Democratic Bayou/Cauci Saturday election results thread (first results @4pm ET?)

[Boston Bread]

Didn't the last poll on the Dem side in KS have Clinton+10? That's an even bigger polling fail than the Trump +7 one GOP side.

[ProgressiveCanadian]

Amazing results for Sanders!

[The Other Castro]

Sanders got a great result out of Kansas, but a surprisingly poor result out of Nebraska. And of course he is getting destroyed in Louisiana. Not a great night for him.

Lol if that's the best spin you've got...

The only Kansas Dem polls we had were awful.

Caucus's nearly impossible to poll.

Sanders could up his numbers a bit in Nebraska, but these are the kinds of numbers he needs to compete with Clinton. If she performs as well in the Midwest as she has in the South, then of course it's over for him. Overall, though, it seems Sanders is doing pretty well in the Western half of the country.

[Antonio the Sixth]

68% in Kansas is an excellent result.

Hopefully Lancaster County will pull his margin in NE around 15 points, which would be great as well.

Looks like Sanders could possibly have an Obama 08 type of map in the north west.

Spin looks an awful like reality.

If we look at delegates, Sanders had a mediocre night. Sure, he is getting 4 more delegates than he needs in Kansas, but it is looking like he is going to fail to meet his targets in Louisiana and Nebraska to the tune of more than four, thus putting him even more in the hole.

[catographer]

Sanders ain't meeting his targets, he's down by a lot in the polls of FL, OH, MI, NC, and IL. This election is looking like the 2008 Obama/Clinton map if you give all the southern and high African-American states to Clinton and give Clinton more of the Midwest like IL and IA. Sanders is only keeping the small, white, rural states in the plains and upper midwest.

And extrapolating this out to Maine, it looks like they will tie in Delegates, and that is giving him a 15-10 edge in Maine delegate count.

[Ebsy]

Clinton was looking for a tie out of this weekend, with her competing in  three states that she was probably going to lose along with favorable terrain in Louisiana. It looks like she is going to get that delegate tie and deny Sanders momentum going into the more important contest of Michigan.

[Figueira]

You can argue that Sanders or Clinton had a good night; in reality they both did in different ways. The point is, this will have absolutely no impact on the race.

Kansas was an unexpected blow out. He never once led in a poll there, and won by 35 points.

[ProgressiveCanadian]

Atlas: Bernie Sanders won 2 of 3??? Nope nope should of done better terrible nighttt.

It's understandable that someone that knows so little about the nomination process as you fails understand that this is a race for delegates and not for states.

Caucuses always favor the most liberal candidate for Democrats.

Except its true. He was supposed to win the states that he won. '2/3' is a frames the race in an inappropriate statistical way. Sanders needed to hold up better in the plains and close the gap down south. Sure, he won 2 states, but he is no on track to win enough delegates to get the nomination.

No one is arguing Sanders cannot win states, but the fact is he is not winning enough in the states he is favored to win and he is losing far too much in the states he isnt favored in.

[Landslide Lyndon]

According to Berniebot logic if Sanders wins Rhode Island and Delaware while Clinton carries California that means a great night for Bernie.

I suspect Bernie would have won an Iowa primary.

There was literally no polls there, besides one that was clearly junk.

[catographer]

Anyone else find it dumb that this is being called "Super Saturday?" There were 3 states, a drop in the bucket. The delegate results appear to change nothing; Clinton still has a 200 pledged delegate lead and 600 pledged+superdelegate lead.

[yourelection]

What did Sanders really accomplish tonight? Winning a state is not much of an accomplishment, due to the proportional allocation of delegates. It is the size of the win and the amount of delegates at stake. A close win in Nebraska is not the same as a big win in LA.

Yes, since I first heard this I decided to name it Weaksauce Saturday instead.

Math is hard.
