AP calls California for Bernie. He holds Texas, he’s still big dog. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 3, 20:05 2
- Depends on math. If total in Texas holds he nets only a handful of more delegates. I expect them to be near to tied in delegates by night's end. -- nm - JackDawson Mar 3, 20:07 1
  - Yeah. Biden probably hoped for a bit better than Sanders +15 in California though -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 20:11
Bloomberg! -- (link) - ty97 Mar 3, 20:05
Sanders filing an emergency injunction to keep California polls open 2 more hours. LA area possibly only? -- nm* - Bacon Mar 3, 20:03
What concerns me is that Bernie is winning on the west which is where the future of the Democratic Party is -- nm - JackDawson Mar 3, 20:03 8
- He’s 78...this is his last rodeo. Is AOC ready for that mantle? - Will Hunting Mar 3, 20:05
- I'm okay with that. Let's get a progressive who doesn't have the socialism baggage and can be a team player next time we need a nominee. - ty97 Mar 3, 20:04 6
  - I mean that will those people stay home and ruin chances in states that could be must win like AZ -- nm - JackDawson Mar 3, 20:06 1
    - NBC polling says that the single biggest consideration of dem voters was who they think can beat Trump. Sharing views was only cited by about 1/3 of - pmb Mar 3, 20:12
  - I agree with 44. (is CA a WTA state? no, correct?) -- nm - amanda Mar 3, 20:05 3
    - The Dems have no winner take all states. -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 20:05 2
      - Everything is proportional. Some delegates awarded at statewide level, some at congressional delegate level. - ty97 Mar 3, 20:10
      - are you sure? -- nm - Reagen Mar 3, 20:06
Polls are closed in California, and exit poll has him up comfortably--15 points or so -- (link) - ty97 Mar 3, 20:03 2
- Might be closed...stay tuned -- nm - Bacon Mar 3, 20:03
- (him = Sanders obviously) -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 20:03
NBC calls MA for Biden (that would have been unthinkable a few days ago) -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 20:00 9
- Remember, Dems have no winner take all states, it's all proportional, so the %s matter, who 'wins' is just a talking point/headline - ty97si Replying to ty97 Mar 3, 20:02
- If you told him this result this morning, he’s let cry malarkey and let lose the dogs of befuddlement. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 20:02
- Bloomberg projecting under 15% in CA - Reagen Mar 3, 20:01 5
  - That's $63.2 million down the drain. - David Mar 3, 20:06 4
    - Speaking of, I’m doing this from my car on the side of I-40...can you give me hand changing this tire? 😀 -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 20:07
    - Hey, Dolittle did worse. -- nm - Max Mar 3, 20:07
    - Eh, it's a tax write off -- nm - Bloomberg Mar 3, 20:07 1
      - Or a rounding error -- nm - JD Mar 3, 20:08
- Wow -- nm - Bacon Mar 3, 20:01
Bernie got Utah -- nm - Bacon Mar 3, 19:55 5
- as expected -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 19:56 4
  - Remember, Dems have no winner take all states, it's all proportional, so the %s matter, who 'wins' is just a talking point/headline - ty97 Mar 3, 19:57 3
    - Correct...but...the public will wake up and read Biden wins # states and Sanders wins # states. - Bacon Mar 3, 20:00 2
      - Then this story is over tonight. It’s a monster Biden night. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 20:02
      - oh yeah, as I said it matters for headlines. Who 'wins' a state can mean diddly for delegate purposes though - ty97 Mar 3, 20:02
A -- nm - anniebecca Mar 3, 19:51 3
- Also screaming babies can all go fuck themseleves as can their parents for bringing them -- nm - anniebecca Mar 3, 19:52 2
  - I do love the Disney fans who are willing to have and share these thoughts - JD Mar 3, 20:06
  - "Uh ... alright. That was reporter Bob Eaker, reporting from Drunkseyworld." -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 20:06
Thirteen + five minutes to see if Ty is right about California -- nm* - Bacon Mar 3, 19:47 2
- As I said, I'd be surprised if it isn't called immediately (or within 5 minutes at most). - ty97 Mar 3, 19:50
- *punches a hippie* -- nm - Cliff Booth Mar 3, 19:49
But yeah rise of the resistance is the greatest experience ever bar none. Flight of passage Thursday though and I hear that is fantastic too -- nm - anniebecca Mar 3, 19:47 3
- Tomorrow is day one for Runaway Railway. -- nm - David Mar 3, 19:47 2
  - Yeah we saw workers with tickets for it but the park was in.sane -- nm - anniebecca Mar 3, 19:49 1
    - Our second day at HW Studios was better cause we skipped the smugglers run line and just did Star tours a bunch of times instead -- nm - anniebecca Mar 3, 19:50
Today was foot rest day and lady we travel with got loooooooooaded....which was great cause distracts from my drunkwnness -- nm - anniebecca Mar 3, 19:45
criteria needed to be VP. smart, not over 50, good rep, no hidden scandals, top 40 DC lawyer list 2020… what else? -- nm* - Peglegpete Mar 3, 19:43 3
- Hot dad bod. -- nm - Qale Mar 3, 19:45 1
  - damn!! -- nm - JackDawson Mar 3, 19:51
- pence is under 50?!?!? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 19:44
Sanders speech was trash. - Jovian Mar 3, 19:39 2
- he stated he has integrity and convictions and he's not a half assed republican -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 3, 19:54
- I like his policies a lot. Biden did well though -- nm - JackDawson Mar 3, 19:51
But who won American Samoa? Could tip the race -- nm - JackDawson Mar 3, 19:34 5
- guam went to Bloomberg but iirc samoa doesn't get any ??? -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 3, 19:40
- The Rock -- nm - David Mar 3, 19:35 3
  - *swings a car by a rope onto the island* -- nm - Vin Diesel Mar 3, 19:42
  - No, he won American Sam-wah. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 19:37
  - *participates in a haka* -- nm - Tom Steyer Mar 3, 19:36
Listening to Biden right now, my biggest concern is that he has a massive aphasia attack on stage. -- nm - Reagen Mar 3, 19:33 1
- twirling, twirling ... -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 19:35
Everyone wonders what dampens my optimism. It's when democrats have a candidate like Elizabeth Warren and won't vote for her. - David Mar 3, 19:32 44
- Thoughts, probably oversimplified. - znufrii Mar 3, 20:07
- She'll make an excellent Cabinet official. Which is where she belongs. - ML Mar 3, 19:54 8
  - we couldn't possibly have a more different read on her - Reagen Mar 3, 19:56 7
    - The good news is that my read seems more in tune with the electorate. - ML Mar 3, 20:02 4
      - as others have pointed out, for the most depressing and frustrating of reasons. -- nm - Reagen Mar 3, 20:05 3
        
