Indies breaking 71-28 for Bernie, but...
Clinton, for her part, was aided by the fact that mainline Democrats accounted for a bigger than usual share of primary voters seven in 10, up from 62 percent in 2008 and on pace for a record in the state. She did much better with Democrats than with independents, a strongly pro-Sanders group, here as elsewhere.
Plus she is easily winning the African-American vote 74-26.

(5,591 posts)They were allowed provisional ballots but who knows if they were counted. Apparently, Maricopa was filled with a lot of pissed off Hillary supporters. I have a lot of friends and family in Arizona and they're still pissed. Arizona is Hillary country and they're mad that anyone could ever say otherwise.

(711 posts)We know there's a lot of access problems that affect both campaigns. It's just funny to me that this particular problem seems to mainly happen in closed primaries. I'm probably wrong, but it makes me raise an eyebrow.

(58 posts)You are stuck inside your own hopes for HRC.
If you resent Sanders for getting votes in Dem primaries that might have gone to HRC, how upset would you be if a 3rd party (no question that they would go for Sanders) sucked >70% of independent (erstwhile-Dem) voters away from her in the general?
If the Repubs unified behind their candidate, could HRC win a 3 way race despite losing so many potential voters?
If HRC captured 70% of indy voters, you would not be complaining.

(1,630 posts)Of course we have hopes for Hillary. The fact is, Bernie is winning with Independents and not Democrats, who outnumber them. That is why Hillary has the biggest popular vote lead of all the candidates.

(3,212 posts)I just don't think they have any business, voting in Democratic or GOP Primaries. Register for a party and stick with it. Or stay off the Primaries.
