Super Tuesday

So far, it looks like Rubio and Sanders are the big losers.


Trump v Cruz is a race to the bottom all the way to the convention?

Cruz has won two states - Texas and Oklahoma. Rubio did much better than Cruz in Virginia but he still lost to Trump. This is good news for Trump because in a two-person race, Rubio fares better against him than Cruz.

Except it isn't a two-person race.

Well it probably will be eventually. Not after tonight, I guess. Kasich is gung-ho on Ohio and Carson just said he won't get out. Third will be tough for Rubio but he'll hang in until at least Florida in two weeks.

Sanders lost the primary?

Sanders lost most of them.  At least he won Vermont.

Sanders won Minnesota, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Vermont. 4/11 states

He still hasn't lost the primary, though. More to come in later days obviously.

EDIT: Super Tuesday was expected to be the big day for Clinton anyway. Now we see what happens next.

He lost most, sure, but he won 4, and came close to tying Massachusetts.

Remember, delegates are distributed proportional to the votes a candidate gets, so even though he lost several states, he won delegates in all of them. In terms of pledged delegates, Hillary is only just ahead of Sanders.

I think the gap is only around 200 pledged delegate points, and there's still a couple more thousands to snatch for nomination.

So fight's not over yet at all for Sanders (contrary to what the mainstream media would like to say).

Um...

Quote:Delegates won
2,383 needed for nomination · 3,434 available
Pledged delegatesSuperdelegates

Clinton   Sanders
984           347

There are upcoming primaries in Louisiana, Illinois, and Florida.  You can use Google as easily as I can.  Just check for Democratic Presidential Primary Polls in x

And add in the name of the state where the x is.


You'll get something like this.
