Presidential Primary results Tuesday March 8th

Polls are about to close. I think both Trump and Sanders are finished if they lose Michigan.

Sanders is already done

For the Dems, this makes no sense. Results are proportional, so the difference between winning and losing can be a delegate or two in a race to the thousands.

Hillary won Mississippi.

 

[NelmarksGhost]

Clinton projected winner of Mississippi. No surprise.

Trump with 49% with Cruz at 36% in Mississippi. Again no surprise.

CNN's exit poll results for GOP Mississippi race.

Trump 49%
Cruz 36%
Rubio 7%
Kasich 7%

Mathematically he can still win, but to me a Sanders loss in Michigan is a strong indicator that he can't win in the other rust belt states.

It would be a strong indicator of his future performance in the north. Obviously he would still be in it mathematically, but I would bet $1000 against Trump getting the 1237 if he loses Michigan.

 

[second sight]

Clinton and Trump.

so what does a pink name mean?

 

[NelmarksGhost]

Yuge. Kasich, and Sanders in the lead.

 

[Culombo]

'if trump ____ , he's finished' .. so this is the lastest one ? lol ..

 

[Culombo]

kasich out of nowhere with a slight lead in michigan .. where'd that come from ? lol only 1% reporting though

 

[BVG]

Sanders is ahead so far!

Maybe that Arnold endorsement actually helped?

Sanders might win Michigan. They're calling Mississippi for Clinton, but I don't see any results for that state yet.

I don't think tonight is all that important for Trump win or lose, he needs to win Florida and Ohio though or else we'll likely get a contested convention.

I'd bet my balls that Trump loses Ohio. That's why Michigan was so important. Kasich just proved his strength in the north. Trump won't get 1237 even with Florida.

Interesting that Sanders is doing well in Michigan, after Hillary allegedly trounced him in the debate (where it seemed pretty clear that Bernie did great).
