the FUCKING REPLIES TO THAT TWEET

Lol at your tag.

This is a great reminder why I never use twitter.
 
He's barely doing better than he was projected to. Clinton, on the other hand, is very much outperforming expectations.



Demographic breakdown of all primaries.



How they did vs. how they should have done.
All those black people Bernie has gotten for marching with MLK were actually white
in the south
 
If by "historically" you mean before 1964, sure, but there has been a lot of history over the last 52 years.

Well, considering I mentioned the confederacy and slavery, neither of which existed after 1865, then yes, "historically" I was talking about prior to 1964. It's a statement of historical fact that the Democratic party was closely aligned to the KKK. Now, where it enters into that guy's brain on CNN talking about political realities today, I have no goddam clue.
 
Holy shit. This guy alone almost redeems CNN. When he started talking about his kid... like a punch in the gut.

Peter Gergen had a pretty good moment standing up to a Trump supporter yesterday(Or maybe it was on Sunday?), too. Guy's normally as calm and detached as you can get, too.
 
That's not a human being right there.

That... is something else.

I want to say it's a robot, but that just seems too convenient. I want to say he's like an android that was originally a cloned human that didn't come out right.

He definitely kinda reminds me of Harkness from Fallout 3. The Replicated Man.
 
What are the numbers without superdelegates?

425 to 210. Still not good for Sanders. 200 points are really hard to make up.

That's a delegate deathblow to Sanders.

Obama in 2008 didn't even have that kind of lead right after Super Tuesday.

Bernie is now 200+ delegates behind without supers. Mathematically Bernie has no realistic path to the nomination now.

It makes 2008 diehard Hillary supporters seem downright rational and sane by comparison and they were in mathematical losing battle. This is so far beyond that, I don't understand how someone can rationally argue he has a path to the nomination.

He wanted to deflect as much as possible. He wasn't even willing to dismiss the KKK.

Jeff Lord is the worst.

A necessary evil in the world of pundits. The true Trump aligned heel.
 
Guys.


Taking the (wrong) predictions and moving the success bar over *there* is not a good look.

The success bar is a reasonable path to the nomination. Period. No amount of wrong predictions from people here change the discussion regarding that particular point.
 
We need to dispel this notion that Trump doesn't know who David Duke is. He knows EXACTLY who David Duke is!

Whether we believe him or not, we heard Trump condemn the KKK.

He didn't do it immediately, and if Rubio wanted to focus on that he could have. But he can't say the guy refuses to condemn them, when he's on record doing that multiple times since the initial interview.

And the Republican party was the party of Lincoln. You wouldn't know that looking at the Republican Party today tho...

And over the next couple of weeks she'll blow those numbers out even more. Being down by something like 100 delegates at this point is bad, but not insurmountable. Make it 200 like it is now and things become a *lot* harder. Over the next 2 weeks, an additional 854 delegates are up for grabs. I assume Bernie will win a majority of the 25 up for grabs in Maine, but assuming that Hillary gets 55 percent of the rest (*very* generous considering the huge margins she has in a lot of those states), he's down nearly 100 more. Add in the superdelegates, and she's up by nearly 800 delegates. That's an insurmountable lead.

The only large states (>100 delegates) left after that are Washington (101, probably leans Bernie), New York (247, almost certainly leans Hillary), Pennsylvania (189, no clue who would be ahead there), California (475, would lean Bernie but the large Hispanic population would lean Hillary keeping things fairly close), and New Jersey (126, probably leans Hillary). None of these are likely to be outright blowouts one way or the other, so assuming those delegates are fairly evenly split, there's just not enough to make up the difference.

Yeah, that conversation is over

Mhmm. Rubio realizes the situation his campaign is in and is grasping at straws. Just look at his face during that CNN interview 5 minutes ago.
 
He was a racist, and he was a Democrat. Unlike Trump.

And so? That was a long time ago and the Democratic Party is different now. Dwight Eisenhower didn't like the military industrial complex but the GOP is full of warmongers now. Times change, simple as that.

And Trump may not be racist but him pandering to racists is just as bad as being racist. He does no good by emboldening hate speech.
 
CNN gets a bad wrap but they are the best out of the 3 major news stations, imo. They fuck around too much with BREAKING SHIT BREAKS, though.

Alja zeera is where real news is at.... But it's hard to get them and they're closing down soon.

So we really only have the three shitty choices.
 
Is this a thing spread by Clinton supporters?

I mean if you think about it, even for a second, it wouldn't make any sense. It would be more likely that Bernie supporters would be "disillusioned" and not vote.

CNN mentioned a poll that said 20% of Democrats wouldn't vote for Clinton. Dunno what poll and how good it is, but it isn't just 'a thing spread by Clinton supporters'.
 
To be fair to Bernie supporters, a good amount of them have never followed a Democratic primary before so you can't get too upset with them not understanding how proportional delegates work. The fact that they're so closely following MA to see if Bernie can squeak out a 0.1% win when they lost Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Virginia etc. by 25-40 points says it all.

I admire their blind enthusiasm.
 
Start? The GOP field have been attacking her for months, barely mentioning Sander's name even in passing. At least Cruz is already running attack ads against Clinton.

The GOP attacks Clinton from the right, Trump will hit her from the center and from the left - pretty much parroting Sanders. Trump is running as the ultimate populist - he is going to run on all positions that are popular with his base.

Obama actually built up his delegate lead in a streak of wins after Super Tuesday. It wasn't this large from memory.

But yes, maths is not Sanders friend.
 
Seeing as how leftist GAF is, I am surprised Bernie is not the most popular candidate. Or is income equality not an issue worth taking seriously?

His policies are the most popular, but a lot don't see him as electable. 8-12 years from now, when Bernie 2.0 is inevitably running, they'll be more popular because their chance of being elected will likely be much higher. This is why Bernie was still successful this election cycle and Bernie supporters need to get their shit together and realize voting for Hillary is what needs to happen. It's clear the GOP is imploding; this is the chance to elect a capable democrat (who is now more left because of Bernie) and carry that momentum into the midterms for fucking once and elect democratic legislators. That, along with a possible huge swing towards the left in the judiciary with potential SCOTUS appointments should be the main concern of anyone who was even remotely serious about Bernie's ideology. After Hillary's terms, the federal government could easily be in the perfect state for a very progressive president. It's just up to progressive minded people to understand the stakes, swallow their pride, and vote for the Hilldawg.
