  - Oh, that sounds like an awesome job/experience! Unrelated, but damn, R$81.7Million earned in RR3?! - The Real Death Sceire Apr 19, 19:17 1
    - there was one race that I'd do with the 100% bonus $ guy when I had daily %$ bonuses as well that would net like a million. it adds up quickly. - mafic Apr 19, 19:19
  - I feel like you made up at least two of those things. -- nm - Reagen Apr 19, 19:14 2

Bernie gave an hour long speech tonight in PA. CNN reporting the entire thing was an attack on Hillary. - MDH Apr 19, 19:02 6

  - I like the Democratic Party and am against anyone trying to sabotage it. He really needs to think tone from this point forward. -- nm - MDH Apr 19, 19:13 3
    - He's performing a valued service by pushing Hilary before the people who really hate her do. -- nm - David Apr 19, 19:14 2
      - Agreed. But at some point he needs to start campaigning *for* her so his supporters don't stay home in November - TWuG Apr 19, 19:16
      - Oh I agree. But there's a difference between pushing and spiteful rhetoric. -- nm - MDH Apr 19, 19:15
Ugh. Twitter just spoiled SHIELD for me. -- nm - Spawn Apr 19, 19:01 3

- The Brooklyn of DC. -- nm - Spawn Apr 19, 18:57 1

  - If the NY results hold (or near hold) and the 4/26 primaries run the same (aka if there is not NY Senator bias) there is a chance (outside) that he - ty97 Apr 19, 18:50 3
    - I don't think he drops out, even if he's eliminated. he'll campaign until the end, then flip at the convention. -- nm - mafic Apr 19, 19:03 1
      - I agree. My prediction has been that he stays in through 6/7 (California is that day and is, by far, the biggest Dem state) - ty97 Apr 19, 19:13
    - NY Senator bias? He was born there!! -- nm - Bacon Apr 19, 18:51
- Not surprised. Looking at result so far and where they have come from, I expect some tightening but would be shocked if it's below Clinton +10 or +12 -- nm - ty97 Apr 19, 18:43 3

This is hilarious -- (link) - ty97 Apr 19, 18:39 4
- Is that the house district that went 94/6 in 2012? -- nm - iSpam Apr 19, 18:43 2
  - I'm not familiar with that story, but the hilarious (to me) thing is that there are districts in the Bronx that have *less* GOP by percentage. -- nm - ty97 Apr 19, 18:44 1
    - It was on Planet Money a couple of weeks ago. They tried to find republicans in the district. -- nm - iSpam Apr 19, 18:45

Trump wins easily and exit polls (which should always be taking with a grain of salt) suggest an ugly night for Hillary -- (link) - ty97 Apr 19, 18:02 45
- Or we could wait for real numbers :) - iSpam Apr 19, 18:21 15

  - He's at defcon 52. He's incapable of waiting and must treat every nugget as something to be analyzed six ways from Sunday. -- nm - TWuG Apr 19, 18:23
  - Absolutely, as I said 'grain of salt' and if if if. Early numbers (very early) out of white areas of Sander-friendly Brooklyn - ty97 Apr 19, 18:22 1
    - . -- nm* - ty97 Apr 19, 18:23
  - 60-40 (HRC) so far -- nm - dj fingerblast Apr 19, 18:22 6

        I'm literally looking at the NY state site. Which would logically be behind other sources - ty97 Apr 19, 18:25 2
        
        Heh. -- nm - MDH Apr 19, 18:29
        
        Aha, they just updated and are at 14.7%. Still, want to know where those votes are from. - ty97 Apr 19, 18:28

      - *handwaving freakoutery* -- nm - Strongbad Apr 19, 18:13
- While disappointing compared to polls a 4 point win is still a win and a massive blow to Bernie's delegate count. His goal meant he needed to beat HRC -- nm - MDH Apr 19, 18:06 11
  - We need to wait to see the real result, but a Clinton +4 is a momentum/narrative win for Bernie. Very much so. - ty97 Apr 19, 18:08 10

        Bernie Sanders can be in my cabinet, because if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here. -- nm - President Ted Cruz Apr 19, 18:30
        
        Spin spin spin. Meanwhile, the math continues to favor Hillary. - TWuG Apr 19, 18:21 2
        
        Or start flipping the supers. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 19, 18:26 1
        
        That won't happen until he has the most pledged delegates. -- nm - TWuG Apr 19, 18:29
    - When a notable Hillary superdelegate switches sides, it's on. -- nm - Tim Apr 19, 18:09 1
