Mini Tuesday results thread

[roxas11]

Anything closer than 60-35 Biden in MI would really surprise me ...

It’s fairly obvious that a lot of Warren supporters have now gone to Biden ... not Sanders.

Bernie might do a bit better though if Election Day turnout is low today, relative to the postal voting (500.000 or so).

It makes a difference if total turnout is 1 million or 2 million, of which either half or just a quarter are postal/early votes ...

a lot also depends on bernie voters
are they going to actually come out this time or are they sitting at home making Negative Biden hashtags on twitter and hoping Bernie pulls it off without them ever actually showing up to vote lol

It really depends on the Bernie voters. Are they going to vote or just harrass Biden on Twitter?

That must but their ultimate plan

If they tweet at Biden enough than maybe he will just go away lol

The first super Tuesday made is clear that Twitter is not the real world
if his voters don't get out an actually vote for the man than all the Negative Biden twitter Hashtags in the world will not save bernie

In case you wanted more...

Assuming that Sanders somehow wins the presidency, how is he going to be able to achieve those things?

It seems more like a wishlist than an actual plan.

So instead vote for a guy who isn’t wishing for those things but would veto them..? Yeah, that’s surely how you achieve progress.

HE NEVER SAID HE WOULD VETO A SINGLE ONE OF THOSE THINGS.... God watch the damn video. He said he would veto anything that would cause a lapse in coverage. . . And I'm pretty sure you can't veto "end the wars" and other vague things like that

sadly when live in a era where facts don't matter anymore
Just look at Facebook

you get on there and post any ridiculous nonsense you can think of and there will little to no attempt to stop or correct you

On CNN the reporter on the ground in Mississippi said that Sanders canceling his rally in Jackson was noticed by voters. One voter said "I like Bernie, but he skipped us". Not that holding the rally would have much helped Sanders, but it appears that some voters didn't like being written off.

ironically being written off was a big theme of Biden super Tuesday victory speech

Not sure if it's because we're down to two but I feel bored tonight watching the results compared to everything thus far.

because there is really no surprise about any these results

the only thing some people were holding out for is Could Bernie surprise in Michigan and so far the answer is no

The real question here is: Does Biden's strength in the WWC/Rural Dem counties translate to the general? If so, Trump is done.

Well in 2016 Bernie shocking win over Hillary was the first big warning sign About her support among WWC/Rural Dem

In that case her weakness with rural white working class voters did translate to the general election

At least some pundits are realizing that sexism played a role in Bernie doing well in 2016.

C'mon. How much of it was actual sexism, and how much was aversion to Hillary Clinton personally?

A lot of it was sexism, look at what happened to every female candidate this year.

part of me wants to believe sexism had nothing to do with and it was all about Hillary but the reality is sexism played a huge role in what happened to her

look I have seen Male candidates with tons of scandals like Hillary had in 2016 but I have never In my life witness level of hatred for a candidate. even on non political sites I would have people talking about how much they hate her.

here is perfect example of what Im talking about


at this point 4 years ago today the website Politics Reddit was filled with nothing but negative news stories about Hillary

Today if you go to the same site is nowhere near as negative on Biden despite that fact that most of the people on that site are Bernie fans who claim they dislike as much as they do Hillary lol
