[hill2016]

[awake]

1. link?

[mucifer]

2. With less than one percent counted.

[grossproffit]

3. 6 percent.

[KingFlorez]

4. And that is with none of Orleans Parish in

[DesertRat]

5. Louisiana is the most delegate rich of today's states

[oldandhappy]

6. And she is talking now. Bernie won two states and not covered.

[Chasstev365]

7. Wow!

Hillary wins another state that will vote Republucan in November. WAKE UP!

[6chars]

8. How about those Sanders wins in Nebraska and Kansas?!

[JonLeibowitz]

15. Bad argument, though nice try at reversing the talking point!

Nebraska is one of only two states which proportionally assigns its electoral delegates. Obama won a delegate in the 2008 general election!

Oopsie!

[Democrats Ascendant]

9. That is...

irrelevant at this point, and you know it.

[JonLeibowitz]

18. See post #15.

[grossproffit]

10. Unlike Kansas and Nebraska. 2 swing states!

[JonLeibowitz]

19. See post #15.

[dsc]

11. unlike NE and KS which we win every time

no wait, we haven't won those since 1964, unlike LA which we won in 76, 92, and 96.

[grossproffit]

13. +1

[JonLeibowitz]

17. See post #16.

[JonLeibowitz]

16. Fail! Obama won a Nebraska delegate in 2008.

[dsc]

21. He won one Congressional district

and it was a fluke. He still lost the state's EV by 4 to 1.

[JonLeibowitz]

23. So what? He won votes to the electoral college (ya know, the electors who decide the Presidency)

Unlike Louisiana.

[dsc]

24. they redrew since then

we have 0 chance of winning it this time.

[JonLeibowitz]

25. I guess that's why Rep. Brad Ashford (D-NE) lost the congressional district in the 2014 election?

Oops, not that either!

[dsc]

30. His opponent was horrible

He said this

During the United States federal government shutdown of 2013, Terry refused to give up his salary. He was asked if he would continue to collect his paychecks and replied, "dang straight". He said that he needed his paycheck to pay for his "nice house" and his child's college education, adding that "we cannot handle it. Giving our paycheck away when you still worked and earned it? That's just not going to fly."[25] He later apologized for the statement and said he would put his salary on hold.[26] Terry voted to pass a clean CR and end the government shutdown.[27]

of course he lost. But we still have zero chance of winning that district in the general and this congressman is likely to lose as well.

[JonLeibowitz]

31. "likely to lose as well" == 0% of the Dems winning the district for the presidency?

Doesn't quite add up.

[dsc]

33. He has the advantage of incumbency which counts for something

NC had a similar situation with Congressman McIntyre. He won in 2012 by about 1000 votes in a district Romney carried by about 10. In 2014, he decided not to run. There has been another redrawing since then that made it slightly less GOP but we still have no chance in that district, though McIntyre might.

[JonLeibowitz]

34. Interesting. You may be right.

Still, I think that district could be in play with the right kind of nominee. What I mean is I doubt Clinton could carry the district; Bernie might, but it would still be an uphill battle.

[okasha]

12. And they're Confederates!

Or Dixiecrats. Or ..... something.

[Beacool]

14. Yes, it's a big win.

I'm waiting to see the delegate count.

Nebraska: Sanders 14 delegates; Hillary 10 delegates

[jfern]

20. She was always going to get Alabam like numbers here

[Metric System]

28. That sounds dismissive of her huge support among African American voters.

[IsItJustMe]

22. Another state that won't matter in the General Election.

[Metric System]

27. As opposed to Kansas?

[bravenak]

29. This is remarkable.

None of her wins count

[JonLeibowitz]

32. Nebraska could matter. See post #15.

[tazkcmo]

26. Congratulations!
