Really pulling for Sanders tonight to get the upset.

Also really hope Cruz doesn't win.

Sanders isn't looking good, this bothers me.

What kind of an idiot can you be to vote for Hilary over him.

Agreed on Cruz👆

Hillary has a narrow lead so far, and Cruz is beating Trump too as of now...

Ugh

Also, at the moment, Trump only has 17% compared to Cruz and Rubio whose vote count is over twofold. Not that this is a good thing. Cruz is also a scumbag POS. The fact that he has racist homophobe Phil Robertson supporting him tells you just how despicable he is.

For whatever reason Sanders seems to struggle with minority voters.

Cruz legit scares me. He's too much of a religious loon. I'd take Trump over him in a heart beat.

Sanders is gaining.

Dems are 41% complete and Sanders is only down by 3.

Cruz had the best ground game hands down but is only leading trump by 1 point and they are only 19% complete on the GOP. This is by no means close to over.

I agree Cruz is worse then the boogie man.

Now it's showing him 30 to Trump 27%

Hillary's done a lot of communication and outreach with them over the years, while Bernie didn't do much specific effort to grab them.

A longer history of supporting a community is tough to beat without more effort to make a similar rapport.

Yea yea, we know you want Holary to win.

Go Sanders!

I think because Time is such a cheerleader who always says the one he likes is going to win and the one he hates is always going to fail, he doesn't realize people can talk odds and reasons trying to judge things somewhat objectively.

Anyway, I do recommend FiveThirtyEight, they're a group of number-crunchers with a high history of accuracy who likes to break down who's popular with whom and try to figure out why.

Interestingly, the latest wave of reports has shortened the gap.

Go Trump,Go Sanders!

I'm cringing as I'm watching the developments. Hillary needs to cheat on Bill in the next ten minutes and have it make national news or something.

I was just visiting my Aunt and uncle, poverty-born turned realtors, and they stated they are voting for Hillary. They believe Sanders is too idealistic and the Clintons political clout will give her a better more practical chance at implementing policies through Congress, whereas they believe Sanders attempts will be met with the same uncompromising resistance as Obama's.

Just wanted to provide the mindset of a Hillary voter

I mean the simplest reason would be that many democrats fear that Sanders won't win a general election because many of his policies are too far to the left for moderate voters.

Yeah that's a pretty good description of what a lot of Democrats are probably thinking.

Latest updates show that Rubio is going to finish as a strong third, which will set him up to do well in future contests.

Really gotta love Sanders. Says even if he loses to Hillary he will still celebrate the fact that he got so close. Dude is seriously a saint, even if maybe too much of one for the cesspool of American politics.

And personally, I am really glad he's in the race. Even not winning, he's bringing a lot of good ideas to light and getting them talked about- not this time, but maybe next time we'll get someone of a more socialist bent like him.

I agree.
