The polls begin closing soon, and I’m tired of making predictions. Why don’t you make some?

I don’t have any. Heard turnout in MA is “high” (don’t have numbers to compare, so idk if that’s true or not).
I hope Colorado and Minnesota pull it off for Bernie.
I just got back from my polling place. More turnout than the 2015 election, at least the hours I went. Quite diverse. A Clinton person was nearby. No yard signs or anything, but I think that’s because my polling place is a community center with a lot of housing (and I imagine the home owner’s association bans them).
I took a cab there, walked back. It’s a good thing it’s such a beautiful day outside, otherwise the two mile walk back would have been quite unpleasant.
I also know a lot of people who are Democrats and voted in the Republican primary. Sigh.
Oh just so no one gets confused, these people aren’t voting for Trump. They apparently are like little Peter Beinart and meddling in the Republican primary to stop Trump.
I wonder if any Republicans are meddling in the (D) primary to vote for Hillary.
I don’t know about turnout being high. there were no lines where I voted and there were no signs … except for one really weird dude who (and this is no shit) looked like this.
He wanted people to vote for Cruz and save American Liberty. When he asked if I was voting for Cruz I told him I wouldn’t vote for a dominionist. He asked me what that was …. <sigh>. Doesn’t anybody know how to play this game???
Up rated for the reference. Yeah I mean I had five to six people in front of me. It took 5 minutes from the door to exit. It took me longer to walk home than it did to vote. However, usually I can go right in with no line at all. Last GE (2012) I voted in Eric Cantor’s home, so different polling place, but that was a 10-15 min line.
You must have short ballots. Here in Illinois we have long ballots with judges and commissioners of the water district, commissioners of the mosquito abatement district, et cetera. Or did you do what people do, vote for president and no other office?
An interesting development is that Chicago may have a lead problem like Flint MI. The Tribune had a front page story about how the Chicago water department cooks the books. they only test about 50 houses a year and those are houses owned by water department employees in the extreme Northwest and Southwest, far from the inner city.
Alexandria ballot was president and that’s it. O’Malley was on ballot. VA is approaching where Nevada is. It’s going to be out of reach from the GOP in national elections. We are currently split in the state senate.
If the lead hypothesis is correct about adolescent violence (and we know it’s absolutely correct as to cognitive functioning) this report report could be a bombshell.
Kasich gets 0 delegates, and goes home to sit on his thumb.
Wouldn’t surprise me to see Kasich hang in there through Ohio.
Maddow said Kasich stays in until Convention, and if shhhh goes down, Kasich can be the “moderate” conservative.
So I think he at least stays until Ohio
Cruz wins Texas. Trump sweeps the rest. Bernie wins Vermont, comes close in Massachusetts but loses. Hillary takes all but Vermont.
that’s my thought as well, polls moving away from him in MA
MN & CO he has a chance, not sure why he’s hanging his hat on OK though
Because he’s doing well in the polls there, and because independents are voting in the Dem primaries, presumably for him.
Because there’s no DEM establishment/institutional power in OK to speak of and the long-suffering DEMs in OK are liberal/populists.
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!
Worlds collide!
Made a big bowl of popcorn for this.
First prediction: Colonel Mustard in the Library with Maxwell’s Silver Hammer… bang bang!
My other prediction: it’ll take J Thomas 10 more years before he speaks again.
Another prediction: Ben Carson will continue to sleep deeply but not leave the campaign trail. Just too much good walking around money to walk away from. However, I heard he’s hired one of those rock star style buses with a yuuuuge bed in it, so he can sleep comfortably and in style and just be bussed in to awaken briefly and wave to some random passers by.
ok here’s something I can write about. J Thomas spoke because his father figure is dead. who knows what might happen now?
In about an hour or two, I’ll be eating homemade gumbo, drinking beer, and hanging out with mah ladyfriend.
As for Super Tuesday, Clinton and Trump pretty much steamroll everyone.
Your first prophecy sounds like one of the better things that’s going to happen. The second part meh, I can live with it.
With 1000 delegates up for grabs overall, I conservatively predict Clinton +~200 delegates compared to Sanders.
Trump may win the GOP nomination, but he cannot win the 2016 general election:
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/andrean-high-school-basketball-border-wall-trump-chants
When George Wallace ran this campaign in 1968, he won five states. Not nearly enough, and that was a much more favorable electorate for this grievance politics.
