton

COUNTING VOTES

How the fuck does it work?

 

[SyenceLabb]

What I think is really obnoxious is when news outlets call elections based on exit polling right after polls close, when voting in other states is still on-going. It creates a narrative that can sway other voters or cause them to not even vote. "Oh candidate X won those states? Well I guess candidate Y has no chance."

That's where education comes in.

 

[Kthulhu]

The Bern will take Texas

Mark my words

I hope you like crow.

 

[massivekettle]

That's good for Democratic turnout come November.

That's completely wrong, though.

 

[Joeytj]

It looked good for Bernie for a while there in OK, but Hillary suddenly takes the lead, with 2% in.

Same in Mass, she's taken the lead. Still a long way to go though.

 

[Prodigal Son]

Okay guys. Ouch.

My excitement clouded my reasoning. Fuck.

 

[Alcander]

New page... anyone have a CNN stream?

 

[Oriel]

Clinton killing it in Texas.

 

[boiled goose]

Kasich, WTF are you talking about?????

Same bungled garbage speech after second place in NH.

 

[Ashodin]

Still LONG way to go but I think Bern will pull it out in MA and OK

 

[hipsterpants]

Even though it was known, seeing Trump dominating everything is still hilarious. The national GOP is truly a dumpster fire.

 

[Crocodile]

The type of person I am, I'm eternally an optimist. I have very little in my life that gets me depressed.

Well nobody knows you better than you so do what works for you. Just don't hurt yourself

 

[Matt_]

70-30 to Hillary texas
clinton camp will be very happy if that stays
cnn said 10% but guardian is far behind

 

[balladofwindfishes]

At what point does Rubio throw in the towel?

Doesn't look like he's going to win any states tonight, and most states he's in 3rd.

It's pretty clear he's not going to win this, and even in a brokered convention, they won't pick someone who never won a single primary.

 

[superdeluxe]

Those exit polls....

 

[Velcro Fly]

CNN has really good maps to go with numbers on their website

with anything less than like 15-20% of the vote in there are usually vast swaths of states that just have 0% reporting.

i know everyone wants to be excited about this and i'm really glad for that but y'all need to be realistic.

 

[Wanda/Wander]

Texas has the power to end Cruz

 

[Venfayth]

Done my part in MN. Let's go Bernie!

 

[Calamari41]

Little Marco chokes again. Running out of towels backstage at his campaign HQ.

 

[JasonS]

Somewhat surprised at Mass. I thought that'd be a clear Bernie victory.

 

[danm999]

70-30 to Hillary texas
clinton camp will be very happy if that stays

Only like 6% of the vote atm.

 

[Elfforkusu]

If he's never on track he'll never take the nom.

Super delegates are only going to start to move to him when he gets ahead of Hillary.

Agreed. I'm just saying that he's going to be playing from behind for most of the primary season. That's a given.

It creates a narrative that can sway other voters or cause them to not even vote. "Oh candidate X won those states? Well I guess candidate Y has no chance."

I imagine the majority of people voting during the last hour are just getting off of work, so they probably aren't following polls super closely and it probably wouldn't change who they're voting for (if you marked it in your calendar to go vote for candidate X at the end of the day, and you're only 30 minutes away from it, you probably aren't going to spontaneously change your mind because of some early results from other states).

I mean, it probably happens a bit, but I'd wager that it's significantly less impactful than the effect that Iowa and general long-term momentum has.

 

[CrazyDude]

Okay guys. Ouch.

My excitement clouded my reasoning. Fuck.

It's what makes us different from the robots.

 

[Chezzymann]

Cmon Trump win all the States

 

[GK86]

17% reporting for Texas

Cruz 38% Trump 28%

 

[boiled goose]

I hope you like crow.

Yeah.. was not gonna happen. Hillary getting good turnout in Texas is good for Dems.

 

[Fenderputty]

Rubio has to be embarrassed right now.

Not because he's losing to Trump.

Because he's number 3 in half of the states right now.

#3 in Vermont, #3 in Tennessee, #3 in Massachusetts, #3 in Texas...

Right on track 33334343323332 win!

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

New page... anyone have a CNN stream?

I googled for 1 minute and had no luck. GAF is my CNN for the night.

 

[giga]

Somewhat surprised at Mass. I thought that'd be a clear Bernie victory.

Polls haven't indicated that. So unless those are dead wrong…

 

[Maxim726X]

The dreams of a brokered convention are slipping away...

Trump will have too many delegates. What will the RNC do?

 

[superdeluxe]

70-30 to Hillary texas
clinton camp will be very happy if that stays

Much bigger than I expected, if it holds. Means she is getting large Hispanic vote as well.

 

[catmincer]

Arkansas should be interesting. I feel it'll be close.

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

17% reporting for Texas

Cruz 38% Trump 28%

wait for the victory speech tonight

 

[Sean C]

CNN projects Arkansas for Clinton. Shocker!

Trump projected ahead of Cruz in Arkansas exit poll.

 

[Oriel]

Hilldawg takes Arkansas, which was always going to happen.

 

[danm999]

Arkansas called for CLinton, Trump at 34% Cruz 30% Rubio 25%.

 

[Pryce]

The dream is dead.

Se ya'll in 8 years.

 

[Ashodin]

CNN projects Arkansas for Clinton. Shocker!

Trump projected ahead of Cruz in Arkansas exit poll.

Not surprising!

 

[Kthulhu]

Still LONG way to go but I think Bern will pull it out in MA and OK

just listen to the music and believe.

[Ihyll]

Im at work how's hilldawg doing?

 

[Maxim726X]

Guessthatsthat.jpeg

Was there any question that he would lose Texas? Thought the polling had Cruz clearly in the lead.

 

[Nazgul_Hunter]

Marco Rubio is doing horribly. He needs to get out to make room for a grownup

 

[GYODX]

The reason for the optimism if he wins those states is that super tuesday is his most difficult hurdle with all of its southern states. things get a bit less tough for him later.

GAF's pro hillary consensus was a Hillary sweep outside of Vermont. It can still happen, but I am already seeing some damage control.

The goalpost shifting is really blatant. HillaryGAF sure are a condescending bunch.
