If Hilary becomes President, does she offer Sanders a position in her cabinet? -- nm - amoxy Feb 1, 20:10 20
- If he keeps performing like this, I think he gets offered one should he want it. - ty97 Feb 1, 20:12
- No. He's more important in the Senate. -- nm - TWuG Feb 1, 20:11 17
  - Warren fills that role easily enough, and is arguably more appealing in it. -- nm - znufrii Feb 1, 20:14
  - Yeah, just like I hope she doesn't take Elizabeth Warren out of the Senate -- nm - amoxy Feb 1, 20:12 15
    - She's running as a centrist for the general, which makes sense, but she needs to find a way to keep the progressive base happy and energized too. - ty97 Feb 1, 20:14 14
      - See, I think Sanders is more than happy to concede and then stump for her. - TWuG Feb 1, 20:20 12
        
        I think he would happily do it, but how do you get his supporters happy with it. -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 20:21 11
        
        I will personally punch them in the face. -- nm* - znufrii Feb 1, 20:29
        
        They follow his lead, how else? - TWuG Feb 1, 20:22 6
        
        But intimating that he'll be an important part of her admin can help motivate. - ty97 Feb 1, 20:23 5
        
        The carrot is "she's not a batshit fucking insane Republican" -- nm - TWuG Feb 1, 20:24 4
        
        Not sure that's enough for some. -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 20:29 3
        
        I remember hearing the same thing for Obama v Clinton - Reagen Feb 1, 20:46
        
        *Shrug* - amoxy Feb 1, 20:31 1
        
        November is a game of turnout -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 20:36
        
        (I mean the young ones who are all-in on Bernie and are going to be surprised/crushed when he does not win the nomination) -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 20:22 1
        
        trigger warning! - mr. plow Feb 1, 20:23
        
        they may be dumb but they're not stupid -- nm - mr. plow Feb 1, 20:22
      - where else are they going to go? - mr. plow Feb 1, 20:16
- Secretary of Hairstyles -- nm - Bacon Feb 1, 20:11
Is there any site that is showing vote totals rather than %s? -- nm - GregW Feb 1, 20:07 6
- The Dem caucus doesn't work that way. They win delegates, so I don't think vote numbers of published in this case. -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 20:08 4
  - You can sort of extrapolate. She's won the biggest counties 53-47. -- nm - MDH Feb 1, 20:09 3
    - But wouldn't those counties have more delegates? So the delegate count (sans the superdelegates) should be representative, no? -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 20:19 2
      - no - mr. plow Feb 1, 20:20 1
        
        This. She won one area by 9% meaning she gets one more than 50% of delegates. -- nm - MDH Feb 1, 20:21
- The democrats don't release the raw numbers. -- nm - pmb Feb 1, 20:07
I love how hard the CNN anchors are making it out like there's an actual fight going on. -- nm - MDH Feb 1, 20:06 8
- she's barely going to win - mr. plow Feb 1, 20:09 7
  - read this earlier: basically, why demographics and delegate numbers are against Sanders. -- (link) - mafic Feb 1, 20:30 2
    - sure, but given those inherent advantages, she would liked to have done better than one point -- nm - mr. plow Feb 1, 20:37 1
      - more that Bernie has an inherent advantage in Iowa and NH. they're likely to be his strongest showings. elsewhere... less so. -- nm - mafic Feb 1, 21:17
  - There's actual upside to this: Six months ago she felt preordained, which was not a good look. -- (edited) - ty97 Feb 1, 20:16 1
    - That, too. -- nm - TWuG Feb 1, 20:21
  - Iowa and NH are Sander's best cases. If he wins SC, that'll be something. - TWuG Feb 1, 20:13
  - Oh I mean in the long run. It's not embarrassing at all, Iowa was one of 5 or so states Bernie had a chance in. This hurts. -- nm - MDH Feb 1, 20:12
boy I misread this as something awfully vulgar -- nm - Max Feb 1, 20:06
