Bernie Won 50% of Women; Hillary 49%!

[berni_mccoy]

He also won 50% of registered Democrats! So much for him not winning closed primaries... Lol.
He also won 73% of independents!

He won every income bracket by significant margins under $200k. Hillary only won income brackets above that.

Hillary's Firewall is broken!

[warrprayer]

1. The Bern is inevitable

bwahahahaha!!!

[onehandle]

2. In an open primary loaded with 'Independents.'

Open primaries and caucuses are running out fast.

[berni_mccoy]

5. He won 50% of registered Dems. Think Hillary has a real problem

[onehandle]

7. Open primary. Data is worthless. nt

[berni_mccoy]

8. Lolololololololol

[CoffeeCat]

27. Of course the data is worthless

when you don't like the data.

[thesquanderer]

59. The 50% dem figure lets you know about what he would have gotten if it were a closed primary. (n/t)

[noamnety]

14. Hillary supporters are underestimating the significance of that.

I'm in a state where we don't declare a party. If I had to register to vote in a closed state, you can bet I'd register as a dem so I have a say in who's representing the left, given that we really only have a two party system. I can't be the only person who thinks that way.

If he won half the registered dems in a state where people have no incentive to register a party affiliation, he's going to win more than half in the states where people have to register to vote in a primary.

[PeaceNikki]

30. We don't register with a party in Wisconsin. There are no "registered Democrats" here.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

17. How many closed general elections are there?

?

[onehandle]

23. Most of them for the rest of the primary are closed.

25% of the U.S. population has their primaries this month.

[hereforthevoting]

3. As a woman, I feel that there is no other choice

FFS he is more leftist on abortion!

[me b zola]

46. Sanders is the only Dem or Rep to say unequivocally that he trusts women with their own health care

...Just BAM! I trust women with their own health care. No equivocation. No exceptions when he feels that women need big-brother in their examination room.

No need to take a poll to see how his beliefs will stand up to the voters desires. He states his position and encourages you to join him in the larger cause.

[bettyellen]

51. He's the only Dem candidate who has taken no initiative at all to expand women's access to

reproductive health services. Hillary has done a ton of heavy lifting and advocacy over the years. SBS cosigns other people's legislation, and then tells audiences not to think about abortion laws. How kind of him to stick his neck out.

[Human101948]

53. What heavy lifting? She named a freaking post office while Senator...

Does that count as "heavy lifiting?"

[bettyellen]

70. Look it up, not doing the lifting for you.

[pdsimdars]

67. She did 3 bills in the Senate

Renaming a post office
Renaming part of a highway and some other totally non consequential thing.

Probably afraid not to take a firm stand on anything she couldn't talk herself out of.

[bettyellen]

71. Wow so you don't know about the legislation she worked on or her success helping get Plan B to

OTC status, aweome. Lecture me more, despite your ignorance.

[me b zola]

69. Hillary's "heavy lifiting" doesn't pan out

Hillary can at times sound as though she stands with us regular people, but when you get right down to it, its all word salad meant to lure regular people into her web.

[beam me up scottie]

4. That has to sting, women were supposed to flock to Hillary this time.

And yet we continue to reject her. I guess we're all sexists who're going to hell.

[Joob]

6. Go Bernie, Also little off topic. But I hate you all with those bug gifs

It's making me itch like crazy. One time I literally had a tiny spider crawl around on the inside of my screen, and I use one of those big tv screens as my monitor. Agh.

[Mike__M]

33. There's a story behind the prolification of the bug

I'll just say the bug is there to annoy Her supporters.

[Joob]

38. Well I need some context this sounds interesting!!!! NT

[Mike__M]

40. You could start here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027316901

post #110, for example.

The subsequent appearance of bloody fly swatters, boots, spray cans, etc. was not very well calculated to win support for Her team.

[pdsimdars]

68. Yes, and there must be something inherently sexist about them too.

[Sky Masterson]

9. 50 percent of Wisconsin Women are Bernie Bros.

.

[Betty Karlson]

12. I thought that, per Albright and Steinem, they are hell-bound sluts lusting after Berniebros?

[bobbobbins01]

10. And the stupid MSNBC headline says he won "thanks to young voters, men."

They try to get every little jab in that they can.

[JVS]

15. That's accurate though.

Hillary has a problem with men, at least in Wisconsin. She only got 35% of men's votes. Even though she also lost women, the bulk of the margin of victory here came from men.

In contrast there was no gender gap between Cruz and Trump. Trump lost both by the same proportion.

[shadowandblossom]

42. yeah,

That's what I've seen too, she just doesn't do as well with men, and she does better with women.

[tralala]

48. Sanders does better with young women than young men

[shadowandblossom]

50. That's really interesting.

Do you have a source on that though.

And hey, I'm curious, if it's right, why do you think that is?

[tralala]

52. From Reuters

?w=431

As to why, IMO it's because "millenials" are left-wing, and Sanders is the most left-wing of the viable candidates.

[shadowandblossom]

55. Sanders does do better with young women than men :)

What the heck? Wonder why...

He does better with millenials and I think a part of it is because he's more liberal. I think that's a part of it.

Why do you think he does better with millenial women than men? I'm really just interested. If you don't want to get into it that's cool.

