March 8th Results: Idaho, Hawaii, Michigan, Mississippi

[misterx]

I call Michigan (Dem side) for Sanders by now. Not a big game-changer as I said, but it will keep Sanders-Fans giong.

There are still a lot of black votes in Detroit that haven't been reported. It's going to be close.

Bernie was up 17 pts until the Detroit metro area was tabulated and then it shrunk down to 0.8%!

It shouldn't be. Bernie Sanders was part of the civil rights movement when he was barely out of his teens. I wish he would talk about it a little more. All I know is what I read in articles. I would like to hear him tell the story about growing up Jewish in Brooklyn and being arrested in a civil rights protest in Chicago. It wouldn't persuade me to vote for him, but the story needs to be out there.

I still stand with my "call" well maybe I get corrected, but I dont think so

(Does not matter much in terms of delegates anyways)

If you are watching CNN - they just told some "BS". They said Mississippi would be winner-take-all if one would get over 50%. Thats wrong (it only applies to congressional districts, NOT to at-large delegates)

As I got some reputation for that post, here is the "proof":
"There is no winner-take-all trigger in Mississippi for a candidate who wins a majority of the statewide vote in the primary."

I trust this guy (blogger, and Lecturer at University of Georgia), as he is very commited in that business.

I dont think they did a exit poll in Idaho, but if so, we might get a "call" for Idaho in 2 minutes.

The way Trumpster is beating neocons first chioce Rubio is very controvercially incredible.

While it is true Lord's hand works mysteriously but this is too wild for well funded US political machinery.

 

[MarcusI]

CNN also almost calls Michigan for Sanders by now.

Update for Michigan GOP:

Est. in: 70%

Trump 36.9%
Kasich 24.6%
Cruz 24.5%
Rubio 9.2%

So... Rubio: no delegates at all. If Kasich or Cruz will be on 2nd place, doesnt matter at all in terms of delegates. Cruz+Kasich combined will get more delegates than Trump for sure.

Idaho has two time zones . . . so some northern Idaho polling places just closed.

America, you given me hope that we troll the Bolsheviks before the country finally goes under. Thank you!

 

[MarcusI]

No exit polls for Idaho available as I suspected.

 

[SpiritOf1776_J4]

I don't see Trump winning Hawaii. It's so liberal and multicultural. Rubio should do well there except his momentum is gone. Maybe Kasich will win it. Has anyone campaigned there?

I have no idea how Hawaii will vote, but actually, Trump is more like Hawaii and with more connections there then any of the other candidates. Trump is a liberal, not a social conservative, and actually owns a hotel there.

...yawn, I've seen this movie before.

Politically, Berlin was seen as a left wing stronghold, with the Nazis calling it "the reddest city [in Europe] after Moscow."[SUP][3][/SUP] Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels became his party's "Gauleiter" for Berlin in the autumn of 1926 and had only been in charge a week before organizing a march through a communist-sympathizing area that devolved into a street riot. The communists, who adopted the motto "Beat the fascists wherever you encounter them!" had their own paramilitary organization called the Roter Frontkämpferbund to battle the Nazis' Sturmabteilung (SA). In February 1927 the Nazis held a meeting in the "Red" stronghold of Wedding that turned into a violent brawl. "Beer glasses, chairs and tables flew through the hall, and severely injured people were left lying covered with blood on the floor. Despite the injuries, it was a triumph for Goebbels, whose thugs beat up about 200 communists and drove them from the hall."[SUP][4][/SUP]

 

[Jan2017]

Cruz only behind Kasich for the silver medal now by less than 1200 votes, with alot to still be counted.
Trump has won Michigan, according to A.P.

Mississippi GOP update:

Est. in: 92%

Trump 48.2%
Cruz 36.2%
Kasich 8.3%
Rubio 4.9%

That means: Neither Kasich nor Rubio -o, doing really bad) get any delegates. Good win for Trump he might get 2/3 of the 40 delegates, Cruz 1/3, thats my educated guess.
