Hard to tell how much Clinton is leading by in Nevada at the point. We'll have to wait on that one. Also. Noted ![]() | ||

I'm going to hold you to that. Ninja'd x ∞ Already seeing resentment on BlackTwitter about how black people will save her and it's already been floating in Hillary circles that her Hispanic support isn't as strong as her circle jerk has suggested. Bernie might not win both but the margin will be a fraction of what it has been. | ||

Bill is totally clueless. Takes offense that Bernie thinks the Clintons are part of the 'establishment.' | ||

It was evident already in the Beyonce threads/tweets/posts. If Bernie actually does well in SC, I'll go full bern too. We'll see though. btw, we really need an american flag emoji here | ||

You can project your own views on it. So two people that disagree can both agree with Trump on the same subject. Trump is beating politicians at their own game. I hope Trump wins. Clinton vs Bush would be great too. | ||

Bernie needs to show that he can win some other states before I'd put money on him winning the nomination. And he is hilariously unelectable at a national level. | ||

Hillary was looking to tie on delegates by getting at least 43% (for the talking point), now that she's down to 38% (lower than polls suggested) she flat out loses the delegate take (5-3) from NH too.

Then we can go back to half-jokingly hostile. To everyone else: So how about a banbet? 1 month NV + SC if Hillary/Sanders win both (you know what I mean), if there's a split we'll sigbet-- I tell you something to add to yours, you add to mine for a month. | ||
