Democratic Acela Corridor Tuesday results thread (all polls close at 8pm ET)

[The Free North]

Sanders should clean up in NW and NE CT (basically extensions of Rural Mass), but he is getting killed already in the 'urban' regions of the state....he's losing 65-35 in Hartford and Bridgeport.

[yourelection]

"We've-come-along-way-baby". Interssting way of describing Sander's speech. Is that what it comes down to? Sanders knows he's lost but still wants everyone to know he did better than everyone thought?

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

I actually feel bad for Bernie.

Why?  Did anyone expect him to do as well as he did?  He had to have the perfect storm to even have a chance.  This was not some crapshoot.

New Haven is close, but yeah, hoping that Hartford gets closer.

Well certain Bernie news outlets *cough cough TYT* have been feeding the kids with the info that Bernie was the favorite...so you can understand the distorted expectations.

Quite a ridiculous assessment by them at any point if that is true.

(yes... that's right!  I support Bernie and don't watch TYT!)

OMG, jfern, PC and all of the Clinton hacks: can you take all of your petty bullshit sniping to PM or to another thread? Nobody reading this thread gives a shit about your stupid quarreling and nobody wants to see it. We're here to read numbers and results.

and no one cares about your bitching. It's the internet get over it.

Yeah, the one whining for the past two pages (or several months, whichever) isn't the one bitching...

[Dr. Arch]

The margin in RI just shrank ridiculously for Bernie with just central falls.

Does Clinton have a better shot than Sanders against Trump in a GE?:

MD: 73%
PA: 64%
CT: 63%

Democrats are as delusional as the Republicans.

Or...

Hillary Clinton is obviously the favorite for democrats but to say she has a better shot then Sanders when polls (the same polls that have Hillary up against Bernie) say otherwise across the board is just silly. She has a great shot at destroying him nationally but she still trails Sanders lead on him by 6.7% according to RCP.

Sanders has not been attacked by the GOP campaign apparatus, inflating his numbers. Not saying Trump would beat him, but this argument is weak.

...and this argument isn't weak and non factual? Is anyone going to dislike Sanders more if they attack him and call him a socialist or communist a thousand more times? Yea i doubt it.

This will hurt him with your average low-information swing voter.

People don't care about the word socialism as much as they used to.

It will still hurt him with seniors. And not many people are going to vote for somebody who will raise their taxes as much as Sanders will.

[The Free North]

Per CNN exits, Clinton is winning amongst those making over 200k a year in CT by around 40 points.

Pretty clear 'class' divide amongst dem primary voters.

[Wells]

lol, Sanders is leading in RI, but the NYT map has it shaded as Clinton lead.

[yourelection]

Anxious to finally get some results from PA

Yeah they were saying that Bernie's small state winning streak was going to give him momentum to take NY and he would be the favorite at that point.

"What if....Arizona was the last state that Hillary Clinton won.....what if?"

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Wait ... Clinton is winning New Haven? Shouldn't he be crushing it?

[Illiniwek]

lol, Sanders is leading in RI, but the NYT map has it shaded as Clinton lead.

Yeeeeee the fix is in lets go!

[Crumpets]

Any guesses on who is going to win Newtown?

Seniors are a dying demographic, will not matter in years to come.

I would be terrified to be at a Clinton rally. Literally any time the networks cut away to one, you can hear "Fight Song" in the background. Jesus Christ: is there some sort of subliminal brainwashing technique to it?

That song rules. I work out to Rachel Padden.

[adrac]

lol, Sanders is leading in RI, but the NYT map has it shaded as Clinton lead.

This appears to fix itself when viewed from the zoomed-in perspective of another state.

[yourelection]

RI and CT might turn out to be Sanders bright spots tonight.
