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

Am I the only one who has been surprised the polls have been showing this so close? Wisconsin seems like a tailor made state for Bernie, except for the fact that it's a primary rather than a caucus. Even then, it's an open primary.

It's still very possible the polls were junk and he'll win in a blowout, but if this is a single digit race...any theories?

All contests should be primaries and they should be open to anyone. Closed primaries are just as undemocratic as caucuses.

It opens you up to ratfyucking though. Imagine if Trump ran in 2012 when Obama was unopposed. Dems would've been crossing over en masse to support him.

I think people are missing the big picture here - The Dem base is becoming much more liberal & progressive & the entire country is to an extent. It is a shift!

I mean this has nothing to do with Sanders or anyone1 - But strong Progressive candidates would do well in the future as well!

Yeah... You hope.  Hillary and her establishment cronies can certainly throw a wrench into all that in a hurry, though.  They'll pretend to be leftists if that what's necessary.  Hopefully Obama continues to be the de facto leader of the Democrats.

You can't seriously believe Obama is significantly more liberal than Hillary...

Hillary can't be dumb enough to go ultra negative here. What's to gain?

She somehow thinks that everyone magically comes together after the convention and votes for the Democratic nominee, no matter how much they disagree with the nominee on their views and the gutter primary campaign they ran.

lol, your delusion is hilarious. Hillary has treated Bernie with kid gloves.

I really doubt you'd feel the same if it was the other way around. There's already been a lot of damage to the party done.

It could've gotten far, far, far uglier on both sides. Yes, there have been attacks back and forth, but it's remarkably civil compared to the Republican race or even the 08 Dem race.

Buffalo County randomly flipped to Hillary. lol
