With over 48% of the vote in, Bernie leading by 22.4%

The margin stays like that and we have got a legit race on our hand on the Dem side. Bernie winning all groups except the rich and the old means this could be a turning point too.

Curious to see what happens in Nevada next week.

Most of America is white. If you can win big enough with white people (and hispanics, who tend to care more about the economy than racial identity) you really don't need black votes.

She'll win Hispanics and southern whites too. New Hampshire and Iowa are not normal and should not be considered representative of the rest of the country. If anything, this is just more proof that we need a national primary.

I love Trump speeches. "Yeah, jobs, we're going to be great with jobs. Immigration? We're going to be the best at immigration. Healthcare is going to be so good. Guns? Love 'em. God? Yeah, he's great, isn't he? It's going to be the best." This is all just another gameshow to him and it's amazing to watch.

This is the most perfect analysis I've seen yet.

They've never been counted in the unemployment number people pay attention to. Nobody cared until the normal metric of unemployment started to look good under the black guy. Now, suddenly, we care about all the other unemployment statistics.

We definitely need to work on it, but the sudden interest in it is staggeringly disingenuous.

that's not an unemployment rate, that's a labor participation rate. old people dying in hospitals and toddlers shouldn't count as part of the unemployed (which is what you're implying with that metric).

I dunno, guys, between the "economic recovery" going mostly to the hedge funders and bankers instead of the common man, and Trump talking about how he'll return jobs to America, I think you're a fool if you deny the appeal of that message

The 99% know they're being hosed, even if they can't precisely articulate it. That's why there's this explosive support for Trump and Sanders

is that even kind of true though? regardless of the actual population demographics, it matters much more significantly where the population is located in the geographic US. montana and wyoming and idaho being 90% white isn't as important as the fact that they are a negligible number of electoral votes. i thought urban areas, which tend to having much higher concentrations of people, and also tend to be more racially divided, are more commonly located in swing states?
