Yeah but that was a given. I'm STILL not sure why that came as such a shock to people. She couldn't resist trying to respond in kind and it would probably backfire. Alas we'll never know... I suspect she drops out tomorrow.

Old black folks didn't give Biden Minnesota or Oklahoma. They're not making him competitive in Main or Mass. That's EXACTLY how I would see it playing out. Bernie ain't got time for childish games... I remember that.

I don 't think I've ever seen Bernie throw a cheap shot during a debate... which is something you would have to constantly do in debating the imbecile.

You think Bernie would be able to do that? I've never seen him play that game. Biden can... if he can remember his name that night.

What was that about? Where those animal rights activists or something?

CNN just called Colorado for Bernie and Tennessee for Biden.

I heard turnout in California was up too. Someone mentioned it when I was on line to vote.

Sander's lead in Texas is growing and he's winning Colorado.

That's one way to look at it... here are several others. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/11/09/why-2016-election-polls-missed-their-mark/ https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/31/upshot/a-2016-review-why-key-state-polls-were-wrong-about-trump.html There's more and I could keep posting them. I know that there's a view out there that the polls were NOT wrong, it was the media coverage and confirmation bias. There's an opposing view that the polls DID get it wrong in 2016. There's also a view that polls got Brexit wrong in 2015 as well. Again, I don't want to debate this and i don't want to derail the thread. If folks want to further rely on polls cool. Something was off and maybe it was an anomaly in that cycle, maybe it wasn't. i don't know. I just made a statement that I don't pay much attention to polls anymore.

I know that... I just don't see what Bloomberg's appeal would be to someone who had Warren as their preferred candidate. I had dinner with a buddy of mine last night who is a BIG Warren supporter and he had nothing but disdain for Bloomberg. He also lived in Bloomberg's New York for so that may have something to do with it

I'm not gonna get into a debate here, but a lot of major polls WERE wrong. There's been a bunch of theories as to why, the most prevailing theory being that truly undecided voters broke for Trump at the last minute. That may or may not be true, but it still doesn't change the fact that polls, for whatever reason, showed they aren't always reliable. If folks want to still pay attention to them cool

I knew that's what you meant, by how in GOD'S name do you go from Warren to Bloomberg? That literally makes no sense. I would think they would go to Bernie.

Another question, who is Bloomberg pulling from because he's running second or third in a lot of places.

After 2016, I don't put a lot of stock in polls.

Does Warren get blamed for if Bernie underperforms tonight? Also how are Colorado and Minnesota looking? I expect those to be big Bernie states.

We're still paying attention to Polls?

I'm surprised Bernie isn't doing better in the Vermont's neighboring states too... Why isn't he doing better in those states?

Whoa... I never said it did. What the hell?

I think THIS is the more surprising thing for me... and Texas and California. If you would have asked me last week if Biden had a chance in California I would have said hell no. Now? I'm not so sure.

To be fair, The Biden team have been saying this since the primaries started "wait until we get until the more diverse states." Again none of this is shocking to me at all.

Are people really surprised Bernie isn't doing better in The South I've been telling folks for the last couple of years that he stood NO CHANCE in the South. I really don't understand why folks are so surprised.

Same with ours in LA... there's a big "More" button at the bottom of the screen that you'd have to be bind to miss and there are people explaining to voters how to use the machines.

It was at the place I voted. The instructions were very clear and weren't confusing at all and there were people there explaining how the new machines work. Still it was weird to see Cory Booker still on the ballot.

Voting in LA today... been on line for over an hour. Rows of unused machines at my polling place