        Because Democratic primary voters are sexist pigs? - ML Mar 3, 20:08 2
        
        They don't have to be pigs to be sexist. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 20:10
        
        Some are, yes. Some are gunshy about Hillary losing and focus that on her gender. -- nm - Reagen Mar 3, 20:10
    - The last word of your IM -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 19:57 1
      - Heh. Also, that's depressing. -- nm - David Mar 3, 20:00
- She ran a poor campaign. She chose to hitch herself to Bernie’s platform. How she thought she could take that lane over him I don’t know. He has a - pmb Mar 3, 19:48 5
  - But again, that's an indictment of voters, not here. There was a clear choice this election cycle, and she's gonna finish like fifth. -- nm - David Mar 3, 19:49 4
    - I disagree. She didn’t settle on a message and didn’t convey it well. And I don’t think it’s an indictment of voters to not be sold on her agenda. - pmb Mar 3, 19:54
    - 5th? Are we talking overall or just in Massachusetts? - Will Hunting Mar 3, 19:53 2
      - She is gonna finish 3rd in her HOME state and 5th in the state where she was born - eag Mar 3, 19:55
      - No, it's them. -- nm - David Mar 3, 19:55
- The Pocahontas shit stings her. It’s an easy attack that gets to short-cuts. - Will Hunting Mar 3, 19:42 9
  - She's someone who legitimately has plans to improve the quality of life for all Americans. Name five candidates in your lifetime who could say that. - David Mar 3, 19:47 3
    - MFA is a huge issue. Her changing course on it in the middle of a crowded primary is just indefensible. What does she stand for? - Will Hunting Mar 3, 19:51
    - It drives me batty. Almost as batty as it drives wiggie. - ty97 Mar 3, 19:48 1
      - Bernie's like 70% of her -- which is still pretty good -- but people want the lesser version. - David Mar 3, 19:51
  - She's got those two weaknesses. Bernie has the socialism, which is a stupid attack but that's where America is right now, and Biden has Hunter. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 19:43 4
    - Hunter should be such a non-story given Trump had to gift his son in law clearances to solve the MidEast. Hunter was wrong but he’s the Tiffany of - Will Hunting Mar 3, 19:46
    - Yeah, that Biden baggage could be bad if he gets the nom. -- nm - Bacon Mar 3, 19:44 2
      - Especially when compared to the pristine examples set by Ivanka, Don Jr, and Fake Shemp -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 19:48 1
        
        Oh I get it, but somehow Trump takes shit he does himself but pastes the other person with it and it sticks more to them. - Bacon Mar 3, 19:50
- As an outside observer ... yes. But I do understand the reluctance to go two for two, when there's two hundred years of white guy history. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 19:35 2
  - White guys have lost every Presidential race but one.* -- (edited) - David Mar 3, 19:35 1
    - Sure, but try telling THEM that -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 19:36
- I agree. -- nm - Marlowe Mar 3, 19:34
- the typical takedown against great female candidates: "She's boring" "too professorial." - JackDawson Mar 3, 19:33 13
  - People think those descriptors apply to Warren? -- nm - Max Mar 3, 19:35 10
    - professorial was more accurate 4 years ago, probably. she's gotten a lot better since she decided to run for president. -- nm - znufrii Mar 3, 19:44 1
      - I don't say it as dig or a negative! (for me at least) -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 19:47
    - If I saw her talk, knowing nothing about her, and you asked me her profession I'd probably say 'college professor' - ty97 Mar 3, 19:37 3
      - I can agree that she lectures, but Buttigieg sounds more like a professor to me, and she's not Bloomberg boring. -- nm - Max Mar 3, 19:41
      - I would go for boring right now. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 3, 19:39 1
        
