AP Exit Poll:

The problem with open primaries.

Indiana GOP voters pick Trump, but party divided

BERNIE BROS

Most men supported Sanders, while women were about equally divided between him and Clinton. Two-thirds of voters under 45 voted for Sanders, while 6 in 10 of those 45 and over voted for Clinton.

Three-quarters of black voters supported Clinton, but they were far outnumbered by white voters, nearly 6 in 10 of whom supported Sanders. Nearly two-thirds of white voters without a college degree supported Sanders.

A majority of self-described Democrats supported Clinton, but 7 in 10 self-described independents supported Sanders. Six in 10 of those who said they are very liberal supported Sanders, while Clinton was supported by moderates.

Among Sanders voters, nearly half said they think he will win the nomination. Nearly all Clinton voters think she will. Still, voters consider Sanders more inspirational and honest, while they see Clinton as more realistic and electable.

villain they wanted him to be while pumping up bush2.

That's when I stopped watching corp media. November 2002. Iraq is the media's fault.. sure the neocons were a driving force but it wouldn't have happened if the media hadn't been complicit.

President Obama learned to work around m$m and through it.. and they hate him.. he's stronger than they are.. just like Hillary.

Inspiring others to think capitalism is evil, inspiring others to obsess over a speech. Inspiring others to believe free trade is bad.

Honest? More LOL.

the results have been...regardless of region.
Bernie wins with Independents, 18-45 and white men.
Hillary with women, over 45, Latinos, African Americans.
I think that Hillary can pull most of those from Bernies base in Nivember except maybe white males over 45.

was about half as much!

2008 1,278,296. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Democratic_primary,_2008

2016 - so far with +99% total reporting - 628,857. http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/indiana

I spent many a primary thinking, "When it's over, why bother?"
