Let's keep things in perspective. Today is only the 2nd Primary. Bernie won the 1st one by 21pts

[jillan]

If Hillary wins today all that will mean is -

Bernie won the first primary, Hillary won the 2nd primary.
The msm seems to neglect that point.

I don't have a crystal ball & don't know what is going to happen on Super Tuesday.

This thread is not about next week, it is about today. Just trying to inject some facts into today.

(thanks to DUer virtualobserver for bringing this up in another thread)

[Le Taz Hot]

1. The MSM and Hillarians

are the only ones who DON'T have perspective in this. The rest of us understand there are 47 more states to go, then the convention.

[CentralMass]

3. The race has just started.

[TDale313]

4. Agreed, but... If the media can spread that narrative

It makes it that much harder.

[jillan]

5. For those on twitter, it is up to us to remind them of this inconvenient truth.

[Le Taz Hot]

6. It was always going to be hard.

Luckily, the MSM is slowly sinking into oblivion, as they deserve. The new Fourth Estate is social media.

[SCantiGOP]

26. Add to OP:

Sanders won first by 21% and Clinton wins 2nd by more than 21%.
Care to predict the Super Tuesday score?

[Le Taz Hot]

33. I let others engage in the horserace game.

This is no game. It's life and death. Literally. If we're ever going to reclaim our Democracy now is the time so I'm busy campaigning as hard as I can. And, after Super Tuesday, there are still 36 states left, including California.

[Enthusiast]

35. PLUS ONE, a huge bunch!

[Bjornsdotter]

2. I'm good

...I expect Hillary to win and I am ready to donate to Bernie when the results are in. I'm in for the long game.

#BoomersForBernie

[azmom]

32. Me too.

[Enthusiast]

36. Me too.

[MADem]

7. Other way round--HRC won IA first by a small amount, BS won NH second by

double digits.

[jillan]

8. This is about states that have primaries.

[MADem]

17. You are correct--I mis-read. Sorry! Hope you will accept my apology!

I didn't even consider Nevada when I replied, either--I was just thinking of IA and NH.

[jillan]

21. No problemo!

[2banon]

9. Hear! Here!

Getting the turn out revved up too!

[ebayfool]

28. Haha! I always have to stop and think about that ...

Hear hear v here here! You covered both nicely. And I totally agree!

[Matariki]

10. I laugh everytime I see someone calling it for Hillary at this point

So dumb.

[jham123]

19. 50% return rate

That Sums up the lack of turn-out this election has for us.

[Kentonio]

12. Plus Super Tuesday is only 11 states this time anyway.

[liberal_at_heart]

13. Bernie is going all the way to the convention! That is all we need to know.

I am busy today so I won't be here for much of the gloating that Hillary supporters will be doing. I will be watching the primary results though. I still find it very exciting because in every state so far he has narrowed the gap more than expected. Even if he doesn't win today I am excited to see if he narrows the gap.

Go Bernie!

[GreenPartyVoter]

22. +1

[jeff47]

14. Even Super Tuesday isn't that super this year.

California by itself has half the delegates up-for-grabs on Super Tuesday. And CA won't vote until June.

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. CA has not voted on Super Tuesday since 2004

it experimented with that, and that was the STATE, not the parties in those two cycles.

It is prohibitively expensive, why the state went back to the more traditional June schedule

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. The head of the SC Dem party also said this was a competitive race

albeit stated to be competitive later in the schedule. So that perked my ears.

[jillan]

20. Fingers & everything crossed! I want Bernie to come in less than 21 pts - the margin he won in NH.

[MisterP]

18. the Tortoise and the Hare, except the Hare's not bothering to race either

[jalan48]

23. This is a very conservative Southern State. Let's see how Bernie does in the more progressive ones.

[RealAmericanDem]

24. Did someone forget Nevada or is that just a bad memory for you all?

[retrowire]

27. OH NO! Bernie Supporters are trying to be positive!

I MUST GO PISS ON THEIR PARADE!

lmao you people.

[Goblinmonger]

[retrowire]

38. And I bet I know who's alert stalking me now! :DDDD

thanks for the results!

Dear Jury,

"You people" was in reference to the type of people that would have a knee jerk reaction of negativity when watching others try and pull themselves together. You see, in this OP, nobody is slamming Hillary for her inevitable win tonight. This thread is merely an acknowledgement of reality and it keeps things in perspective for those who support Bernie.

It's a positive thread. And people like the one I referred to clearly don't have a beneficial reason to be involved in it.

Sincerely,
retrowire

[jillan]

29. Nevada was a caucus state. This is about primary states.

[TM99]

31. Did someone forget that the OP said a 'primary' state (like New Hampshire)

and not a caucus state (like Nevada & Iowa)?

[tommcc99]

25. K&R

It aint over til its over.
I care about the people that are going to vote.
I dont care or thinkg so much about the people who are talking about the people who are going to vote.

[ebayfool]

30. Kicked & rec'd! n/t

[brooklynite]

34. IOW, there will be no more posts from Sanders supporters...

...saying Clinton can't win...because all we know is what's happened already?

Look if this is what you need to keep your side's spirits up, please proceed. Sanders folks have been happy to post about future polls when it supported their candidate. Every indication is that tonight and Tuesday night are going to be blowouts. If you believe otherwise, put us in our place by letting us know which States Sanders will win that aren't already assumed?

[Tarc]

39. Yes, Sanders won the mostly-white state next door to his own mostly-white state

That was to be expected.

I am from NH, it was never in doubt, but now we're on to the rest of the country, so get back to us when Sanders wins a state outside his comfort zone.
