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

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)

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

can one of these supine journalists jump on stage and steal a bottle while he's talking?

i'll bet trump wine is great. the best. everyone loves it, and it brings people together.

he's gonna use unsold Trump wine to build his wall, it's gonna be so great, what a wall, damn

folks, you want to know about the wine? it's got a little cocaine in it, ok? it was my brother's idea. I looked at him like this and said, what? but he was right. he's always right. my brother is the smartest guy you'll ever meet. so I said fine, let's put cocaine in the wine. and you know what? it's beautiful. it's the greatest.

didn't know you lived here!

this doesn't seem like a good bet to me -- clinton now crushing him in wayne county with only 45% reporting

@mtaibbi
This is a hi-def preview of White House pressers in a year: incessant, inane gloating about the smoldering wreckage of Trump-foes...

(Taibbi is on record that DT is winning the election, and i'm more persuaded with each passing day, mostly bcz HRC)

ha, a few seconds later a comeback looks a lot more plausible

yeah, only 57% in.

it's my understanding that huge chunks of dearborn and detroit have not reported

yeah that sounded a lot to me. it was down to 81% at 10pm, but i think that's before wayne started announcing

NPR just played a soundbite: "Running for president isn't about providing insights... It's about getting results!"

Can someone plz interpret for Her Robotic Majesty? Is that a shot at Sanders' depth?

(don't know what to make of the weird sylLABles)

feels like Nevada deja vu

markets just flipped to 55% hilary when wayne announced
