Democratic KY / OR primary results thread (first polls close at 6pm ET)

As a Clinton supporter, it annoys/concerns me how much rural and Conservative Democrats have abandoned her in Appalachia. Why would they vote for a socialist anyway? They don't agree with his policies certainly.

I think the actual question should be, why have so many rural and small town Democrats feel that the Democratic Party has abandoned them?

I spent much of my life in small town and rural Oregon and recall vividly how many lifelong Democrats in Southern Oregon, including many union members in Coos and Douglas county, felt that the Democratic president (Clinton) was taking the side of radical environmentalists versus working people.

Needless to say, the Timber industry and local Republican politicians tried to present the argument as jobs versus the environment, rather than talk frankly about the actual economic situation and why the logging and mill jobs were disappearing.

I see many similarities between the decline of the Timber industry in the PacNW and what is happening currently within Coal Country.

And quite frankly, these are parts of the country where the Unions came in after several generations of blood, sweat, and tears and " Ain't Done Nothing If You Ain't Been Called A Red" doesn't actually hold water with the history of the IWW, ILWU, UMWA, etc...

Socialist is a word that the company bosses and operators have been throwing around for a 100 years in many parts of the country to describe anyone that is a Union Man.

Keep in mind that although Democrats have lost much of the rural vote in the South, they gained the rural vote in New England and have mostly retained their hold on rural areas in the upper-Midwest.  I believe eastern Oregon has always been generally favorable to Republicans but is now outvoted by Portland and surrounding areas, right?

NYT is still just giving us initial results for Barren.  McCracken and Jefferson appear to be all that's left.

Obama chose not to ask for a recount in MO in the 2008 general election. He could've, he didn't want to. Let it be Sanders.

Obama is a Democrat. He's about party unity.
Sanders isn't a Democrat. He's about his "revolution."
Bernie Sanders = Rand Paul.

Rand or Ron Paul has never won a primary/caucus.

Ron Paul actually won the Virgin Islands caucus, you corporate media shill.

He also won the majority of delegates in Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, and Minnesota! #ronpaulr3VOLution

Nope, you gotta do it like this: R[ƎVO˩]UTION

Right now Sanders is doing well in the Portland area. It's a large enclave of SJWs.

NYT calls it for Sanders.

Also, lol at the idea that Sanders is 100% financed by college kids.

Anything to feed the narrative.
