Hillary takes Florida by almost 2 to 1

[RealAmericanDem]

Wonder why?

[mcar]

1. What is your theory?

[Cali_Democrat]

2. Huh? The Florida results have been released? nt

[democrattotheend]

4. About 2% of the Florida results

5. I saw a tweet where she won the Tampa-Orlando corridor by 30.

I think this may be early voters only, though, so that margin will likely drop when final results arrive.

[Hortensis]

20. Yes, way too early. Hurry up!! :)

[RealAmericanDem]

26. It's the stick a fork in rule

[LP2K12]

3. And yet...

Not a single friend or family member that I know of in Florida voted for her. All for Bernie. Hmmmm, so it goes.

As did my spouse and son.

[LP2K12]

10. Thanks for voting...

Just glad to hear we've got voters on our side.

[NCTraveler]

12. This Floridian voted for her.

As did three of the five people I brought to the polls. Not sure who the other two voted for. Also know a couple of people who voted for Sanders.

[redstateblues]

14. Everybody I knew at the time voted for McGovern

How is it possible that Nixon won?

[firebrand80]

22. LOL, right nt

[Wednesdays]

31. Nixon won the Democratic primary?

[lmbradford]

6. misleading

10% of the votes are not the results

[NCTraveler]

15. Yup. Still a long way to go.

Maybe not to call the state, but percentages make a big difference in a proportional primary state.

[reformist2]

7. Closed primary, super-old people live there.

[RandySF]

9. No real Americans, huh?

[dana_b]

16. what?? of course they're Americans

and we all know that Hillary is popular with older folks and being a closed primary left out the indys who are more likely to vote for Bernie.

I don't see this outcome in Florida as a shock at all. I think she'll do equally as well in NC.

[reformist2]

18. Of course they're Americans. Just explaining why Florida is so out of the norm.

[NCTraveler]

13. I don't consider myself to be "super old."

Can you put a number on that?

[Armstead]

23. Old is 10 years older than whatever one happens to be at the time

[NCTraveler]

27. Best answer for the question. Lol Thanks. Nt

[Tony_FLADEM]

11. I voted for Bernie as did other people in my family

Hopefully Bernie Sanders can get into the 40's and pickup a significant number of delegates.

[JackRiddler]

17. AHEM. 5% counted and the delegate count...

is supers only. Nothing has been awarded yet, most of the map is blank.

[DCBob]

19. I thought Bernie's internals had this race in single digits?!?

[k8conant]

21. Why are they reporting results already? CBS says polls close at 8 ET

and it's not 7:30 yet

[BumRushDaShow]

24. Only a couple counties in FL close at 8

The rest closed at 7 pm.

[k8conant]

30. OK, thanks nt

[RealAmericanDem]

25. They close at 7:PM except for the panhandle which is in a different time zone

Hillary has a lead greater than the number of people up there.

[k8conant]

29. So??? nt

[jcgoldie]

28. Its the same story with the delegates

If she beats him by 20+ in Florida the delegate differential will be so substantial that it won't really matter if he ekes out wins in the Midwest.

[Cavallo]

32. Very sad for this country. These people must have hated Occupy (which was against the 1%)

Hillary's super pack spells 1%. Why are so many people voting for Lobbyists? Do they actually not understand what a super pac full of lobbyists means? Read her donors, the biggest congressional corporate lobbyist groups in the country.

I just don't understand how anyone that wants corporations to stop running our government would vote for Hillary. I guess they don't have a problem with that and I do so I'm just fringe.
