Democratic New York Primary results thread (polls close at 9pm ET)

[Crumpets]

High turnout at my precinct. Lots of olds and wealthies. Very few youngs. Looks like Lyin' Bernie's fixin' to get a good old fashioned New York whuppin'.

Everybody knows hipster don't vote until after noon.

I thought they voted before it was cool?

[Crumpets]

48% continue Obama policies
38% more liberal
10% less liberal

That's actually not that great for Hillary, but if there's any state she can get some pickins from the more liberal/less liberal demographic, it's New York.

Haha, that bad?

Basically a bunch of people railing against voter disenfranchisement while simultaneously discussing how to commit fraud so independents can vote.

benchmark politics thinks final tally will be 57/43 clinton

Great! My prediction was 57.5-42.5

[Crumpets]

I think one of the biggest things Sanders folks need to wrap their head around if they want to run a smarter campaign. Democrats actually like and are inspired by Hillary Clinton, and calling her a corporate whore isn't going to win over their hearts and minds.

Did I just hear Brian Williams say that NBC will project both contests at 9:00?

EDIT: Or did he just mean "characterizations"?

If she's at 52 and Sanders splits delegates with Clinton in NYC, you've got yourself a horserace.

The chart was of who voters found more "inspirational" not who they voted for.

NBC: too early to call

[Crumpets]

538 guessing 53-47 for Hillary based on exits.

[Crumpets]

Hillary currently up around 10,000 votes with 4% in.

[Crumpets]

9% in and Hillary is still up 24%. Even if it's close at the end of the night, I think we can call it for Clinton.

[Crumpets]

Hillary now up over 63,000 votes. Also outperforming exit poll in NYC by 14 points.

Also, although Sanders is definitely doing well in upstate New York, he's not doing exceptionally well. Only three counties are over 60% right now as far as I can tell.

Ana Kasperian on TYT is losing her damn mind right now... every Democrat who prefers Clinton to Sanders is both a "farking moron" and need to acknowledge that she is "smarter than them"

I was just watching that. I'm curious, she works in media, right? So when she talks about being "better educated" on the issues, is she referring to her extensive background in policy analysis, or reading the exact same news articles that come across our Facebook feeds everyday? Seriously, I don't claim to be more policy-fluent on every issue than her, but I'd debate her on foreign policy and Hillary's strengths there relative to Bernie any day.

Jimmy says he thinks Hillary is just as bad as Trump. Cenk says hillary will be primaried in 2020 like LBJ was in 1968

They've reached peak self parody. lol

1968 was such a good year for progressives tho!

Meh. The "progressive" candidate that year was just an establishment shill who was the family member of a former President, served as a corrupt cabinet member, and capretbagged to represent corporate New York in the Senate. Not to mention, most of his support came from low-information minority voters, and every state he won in the primary voted for Nixon in 1960.

Here's the swing map 2008-2016 using standard Atlas shading. Apparently the people of Westchester County only just realized that she (kind of) lives there.
