So at this point Hillary Clinton is virtually guaranteed the Presidency so long as she doesn't literally die before the election

Was Rubio the one that had the weird viral marketing thing where he revealed 1/8 of a puzzle piece screen saying he's running? He should do that again.

Bernie lost Ohio, which I think pretty much sinks the last remaining hope that his campaign had. Too bad, I was enjoying watching him pull off the occasional upset. I'm still pretty stoked that he did as well as he did, all things considered.

Fojar38 posted:So at this point Hillary Clinton is virtually guaranteed the Presidency so long as she doesn't literally die before the election Not really? She's pretty much guaranteed the nomination at this point unless Sanders reveals his secret bunker filled with millions of white, liberal, college age voters, but not the presidency. A lot can change in the political climate in the next eight months, and who the hell knows who's going to crawl out of the dark crevice that is a contested GOP convention to claim the nomination.

It still looks like Sanders will accomplish his actual goal: He influenced the narrative a lot, got a lot of attention for his positions, proved they had support, and did it without damaging the chances of beating the Republican. He ran a great campaign and I've got a lot more respect for him than I did at the start.

I expect he'll continue to hang on for a while until he's a mathematical impossibility, and if he's able to close the gap in Illinois he could kinda sorta make a case for still being in the game. But yes, he is functionally done having lost Ohio, and if he loses Illionis as well then Clinton's swept the board tonight which means he's actually done.

The far right responded agressively after their 2008 defeat. The base is extremely emotionally invested in Trump and even in defeat he's still going to be a thing in American politics. It could lead to another wave of obstructionist right wing congressmen only these will be even more ignorant and hateful as the last.

Bernie sticks it out for the next few months, gives a rousing speech at the Dem convention about the need to tackle Wall Street, universal healthcare, legalize weed, and college debt and tuition, only for Hillary to immediately turn around and go "lol nah."

His main problem is an inability to win big (and thus eat up delegates) in big states. Instead he's often just barely squeaking by so while Hillary grabs a lion's share in 12 different states he's stuck getting 67 delegates to 60 for Hillary in Michigan, while she's projected to get 120 delegates to his 50 in Florida. and Clinton getting 72 to his 28 in Ohio. It's a bad situation! Evil Fluffy posted:It'd be dumb for Bernie to drop out because with his delegate count doesn't he get a chance to speak at the convention and would lose that by dropping out of the race? I don't think they've prevented any candidate who'd dropped out from speaking at the past couple contested Democratic conventions. He doesn't need to worry about losing the right to speak there.

I bet Trump is going to love having to split his attention between the RNC, Cruz, Kasich, protest movements, and Clinton while she can spend months just attacking him endlessly Which is to assume, of course, that she'd try to do anything to stop Trump from getting the nom.

I'm almost sort of looking forward to him blasting a gasket and screaming that Hillary is a oval office or that Ted Cruz is a fat gently caress. I'm... Less than enthusiastic about him calling out for protestors to be beaten to a pulp (even more than now).

There was a New York Times article a week or two ago that said that Garland was on the list as a sign of respect and some advisers thought that having an older candidate would increase chances of confirmation. NYT quoted sources saying it was unlikely that Garland would be the final nominee. So it's probably Sri.

See you later, Bernie. You're an awesome dude and you brought a lot to the campaign. I'm going to be very interested to see what Bernie does when he gets to the convention and uses his influence and delegates to write/add planks to the Democrat's party platform.

It's a bad situation! And of the large states remaining, New York is going to go for Hillary in probably as large a margin as Florida if not more so, Pennsylvania is probably trending similar to Ohio (I don't know honestly), and California is probably going to be at best an even split. Those three states make up 1000 of the remaining delegates. That's basically it at that point.

ComradeCosmobot posted:One thing in Trump's favor: almost every contest from here on out is winner-take-all. If Kasich and Cruz continue to split the vote, Trump could still do it. One thing I forgot to add: Trump has another advantage in that many of those winner-take-all states are more favorable to him than Cruz. With Kasich continuing his quixotic campaign in Rubio's stead yet not guaranteed Rubio's support, Trump is still reasonably well positioned to get the 57% he needs.

It helps when people actually show up to your rallies Marco. https://twitter.com/ianbremmer/status/709907537504526337 Also, a friend of mine retweeted this and it just seems patently false. Firstly, weren't all conventions brokered until the early 20th century? And looking at wikipedia Eisenhower won on the first ballot although there were questions, he still took first ballot so it was never contested. Am I wrong or am I missing something?

That said, I'll take 8 years of Hillary being fake over 8 years of Cruz genuinely trying to nullify gay marriages or whatever. Frankly, whatever his message was got lost to me while I was busy freaking out about Trump.

I'm right there with you. Hillary is the only person the GOP hates more than Obama, and they will do everything possible to be as obstructive as possible--which takes time away from their comic book villainry. This is preferable to a Ted Cruz United Megachurch of America Theocratic Regime.
