Louie Gohmert has been in Congress for over a decade and I keep waiting for him to die, but he just won't do it. The only joy I get out of him is when he's mocked on TV. His daughter Caroline is a lovely singer too. Having said all of that, watching Gohmert meltdown over a Trump election would be delicious.

Blasmeister posted:Surely the delegate weighting of states also accounts for this anyway. They do. Delegate are allocated to states with an equal weighing of their electoral votes and how many votes they cast for the Democratic presidential candidates in the last three elections. So Vermont gets allocated 16 and Wyoming 11 because Vermont is more Democratic than Wyoming, even though they have the same number of electoral votes. (Wyoming ends up with 14 because it's getting 3 bonus delegates from going late in the process, but that's not really relevant here.)

I swear I read somewhere last night that Trump is the only candidate to win MA and some state in the south (maybe Texas?). Does anyone know if that's true and what state it was?

Now that Hillary Clinton was proven not viable when is she going to drop out? Somehow in a pretty solid victory Hillary supporters have managed to move goalposts. It is really Texas that did Bernie in yesterday. That was too big of state to run that far behind. It's going to be interesting to watch the democrats going forward, the racial divide is huge.

Lord of Pie posted:"Hey, let's choose our candidate solely through the results of the deepest red red states that we have no chance of winning in the general!" - Democrats, apparently By the same argument, shouldn't you also disqualify the results of solidly blue states? In the general, those are gonna vote for anyone with a (D) by their name, so why should it matter who they vote for in the primary?

I don't think he was arguing that those states should be disqualified, only that it doesn't lead to the most GE-capable candidate due to how anemic local democrat parties are in those communities. Personally, I feel that having delegates be appropriated based on turnout from the past three elections isn't the best of rules, but I'm not sure how that'd be fixed other than not sorting delegates until after a state has voted and its turnout can be observed (and I imagine that would be pretty complicated and lead to potential abuse). What I'm wondering is how this effects the influence of southern black democrats if future elections also see this leftist-neoliberal divide which leads to record low white turnout in southern states, since by delegate rules that would entitle them to less delegates and less importance.

"Republicans are racist because voter ID laws suppress minority voter turnout! Now: let me tell you about why black people shouldn't vote in the democratic primary." I used to have a vague preference for Bernie over Hillary, but now I want Hillary to clobber him just to spite idiot Bernouts.

So you are going to vote for a candidate out of spite for a small minority of supporters and ignore policies completely? Enjoy your centrist candidate once she does nothing she promised during the campaign in order to get votes.

PT6A posted:"Republicans are racist because voter ID laws suppress minority voter turnout! Now: let me tell you about why black people shouldn't vote in the democratic primary." You do realize that nothing in my post is complaining about black voters, and next to nothing has been said by Hillary supporters about the fact that closed registration is bad? evilweasel posted:its hard to find acceptable ways to say stop counting the votes of the blacks evilweasel posted:i have a compromise These are entirely reasonable responses to "I'm worried about black democrats in the south becoming marginalized". Venom Snake posted:The reason why white turnout in Southern Dem primaries is down is because southern white people are republicans. This doesn't change how delegates are decided, which rely on turnout period. Not only black turnout or white turnout. Low turnout harms the influence of all the state's democrats. You might as well be moaning about gerrymandering for all the good it will do.
