[QUOTE=woolio1;49848489]So what are we thinking? Has Sanders lost the race today?[/QUOTE] if he loses minnesota AND colorado yes probably. if he loses just one of those it's very hard if he wins both it's still hard. if he somehow comes back and wins massachusetts, minnesota, and colorado it still hard but empowering as shit.
[QUOTE=woolio1;49848489]So what are we thinking? Has Sanders lost the race today?[/QUOTE] He needs to win atleast two more states to be mathematically still in the race. Those can be masseschusets, minnesota, and colorodo. He already has vermont and oklahoma. If he doesn't win two of those states he is pretty much extremely unlikely to get the dnc nomination.
[QUOTE=woolio1;49848489]So what are we thinking? Has Sanders lost the race today?[/QUOTE] Pretty much, die hard supporters will follow him but the DNC is and will basically brush support off for him as hillary is nearly clean sweeping it.
[QUOTE=woolio1;49848489]So what are we thinking? Has Sanders lost the race today?[/QUOTE] He hasn't lost, I don't think, but he's facing even more of a struggle than he had been.
[QUOTE=woolio1;49848489]So what are we thinking? Has Sanders lost the race today?[/QUOTE] This is the current, please note that there will be more results soon. [img]http://puu.sh/nrE6b.png[/img]
[QUOTE=GarbageCan;49848493]"Die from embarrassment" clearly a realistic way to die I was suggesting.[/QUOTE] he's pointing out how most people and that person in particular like to spew stupid shit on Facepunch towards those with different opinions or opinions that go against the majority of people on the website.

Looks like Clinton vs Trump. Corporate shill vs Corporate Incarnate Welp it'll be schadenfreude to watch the US just become a corporatist state regardless of who wins now
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;49848560]Looks like Clinton vs Trump. Corporate shill vs Corporate Incarnate Welp it'll be schadenfreude to watch the US just become a corporatist state regardless of who wins now[/QUOTE] We tried. Oh well. I guess it will be interesting to see Trump rip Clinton to shreds with his straight talk boldness. After that perhaps we should try to convince Trudeau to build a wall.
So I got back from voting like 30 minutes ago and let me tell you something. I have never seen so many people at a caucus before. Took me 30 minutes to get to the location because of traffic. Vehicles were parked anywhere and everywhere they fit. Once you got inside and signed in, it took another hour to actually get to the point of casting a ballot. Logistical nightmare. They were not ready for the en masse of voters. Demographics were easy. 80% College aged kids, 15% over 50y/o, 5% in-between. Lots of diversity and there was extreme parity of people elected to officer/chair positions.

Sure he isn't in the position that we hoped for but don't give up so easily. It takes a lot to beat someone like Hillary so maintaining hope for him is important.

Someone voting an egomaniacal plutocrat to the most powerful office on Earth because funny man on TV says things that aren't PC is unforgivable ignorance.
I'm going to keep supporting Bernie and getting the word out for him in my area, though I will admit that with these results it is looking bleak. But I won't lose hope. There are still hundreds of delegates to be won and superdelegates to switch. Even though I live in one of the final voting states, I am still going to be voting for Bernie, no matter how he fares with previous states' delegates. If he even comes close to winning the nomination it will send a message that there is a growing group of people dissatisfied with the current state of our political system.
Prelim results from MN [url]https://twitter.com/jpcoolican/status/704862168848531456[/url] Sanders 58, Clinton 42 Rubio 36, Cruz 29, Trump 20

It would be just as inaccurate to say that trump hates Mexicans and is the second coming of hitler.

Either way I'm not voting for Clinton at any point, primary or general election. She's a shit candidate like Trump, Rubio, and Cruz.

Hell, since I absolutely despise both of them, I plan on voting for John McAfee.