Here’s sincerely hoping your are correct. Turnout and migrating party affiliations will be worth watching for both parties.
I don’t think you’re appealing with the general electorate when your message on Super Tuesday is “I didn’t mean to hesitate in disavowing my endorsements from David Duke and the KKK”, and the Congressional leaders from your Party hold their own individual press conferences to say “Fuck that guy.”
OK. So… Insignificant, blip or red flag?
Your move.
Hey buried the lede. I and janicket dealt with this in another thread. It’s nonsense. Look at the last paragraph.
Or whistling past the graveyard?
Hillary will win a lot until March 15. Then she won’t.
You intensely dislike Hillary. You appear to believe that Trump will get all the Republicans and will be able to chip off Democrats and dominate with independents with his “populism”, along with your assumptions that supermajorities of Americans dislike Hillary as much as you do.
There’s some things in the way of these theories:
http://www.gallup.com/opinion/polling-matters/188177/trump-image-among-democrats-independents-negati
ve-gop-candidate.aspx
Trump could hardly gain higher disapproval percentages by Democrats, and his disapproval ratings from independents are also sky-high.
http://www.pollingreport.com/hrc.htm
Democrats approve of Hillary. Her net approval ratings among Democrats are much higher than Trump’s net approval ratings among Republicans.
And all this is before Trump faces his very first general election campaign.
At some point you have to deliver stronger evidence for your argument than “Hillary has poor net approval ratings among all Americans” and “She’s terrible.”
c’mon, CF. He’s just channeling AG. Committed Believers (not True Believers) always get depressed when the object of their commitment is not verified by the general populace.
I know. I was RCP for about 4 months in SF. Turns out I couldn’t stand Bob Avakian (a conceited, self-important, cult leading wanker if one ever lived).
I’d be interested in hearing about your experiences with him.
wasn’t much experience. I met him once, heard him twice and and got kicked out because I wouldn’t accede to believing Gay Love was an extreme capitalist reaction to the true working class. I also wasn’t truly enamoured of Albania. But maybe I’m thinking of some other group of nuts ….
Hillary will win a lot as long as there is a DNC.
BTW, got a letter from them asking for money. ROTLMAO. It’s in the usual guide of a survey. the interesting thing is that my answer to all the survey questions is “I don’t give a damn”.
I predict several races will be reported with numerous vote switching by voting machines. These machines are very easy to manipulate the votes. It would be nice if ALL states trashed the machines and did mail in ballots only.
Not quite as easy to mess with as electronic, but a lot of opposition ballots can get “lost in the mail”. That’s easier to do than throwing away punch card ballots because there are no number discrepancies. Who knows how many people received ballots but didn’t return them?
I don’t think much of people who can’t be bothered to get off their ass and spend an hour at the neighborhood polls.
Bernie speaking now…with the probability of HRC winning all but Vermont, this is an interesting choice of words….right”
This campaign was never about electing a president. It was about building a movement. Bernie has said so all along, but many of his supporters don’t see to have caught on. No matter how Bernie does, it’s up to us to keep working to create a foundation for Dem Socialism in this country.
My prediction is that as of today there will be yet another reason not to vote for Hillary Clinton :
http://trofire.com/2016/03/01/debbie-wasserman-schultz-teams-up-with-gop-to-take-down-elizabeth-warr
en/
Thank you, Debbie!
This is something I’d like to hear Clinton asked about. She won’t be with Wasserman-Schultz. That is about as certain as can be. She wants Warren to campaign with her. And here’s her campaign plank on financial institutions:
https:/www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/wall-street
Not the set of policy planks which would fit in with support for the Wasserman-Schultz payday lender effort.
If Clinton were taking the position Debbie is here, that would be meaningful. Until she has, this will not resonate.
Hillary Clinton is not with DWS? Are you kidding me?
Sure she wants Warren to campaign with her. Warren’s a lot more popular than she is.
