Il Douché and His Discontents: The 2016 Primary Voting Thread, Part 4

Sanders appears to be doing fairly well so far in Michigan, possible upset?

― Check Yr Scrobbles (Moodles),

A few counties don't close until 9 p.m.

hillary campaign was managing expectations today

not much reporting from detroit yet:

"DON-DAY E-STA MARCO?"

Wish I could say I was surprised.

He's the sort of guy to whom you gave noogies.

^word for word what I told a friend two weeks ago

i know detroit hasn't reported in yet so that will change things pretty dramatically, but bernie's up 51-48 in MI so far. polls had hillary up by a wide margin so this is kind of surprising.

yeah who knows whether it'll hold but clearly the polls were off on the dem side

I'm curious: what sort-of candidate could the ILX collective get behind? The only person I can imagine is des Esseintes from À rebours.

if he comes in below the threshold to get _any_ delegates in MI or MS then i guess it's not out of the question that he could go before florida

clearly the polls were off

Or partly late campaigning payoff?

paul o'neill endorsement for trump

clearly the polls were off

it would be quite the late swing! 538's polls-only average was clinton 59-38

wonder who al leiter's endorsing

trump is out there plugging his golf courses

Closest Sanders ever was in the last couple of months was ten points down:

why the f you lying
why you always lying

omg trump has a merch table next to the podium

my kids are in hysterics

does he have his latest album on vinyl?

Quick somebody wake up Fredrick

being the president of the united states is a serious thing! trump is all about himself and this is embarrassing

xxp yup, and his "little marco" ep

bernie's up 51-47, 32% in

if detroit votes haven't been counted yet, that count will reverse itself quickly, i would guess

i mean he's like a drunk uncle giving a toast ffs

LOL

Some senators simply said they would support whoever won the nomination. Others smiled wanly, as if wishing they had superpowers that could remove them from the scene.

“It’s, uh, well, look at the alternatives,” Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona said when asked if his party could rally around Mr. Cruz at some juncture.

exit polls (small sample size obv) show sanders doing really respectably among blacks (32%) and neck and neck with clinton with women

if detroit votes haven't been counted yet, that count will reverse itself quickly, i would guess

this is the page to watch (detroit is wayne county). bernie's keeping it respectable in the counties clinton figured to blow him out in (though it's still early)

https://twitter.com/GPollowitz/status/707370531293634560

Wayne County (201 of 999 precincts reporting)
Clinton leads 52.8% to 46.3%

Oakland Cty (434 of 520 reporting)
Clinton leads 50.4-47.9

Macomb Cty (46 of 337 reporting)
Cliton leads 48.7-47.0

538 says: "I’m looking on the Wayne County clerk’s website to try to get an idea of where the vote is being reported from in Wayne County. It seems, at least as of earlier this hour, that Detroit was at 0 percent. The nearly uniformly white areas of Grosse Pointe Shores and Plymouth were at 100 percent. In other words, the percentages coming out of Wayne County right now don’t really reflect how black areas are voting."

not surprising that underserved areas might be taking longer to come in. v close race in MI.

"more presidential than anybody but the great Abe Lincoln, he was very presidential"

wow. I have some hope for our FL primary next week then (if my fuckin' absentee ballot ever shows up)

is it normal for press conferences to be packed with supporters? or is this a rally with a press conference tacked on? has anyone else done this? it's kind of brilliant because he gets to answer relatively tough questions (every once in a while, at least) and then have his supporters cheer his answers on national tv

trump rallies, it's clear, are orgies of sycophancy

does trump really think he's going to win NY and Illinois in the general bc he owns properties there or is he just spouting state names and the word "win" in random order

wow. I have some hope for our FL primary next week then (if my fuckin' absentee ballot ever shows up)
