[QUOTE=wystan;49989031]Explains Trump's success then, think he did it with literally only white males? Also an article by Nate Silver, that's cute, his hate-boner for Trump is worst than FP's.[/QUOTE]
What? Nate Silver is a statistician, his job is to provide unbiased numbers. His numbers just reflect poorly on Trump. And yes, he is mostly doing it with white males. Like, overwhelmingly majority white males. FiveThirtyEight is one of the most reliable sources, they gather unbiased polls done by professionals and use them to gauge numbers on the electorate. Go to politico, cookpolitics, etc. They'll all tell you the same thing as FiveThirtyEight. Look at the results on Ballotpedia if you must. Trump doesn't perform well.
Trump is a uniter, he will win.
EDIT: New York Times call Utah for Sanders.
[quote]Trump is a uniter, he will win.[/quote]
The only thing he's done so far with my vote is divide it. I just can't look past his stance on torture and he just doesn't appeal to me on the medical front, which is my vote's big ticket issue.
I'm sure there's some appeal in Trump for me - I'm having a hard time finding it though.

This is wrong no matter how much he says it. He can't even unite his own party.
If nothing else, I'd be cool for morale if Sanders could make Clinton non-viable in Utah and Idaho.
CNN has called Utah for Sanders

He has united a large group of Americans in one aspect: Most of us fucking hate him. [QUOTE=Firgof Umbra;49989092]The only thing he's done so far with my vote is divide it.

The only appeal he has for me is that he most certainly won't try to shred the second amendment. But that won't get me voting for him. I know that any attempt Sanders makes at disarming the general public won't go anywhere, Congress will stop it cold every time, and Sanders is far better at the bulk of the issues I care about than anyone else in the race.
If I could choose one, it'd be Bernie. I'd almost rather have an empty Oval Office if the choice comes down to Hilary v Trump.
Bernie is gonna win every state from here on out! Lmao fuck i couldnt type that with a straight face. I want him to win so badly im ready to check Shillary "WALL STREET" Clinton on my ballot
Sander's campaign manager smell something fishy in Arizona.

Ya know, its kinda funny- people have been making fun of bernie supporters in this thread and so many others, and yet its the Trump supporters who seem to be in the most denial (both in terms of his policies and his numbers). Of course, the media certainly presents it as though he's a given, so I can't fault people for thinking that, but upon looking at numbers its pretty clear that the only reason Trump has done so well is because the GOP votes were split up so much. I suspect much less Trump Turnout by the time of the convention, with Cruz taking the nomination instead (and probably losing to Hilary, but who knows at this point)
That margin in Utah is phenomenal.
How are some of these states so polarized that margins this large can appear within a single party?!

That's just how our political system has ended up. 40+ years of the same bullshit with different food dye has made people so fed up that they're latching onto anything that isn't more of the same. It's likely why Trump's doing so well in the primaries despite being almost universally hated. He isn't [i]one of them[/i].
It's amusing in a sick way that the states that predominantly voted heavily Clinton were part of the Confederate.

"I think something is wrong"
"Why?"

What the fuck is that

Probably because of the Mormons preferring Sanders over Hillary, and Cruz over the others.

That's because majority of the black vote, which the south heavily is demographically, is supporting her?
Rather shit attempt as pegging her supporters as racist.

That wasn't supposed to come across as racist.
Full of uninformed and backwards people, however . . . . well, I'll leave that for interpretation.

So far his victories haven't been that really impressive, all the votes were split more or less among the republican candidates. The only state that he did really well was Massachusetts with 49%
He will need to pull big victories in the upcoming states if he wants to do well in the general election.

The south has a high population of Black voters which predominantly vote Hillary.

Sanders is much more staunch about gay rights than Hillary, which is very much not what the Mormon church endorses.
It's largely because of the massive voter turnout of college students and younger voters, which are more in favor of his policies. He also visited yesterday.
As said earlier, we had such a large turnout, many places had multiple hour long lines, and ran out of ballots.
The real scary thing is that Trump will definitely be running again in 2020 regardless of the outcome of this election.

A lot of candidates that lose tend to run twice or three times. Some, like Nixon, even make win on the second attempt.
Though it'll be difficult for Trump to oust an incumbent.

That's true, I forgot about that. I was making a baseless assumption.
[QUOTE=OvB;49989215]That's true, I forgot about that. I was making a baseless assumption.[/QUOTE]
We're a state where gay rights have been a very difficult fight, so a lot of the young voters want someone who is really strong about it.
We also have a really bad pollution issue, which Sanders supports attempts to fix.
There's also some fracking policy that applies, but Gay marriage is a big one.

Yeah I had an epiphany one day realising:
"Oh shit this is all going to happen again in 2020 but at a much larger scale"
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;49989274]Paving the way for Bernie 2020, huh :v:[/QUOTE]
Well, Hillary lost in 2008, and she's running now I guess? I don't think Bernie would try again in 2020, but it's not like establishing your name is a bad thing.
Are there only 24000 Democrat voters in Idaho?
