(34,115 posts)Momentum is good, trends are where we want them to be for the most part. Today was not terrible. We got some good info from this caucus.
Heads up, we have a terrific candidate.

(14,733 posts)4% loss in a 'firewall' state is nothing. Especially if he actually is already beating her with Hispanics, as entrance polling suggests.
Still sucking with black people, with entrance polls going 76/22 Clinton, and I would suggest part of that is the lack of campaign presence on social media. Claims are made of Bernie people doing 'X', the tweets go around to thousands upon thousands, and NOBODY from the campaign comes on to say 'no, that didn't happen', or 'what actually happened was Y, which is a lot more nuanced than X'.
People on Twitter are painting Sanders and followers as hardcore racists, and the campaign isn't saying SQUAT to counter any of it. Hell, there was a whole series of posts earlier today proclaiming that Sanders would shut down every Historic Black College if elected. No explanation, just post after post of 'He's going to shut down X', 'He's going to shut down Y', etc, getting tweeted and retweeted, and nobody coming in from the campaign to say, 'No, that's completely false'.

(20,234 posts)So where are we at compared to a month ago, with polls vs actual results and trends?
And ... what's the total vote tally - not delegates, I'm curious if we're in the ballpark with actual votes?
Also - what's next, caucus states, or states where everyone's able to vote?