Undeniably.
good that Sanders staying in
I listened to a discussion on Dutch radio with 4 students attending Websters University on Leiden campus in The Netherlands. Students were divided in 2 Republicans and 2 Democrats and were asked about the election and how they observed it from outside the US. All four were equally abhorred by the circus and show man Trump. The two Democrats would vote for Sanders and the two Republicans were split, one was for John Kasich and the other was split between Rubio and Kasich. If Trump would be the Republican nominee, one of the Republican students would vote for Sanders and with a Trump as president, one of the students said she would not return to the US but live abroad. A particularly strong showing for Bernie Sanders!
○ Why are there suddenly millions of socialists in America? | The Guardian |
In 1906 German sociologist Werner Sombart wrote an essay entitled “Why Is There No Socialism in the United States?” that sought to explain why the US, alone among industrialized democracies, had not developed a major socialist movement.
Today, however, we need to pose a different question: why are there socialists in the United States? In this nation that has long been resistant to socialism’s call, who are all these people who now suddenly deem themselves socialists? Where did they come from? What do they mean by socialism?
The increasing acidic level in the oceans will destroy the food chain from the base upward, this will create famine, pestilence and so on and so forth. This will occur faster if Trump is elected. It might also rain frogs. I’m not kidding.
QUESTIONS:
If we assume HRC is the Dem nominee, what is the best possible sequence of events for the GOP primary? Who do we want to win and how long do we want the others to stay in?
For example: is it better for Trump to win and all the KKK/Trump University stuff to blow up big, or is it better for Trump to have 49.9% of the delegates and have the nomination wrenched from him at the convention, leading to massive bitterness, and if so, which remaining candidate would taking the biggest beating after that?
This is why I never try to game the system. Those asses in MA who voted R to try to stop Trump??? Didn’t even make a blink. I have no idea who they would have supported while voting D but the way the map is playing out, Bernie could have used them.
Let the damn R’s pick whoever they want to. I’m staying out of that one.
Yeah man. A lot of my friends up here in Northern Virginia voted for Rubio to stop Trump. I didn’t say anything because it was at work, but what is wrong with these fools?
Trump is scarier and more obnoxious, but Rubio’s policies are pure poison. But in any case, here’s Axelrod on anti-Trump strategie: http://www.vox.com/2016/3/1/11139822/obama-trump-david-axelrod
Bernie takes Oklahoma!
Remember:
SC — HRC wins, but Democrats never carry the state in the general — win doesn’t matter
OK — Bernie wins, but Democrats never carry the state in the general — win is triumph.
If thats how you want to play it Sanders won 3 states to HRC’s 2.
Looks like Giles County in TN could be the only county to go Bernie. I have no idea why. the County seat of Giles is Pulaski. Pulaski was the birthplace of the Klan.
My wife and I had a weekend hobby farm there for about 8 years.

If anyone’s ever seen the movie “Walking Tall”, the events depicted occurred about 25 mi. west of here with at least one event (a murder) taking place about at this point.
Predictions?
Yeah. Sure.
HRC wins a lot; Bernie wins a little. Eventually…sooner rather than later…HRC is the Dem candidate.
Trump also wins a lot, but the RatPub elite…under orders from their corporate PermaGov masters…do keep trying to block him.
They fail, but in the process manage to so undermine Trump’s carefully constructed persona that he loses the (
s)election to HRC.Then we have 4 or 8 more years of ever more progressively failing, neo-liberal so-called progressivism.
Somewhere in there…the U.S. goes broke.
Then things get really serious.

Always with the negative energy Gilroy!
I predict Drumpf picks Howard Stern as his running mate.
And announces on the eve of the general election that he’s been punking everyone, just to save face.
Not always.
Just here and now regarding the situation in our culture.
I wish it were otherwise, but as my lovely grandmother always used to say “If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.”,
We are confronted with choosing between two likely presidential candidates…one a pathological con man and the other a sincere believer in the neoliberalism which has so far failed to do anything except get the U.S. further entangled in the problems of the Islamic world and send millions of jobs overseas in the name of “good trade relations.” I see nothing positive in this choice, just negative and slightly less negative.
So it goes.
The only positive I see in the current political siuation exists in the culmination of this neoliberal fever…the “crisis” about which smart health people speak when they describe the progress of an infection. As the Great Depression was a crisis of an economic disease of its time, this current bubble must also burst. Then and only then will there be a chance of healing.
That’s about as positive as I can get about things here at the present time.
Sorry.
Maybe Elizabeth Warren will eventually be our FDR.
