Honestly, I have mixed feelings on this. I can't decide who's a worse racist here.

Sanders has lost Pickens County

[Xing]

I'm not guessing it will be a Clintonslide. I'm just amazed that you're so confident someone like Trump will win.

So am I. I'm not totally confident that he will win (his biggest obstacles are demographics and the media) and two months ago I thought that he would lose in a yuge landslide, but I've realized that he might be the best chance the Republicans have. Rubio and Cruz are not going to win this election and Kasich isn't winning the nomination (unfortunately). People have been underestimating Trump for so long now, I don't expect that to change during the GE campaign.

Of course, Trump shouldn't be underestimated, but the fact that not all Republicans are sold on Trump is a bigger obstacle than the media (which he has to thank for his rise. Even if the coverage is negative, it still helps him.) His biggest obstacle is that he has no substance, experience, or solutions ("winning" doesn't count.) That might not matter enough in a Republican primary, but if Democrats are smart, they'll make it matter.

At least Bernie is winning a few precincts.

Is there a silver lining for Sanders? Anywhere?

Hillary is under 75% now.

Feelin' the Bern!

The white vote was a slight one, but even that's gone now.

[DrScholl]

Name recognition is incredibly powerful and attachment to a name is even more powerful. Sanders clearly did not give people a good enough reason to get on board with him.

He got votes?
It will be over soon?
He can still win Vermont?

[Wiz in Wis]

Hillary is winning Clarendon County 91-9... That's Earth-shattering.

His silver lining is that he wasn't expected to win here anyway, so the result likely won't negatively impact him much on Super Tuesday.

Looks like the exit polls did overestimate Clinton.

A regular drubbing wouldn't have impacted him. This will.

Exit polls were showing Hillary winning 68%...

[The Other Castro]

Yeah he should probably drop out after March 15th...

Looking at what counties haven't fully come in yet, Sanders may be able to pull Clinton down to 70%.

I have doubts about that.

No, they were indeed showing her winning 75%. Browse the earlier posts in this thread if you wish.

Yeah, Pickens County is finished, and Clinton won with 55.5%.

Maybe now it says 75%. But it was certainly 68% for Clinton when I was looking at them as soon as polls closed.

Probably not for Sanders, but for his supporters, his message will not disappear. Were it not for having him in the race, I'm not sure Clinton would have proudly declared that she is a progressive.

We'll see soon enough. NH hurt Hillary even though she was expected to lose big there because it was bigger than expected.
