I so earnestly want to understand how so many people can be so on board any one candidate (that isn't an elected official from the state). I ask because I want to dispel the bad notions that form in my brain whenever I think about the South. I seriously don't know anything about Southern Democrats and what's important to them. I truly want to believe that the reason they're voting for Hillary is not because Bill was "the cool black guy" and that they're only voting on nostalgia. I can understand her support because she's had a presence in the South for a long time, but those margins are too vast for me to think that that's the only reason. Dispel my monolithic notions please, oh someone from the South... The general impression I've gotten from talking to people I know down there is that Clinton is basically political royalty down there, they had nearly every black elected official in their pocket from the network they've long established across the south and most black elected officials got there because they had the support of the establishment (now fully under Hillary's control). So it's loyalty #1 (voters loyal to their particular black official) but there's a lot of factors and Bernie pretty much gave up on it when he realized how impossible it was to reach folks (logistically). He needed to be there when he was doing his big rallies across the country but there was no internet base there and when he went, the small crowds did more damage elsewhere than he was gaining locally. Like I mentioned earlier upwards of 20% of the calls made went to people who didn't even know the name Bernie Sanders. that was THIS WEEK. so there's that. I can't explain that without sounding rude. | ||

Like was said about the more liberal states Cruz is toast they would need Kasich to be the guy and have Ted somehow lock down every delegate he's won and MAKE them support Kasich at a brokered convention, then throw Cruz on as VP (yeah that's as impossible as it sounds). | ||

EDIT: Looks like Clinton camp read the tea leaves and is switching to a more populist argument on free trade. | ||

They are both anti NAFTA/Free trade. EDIT: Looks like Clinton camp read the tea leaves and is switching to a more populist argument on free trade. Wasnt Trump just talking about how much he loved Free Trade in his ramblings... | ||