I hope so.

…On the GOP side, they need Rubio to step up and do something, and too many people just look at the twerp and can’t bring themselves to cast a ballot for him.
Rubio is all yammering lately about a brokered convention, but that REQUIRES a 3-man race – not 1 Bozo the Clown, 1 Damian the Oracle, and 1 Chucky. LOL Actually, that as supposed to say 1 man, 1 clown, and 1 boy – but I couldn’t resist.
…On the DEM side, without results in yet from AK, CO, and MN, I have the day going about +231 for Hillary.
If Sanders catches up in MA, he’s only going to gain +2 from where he is at this moment (51.27% to 48.73%, with 86% reported in). Out of 231, 2 delegates aren’t worth peeing on. (Update: He’s only caught up about 0.40% in the last 12% reported in, so he’s beginning to run out of time, even for that.)
But if he ekes out MA, Sanders will claim a great victory, even though it’s in a neighboring state he’s having to fight tooth and nail for, while in the OTHER neighboring state he won by 60%-39%.
Regardless of the exact numbers, if the running counts shows Hillary ahead by about 257, with proportional voting, where is a state or 4 that can make that up for Sanders?
None.
Outside of the REALLY little states like VT, NH, AK, ME, Sanders wins by 5% or less will only get him 3-6 delegate gains. That would take many more states than we currently have.
And it’s not getting any better for him.
In the Mar 5-8 window coming up very quickly, I show him going down another 120 or so. He will be about 377 down then.
In the Mar 12-22 window, I have Sanders losing ground by another 216 or so. That would be down by 593.
In April, down another 175.
In May, down another 46. With OR and WA in there, even making this +46 is too little, too late.
In June, down 88 more.
In only one time window (May) does Sanders possibly make up any ground at all, much less catch up.
[All the above is based on the latest state polls. The numbers will float a bit to one side or another, but not enough to change the trend.]
As of 9 am the morning after, she came out of Super Tuesday +168 in pledged delegates, according to AP, not +257.
Where she’s killing him is in superdelegates, which, as we all know, is not really good, even for her.
Well, my numbers are entirely different. I thought last night was a clear defeat for Hillary, and indicated that Sanders pretty much has it in the bag. The burden on Hillary was to prove that she was more than just a regional candidate, that she had support more than just from the DC-NY beltway and the south (which are red states, btw). And she clearly failed to do so. Calling MA a tie, she didn’t take a single state outside the south. Sanders absolutely slaughtered her in all other parts of the country, north, west, midwest, northeast, everywhere. He’s currently ahead in the overwhelming majority of states still to vote, including virtually all of the states west of the Mississippi.
“Regardless of the exact numbers, if the running counts shows Hillary ahead by about 257, with proportional voting, where is a state or 4 that can make that up for Sanders?”
Uh, California with nearly 500 delegates, and where Hillary is despised? The whole west coast?
Sorry, I’ll believe that Hillary is a viable Democratic nominee when she wins a single blue state. And so far she hasn’t. She still needs like 1500 more delegates, and the numbers just don’t add up. Sanders is ahead in all parts of the country, and is raising more money than her. She’s done.
Tonight I helped Bernie Sanders win Minnesota. And for tonight, thats enough for me. 🙂

Looking forward to their next luxurious tongue bath of Trump on the ol’ mornin’ show. All will be forgotten next week. Forgetting is much better than forgiving. “Oh, I completely forgot to ask Donald about his son’s 20-minute interview on a white supremacist radio show broadcast!”

LOLOL.
Bernie got the West by 2 to 1 margins. Hillary got the South by 2 to 1 margins, except for Alabama where she won 4 to 1. Only Massachusetts was close, HRC winning a photo finish 50% to 49% (1% O’Malley?).
Minnesota gives some hope to Illinois, but it is breaking down that Blacks hate Sanders, Whites hate Hillary.
Results from Washington Post.
I find Mass. the most discouraging loss. Blacks don’t hate Sanders. They can’t place him in the social order because he’s not white like Clinton is. He’s not glamorous, has a funny way of talking, nothing like you see on TV or in the movies. He’s not a sharp dresser, etc. I wonder how many pantsuits Clinton has. Does she ever wear one more than once?
Pretty strong words, Voice. It truly sounds as though you are trying to start a rump PUMA movement.
