I read a piece about the superdelegates a while back. I'm not sure if this is the same one, but basically it argues that the superdelegates will ultimately fall in line with whichever way the popular vote goes. I guess that's probably true if there is a clear winner in the popular vote. But if Sanders doesn't have a greater than 5% lead over Clinton in the popular vote, I could imagine the superdelegates propping Clinton up.

Even better: Trump responds "Romney's a loser who can suck my cock"

Can someone quickly explain why black americans are so anti Sanders?
I assume its because he's an old white guy. |

Because he was only a token civil rights protester. Blacks are sick of been promised change, for it to not be delivered. Bernie is just another white guy promising change. The Clintons on the other hand, GAF and made black neighbourhoods much safer with laws passed specifically to stop gang related crime, and other bits and bobs. Blacks love the Clintons due to this, and this is why they'll vote Clinton. Also, blacks are quite conservative, Bernie is too liberal for most of them. |

Yeah yeah yeah, Sanders narrowly won more votes than Clinton in Michigan. Strangely - due to what I assume are the nuances of the system - some websites are reporting Clinton to have taken away more delegates than Sanders. No websites I've looked at can agree with each other on exactly who got what number of delegates.
One thing is certain: Sanders got smoked in Mississippi. Another thing: Clinton so far has roughly twice the delegates Sanders does.

Gossip amongst some of my Sanders supporting American friends is that they were expecting Sanders to lose a lot of the primaries that have happened so far due to southern states' demographics. Expect campaign to pick up with northern states' primaries.

The pieces of the pie are getting smaller though. Cruz is (slightly) narrowing the gap on Trump.

Wow, looks like Trump's getting majorly owned in DC and Wyoming.
|
14th March 2016, 10:35 | #183 |

There was no way DC was going to be voting Cruz or Trump. They're voting for the established candidate.
I assume Wyoming is Cruz's home state (or maybe neighbouring). But the fact he came a low 3rd in both is quite pleasing. |

Man, if this is how wrecked Clinton gets in the primaries, mostly by her (people) own doing, imagine how things will look if/when Trump decides to dedicate resources into finding more things to poke at.

Politically? Sure, maybe. In terms of retardedness? Clinton would definitely fit right in to Labour.

So at Economic Left/Right score of -7.5 I'm quite the leftie, and pretty Libertarian-leaning with the Libertarian/Authoritarian score -5.69

i'm such a fence sitter:
"Although the electronic age makes official surveillance easier, only wrongdoers need to be worried." - Well yes. We always love it when 'wrongdoers' are caught on camera but I find cameras everywhere somehow weird. Like Singapore-weird. Economic Left/Right: -2.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.21

Surely only nutty religious people would be above the x-axis? Looking at where they have NZs political parties I don't think it's a very accurate test. Also
