once again, Bernie Sanders is set to have his day ruined by the 1%

I've been saying most of these polls are an inaccurate for a long time and everyone is quick to label you a dreamer and unrealistic. Sanders is still going to do this.

Yeah, if that 12-point is, for example, "only" 6 points, Bernie could be in business.

With the momentum from Iowa and New Hampshire he could slowly carve out wins.

655 right now

Im still trying to figure this stuff out, previous stated by some posters here is that those are delegate numbers, but then whats the 22 vs 21 (del.) mean? are those super delegates?

94% complete

Eventually, there will be 44 delegates

ok i think i'm even more confused now, whats more important? a state delegate count or superdelegate?
im reading on wiki the superdelegate is 347 to 13 in clintons favor lol...

It works like this:

Dems gather at precincts. They vote for delegates supporting a candidate who moves on to next level. Eventually, their will be 44 delegates left after statewide convention.

Superdelegates are people who autatically get to be delegates. Iowa has 8 and Clinton will likely get all of them.

Honestly, if Bernie's words came out of the mouth of someone 15 years younger & 50% less frumpy looking, they'd have the Dem nomination in the bag.

For how long is this going to go on? I'm pumped to know the results tonight, but got to work in the morning..

It's already Tuesday. Everyone loses.

Holy crap! Even his fundraising emails are longwinded.

He cut his teeth as a strong member of the debate team at Harvard. Somebody seriously has to reel him in and put a shock watch or something on him and cut him off after about 10-15 minutes on any speech.

Would absolutely love it if Bernie somehow snuck out a win after Shillary gave her victory speech and split town.

Also, RIP in peace Mike Fuckabee.

Trump better stop skipping debates

0.2% difference w/ 95.4% tallied.
Probably won't be sorted for a couple of days.

War Bernie!

He hasn't learned or developed the ground game element that is necessary to get the turn out.

 

[Possum Jenkins]

With O'Malley's departure imminent, his tiny number of supporters might matter after all if the race is this close.

I originally thought they'd go to Hillary but someone on CNN mentioned that in his events, most people were on the very progressive side, meaning they'll likely go Bernie.

That's what trump gets for being scared and weak willed. Fox news went in deep on trump past two months

Cruz may have one, but seems flat broke.

Cruz's campaign is sitting on the most money right now. You keep posting stuff that isn't data at all and then make irrational claims from it that end up being full blown lies. This is a prime example.

Cruz holds way more cash than GOP opponents

19 million on hand, double Rubio who is in 2nd with most cash.

Trump better stop skipping debates

Trump gave Rubio the spotlight by not doing the last debate and it showed. Rubio won the debate and did damn well in Iowa tonight.

 

[TheStruggle]

Trump played himself tonight

Oh, we'll remember this one, Donald.

Okay that is just funny as fuck

Better make it 25 and 75%

Tallying votes for a poll in the modern century

I died.

If you think this is bad, imagine reliving Bush/Gore in 2000.
