Bradley won the election, a surprise to Democrats. This morning, some progressives picked a culprit: voters who cast ballots for Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.) and left the rest of their ballots blank. According to exit polling conducted by the independent group DecisionDesk and BenchMark Politics, perhaps 15 percent of Sanders voters skipped the Bradley-Kloppenburg race; just 4 percent of Hillary Clinton voters did the same
Democrats, with no victories to show from Tuesday, are hardly taking solace in the turnout. The defeat of Kloppenburg and of a Working Families Party-backed candidate for Milwaukee County executive are creating tension with supporters of Clinton, who argue that she is investing in the Democratic Party's success -- and that Sanders, far from a revolution, has built a personal following but little else.

(1,019 posts)stopping me from posting it there. It truly is disgusting to see how much of Sanders support is nothing but frauds and poseurs, with no investment in helping other Democrats.
This evidence allows any superdelegate to give Sanders trolls harassing them a big middle finger, because it's not like they were going to vote for a Democrat anyway.
New York has a big responsibility now. On April 19th, it's up to them to send these Gamer-gaters back to Reddit!

(11,631 posts)Sure Sanders is bringing in lots of newbies, but he is using them, and doing nothing to help make sure our nation has a strong foundation for progress.

(9,688 posts)I'm surprised, too. The Dems were working hard to defeat her.
Also surprising how many Bernie voters either voted for Bradley, or didn't vote for a judicial candidate at all. This might be explained in part by the WI-specific fact that WI has an open primary system, and that many of those Bernie voters were either Republicans or Republican-leaning independents, in addition to the more general (and counter-productive) lack of interest of the Bernie campaign and/or his voters on other Democratic races.

(15,438 posts)rodent-breeding. All primaries should be CLOSED. Caucuses should go the way of the DoDo. Independent voters should educate themselves on politics and stop sitting on that painful (painful for the country, that is) fence.