Blacks HATE Bernie? Not hardly. Black people have been stomped on for so long and so hard that anyone who has a history of any kind of favor or neutrality will garner support. Blacks don’t hate Bernie, they like Hillary and don’t know Bernie.
Whites HATE Hillary? Nah, the white cognoscenti / young idealists appreciate the social consciousness, fiscal equality and spiritual inclusivity of Bernie. They don’t hate Hillary. They like {adore, revere, emulate, …} Bernie. They don’t trust Hillary.
Blacks and Whites and Nearly All Others are feeling this:
Did you ever try livin’
On two-bits minus two?
I say did you ever try livin’
On two bits minus two?
Why don’t you try it, folks,
And see what it would do to you?
(Langston Hughes)
And acting it out.
They don’t hate him – they just don’t know him.
In the trial heat polling against Trump he does as well as Clinton does among African Americans.
Really for the most part few hate either candidate within the party.
4 to 1? it sounds to me like they hate the guy that got 20%
Funny way to look at it. Just because you prefer what candidate A is saying and offering as policy means you “must hate” what ever candidate B is doing??????
I don’t “hate” Hillary, just appreciate Bernie’s positions more.
I will vote for Bernie in the primary, and either one of them in the general over what ever the GOtPers come up with.
Hate seems the wrong way to look at it,
policy/political preference is a much better and probably more accurate term.
No, policy can account for 60-40, not 80-20. 20% is a complete rejection. It gives rise to a new thought: Could it be that Alabamans don’t have healthcare because Alabamans don’t want health care? It is so foreign to logic that it sounds absurd. Yet. Kentucky, at least as racially rabid as Alabama, accepted expanded Medicare. Alabama did not. You never read about protests about that and Dem primary voters voted 4 to 1 against the guy that wanted to everybody health care.
I do not know what is so difficult to understand about this. They want to beat the Republicans. They know and trust Hillary Clinton. They do not know Bernie Sanders, or how he will be in the GE against a hostile party. Their leaders and clergymen, whom they also trust, endorsed her.
Your attitudes are not helping mend any trust here.
More than that, he made little to no effort (from what I’ve read). Now maybe when this is all over we’ll know the full story. But if that’s at all accurate, I think he failed.
“They know and trust Hillary Clinton”
That’s what bothers me. If you know her, how can you trust her? Why does someone want to beat the Republicans with a Republican clone? Why the marked racial difference? Sanders marched with King when Clinton was a Goldwater girl?
Why did #BLM attack Bernie when he wanted to talk about Social Security at a forum about Social Security?
Because the Republicans are the white nationalist party, they know this, they want to beat them in any way possible. Bernie simply did not have enough time to be able to compete with her on this. Could he have gotten it to 70-30? I think so, but I’m not sure — I simply do not have the facts of his outreach.
You have limited time and resources. You know people like John Lewis are going to back her. How many resources and how much time are you willing to gamble? Etc.
They don’t “trust” Clinton in the way you think. They “trust” Clinton in “we know who she is, and she’s the devil we know.” That’s all there is to it.
Are you still bringing up BLM? Comon man. There is not some conspiracy here. BLM has protested Clinton too. Sometimes other voters have different concerns than you do. I stand with BLM, and I stand with them when they protest either candidate. The language of both candidates is substantially different than before they were heckled. It’s a good thing Bernie took that criticism and tried working on it. Follow his lead.
Precisely. I wish every Sanders advocate would understand this, instead of trying to explain to AA’s why they shouldn’t trust Clinton. Would save a whole lot of aggravation and wasted efforts for the explainers and some annoyance on the part of the explainees.
The most annoying thing to me is “but why do they support her?” People tell you why. You don’t like their answer. You ask again “but why do they support her?”
That’s bad faith. I come at any approach here that communities know what is in their own self interest, up to and including “Kansas” people. You go to them and ask them what they want, not telling them what they should support. And in so doing, you establish trust. Then you sell your ideas. Maybe they’re receptive. Maybe not. But it’s how politics works.
It’s clear that younger voters of color are not as entrenched with Clinton for a reason: they, like me, were babes during the Clinton admin. They do not care what the Clinton’s did in the 1990’s and are moving to “what have you done for me lately?” Thus Sanders has pierced that demographic.
