Democratic MI/MS election results thread (first results @8pm ET)

Mississippi colleges are on Spring Break right now, a huge blow to Sanders, who was already barely going to get any votes.

Being expected to at least hit 40% according to most polling is an interesting defintion of "barely going to get any votes".

Sanders is going to hit 40% at Mississippi?
Are you drunk, stoned or both?

Desperation often looks like inebriation.

If Sanders wins Michigan, something funny is up. That really does not seem possible.

With so much of Wayne County still out, I can't see how that happens, though.

[DrScholl]

Something is not right...

I find it hilarious how some Hillbots here accuse Sandernistas of being conspiracy theorists. Granted, it's completely true, but they have nuts like Invisible Obama who literally can't comprehend Sanders winning without some sort of conspiracy going on.

Sanders leading in Wayne County makes no sense. It would be quite suspect if he carried that county considering that he has done horribly with the black vote so far.

It means miracles exist and magic is in the air.

Mmmhmmm, magic indeed.

This is disgusting, really disgusting. Not that it really matter, since Sanders is way behind in delegates, but it gives him an excuse to stay in the race repeating himself.

[DrScholl]

I refuse to believe that Bernie will win Wayne county.

Seriously? I thought you'd be ready to believe that in a second.

[DrScholl]

For the record, Invisible Obama, you're just as much of a blind believer as Jfern, and frankly, I'm not sure which of you is worse.

Why are you always talking to me? You said you had me on ignore.

This would actually only result in an even split of delegates and Sanders is still way behind in delegates. Clinton has over 1000 delegates all together and with this being a delegate game, even if Sanders does win Michigan, he won't get a delegate lead.

The problem is, Michigan throws into question Hillary's northern black support, plus polls in Ohio, Illinois and Missouri on March 15. If Sanders takes just one or two states that day, his narrative going into late March and April will be strong.

That's narrative, but in terms of delegates he is still far behind. It's hard to overcome a nearly 200 delegate deficit.

I’m looking on the Wayne County clerk’s website to try to get an idea of where the vote is being reported from in Wayne County. It seems, at least as of earlier this hour, that Detroit was at 0 percent. The nearly uniformly white areas of Grosse Pointe Shores and Plymouth were at 100 percent. In other words, the percentages coming out of Wayne County right now don’t really reflect how black areas are voting.

That was "earlier this hour". A lot has come in since then, and it's not closing.

Is there confirmation that Detroit has come in?

[DrScholl]

Wayne County is about to shatter Sanders dreams of winning Michigan.

[DrScholl]

That debate helped, he should be angry more often now.

He should take a swing at her in the next debate. I guarantee that would put him over the top in the next states by double digits.

Sanders is winning in Flint... absolutely devastating to Clinton. The water crisis was her signature issue from even last year.

Flint is still outstanding. There are a lot of votes outside of Flint in that county.

[DrScholl]

Sanders is holding a press conference just to repeat all the same things that he regularly.

[DrScholl]

I'm still not sure why people are ignoring the delegate math here. This does not close the gap for Sanders, not even close.

It plays out well for him in future states.

Winning by margins that only results in a splitting delegates does not make up the delegate gap.
