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

jeez, even the usually sober Talking Points Memo has bought into the cable news/advertising twaddle that Cruz's two wins are a "major upset."

God, this press conference and Christie's face in Trump's ass

Clinton pulling away in MA now
My sense is that, unless Sanders did really well in Worcester, the state is probably hers?

hasn't been called by anyone yet. boston is about 83% in and there's still a lot of boonies (which should be good for bernie) at 0%

#bernies you mean

This has to be a demoralizing nightmare for 97% of the (phantom?) Republican establishment: they now have to choose between Trump or Cruz. That's all that left.

are there Mexicans in Hawaii

more lately (~25 years), but hawaii is a dem machine state and i'm p sure its republican primary base is embattled-feeling whites and a handful of rich asians. from a political perspective the black population is zero. we also have unusually low turnout (for america!) which i guess is bad for trump if it continues, but this is a weird year.

"ted cruz is having his victory party at the redneck country club.. that's the name of it, don't get mad at me for saying it"

Not only is it real, it's in my hometown, next to a Waffle House, an off-brand motel (used to be a LA Quinta), and a WalMart. The owner is a local Right Wing douchecanoe radio guy.

what's (# of republican primary voters)/(# of 2012 romney voters), there's still not concrete evidence that Hiterline demagoguery plays for more than somewhere less than 50% of the GOP primary electorate

I think the Republican establishment will vote for HRC

xps

in other news the hawaii elections website is not accepting any combination of the inscrutable and unlabeled numbers on my driver's license

I meant "Hitlerine" not "Hitlerline" neither of which is a word but oh well

Re:Rubio in Austin--it's probably down to Young Repubs at UT and surrounding schools for whom Trump & Cruz are too mersh.

Cruz openly calling for Rubio/Kasich/Carson to throw in with him, also quoting Democratic presidents.

Trump and Cruz at the top, amazing

you misspelled "horrifying"

well, that too

Cruz is such a maniac

"Abolish the IRS"

I voted (in MA) with my seven yr old niece in tow. We then went to the pizzeria around the corner and ordered a large pie to bring home. After 20-25 minutes the pizza was ready and we walked out. A few seconds later, as we're crossing the street, a car crashed into the pizzeria we just left. At the time I thought a bomb had gone off. According to the news later two people were killed, three in critical condition. They haven't released the names of the victims yet, but there's a less than remote chance they're neighbors or people connected to my kids' high school. We got home, ate pizza, and I sat down to be comforted by the sight of Trump & Christie carrying on like Prez & VP. Strange evening.

Sorry, this is neither here nor there, but I needed to share. Carry on.

jesus christ dude i'm glad you guys are ok

holy shit, man! same...

Jesus, that's terrifying. Glad you're okay.

HEY GUYS TOM DELAY

Van Jones and Trump's guy having a really heated argument on CNN. (Glad you're okay, collardio.)

dude i was just reading about that crash! scary shit, glad you're ok.

thanks everyone.

Holy shit! Glad u are okay! Kinda a miracle

goddamn, glad you're safe

OTM

rubio in the lead in MN! if he doesn't drop out of the race after tnite...

Vermont otm imo

boston is 98% in and bernie's down by about 27.5k votes

looks like fox called MA for hillary

Clinton-Trump feels as predestined as a Wrestlemania match.

clinton / hulk and trump / andre?

I wrote a letter to the local newspaper today, urging Sanders to continue his campaign, regardless of his chance at the nomination. It isn't as if he is bashing Hillary with a sledge hammer and hurting her chances in November. He's running a remarkably positive campaign based on his own set of issues, which I think need a good airing out.

There will be plenty of time for kissy-face and marching in step after all the votes are in.

Rubio had a great night, just ask him.

Bernie folks on FB talking about how Bill Clinton campaigned in front of a polling place in MA?

bill clinton just needs to be locked in a room with a couple tubs of primal strips and his presidential library of erotica

gabbard on msnbc

so when mitch and the boys try to differentiate themselves from trump's republicans, how will they do it/what name will they use?

the american freedom party is a white supremacist group, so that's *probably* off-limits

Colorado called for Bernie

clinton v trump wrestlemania in cyberspace will be the most vaporwave presidential race ever

rubientum in minnesota!

looking like bernie's gonna lose mass by about 2%

ben carson vows to stay in the race

this rly is the most fucked up scenario for the gop, trump takes the lion's share of delegates, cruz and and rubio get "wins" and feel emboldened to stick around a while longer. and ben carson doesn't give. a. fuck.

And Kasich won't leave until Ohio--there was a state tonight (Vermont?) Rubio might have won absent Kasich.

it's the besssssst scenario xp

All the more reason for dems to want sanders to stay in. If he drops out then the gop dominates the news until they all withdraw, which is how trump is winning that race in the first place.

looking like bernie's gonna lose mass by about 2%
