Until Louisville and Lexington report, it's gonna be pretty hard to call Kentucky. But honestly it looks like it's going to be Trump. I love my state, Kentucky kicks ass... But Kentucky also has done a horrible job with elections as of late.
[QUOTE=Biotoxsin;49875414]Caucused this afternoon for Sanders in Kansas, he won by a large margin in our precinct. It was an interesting experience.[/QUOTE]he just got called for Kansas instantly

Lexington and Louisville are cool but I'm from Somerset which doesn't offer much outside meth and a dirty lake.

[QUOTE=TheDestroyerOfall;49875088]sheesh, Kansas is taking a while to get in their dem votes.[/QUOTE] turnout was massive caucusing would have violated firecodes so they resorted to quickvote petitions
CNN just broadcasted Nebraska's incomplete results with 75% of precincts reporting. Sanders is up by roughly 9%. Edit- the media is now calling it for Sanders.
-snip late-
You guys sure love speculating over all this. Is there a group or something called "the black vote", or do all black people just unanimously vote for the same person? This speculation is retarded.

This speculation is retarded.[/QUOTE] Black vote is generally a news coined term but is an actual thing in the democratic party. The Dem's often will portray themselves as the voice of the minority, so an old white male being the head of the party going against the clinton name is stupid.
[QUOTE=mr apple;49875624]You guys sure love speculating over all this. Is there a group or something called "the black vote", or do all black people just unanimously vote for the same person? This speculation is retarded.[/QUOTE] Yes, black people do pretty much all vote for the same person. It's a fact.
[QUOTE=sgman91;49875639]Yes, black people do pretty much all vote for the same person. It's a fact.[/QUOTE] Yeah because they are a hive mind right?
The coined term "black vote" shouldn't be a thing, but it is very real. [editline]6th March 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Vilusia;49875646]Yeah because they are a hive mind right?[/QUOTE] No but a majority of results from exit polls and such prove it is a very real thing
Why is CNN saying Sanders won Kansas with 0.0% votes reporting?
[QUOTE=Vilusia;49875646]Yeah because they are a hive mind right?[/QUOTE] There's are reasons black people vote together. Whatever those reasons are makes them a cohesive unit that can correctly be identified as a generalized group.
Is it just the black vote that's a thing? Is there a white vote, asian vote, middle eastern vote? Or is it literally just that black vote that's a thing [editline]6th March 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=sgman91;49875663]There's are reasons black people vote together.

[QUOTE=mr apple;49875669]Is it just the black vote that's a thing? Is there a white vote, asian vote, middle eastern vote? Or is it literally just that black vote that's a thing[/QUOTE] I don't believe any other racial group votes as consistently as a single unit.
[QUOTE=mr apple;49875669]Is it just the black vote that's a thing? Is there a white vote, asian vote, middle eastern vote? Or is it literally just that black vote that's a thing[/QUOTE] There's a hispanic vote Asians are too small a group to matter and whites are too diverse to be grouped together.

[B]The Dem's often will portray themselves as the voice of the minority, so an old white male being the head of the party going against the clinton name is stupid.[/B][/QUOTE] Lmao nice passive aggressiveness. And I'm sure the republicans love a hate speech filled, racist, anti-party line demagogue to be heading their party in the polls right now.
Every time i hear black vote I cringe. It shouldnt be a thing and sounds racist.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;49875654]Why is CNN saying Sanders won Kansas with 0.0% votes reporting?[/QUOTE] You mean that thing they've done with almost every hillary won state so far? I'm not sure. When I asked that question I remember a response somewhere along the lines of "It is obvious they won, they just want to get that out before the detailed statistics".
[QUOTE=joshuadim;49875678]Lmao nice passive aggressiveness. And I'm sure the republicans love a hate speech filled, racist, anti-party line demagogue to be heading their party in the polls right now.[/QUOTE] Okay, then look at the turn out for bernie in some of the states demographics, like it or not the party needs a woman running for more votes. In a perfect world, that wouldn't be the case.
[QUOTE=Vilusia;49875693]Every time i hear black vote I cringe. It shouldnt be a thing and sounds racist.[/QUOTE] What would you like them to call the group of people who all have similar voting rationality and also have similar skin color?
[QUOTE=Vilusia;49875693]Every time i hear black vote I cringe. It shouldnt be a thing and sounds racist.[/QUOTE] Regardless what you would like, it is a term used broadly by the DNC and media.
[QUOTE=JohnFisher89;49875720]Okay, then look at the turn out for bernie in some of the states demographics, like it or not the party needs a woman running for more votes. In a perfect world, that wouldn't be the case.[/QUOTE] They don't vote based on gender, they vote based on name recognition. Clinton. Who else has the last name Clinton? Bill Clinton, one of our former presidents. Not hard to do the math when more people know about Clinton than Sanders, yet in many states they are neck to neck. So no, the party does not rely on a candidates gender to get votes.

[QUOTE=JohnFisher89;49875751]I'm not saying the name doesn't have effect, however using a woman president as leverage is also a unspoken thing the DNC is doing.[/QUOTE] And what proof do you have of this? Please, I would like sources or any statistical data that could back this up that the DNC is using Hillary's gender to get more votes. Otherwise, what you're claiming is baseless.

Otherwise, what you're claiming is baseless.[/QUOTE] I mean, Hillary has actively used her gender as a reason to vote for her already. The DNC might not be, but she definitely is.
[QUOTE=JohnFisher89;49875731]Regardless what you would like, it is a term used broadly by the DNC and media.[/QUOTE] And that makes it okay? There was a time when "whites only" was an acceptable term.
[QUOTE=sgman91;49875764]I mean, Hillary has actively used her gender as a reason to vote for her already. The DNC might not be, but she definitely is.[/QUOTE] I know Hillary does. But what JohnFisher is claiming is the DNC is doing this. I want sources to back up this claim he made.
so basically Sanders wins three small states and Clinton wins Louisiana. I can live with that