[Betty Karlson]

11. That's why Hill is going Down-Hill now: her campaign is at a complete loss.

[shadowandblossom]

44. After all she's only over 200 delegates and 2.4 million votes ahead...

[Betty Karlson]

72. cobbled math: caucus results always have lower vote totals. Sanders won a lot of those

and he won 8 out of the last 9 contests. Clinton is going down, and she knows it.

[shadowandblossom]

73. "cobbled math." Not at all, she's just way ahead.

.

[Betty Karlson]

74. The above post was brought to you by "la la la I can't hear you". eom

[shadowandblossom]

75. You're entitled to your own opinions, you're not entitled to your own facts.

.

[Betty Karlson]

76. You are entitled to your own apples and your own oranges, but not

entitled to lump them in with one another. Agreed?

[Tarc]

13. In a white, open primary state! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[RampageSnipa586]

16. What do you consider a black state then? n/t

[ForgoTheConsequence]

18. I didn't realize states had races.

Interesting comment.

[NWCorona]

20. And that's the only fall back you've got

And a weak one at that.

[Tarc]

21. Sanders could win every state left at 57%, and win NY by something low like 52%

And Clinton would STILL come out on top in the pledged delegate count.

I think you really lack a perspective here on how this race is winding down.

[reformist2]

34. What a way for Hillary to creep across the finish line, all broken down and running out of gas...

[Tarc]

35. It's not actually going to happen that way

Just illustrating the extreme, and why Sanders has no chance to close that gap.

Math. Period.

[reformist2]

36. Open your eyes, it's already happening. Losing seven in a row isn't good for a "frontrunner"

[Tarc]

37. Do you really need to be educated on this?

Sanders' bailiwick (old-timey word, look it up) were the states with either an open caucus, predominately white, or both. They were also mostly low-delegate counts, except for Washington.

We're all but done (Indiana I believe is the last) with those, as the calendar now turns to diverse states with piles of delegates, and they are also closed primaries, i.e. registered Dems only. These are the ones in which Clinton performs best.

[shadowandblossom]

54. sites I relied on for my information said that would happen.

So I expected it in advance. Cookpoliticalreport definitely said things would go down this way and I think fivethirtyeight also said this would happen. So I wasn't surprised by his stream of wins, and neither of those people thought it would change anything. So...

[Octafish]

25. So why the name ''Bernie Bros''?

It's a smear.

[me b zola]

47. This Abuela sez "bernie-bros" is a smear

Granny-Power!

[Octafish]

49. ¡Y yo habuelo!

"Lelo Franki."

Love ya, me b zola! What we've seen over the years on DU we shall share with them!

[jcgoldie]

26. And he won African Americans by...

...wait how much did he win African American voters by again?

[PeaceNikki]

29. He lost with 31%

[w4rma]

56. Clinton lost the Native American vote by about 31%. (nt)

[PeaceNikki]

57. Can you cite the source for that data?

TIA

[w4rma]

58. Menominee County results plus the difference between the two race tables in the OP

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1657618

[PeaceNikki]

61. Thanks, but that is one county with about 650 total votes.

And it assumes that every single one of them is a Native American. Many? Most? Probably. But that's not data which can necessarily be extrapolated to the whole state.

http://apps.mprnews.org/election2016/national/wisconsin-d/

100% of the Native Americans I know voted for Clinton but I wouldn't try to claim that is representative of the whole state. Hell, the small villages I live in had 6 times the number of votes as that whole county.

[w4rma]

62. The difference in the two race tables *can* be extrapolated to the entire state. (nt)

[PeaceNikki]

63. Not really, no. Your claim that he won NA by 31% is dubious.

[w4rma]

64. No, not really. Your claim that he didn't is dubious. (nt)

[PeaceNikki]

65. Lol, I am not claiming he did or didn't because there is no way to know.

There's no data which shows us. And the results of one county with a population of 4,500 people is not supportive of either.

[PeaceNikki]

28. We don't register with a party in Wisconsin. There are no "registered Democrats" here.

[DrDan]

31. seems to me when one posts results from a particular state, that state should be mentioned

somewhere in the OP

a critical piece of information imo

On the other hand, it one wants to imply that data is nationwide, then omit the state.

[jcgoldie]

32. How exactly did he win 73% of independents in a "closed primary"

Do you even know what a closed primary is?

[seabeyond]

39. He has won women vote in three states. WI, NH and Vt. Clinton has the rest of the states. And nation

[shadowandblossom]

41. In Texas every income group voted for Clinton big time and 70% of women.

and 61% of men. Wisconsin has very good demographics for Sanders, and Texas liberals had better demographics for Clinton. Lets look at those numbers:

Under 30k = 72% Clinton
30-50k = 61% Clinton
50-100k = 54% Clinton

PS: Wisconsin has open primaries, not closed ones.

pss: we could probably find info from every state they won, respectively, that reflected something we we wanted to show... That doesn't mean it translates nationally.

http://www.cnn.com/election/primaries/polls/tx/Dem

[Demsrule86]

43. Wisconsin is an open primary

There is evidence that the GOP was part of the Dem vote as right wing judge ...anti gay...was elected at the same time. Wisconsin is an open primary. I lived there. The fact you mention independents shows this.

[shadowandblossom]

45. I figured those were the 15% of Sanders supporters who didn't support

others on the Democratic ticket or supported the Republican. Part of it could be crossover vote, the other part indifference to progressive issues... Kinda like the seven percent, or so, of Democrats who voted on the Repub. side in the open primaries in Michigan who were identified in exit polls.
