Why would republicans vote, their race is over.

And, quite frankly, do you really think people just "stop" caring in six days?

Most people aren't really all that engaged.

technically Trump does not still have it... I am amazed I have to explain this on a partisan site. Though should check in the morning for the final count. He is close to it.

Yah sure whatever.

Trump has it. To pretend otherwise is just ridiculous, not shocked that's the option you picked.

sorry if this is hard for you to comprehend.

We moved to GE coverage, but technically he does not have it yet. Since the others dropped, he is expected to get them, perhaps even before CA, but let's assume it goes that far.... He still needs to win ever CD in CA to get all 3 PDs for example, per CD, plus the state delegates. Yes, he could get that, with literally a single vote for per district if nobody else voted. but very technically he still needs 130 delegates. He is expected to get them for the record.

The fact that this highly technical point has to be explained in a political board is sad... and yes it is highly technical.

You can argue with the AP for that data by the way... Here you go...

And they are using SDs in the D side, which technically they should not either. I am not going to bother explaining to you why technically they should not. You might want to check what DWS had to say about that on MSNBC air last year. Suffice it to say, she told everybody to stop doing that shit.

The act is wearing thin.

that you too could find using the google and letting your fingers do the talking. This willful ignorance, though is getting thin as an act, in that you are correct. People who pretend to follow this as close as you pretend to do that, should know this shit. It is not that difficult to find, though I admit it can be maddeningly complex at times.

But there is a reason why Trump is the PRESUMPTIVE nominee. One of the reasons is no convention yet, so he has not been formally nominated. The second is this 130 delegate deficit. Yes very technically speaking a crazy member of the GOP, if he does not get all 1237 delegates, on the first ballot, could open that whole can of worms.

And those of us who follow this shit closely would not mind. Oh the potential entertainment. Indeed, that is precisely the reasoning behind Cruz's little suicidal love note this morning that he might still challenge Trump on the floor of the convention. (And I do not think I need to explain why that could be suicide for Cruz's political career, or at least I hope I don't have to) By the way, talk is that Rubio might be the VEEP. So if Marco pledges his delegates to trump (159), it is pretty much over that hump.

But thanks for playing, see you next time.

did I pass the test teach?

Seriously there are times I am baffled... and not in a good way.

I'm guessing their news sources are reporting something they don't like.

Don't let them get to you, nadin.

I actually pointed this to a few folks last night.

I'm saying of course their turnout was lower, their contest is effectively over.

Voters still vote.

If that is not a factor, then this is really good news for us.

Of course there's no mention of that in your post.

Big problem for all those "math" fans.

G'nite!

unrecognizable as the party of FDR

that is not a problem.. in fact that is the objective.

Somebody who 'gets it!'

and Democrats are being defined as the elitists.

Hillary's legacy may be as the person who fatally poisoned FDR's party and lost a generation of populist progressive voters.

Destroyers of the Democratic Party.

I find that interesting.

1. It was closed based on party registration. Dems have a huge registration edge.
2. The Republican race is over, meaning there wasn't much interest in it.
3. 40% of Sanders voters said they wouldn't even vote for him over Trump.

yup in the same poll.
