Stupor Tuesday results

I felt so dirty voting for Trump, but the entertainment of a continued Trump candidacy was just too good to pass up.

Bernie might actually win Michigan!

It's going to be really close once the rest of the Obam...err...Clinton vote gets in from Wayne County.

I do not know why black people keep voting for her.

GET WITH THE PROGRAM, BLACK PEOPLE!

You don't feel dirty, you feel great! It's great! It's amazing, it's awesome! And voting Trump makes you great and America great and - I promise you - he will be a great president.


/Trump impression.

I felt like drawing a squiggly outside the bubble, but didn't know if the machine would (or could) take it.

whoa, yeah, if most of Wayne Co. hasn't been counted yet (I assumed with 67% in now, most of it was) then he's in trouble.

Hey, Nate Silver. Come at me bro.

CNN just projected Bernie Sanders.

 

[sggatecl]

Michigan just gave a collective 'fuck you' to both political parties.

GET WITH THE PROGRAM, BLACK PEOPLE!

The majority of black people over the age of 50 believe that Americans actually never walked on the moon.

The majority of black people under the age of 50 believe that Bill Clinton actually was the first black president.

That's why.

Is this the result that fuels him the rest of the way? He was supposed to lose this state by 15-20 percent.

 

[TheVictors]

IDK ....Bernie carried Colo because FUCK THIS SHIT!!!!! but I get the impression 99% of his voters will go Billary in the general election.

 

[sggatecl]

Looking at CNN's map, Hillary sure does well in states that never vote blue in the general election. But it looked like she only has wins in two blue states and both by less than 2%. What a weird way to win a nomination.

Agreed, especially when you look at the likely Republican choice. I think more significant than anything for Dems (regardless of whether nor not Bernie wins): there's a place in the mainstream Democratic Party for actual bold liberal ideas (regarding health care, public education, paid FML, etc.). Clinton (her candidacy, and possible eventual presidency) will suffer if she doesn't take notice.

Dems can always count on votes by promising more free shit. Open your wallets!

Hey, Nate Silver. Come at me bro.

I was reading 538 earlier and they had Sanders with like a 1% chance to win MI, polling around 38% compared to Billary's 50+%, but to Nate Silver's credit he said he had a gut feeling Bernie would do much better than projected. THe pollsters need to re-evaluate their technique.

it looks like he pulled in somewhere around 1/3 of the vote in Wayne County, which is a good sign for him. In the Southern states, the black vote is going overwhelmingly to Billary. He needs the black vote, and can't win without it.

 

[Spartanmack]

the idea that the New Deal/War on Poverty programs of giving the unemployed, and employed-but-still-poor & their children the money they need to buy food, shelter, basic goods, etc created poverty does not warrant a response.

that's the best you got? can't defend a failed policy so you just dismiss it offhand? you do realize that programs like welfare and public housing were supposed to be temporary assistance to help able bodied people get back on their feet and back to supporting themselves? of course its been a total failure as it is just a massive contributor to a never ending cycle of poverty. and of course, you're happy to condemn generation after generation to that life, because you need a permanently poor class to push your statist agenda.

What free shit? I pay so much in fucking taxes it makes we want to throw tea over the side of a boat but whose getting free shit? You don't mean food stamps, do you?

And it's simpler than that ...it's the Economy, stupid and the economy is good. People will say the love Bernie and others will applaud Trumps bombastic ways but when the curtain is closed, a lot will vote Clinton because she's the closest thing in terms of policy to the status quo and things just aren't that bad these days.
