Philip Rivers posted:Here's a question for the Bernie would have won folks: if Hillary won Pennsylvania (+12) and Ohio (+13) in the primaries, and Bernie won Michigan in a squeaker (+1.5), why would Bernie have won all those states in the general? For the same reason that Barack Obama lost Ohio and Pennsylvania in 2008's primaries, yet won them in the general. Primary success is a bad indicator of general success. docbeard posted:Oh heavens, Pence might have to break a tie again and a couple of Republicans get to pretend to be rebels when they're up for re-election. Four Republicans have broken ranks this time, so if the Dems stay solvent, there won't be a tie. Fritz Coldcockin has issued a correction as of 02:33 on Feb 14, 2017 |

Concerned Citizen posted:as for bases - there's no such thing as a base outside the context of a singular election. quote:In politics, the term base refers to a group of voters who almost always support a single party's candidates for elected office. Base voters are very unlikely to vote for the candidate of an opposing party, regardless of the specific views each candidate holds. In the United States, this is typically because high-level candidates must hold the same stances on key issues as a party's base in order to gain the party's nomination and thus be guaranteed ballot access. In the case of legislative elections, base voters often prefer to support their party's candidate against an otherwise appealing opponent in order to strengthen their party's chances of gaining a simple majority, typically the gateway to overarching power, in a legislature. I have no idea wtf you're talking about.

mugrim posted:I have no idea wtf you're talking about. this doesn't mean anything regarding primaries also if that is your argument then pretty much no Democrat in recent memory has had rural voters as their base. The closest recent example who did was...hillary clinton in 2008, per that poll i pasted earlier.

Ytlaya posted:This is from some pages back, but I actually understand pretty well how Clinton looks in the eyes of many of the people who really like her. Basically, from their point of view she and her support base are reasonable/rational/pragmatic, in contrast with more leftist voters/politicians, who aren't rational/pragmatic by virtue of being emotional about things (plus the fact that there's a visible minority of legitimately dumb Sanders/etc supporters). This assumption of being smart/reasonable/pragmatic stems mostly from the fact that there's a sort of shared culture among wealthy professionals that extents to the the way people communicate and behave. I think you briefly touched upon the Halo effect.
