was about to chime in with this one. Whoever wins Clark County takes this thing in a walk, and she's leading there 55-45 right now. Things could still change of course, but it's looking good for her out of the gate.

Yeah, I think people need to remember that Clark (and sure Washoe) are where we need to focus on.

I would guess that if these margins hold (no evidence they will fwiw) that this is a 5%+ win for Hillary.
 
Oh, come on.

Even if Bernie win here, the next states have like a week and he's still polled 10% below. If it were a month, maybe, but a week? He's not gonna do it. But at least it show a bit of hope for the poors and disadvantaged of the country. People are getting tired of the rich propaganda.
We'll see. He crushed all the doom and gloom so far, I am hopeful.
Lol who would rig that
Danny Ocean.
 
This is just internal party voting. I mean, yeah it's dumb, but it's not like it's the GE. Folks need to calm down about this dumb stuff.

Seriously. The parties can do whatever they want. Lest we forget these entities could just say screw it and nominate someone random if they wanted.
 
I really have no idea what this tweet means, I'm sorry :(
Can someone explain?

There was a tie at one precinct (in terms of delegates) and they had the official draw cards to determine which candidate got the final delegate.

The result really means very little in the long run. There are 1714 precincts in the state, and this just determined a single delegate at a single precinct. There are 12,000 delegates total for the state.

In the event of a tie at that voting location, each candidate's Precinct Captain has to draw a card from the deck in order to break the tie. In that precinct, Hillary won the tiebreaker.

(other states use coinflips, etc.)
 
Nevada is a state Hillary should win, even if the two were polling 50-50 nationally, so a loss for Bernie here isn't crushing. He does need to keep it close though, to continue his momentum of catching her.

The new conspiracy theory will probably be that Hillary was able to play with Exodia.

a tied caucus result was settled with playing cards. whichever candidate "drew" the highest card (via a representative) got the delegates.

this also happened in iowa, but they settled those with coin flips. Berniebros threw a fit when it seemed like hillary "won the state" via a series of lucky coin flips.

turned out to be irresponsible reporting and not really accurate, but there was a lot of bitching over that for a few hours.
 
Nice to see CNN has gone out of their way to ensure us that this race will not be over "for a long time" and something about Sanders beating expectations so he never really loses.

I think the big problem is that it's so close to super Tuesday that he needs a big push to even be in the race after that. The polls with African Americans aren't tightening fast enough for him.
 
These college kids on CNN right now are just making me furious.

"Bernie Sanders has never changed his mind on anything. Changing your mind is a sign of weakness in a leader."
 
I really think this was a necessary win for Sanders to not go into Super Tuesday losing 3 of the 4 early contests. He's going to get routed on March 1st, and needed some cushion.
 
Ah yes, my fellow college-aged students engaging in the political discourse... bit cringe worthy when it's on national television.

But, I'm glad people my age are involved.

Yep. Hillary looks like she will get a comfortable victory today and Sanders really needed to do better. Clinton is going to be in cruise control for the next couple of weeks.
 
"We need a president who can get things done."

Yeah, the GOP Congress will really try hard and work with Hillary. Yep.
