Democratic Ides of March Tuesday results thread (first polls close at 7pm ET)

Is Bernie speeking at the moment?

Yes the corporate media is against him obviously.

The math is against him. It's going to be Trump vs. Clinton.

Sandernistas get aggressive when they lose, my FB list is FOAMING at the mouth right now over Sanders losses so far

I made a modest post on a Sanders group page about conceding defeat due to delegate math, and I was responded with all types of aggression ranging from passive-aggressive to high-school rejection antics.

I've gotten some of this as well :/ You say one little thing that is remotely not-pro-Sanders and all hell breaks loose.

Hillary only up eight in Cook County?  I wonder if that's because South Chicago is holding out.

St Louis not at all in MO.  Good for Clinton.

KC is barely in either. This should be very close.

It's in.  She WAY under performed in Cook.

Bernie has a good shot at taking Illinois.  The rest of the vote out should be favorable to him, except for East St Louis.

Clinton's vote share in MO should rise from here, just like it will continue to fall in IL as Cook county's relative weight falls.  Both will be close.

[Boston Bread]

Interesting that Clinton has a higher percentage in Ohio than NC

I doubt it ends that way when the counting ends. OH early/absentee vote was counted first and is always huge for Clinton.

You know what's left in Cook County?

Yes.  I'm watching the state house primaries and most of the districts on the Southside are all in.  There might be a little left but not much.

I'm convinced its Hillary for the D's. But I'm not too certain yet that Trump will be the R candidate.

Trump's goal right now is to win a plurality of the delegates going into the convention. If he doesn't he's not the nominee.

Could you shoot me a link to that? Also how did that race go that Obama did adds for?

[Yank2133]

I have no enthusiasm for Hillary at all. My only incentive to vote for her is to stop Trump.

She will lower turnout in the General.

Exactly. Many people who supported Bernie are going third party or not voting at all.


If Trump becomes president, I'm pointing the finger at Hillary's primary voters.

This right here is why progressives never accomplish anything.

Sadly I don't think Sanders can even salvage MO. Winning all but a few rural white counties didn't cut it for Clinton in 2008.

edit: hold on, CNN prediction only has Clinton at a 12% chance? Do they know something I don't?

On my phone now and hard to post link, but its the chicago tribunes election page. V easy to navigate. And Julianna Stratton (who obama did ads for) won easily.

I believe the prediction number on CNN is Clinton's yes share on PredictIt, which has a bunch of people selling and buying based on what's coming in.

Bernie's advance in MO is only growing. On the other hand, Hillary's in Illinois is growing as well.

[yourelection]

If my math is right, Clinton's pledged delegate lead will be over 300 by the end of the night.

[MasterJedi]

Sanderistas on reddit are saying the delegate math is in his favor and he's still on pace to win this easily. He's also going to win big in California and New York so everything is amazing! So much delusion!

[Gass3268]

Clinton won Mahoning County, OH (Youngstown) by 20%. Amazing, what is the difference between here and Michigan.

[Fuzzybigfoot]

Bernie takes the lead in DuPage County! 

[Wiz in Wis]

A lot of Bernie's part of MO is in... Still very little from St Louis/KC. Opposite in IL. Going to be razor thin in both... proportionally, Bernie is going to net nothing from either state.

Y'all should really stop going peeking on reddit. Even if you think it's funny, it actually hurts your brain.

Yes, I'm sure they can win New York after losing Ohio. lol

Not to mention, after tonight...IT WOULDN'T EVEN MATTER IF THEY DID!
