Bernie mops the floor and crushes the crap out of clinton in Idaho and Utah.

[Cobalt Violet]

Go Bernie Go! 2 absolute blowouts!

[reddread]

1. body parts of the Clinton campaign found strewn across Idaho and Utah

cereal killers suspected.

[JaneyVee]

2. LOL.

[jcgoldie]

3. Hmm

You forgot a state.

[Cobalt Violet]

6. No I didn't. This thread is about Utah and Idaho. Everything else is disruptive.

Please stick to the topic. Please proceed.

[DanTex]

23. That's a great campaign slogan for Bernie. Only Utah and Idaho matter!

[Cobalt Violet]

47. and hillary can win a GE with all the supporters in the deep south.

[DanTex]

48. LOL. Deep south states like Ohio?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

4. As goes Utah and Idaho so goes the nation.

Said no person ever.

[Bluenorthwest]

32. Hillary wins small Red State, 'Those voters matter, how dare you say otherwise'. Hillary loses small

Red State 'Those voters don't matter, don't count and should not have been allowed to cast a ballot at all!'

One sees the double standard and tends to assume that there must be some motivation for such glaring inconsistencies.

[RichGirl]

5. But...

What Bernie people need to realize is that our leaders represent the people. When the consciousness of the people raises, so will our leaders. So, don't hold out for a Gandhi like leader. When you consider the popularity of Trump, the people are way more ignorant than I ever even imagined.

Hillary is not perfect...nobody is perfect...but she's experienced and I think she wants to do good. If the Clintons were all about money, they wouldn't bother with politics.

We had high hopes for Obama...and then saw what the GOP congress did. They will do the same thing with Bernie and all his promises would be lost. They'll do the same thing to Hillary but she has more fight in her.

[Cobalt Violet]

7. this is off topic!

The post is about Utah and Idaho.

[Agschmid]

8. ...

[FSogol]

13. Laughable. DU has no rules about being off topic.

[redstateblues]

29. Off topic- Chris Christie tactic. LOL

[bbgrunt]

9. I like your attitude.

[Renew Deal]

10. And is still no closer to the nomination

D'oh

[Cobalt Violet]

15. He's the only Democratic candidate not under FBI investigation.

D'oh

[DemocratSinceBirth]

[randome]

24. Oh, that's good.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]A ton of bricks, a ton of feathers, it's still gonna hurt.[/center][/font][hr]

[JoePhilly]

25. Bwahahaha!!!!

[NuclearDem]

28. You, sir, are a rascal :3

[Renew Deal]

21. And yet Hillary is still beating him by 2.5 million votes

What's wrong with Bernie if he can't win under such favorable conditions?

[beachbum bob]

11. those states are true blue states...lol

so how much further did bernie fall behind in popular vote...and he gained what 5 delegates on hillary's lead of 320+....?....its the math and its not working for sanders

[Cobalt Violet]

12. Yeah as blue as the deep south.

[redstateblues]

30. Mass? What happened there? oh yeah

conspiracies of stolen elections always come out when Bernie loses

[Jitter65]

14. Yeah, the western Vermont states. nt

[Cobalt Violet]

16. what?

[yardwork]

17. Why the violent imagery?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. I would like an answer to that , too...

[yardwork]

22. I've noticed a lot of violent words directed at Hillary and her supporters.

Read on DU in recent weeks (may not be exact quotes, but this is how I remember them) -

"Hit her with a two by four!"
"Hillary, fuck yourself with a brick!"
"I'm wishing harm on Hillary supporters and their children."

What's going on here? I've been on DU since 2004 and I've never seen these kinds of posts, except by trolls posted during unmaskings, right before they were banned.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

26. Some folks are frustrated by their inability to control others.

There is nothing more dangerous than a person with an authoritarian personality who sees his or her goals being frustrated.

[Cobalt Violet]

40. go rain on someone else's parade.

[Darb]

19. Caucuses.

Not remotely precise as to the opinion of the electorate. Especially with one so far ahead.

[Cobalt Violet]

38. suck it up buttercup!

Go Bernie!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

46. What's with the

What's with the violent imagery:

Bernie mops the floor and crushes the crap out of clinton in Idaho and Utah.

and the pejoratives and epithets:

suck it up buttercup!

Is this your ersatz audition for 'Orange is the New Black' ?

[Tarc]

27. It's called "selective campaigning"

The Clinton campaign did not place value on those states and instead focused on Arizona. The result? Sanders' 2 states to her 1 net him a +6.

Sanders campaign is 1 strep forward, 2 steps back the entire run. He'll make up a few in the next few states, then get clobbered in NY.

[Bluenorthwest]

35. I thought it was super wrong to write some States off? Or was that last week when Bernie lost

States he'd selected to campaign less heavily in? Some States are superior to others, is that your theory?

[Tarc]

45. Some states have more delegates. Y'know, math and stuff

Do you think either presidential candidate will visit Idaho in the fall? Alaska? Wyoming? No.


Btw, what was the other aspect you wanted to discuss? Spending?

Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders Led in North Carolina Ad Spending While Others Trod Lightly

Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont cut a version of his anti-trade deal ad for North Carolina, focusing on the state’s furniture and textile industries. He is outspending Hillary Clinton by nearly a 2-to-1 ratio in the state.

Hillary won NC, 59-46 (delegates).

Sanders wins overshadowed by Arizona loss[div]

Sanders invested heavily in Arizona. He more than doubled Clinton’s ad spending there, dropping $1.3 million on television advertising over the past week compared to Clinton’s $600,000. And he campaigned in the state on virtually every one of the past seven days.

Hillary won NC, 43-27 (delegates, 5 outstanding).

[livetohike]

31. LOL. Two states that won't go Dem. in the GE.

Wasn't this the Sanders' supporters whining as Hillary swept the South by huge margins?

[Cobalt Violet]

34. hehehe! Just like all those states in the south.

[NuclearDem]

33. You closed the 300+ delegate lead by 6, and it took three states to do so.

[oberliner]

36. Bernie does very well in states that are 90+ percent white

Hillary has won by wide margins in states where the majority of Democratic voters are non-white.

[geek tragedy]

37. no complaint from Bernie fans about the voting problems in Utah and how caucuses

suppress votes?

[Cobalt Violet]

42. this is off topic!

Go spread you hate elsewhere.

[NuclearDem]

43. Talking about Utah is off-topic in a thread about Utah?

If you say so.

[KitSileya]

49. Yeah you're only allowed to talk about Utah in this thread,

If what you say is positive for SBS.

[workinclasszero]

39. Confederate red states

don't count.

Virtual ties.

Caucuses are an affront to democracy...etc.

[Cobalt Violet]

41. what in the world are you talking about?

[NuclearDem]

44. How certain Sanders supporters opinions have shifted.

Iowa and Nevada were abortions of democracy, and Democrats in the Deep South didn't count because they're red states, but now caucuses in Idaho, Utah, Nebraska, and Kansas are great victories.
