| Kennedy is not a good guy. He proves it by retiring and letting Trump name his replacement. Like everyone here, I am sorry to see Kennedy go. Mostly because we will get an Scalia clone, a la Gorsuch.
Still, he did cast some awful votes:
- Citizen United
- The muslin ban
- The racially motivated gerrymandering. In fact he could’ve... |

| More people voted for Hillary Clinton for President than for any white man in history. As per AP, Hillary Clinton’s lead in the popular vote is now almost 1.6 million votes.
Since the election, Hillary and her campaign have been second guessed and vilified as weak and incompetent. Some Bernie supporters have been very generous with... |

| Forget Florida and Ohio. These are the "must win" states for Hillary I have been obsessively checking out the early voting in Florida.
We seem to be doing pretty well today, regardless of the Bloomberg poll showing him 2 points ahead.
That poll is giving people heartburn (if you’re for her) or hope (if you’re for... |

| If Hillary loses, it's because she was un-electable all along. I am a die hard Hillary supporter. I think she would be a fantastic POTUS. I wholeheartedly agree with President Obama: She is, by far, the most qualified candidate since God knows when. Certainly more qualified than Bill and Obama when they won the... |

| Is Trump in danger of imploding too soon? (With poll) Since Donald Trump clinched the GOP nomination for POTUS, the spectacle of him getting pummeled from every angle has been deeply emotionally satisfying.

| Now, CA is a must win for Hillary? Give me a f-ing break. Finally, the greatest state in the country (my state) is about the vote for the Democratic Nominee for POTUS.
Thanks to being the most populous state, the number of delegates dwarfs the delegate count of every single state that has voted already.

| One of these two people will be the next President of the United States. I am a die-hard Democratic supporter. So, it wouldn’t matter to me who the GOP nominates.

| Forget polls. The name of the game this year is DEMOGRAPHICS. The polls were wrong again.
They predicted a narrow Clinton win, but we got a narrow (but comfortable) Sanders win.

Hillary beats expectations (well, at least mine). Congratulations to Sen. Sanders for winning Wyoming.
As as Hillary supporter I am happy with this result. I was expecting a blowout like in the previous caucuses.

| Sanders had a great night, but he still fell short I am using 538 delegate count.
2026 is 50% + 1 of the total pledge delegates at the convention.

| Sanders needs to win at least 76 delegates today. In order to catch Hillary, Sanders needs to win 58% of all the remaining delegates.
Today there are 131 delegates in play. 58% of 131 is 76.
The 538 delegate targets for each state are no longer valid.

| For those who are upset about Clinton's comment on Nancy Reagan and AIDS, please view this video Hillary Clinton made a stupid mistake when she praised Nancy Reagan on the subject of AIDS.
But it was just that, a mistake. She apologized for it.

Like many of you, I found yesterday’s defeat in Michigan a very bitter pill to swallow.

| Comparing Delegate counts between 2016 and 2008 After Super Tuesday I calculated the number of delegates that Clinton, Sanders and Obama won for the same states that have voted, in 2016 and 2008.

| Clinton started Saturday with a lead of 201 delegates.
Ends the day with a lead of 211 delegates. Per 538, Hillary got 4 extra delegates from Tuesday’s election.
This increased her delegate lead from 197 to 201 delegates.
After today’s victory in Louisiana and defeats in Kansas and Nebraska, she got this:

| Comparing delegate counts in 2008 and 2016 One of the main talking points coming from the Clinton campaign is that Hillary is now farther ahead than Obama ever was in 2008.
