Bernie v Joe, Who do you like?

[Eddie Teach]

I'm a little surprised we still have 47 posters.

You lurkers suck.

I'd like to know who the 4 secret Trumpers are.

Obama was a cult of personality.

That's some good quality bullshit right there.   

[Grey Fox]

Vote Sanders, you fools.

"Fools".  Yeah, that sounds like Sanders voters to me.

Sounds like everyone else to me. Greedy fools. I have no illusion, you are top 2 behind DerHitler around here.

Well, technically, you could say that there is only 1 federal election in the US.  And the person with the most votes doesn't win.  And I'm not talking about a situation such as in 2000 or 2016 in which a Presidential candidate wins the popular vote but wins in the Electoral College.  I'm talking about the fact that to win the Presidency, you have to get a majority, not just a plurality.

Not true. To win the Electoral Votes from a state you just need the most votes, not the majority of votes.

Re-read my post.  I wasn't talking about winning a state.  I'm talking about winning the Elector College vote itself.  You have to get a majority of the EC votes to be elected President;  a plurality isn't enough. 

I know. But this is a factor that has not been an issue since 1824 while Presidential candidates winning Electoral Votes without a majority in a state happens all the time. So until it happens again it is not really a political issues.

It's not clear that the 4 people who voted "This question scares me" are Trump supporters.  They might be scared because they think neither Bernie nor Biden can beat Trump in November.

In a totally unscientific poll on Facebook, one of the political pages I'm on asked who people were planning to vote for. Most of the 750 people who commented said either Warren first and Biden second, or Biden first and Warren second. Very few say Bernie, and most of those were men.

Again, totally unscientific, but interesting.

Most of the Bernie supporters I know are women. So there you go.

Is that also interesting?

[Caliga]

I like both of them.   So I'm pretty happy with tonight's results.  I can't make up my mind which of them is the better one to beat Trump, and my main priority is getting that piece of shit out of the White House.

It is to me, so thanks for sharing.

It's a well observed tendency for women to tend to be more in favour of socialist candidates whilst men are more prone to falling for fascism.
If men didn't have the vote then the whole brexit mess could have been avoided in the UK.
Not a massive surprise Sanders would poll better with women.

It is a little early to be hitting the sauce.

Bernie's exit polls from the earlier states seem to suggest a different dynamic (at least among voters)

Stop using facts to undermine perfectly good anecdotal evidence.