Ayup. And the more you go on and on about “But s/he’s horrible, awful, no good, scum of the Earth, how could anyone support such filth!” the more you insult the people who don’t agree with you, who for their own (to them) just fine, thank you reasons support said filth, the more you put their backs up and make them hold onto their choice even harder.
Replace “her” with “Trump” and your statement reads the same.
I ask “why do they support her?” and I hear back “blue is a nice color” so I ask again because I don’t get an answer that makes any sense. Might as well ask “why don’t they trust Trump?” They have just as much reason to.
I’m trying to understand and you say I’m acting bad faith.
No, I just don’t think you like the answer.
Jamelle Bouie, who in general I see as part of Clinton establishment, writing “news” articles when they could easily be editorials, explains it well:
You can see this was true even in 2008. Obama managed to break through that. He’s probably the only one who could, frankly. This theme is true throughout the country, and it will be especially true throughout the South where the parties are so racially polarized, with 10-20% of whites voting Democratic; they correctly are outnumbered and have a lot at stake. They want to win. Look at Obama’s challenge to Bobby Rush. From wiki:
They didn’t trust Obama. He was a newbie. Rush was a former black panther. Obama got crushed. Bill Clinton endorsed Rush in that race.
Put another way, until AA voters over the age of 45 and especially voters over 65 are dead, the Clinton’s (and now Obama) hold a lot of clout. Obama will continue to have clout with the younger ones, who owe nothing to Clinton. Sanders is getting much more even splits in the 18-34 bracket (but it’s still lopsided for Clinton because of those relationships and family).
Bernie needed MA, and to not get beaten so badly in Texas and Virginia.
Plenty of primaries have turned when everyone thought they were over (see ’76, ’80, ’84 and even ’08). In some years there was clearly buyer’s remorse: a candidate blew out to a big lead, and voters in later primaries essentially voted to keep the race going.
All of the electability types will stick their heads in the sands, but the Honest and Trustworthy numbers for Clinton among Whites is a big huge red neon sign screaming “Danger”. In some states about half of Democrats say she is not: and that is in a DEMOCRATIC electorate.
Of course, this might not matter given her likely opponents.
But the simple truth is Clinton isn’t a very good general election candidate.
As to TX, here’s an interesting fact I noticed.
Texas has 254 (!) counties. Bernie actually won in 11 of them. Most of those counties have small populations and few Democratic primary voters. However,
they also include the counties of Travis, Hays, and Brazos.
Now Travis is Austin, Hays is San Marcos, and Brazos is Bryan/College Station.
At Austin you have University of Texas, at San Marcos you have Texas State, and at College Station you have Texas A&M. These are the three flagship state universities in Texas.
At the University of Texas you have UT Students for Bernie, at Texas State you have Bobcats for Bernie, and at A&M you have Aggies for Bernie.
So I don’t think those results were a coincidence. Evidently the students for Bernie did great work.
Why am I not surprised: Following Sanders’ narrow loss to Clinton in Massachusetts, Elizabeth Warren is viciously attacked by enraged progressives for causing his loss there by failing to endorse him:
http://bluenationreview.com/left-turns-on-elizabeth-warren-after-hillary-wins-mass/
Don’t believe me? Go look at the comments, for example, on her Facebook page:
https:/www.facebook.com/senatorelizabethwarren
Winning hearts and minds, folks! Way to go!
Dems love to keep their powder dry.
So, a few self-identified progressives are hurt and angry about the MA loss and lashed out at Warren. Big deal. (And that assumes that they really are who they purport to be and aren’t just ratfuckers. An assumption that I would be careful in going with — particularly after seeing Bill’s interference with polling sites in Boston yesterday. They play very dirty; but we don’t know how deep they go.)
Warren has had the class not to endorse either candidate and continue advancing her political positions. A shame so few other DEM politicians lack that level of class and so many display who they believe their owe their jobs to. iirc Warren was drafted by the people to run for the Senate and not the DEM PTB, who seemed to be okay with Brown.
Yawn.
Sorry, John Cole said that.
Heh. Wonder what Warren is thinking about DNC/DWS’s newest move? A threat against her “baby”? It ain’t beanbag they’re playing.
I think Pres. Obamma is a great leader. He always thinks the people and their safety.
