Elections 2016 GOP/Democratic March 15th Primaries

[theBLADE1]

No worries on that man. I'm a realist, I know when it is over, and it is over.

Losing Ohio, and Florida by that margin is a death blow.

Viva anarchy!!

You were never a Bernie supporter anyway.

Good fucking riddance

I never said that's what made him credible. Sanders keeping the race close thru today, doing well in Congress, and having good popularity with his state public does that by itself.

Those look like "credible" numbers to me. The polls have Sanders beating every Republican candidate in the general.

And Hillary? Losing to all but Trump

Let me clarify a point that was originally directed at a different post. He's not a serious candidate to the Dem's, he's their Ron Paul, their Donald Trump. The random guy who gets trotted out as "anti-establishment" because there's always some voters who want the "anti-establishment" candidate, regardless of who it is. But the crux of the appeal is the non-traditional nature of the candidate, not their core philosophy. That policy buy in comes afterwards.

And it doesn't matter that he beats Trump in the polls, everyone predicted that Trump wouldn't even get this far. The pollsters have no idea how to measure Trump's real world appeal...as they've demonstrated over and over again.

Clinton beats Trump in total votes in Florida.

She also only had Sanders to run against

Clinton is going to win Illinois

Come on guys someone explain it to me. Illinois is close, Michigan was close, Missouri is close.

Why was Clinton showing 33 point lead with all counties reporting?

Why have we now seen a 15% swing back towards Sanders?

Is there one person here with some kind of background in statistics that can explain this away?

I get why Missouri showed Clinton up by 20 points and has now flipped, all the counties weren't reporting.

For the love of god, someone explain to me how with all counties reporting we are seeing 15% swing in the polls towards Bernie now.

In what world governed by statistics and math, is that possible?

Each state is tightening up for Sanders while he starts to pull away in Missouri

LOL kid.

Hendo says his voting for Trump, doesn't mean all sander supporters are. Sanders has a lot of independent and liberal followers that dont affiliate themselves as democrats as well.

Most long time democrats are voting for Hillary.

So what party do you affiliate yourself with?

My response had been directed to him and his comments. I appreciate your more reasonable responses but they weren't the ones I was answering.

As for my party, since I was an elected Republican from 2010-2014 (nothing significant), it's Republican. But I'll probably be switching back to independent if they keep screwing the pooch.

its hilarious and frighting how trump thinks being president is a business deal. the trail of failed presidencies from businessmen is long.

 

[NelmarksGhost]

Trump's son looks like he should be wearing an SS uniform.

 

[theBLADE1]

LOL kid.

Face it your a bandwagon rider. @Lead Salad was right about you. Your a quitter and your 2016 account is ridiculous.

 

[Possum Jenkins]

Better that, than a criminal.

See, I notice none of you folks have actually tried to defend Clinton from my attacks, all you have is Trump attacks.

Because Trump is the other option.

Just because he's never held office and thus never had the responsibility over the lives of a bunch of people the way a Secretary of State does do doesn't mean Trump's a blank slate. He has his platform and his proposals.

So your choice is Hillary and her proposals vs Trump and his proposals.

Anyone other than the most backward conservatives will recognize that Hillary is far superior.

 

[panamaican]

And I'm trying to give you an opportunity to amend that 0% policy overlap statement of yours.

Both radicals. Both make economy their platform, insisting that trade policies are to blame for much of our middle class woes. Both taking on the establishment.

There's plenty enough overlap when you consider the disenfranchised, anti-establishment voting block.

You realize how superficial an answer that is? Are they the same type of radical? Do they have the same solution to trade policies? They're not even taking on the same "establishment".

Do they have the same plan for saving the middle class? Is there any candidate that hasn't addressed the middle class woes in the last 5 elections?

You know what...sure, you're right. Bernie and The Donald, real policy overlap.

He beats ALL republican candidates in the polls, and that does matter. But to be fair no one besides Hillary was a serious candidate to the establishment.

The media portrayed him as the democrats trump but Sanders record speaks for itself. Definitely not a fringe candidate

Emojis too? Jesus man, you sure you're not a Hillary shill?

Is that because of her chickenhawk foreign policies compared to Trumps.

Establishment candidate with Super Pacs, remember when Obama supporters said they couldn't vote that in 2012?

 

[Anung Un Rama]

At least Florida stayed true to its stereotype.

That is pretty simple. The counties are not homogeneous entities. So if the later reporting counties have many more people casting votes for Sanders you would see that swing.

Remember when people rejected Clinton for Hope & Change.
