Elections 2016 Democratic/GOP Super Tuesday Primary Thread

[M3t4tr0n]

Not all but some on this forum have said they will. I recall one at least

I just don't understand why Bernie supporters would flock to Donald if Bern drops out. Makes zero sense to me.

perfect!

Bern does well with small populated states with a white population of 85%+

No wonder he thinks his Scandinavian socialism plan will work in the US

Adolf Hitler favored a +85% white population.

It can work but when you do too much marxist tactics you get Sweden which is going south. I am surprised at Bernie winning Oklahoma though.

Well the good news for Bernie coming out of this is the next couple primaries should be somewhat favorable to him. Maine will probably go Bernie, and Nebraska should be ok for him as well (have not seen any real polls from there). Bad news is they are both low delegate states, and the others coming up (LA, OH, FL, MI, IL, and NC) are all significantly higher delegate states, and all are currently pointing heavily to Clinton.

I seem to be hearing a lot about clinton running away with the nomination, and Clinton's domination in the south.

I seem to be hearing very little about Clinton's problems in the midwest and coasts. Clinton's best performances here have been nevada winning by 5%, Massachusetts by 2-3%, and iowa by 0.5%.

Sanders won new hampshire by 20%+, dominated his home state, colorado and minnesota by 15-20%, Oklahoma by 10%. Sanders looks really strong in the midwest and coasts.

Now clinton has absolutely dominated the south, with monster 50% wins, and multiple 30-40% wins. She is in the lead. Sanders has an uphill battle for sure.

With that said there are a lot more delegates on the coasts and midwest then there is in the south. If bernie continues to win the majority of the midwest and coastal states, while losing a few close contests here and there in these regions, the delegate counts will be close after all 50 states, with clinton edging out sanders as things stand now. If bernie builds momentum as things go on, he could still win this.

This talk of superdelegates is absurd. There is no possible way that if a candidate wins the delegate count awarded by votes, that superdelegates would turn the tide against the people's vote. It would be suicide for the Democratic party.

OK, how about Ross Perot effect in 92 and 96? Bill Clinton won 2 terms without ever getting 50% of popular vote. Trump can do the same depending on the 3rd party candidate. Lots of "Bern-outs" won't want to go to Hillary.

Are you aware you just pulled two more examples that reinforced the point I (apparently failed) to convey to you?

Perot hurt Bush & Dole, not Clinton. He campaigned for the "Reform" party which was a loosely collected set of political sympathies that had a particular appeal to the wealthy, and drew mostly from breaking right-wing voters.

I mentioned that.

I didnt say i would go to trump though. I just said id hope Dolan wins if Shillary gets the primary. I stand by that. Shillary is a terrible person......honestly, probably moreso than trump.

couldn't even get it to work in Vermont

Some are conspiracy theorist or radicals who believe that all Politicians are "bought". And that Hillary is evil and Trump is not 'bought'.

Mostly it's a protest vote. How an honest Bernie supporter could support a Cruz, Rubio, or Trump over Hillary is shocking considering the extremely different platforms.

Then why doesn't Bernie mention that?

Once Bernie quits his campaign he is likely to endorse Clinton. In fact I think he'd be shocked at his fans who are legit conspiracy theorists and think that Clinton is "evil".

 

[GhostZ06]

why the fuck did my state want Hilary?

 

[Madmick]

Hillary will pull vastly more centrist GOP voters from Kasich/Rubio than Trump could ever hope to pull centrist Dem voters from Bernie. That's partly because there are so many more voters here to eat.

That doesn't address the native populational advantage that liberals/Democrats enjoy over the GOP right now, either. Hillary doesn't need bleeders. Trump desperately does. He's just floating a right-wing (mostly white) plurality right now, and not a particularly strong one.

That's because it doesn't seem accurate. Exit polls show that Bernie supporters are okay with Hillary for the most part. A few 20 somethings on Sherdog aren't representative for the voters.

 

[RockstarChris]

Trump isnt a republican. I hate republicans and democrats lol. Thats why i like him. Let gays do what they want and get married. Lets not have people die in the streets. Lets enforce our borders. Lets make weed legal. Lets focus on black on black crime AND police violence. 2016 needs a president that will make america somewhat decent again.

BTW hollywood always talks so democratic yet never gives black actors awards. Creed was great. The Revenant was shit.

I dont think Hillary is evil. I just think shes a terrible person thats a compulsive liar and would say or do anything to get a vote.

I guess thats pretty close to evil, but nonetheless.

Bernie will endorse Shillary because hes obligated to. Just as Rafael will endorse Dolan if he wins.

 

[Madmick]

Rubio didn't get any delegates from Texas because he failed to hit 20%. That is going to hurt him greatly.

 

[volodya]

why the fuck did my state want Hilary?

"Uneducated" imo

 

[speakhandsforme]

You think that Bernie supporters will go to Drumpf if Bernie drops out?

The VAST majority will go to Hillary. I'd say 70% go to Hillary, 5-10% to Donald, 20-25% abstain/third party if I were to guess.

 

[ncordless]

Perhaps a few that are just anti-establishment over all. But most will react in horror to the idea of a Trump presidency and hold their nose. For many, it wont be the first time they settled for a Clinton.

This is pretty much what all of the polls say.