        Oh I think she's brilliant, I think she explains her ideas well for people to understand. We are unfortunately in a reality TV oriented world - ty97 Mar 3, 19:44
    - My BF told me that about her and I didn't speak to him for a day. -- nm - JackDawson Mar 3, 19:35 2
      - "Welcome to Dumpville. Population: You." -- nm - David Mar 3, 19:36 1
        
        Yup. Welcome to "Sleeping on the couchville" -- and when he said he was supporting Bernie?! UGH -- nm - JackDawson Mar 3, 19:52
    - To quote a professor, "Oh my, yes." -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 19:35
  - "not that one either." -- nm - znufrii Mar 3, 19:34 1
    - We will never achieve our full potential until we can get past the sexism that women and men almost equally peddle -- nm - JackDawson Mar 3, 19:35
Also god damn the Star Wars world is fantastic. Amazing -- nm - anniebecca Mar 3, 19:30 2
- We thought it could of been bigger, but leave people wanting more I guess -- nm - anniebecca Mar 3, 19:31 1
  - They wanted Disneyland's to be the same size. There are plans already out there for a Hollywood Studios expansion. - David Mar 3, 19:33
Question: any of the usual swing states have primaried yet? Those are the ones I want to see if one or another energize the base. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 3, 19:28 9
- Minnesota went for Clinton over Trump but not by tons, and it is akin in many ways to Wisconsin and Michigan which flipped to Trump. - ty97 Mar 3, 19:36 2
  - Very informative post thank you -- nm - Bacon Mar 3, 19:38
  - Thanks for the comprehensive answer. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 3, 19:38
- NH, NV, NC, VA have all been swing states recently - Reagen Mar 3, 19:30
- Minnesota tonight, not sure if that was a swing last election or the one before. Florida in 2 weeks. -- nm - Bacon Mar 3, 19:30 4
  - Minnesota has the longest string of being Democratic of any state. - Will Hunting Mar 3, 19:32 3
    - Except it's also narrowing -- nm - JackDawson Mar 3, 19:33 1
      - I want to see a party win once before I’ll say swing state. - Will Hunting Mar 3, 19:36
    - Okay did I confuse it with Wisconsin? Sorry both states -- nm - Bacon Mar 3, 19:33
Not only will Warren not win her home state, she's going to finish 3rd. -- (edited) - ML Mar 3, 19:28
Yikes, protesters storming the stage for Biden's speech. - Max Mar 3, 19:27 11
- What type of dipshit? BernieBros would be perfect. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 19:28 8
  - "Let Dairy Die" -- (link) - Max Mar 3, 19:29 6
    - These guys sure are almond nuts. -- nm - Qale Mar 3, 19:41 1
      - Which is funny because almond orchards are sucking up all of California's water. They are bad for the environment. -- nm - Bacon Mar 3, 19:43
    - wait, your subject wasn't a lie? -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 19:30 3
      - Not everything I say is! -- nm - Max Mar 3, 19:32
      - Just milking it. -- nm - budice Mar 3, 19:32
      - HAH! -- nm - Bacon Mar 3, 19:31
  - anti-dairy freaks, again -- nm - mud Mar 3, 19:28
- Such BS too, Bernie got boobs in his protest, and Biden just got signs. -- nm - Bacon Mar 3, 19:28 1
  - *international sign for grabby hands* -- nm - Biden Mar 3, 19:29
Biden live and protester got on stage -- nm - Bacon Mar 3, 19:26 1
- They might need to add secret service earlier in the future -- nm - Bacon Mar 3, 19:27
Max you can give to a candidate is $2800, right? Kellyanne Conway's husband just maxed out to Joe Biden -- (link) - ty97 Mar 3, 19:26 4
- I seriously would pay money to actually see those two live. - Will Hunting Mar 3, 19:31 2
  - He said recently that he did vote for Trump in 2016 but turned on him almost immediately. -- nm - Reagen Mar 3, 19:32 1
    - I get it...he’s my party, I’m giving him a ch- oh fuck, what have we done? - Will Hunting Mar 3, 19:38
- Yep $2800 -- (link) - ty97 Mar 3, 19:29
My wife! My sister! My sister! My wife! Minnesota! YEAAAAAHHH -- nm - Max Mar 3, 19:23 3
- Going for the WV vote? -- nm - Reagen Mar 3, 19:25 1
  - They switched places behind him at the podium and for a moment he didn't know which butt to goose. -- nm - Max Mar 3, 19:26
- [nods] ..nice -- nm - howarddean Mar 3, 19:25
Think it was liberty square we ate supper, it was fantastic but uber expensive -- nm - anniebecca Mar 3, 19:22 13

  - Tavern all you could eat and it was awesome...till the bill came ahhhhhhhh -- nm - anniebecca Mar 3, 19:26 1
    - That's why we do the Dining Plan. It's less stress. -- nm - David Mar 3, 19:27
