I'm putting NV as up in the air due to no recent polls. ME...he might get ME. MA, probably.

Minnesota? I don't have a feel for the state at all, but tend to say it's going to be a bit close. Oregon, possibly, too.

Many state primaries are closed to Independents. Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and South Dakota. The District of Columbia also operates a closed primary

Democrats are voting for Hillary.

It is a fact that Sander's demographic is mostly white, young and male.

Your post really gave me a big Thanks so much!

Well go on with despite of yourselves.

I would be careful with this thought that you support and think about what you are really supporting
on hate and love.

thank you for letting me have my little thought into your forum............ But think about it.

I am talking about a well know demographic that is reported in virtually every news paper. Are you calling the NYT and the Washington post racist? That is simply bizarre.

I would be careful about not using commas when you write because this sentence doesn't make any sense. I am not picky about grammar or spelling but you really need to do something about this sentence!

It's a real sore spot.

If economic justice is the sole necessary solution to all the -isms still plaguing America, I'd be all for it!

Unfortunately, the majority of Americans have a real distaste for this one "-ism" known as socialism.

We are talking about strategy and electability and campaigning - and all some people want is for us to STFU!

We all know about the "hate" being flung at Hillary so your little sermon is without merit.

When I see a sea of vanilla pudding with a raisin speckled here and there, I'd say his support among AA is practically nil. It is just a fact. You don't have to like or accept it.

we are discussing Demographics.

It's being discussed in the media, too.. it's an important question..

Bernie Sanders is right: The Iowa Democratic caucuses were a “virtual tie,” especially after you consider that the results aren’t even actual vote tallies, but state delegate equivalents subject to all kinds of messy rounding rules and potential geographic biases.

The official tally, for now, is Hillary Clinton at 49.9 percent, and Mr. Sanders at 49.6 percent with 97 percent of precincts reporting early Tuesday morning.

But in the end, a virtual tie in Iowa is an acceptable, if not ideal, result for Mrs. Clinton and an ominous one for Mr. Sanders. He failed to win a state tailor made to his strengths.


He fares best among white voters. The electorate was 91 percent white, per the entrance polls. He does well with less affluent voters. The caucus electorate was far less affluent than the national primary electorate in 2008. He’s heavily dependent on turnout from young voters, and he had months to build a robust field operation. As the primaries quickly unfold, he won’t have that luxury.

And why his campaign has stooped to masquerading as union members, etc. Also, Sanders won't concede that he lost. He needed a decisive win in Iowa and now he is showing poor sportsmanship and zero class. He seems to love playing the ridiculous DNC and Clinton conspiracy...out to unfairly oust him card.
