Epic massive blowout in the making in Florida!

[DCBob]

Hillary up by over 30 points!!

[brooklynite]

1. But it's in the SOUTH!!! It never goes Democratic in the GE!

[DCBob]

3. Didnt the Bernie internals show this a single digit race??

[DrDan]

5. oh really - PBO carried Fl twice

[brooklynite]

10. I don't put SARC tags on my posts...I assume the audience is smart enough

[DrDan]

13. guess you assumed wrong

[Hortensis]

23. From 538 minutes ago

HARRY ENTEN 7:26 PM
In order for Sanders to keep the delegate count close after tonight, he needs to do well in Florida. There is absolutely no sign that he’s going to do so from the early votes being reported in the state. He is trailing in big Democratic counties: Broward by 51 percentage points, Miami-Dade by 61 percentage points, Orange by 37 percentage points and Palm Beach by 50 percentage points. And with so many Floridians casting early ballots this year, Clinton looks like she’ll win the vast majority of the 214 delegates up for grabs in the state tonight.

It's very early, though. We'll see. Go, Democrats!

[NCTraveler]

16. +1

Love my state!!! Crazy as hell!!! We have it all. Lol

[DrDan]

2. yow - winning by 34% now

[DCBob]

6. Growing by the minute!

[democrattotheend]

4. with 2% of the vote in?

Um, congratulations on winning the first 2%.

[DCBob]

7. 36% in at the moment.

[DrDan]

8. 36% in - leading by 34%

[brooklynite]

11. Early votes reporting

[Jackie Wilson Said]

9. Actual turnout numbers will be very important.

Nothing can match 2008 for obvious reasons, but my fear is the Trump candidacy which has now given credibility to people to be openly racist and bigoted, will show up in big numbers to vote for the candidate who will allow them to illegally discriminate and randomly inflict physical harm on anybody they dont like.

[kydo]

12. Yeah but we got Disney which means Star Wars so they can't trow us under the bus

The force will not look kindly on that .....

[speaktruthtopower]

14. She's just trampling him...

hard to make that up elsewhere.

[DCBob]

19. Huge delegate gain..

probably around +90 delegates gain just in FL.

Woot!

[bigwillq]

15. I expect (ed) Mrs. Clinton to win big in FLA.

Congrats to her.

[DCBob]

36. Yep. It was expected but still you never know until the votes come in.

Big delegate pickup.

[CajunBlazer]

17. With one third of FL vote in - 66.8% -m 31.0%

[dana_b]

18. Not a surprise with a closed primary but

I think that some of the people going to vote today didn't realize that it was a closed primary. They should have looked it up prior to today.

She should do pretty well in NC too.

[Happenstance24]

32. You do realize...

all the upcoming big states like CA, NY, NJ, PA are closed primaries, right?

[NCTraveler]

20. Question?

Are mail ins tabulated first? I expect Clinton to perform stronger with them.

[DCBob]

21. I think those came in first.. very early.. I believe.

But the most of big gains came later.

[NCTraveler]

22. Awesome!!! Thanks. Nt

[NWCorona]

24. Yeah it's not looking to good for Bernie in Florida

I still hope he can close it up some.

How late are you gonna be up watching the results come in?

[DCBob]

25. Not sure.. we will see how this goes.

For sure this is going to be interesting in the midwest states. It might go late before we know who wins those.

[NWCorona]

35. True!

I'm all the way over in Seattle so it's still early here but I'm thinking I'm still gonna be up late lol!

Good luck tonight!

[DCBob]

38. Thanks.

Same to you.

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. My daughter is one of 2 Bernie voters who were

told they couldn't vote because they had switched their registration. Only problem there is that she's a registered Den.

[MineralMan]

27. Democratic voters.

Closed primary. Democrats support her.

[DCBob]

30. Yeah. That's all sounds fine to me.

[ScreamingMeemie]

31. My daughter is a registered Dem who doesn't support her. She and another Dem in her

Kissimmee precinct were turned away for "switching" their registrations in 2012. Only problem is that didn't happen. She's contacted her candidate's headquarters and they are looking into it.

[stevenleser]

28. Wow. Those margins are enormous. She is going to pad her delegate lead big time

Woohoo!!!

[DCBob]

29. Yes indeed. Probably a 90+ gain.

Yuuuuge!

[stevenleser]

34. She is up by huge numbers in NC too and looks like will win Ohio!

Looks like a good night for Hillary indeed!

[DCBob]

37. yeah I just saw that too.

Looking very very good so far!

[LonePirate]

33. 538's delegate targets before results: H = 116 and B = 98

The results so far suggest a much larger margin than 18.
