Tonight has been very disappointing from an election map perspective.

Please elaborate on this "election map perspective."

I guess he means that the election map is boring if Biden sweeps everything.

Oh. LOL.
If that's the case, what does he think of the election map perspective on the R side?

[Holmes]

I hope Biden gets another 270 votes in MO so he passes 400k instead of being stuck at 399k because I have what? OCD.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

So the WA Dems are saying over 1.7 million ballots were cast. If true, Washington is poised to easily beat Colorado for the biggest increase in turnout since 2016.





In conclusion, caucuses are dumb.

I'm not even bothering with most of the R primaries. I had some mild hopes for some interesting regional patterns on the D side today.

Fair enough.

[Lisa's voting Biden]

45% of Idaho in and Biden is only leading by 7 now.

Finally got an update from ND. Sanders is still leading 44-32 with 32% in.

Agree.

Washington State Democrats say 1.7 million ballots were cast in the primary. The state’s Democratic caucuses in 2016 drew only 230,000 people.

Sanders won Teton County, ID.

[Crumpets]

I'm really fascinated by the Washington county map. Sanders wins urban areas and traditional liberal strongholds, Biden wins suburbs, and rural areas are thoroughly mixed.

[Xing]

Yeah, Biden wins WA by about 5 unless the results so far are randomly mixed. Not surprised to see some of the gloating and rubbing it in, though I wish some people could see that they’re acting exactly like the “Bernie Bros” that they claim are so terrible. Honestly, might be time for me to take a break from this site, at least until the hate boners for Sanders start to go away.

Wouldn't be surprised if he does end up winning there. Another frivolous caucus that needs to go.

[Tender Branson]

1.4 million votes cast in MI for the Ds so far, 0.6 million for the Rs.

It was 1.2 to 1.3 in 2016.

ND has no caucus.

[Non Swing Voter]

I think that at this point it is fair to say that the conventional wisdom that Bernie had a ceiling was totally accurate.  Even in states he won fairly big (Colorado, Nevada, Utah) he was essentially getting around the same percent of the vote that he's getting now.  Everything else just consolidated around Biden.

Blame the state government for not being willing to go to a statewide primary.

Did you hear Biden's speech tonight.
He wants and needs you and the other Bernie supporters to defeat trump come November.
He is being inclusive to all/everyone.

[Matty]

Can we all admit that bill weld, for being a former governor, has performed embarrassingly in some of these races?

He got 11% in his home state he was gov of!  

Not even breaking 3% tonight

Hell, some guy running from a jail cell got double digits against obama in some primaries

I'm pretty sure it is.

I'll agree with you that this kind of behavior is unproductive, but it's undeniable that Sanders will not be the Democratic nominee at this point. What is necessary is for Biden to reach out to progressives and Sanders supporters-and a good way of doing that would be for him to choose a progressive as his running mate. However, I will say that it is astounding the extent to which people on here are rallying behind Biden. This bipolar party system which we have is definitely not the most ideal for those of us who would rather we had more choices in a general-not counting third parties that have no chance.

It's a firehouse caucaus.

Biden's lead in Idaho is now down to 4 points.

As I've said before, the Republican base is locked in for Trump. The Never Trumpers have either been driven out of the party or have (in the case of virtually all Republican politicians in the Establishment) become Trump sycophants. The Democrats need to keep this in mind throughout the general election season-Trump's base is locked in, and to counter him, it will be necessary to generate turnout among left-leaning voters who sat home or defected to third parties last time.

[ProudModerate2]

The numbers have not moved in Washington for some time now.
I will be back in an hour or two to see what's going on. Over and out (temporarily).
