Wow! I legitimately cannot believe how wrong the polls / pollsters were. Congrats Bernie

 

[Mrbob]

Big blow for Hillary in the general. Mich gonna flip red.

 

[Deleted member 13876]

Jesus some of you are just so tiring at this point.

Anyway, pretty fucking awesome night.

If anything stays consistent it will be the condescension.

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

It's 41 delegates a candidate. Bernie doesn't have a path to nomination. It's sad to see the naivety of the youth for those person.

If you're going to talk about naivety, you should at least be aware of how many delegates Michigan has

 

[Kickz]

Bernie projected winner by CNN!

Well done men, you held the line well and served your king admirably!!!

 

[smokeymicpot]

CNN are the only people at Sanders HQ in Florida.

How does this even make sense?

Even his own camp said that wasn't all they planned, and that they intend to try and broker some switches at the convention, presumably if they continue to get enough of a momentum swing.

Interviewer: Do you hate Bernie?
Hillary: No, I don't hate Bernie. I pity the fool, and I will destroy any man who tries to take what I got!

Can't wait for Hillary to hit on Bernie's wife in front of cameras in the next debate once we enter the Rocky 3 phase.

HEY WOMAN!

 

[Maxim726X]

Big blow for Hillary in the general. Mich gonna flip red.

Huh. Yeah, no.

 

[Lkr]

im sorry everyone, please don't judge me too harshly for my joke in poor taste


is detroit in yet???

 

[Brinbe]

If anything this can be spun as a good thing. She can't let good polling make her complacent.

 

[phanphare]

man, I hope NC shows up for Bernie

 

[Werd]

I mean, did you read that post and the post I was responding to? I totally stand by it. Decision Desk wasn't "grasping for attention" by calling the state for Hillary. They presumably genuinely thought she'd win it, kind of like every other analyst looking at the state did. This does make them look pretty bad.

Everything I posted is still 100% accurate even if Bernie wins the state!

I replied to that and specifically said I thought they believed she would win, but were possibly being overzealous in calling it for the extra eyes doing so would get them as a relatively minor outlet. If you are going to call a primary based on polls for counties with 0% reporting, why not do it the day before? There's a reason no one else called it for 3 hours.

CNN are the only people at Sanders HQ in Florida.

Sanders HQ down there looks like a broken down stage.

 

[NotBacon]

The Bern lives on!

 

[boiled goose]

I love how nate silver induces salt. 538 is right a massive amount of the time and when they get something wrong the trolls come out to feast.

Getting it wrong sometimes is fine and expected. This time they were massively massively wrong.

 

[Pamplemousse]

Cruz edging out Kasich in Michigan, fffffffffffffff-

So far. Still 19% unreported.

 

[Goodstyle]

*Having a Kylo Ren level tantrum at Bernie's win right now.

 

[Boke1879]

How does this even make sense?

Because people have in their heads that everyone voting Sanders won't vote for Hillary in the GE.

 

[DrForester]

Good job Bernie.

 

[MIMIC]

Detroit at 1% now

man, I hope NC shows up for Bernie

I guarantee the Triad will be there

 

[ChoklitReign]

If you read the lyrics to Burn by Nine Inch Nails...Trent Reznor predicted this night.

 

[Days like these...]

I'm loving these 'Yasss Queen B!' posts. Congrats Bernie. I think hilldawg is in for a rude awakening in other open primary states.

 

[womfalcs3]

What exactly is embarassing or sad about being psyched for a candidate that represents their values gaining momentum in a race where that candidate needs to gain a crazy amount of momentum to win? Is it sad because, oh god, he might lose? It's not like we're betting on horses.

The youth want to see free college education? Good luck with that... that'll never pass congress.
The youth want to see free healthcare? Good luck with that... that'll never pass congress.

How do we fund this? Higher taxes? Good luck with that... that'll never pass congress.

Clinton won the number of delegates in Michigan. Her delegates + superdelegates are higher.

 

[Fedelias]

Well done men, you held the line well and served your king admirably!!!

Lmao what is this

 

[Head of Vengarl]

Anyway, despite how nervous a Bernie primary win makes me, I must say:

First the Lakers beat the Warriors, and now this. Week of upsets.

 

[massoluk]

Getting it wrong sometimes is fine and expected. This time they were massively massively wrong.

The pollsters got it wrong, what does it have anything to do with Nate Silver?

 

[noshten]

last couple of hours:

This gif will not get old

Nate Silver ✔ ‎@NateSilver538
In the famous New Hampshire upset in '08, Clinton trailed Obama by 8 points. Big upset. But today, Sanders trailed Clinton by *21* and won.

this is yuge

 

[SlimySnake]

What a race tonight. Cersei lost and Stannis won.

The momentum will be on his side and everyone is going to be questioning the polls.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

I love how nate silver induces salt. 538 is right a massive amount of the time and when they get something wrong the trolls come out to feast.

You defend him like he's family.

When you predict over 99% confidence level, combined with Nate ignoring Trump, yeah, he's going to get shit on when he's wrong.

I don't have all night to explain to you how 538's models work.

They are not pollsters. If they use the polling data and its inaccurate then I don't know how you can fault them.

 

[pigeon]

Wow did the Bernie camp even think they were gonna win Michigan? Incredible

Judging by the speech he gave earlier in front of a garbage truck, the answer is probably no. I don't think anybody expected this (which is more evidence in my mind for the "tactical primary voting" theory).

 

[smokeymicpot]

Sanders HQ down there looks like a broken down stage.

They just booked it just incase it got to this point. Now they need to set stuff up.

 

[Battersea Power Station]

Bernie's gotta play up his age and white hair to get those retirees on his side.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Detroit at 1% now

lmaaaaao. "0% in Detroit tho" should be a new meme

Like Ohio

 

[hom3land]

I guarantee the Triad will be there

Not before the triangle gets there first!

 

[boiled goose]

Sanders won 70-38 with independents in Michigan.
Not viable in the general huh?

 

[mcfrank]

Big blow for Hillary in the general. Mich gonna flip red.

Huh?

 

[Good Job Bob]

 

[eyeball_kid]

The youth vote is definitely important, but "cares about people like me" is the really dangerous part for Clinton. The majority of Democrats don't feel that Hillary either cares or is genuine in her concern for the welfare of the people. That is a hard optic to overcome.

 

[Chindogg]

Can Bernie win Flint now?

Bernie won Genesse county, so yes he won Flint.

 

[Kickz]

Amazing

 

[Michael F. Assbender]

#DingDongTheWitchIsDead

I'm definitely seeing a difference in tone between Clinton supporters when she wins and Sanders supporters when he wins.

Stay classy.

 

[Draconian]

What a race tonight. Cersei lost and Stannis won.

The momentum will be on his side and everyone is going to be questioning the polls.

Yeah, it's gonna be great to see every poll from this point onward made out to be a bunch of garbage.

 

[VanCityGamer]

Cruz is going to easily beat Trump in Idaho. Wonder if that's a surprise.
