North Carolina and Ohio close their primaries at 7:30 PM EST. Not sure about the others.

Edited for accuracy, thanks doc

Per 538:
At 7:30 p.m. EDT, polls close in Ohio and North Carolina, followed by Florida, Illinois and Missouri 30 minutes later (some polls in Florida close at 7 p.m., but 8 p.m. is the earliest networks will call the state).


They might be off though. My polling place in NC definitely said 7:30.

I would also advise extreme caution in interpreting early NC vote totals. Depending on if they count absentee/early ballots last (or first), it will probably have a large effect on vote totals-I think both Duke and UNC are currently on spring break. I believe that might be the case in Ohio and Missouri as well, not sure.

You don't need quality control.

You need democracy instead of a media shitshow that lasts for an eternity.

Interesting to see Clinton winning OH. I expect she'll end up barely losing OH and IL but bodyslamming Florida.

Rubio isn't running for Senate this year. He is actually out of politics now. I guess I should thank him for handing a seat to the Democrats.

Ok, I'll try something stupid. Let's see how exit polls (inaccurate) line up to 538 delegate targets (that are no longer up to date) assuming proportional delegate allocation where applicable (false assumption):

Florida:

Exit Poll 63% Clinton 37% Sanders
Target: 54% Clinton 46% Sanders
Delegates targets 116 Clinton 98 Sanders (214)
Delegate estimate 135 Clinton 79 Sanders
Delegate gains/losses +19 Clinton -19 Sanders

Ohio

Exit Poll 53% Clinton 47% Sanders
Target: 49.6% Clinton 50.4% Sanders
Delegates targets 71 Clinton 72 Sanders (143)
Delegates estimate 76 Clinton 67 Sanders
Delegate gains/losses +5 Clinton -5 Sanders

Illinois

Exit Poll 50% Clinton 50% Sanders
Target: 54% Clinton 46% Sanders
Delegates targets 85 Clinton 71 Sanders (156)
Delegates estimate 78 Clinton 78 Sanders
Delegate gains/losses -7 Clinton +7 Sanders

North Carolina (data from 538)

Exit Poll 54% Clinton 42% Sanders
Target: 53% Clinton 47% Sanders
Delegates targets 57 Clinton 50 Sanders (107)
Delegates estimate 58 Clinton 45 Sanders
Delegate gains/losses +1 Clinton -5 Sanders (wut)

Assume missing 4% split evenly:
Delegates estimate 60 Clinton 47 Sanders
Delegate gains/losses +3 Clinton -3 Sanders

Summary (without NC/MO): +20 Clinton

I'll admit my poll skepticism is pretty high, but as a Hillary supporter i am cautiously optimistic.

It seems your argument has a tendency to change in response to the counter points from others. Before you said the others were decidedly sleazier than Trump. It appears to me you have such a preconceived opinion against the establishment and media that Trump is an outlet for people like you to just be defiant. In the process, as an informed political activist you make incredible sacrifices in the quality of your candidate (assuming you support Trump) in order to fight against the establishment and media.


It's not preconceived. It's from just living life listening to them for the last 15 years. You can literally tell when they go on the news and when they are openly lying. There's a long list of lies in the attacks on Trump and the really genuine set-up to paint him as something he's not very often. The people voting for him are the ones seeing through that.

Testie, I've never said that Trump is stupid. I say he is a liar. You said he was telling the truth, I say he makes up stuff. He inflates every number that makes himself or his message seem positive and deflates every number that makes someone else look positive or himself or his policies look negative. And they don't all do this. Yes Ted Cruz, and okay, if your argument is that 'Trump is better than Cruz' then fuck it, I'm not gonna bother arguing.

Just look at this
http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/03/trump-fact-check-errors-exaggerations-falsehoods-213730#_ga=1.9616181.163558985.1391020600

Guy is incapable of speaking for 5 minutes without making something up. I'm not attacking his competence, I'm not even attacking his policies (but I really disagree with him on nearly everything). I'm attacking, vehemently so, the notion that he is honest and trustworthy. It's a lie that he has said so many times that people have started believing it, and it's terrifying to me.


The honesty angle comes from his base. Which are hyper informed reactionaries that believe capitalism isn't perfect but it's the best we've got so far. He speaks his mind, he doesn't talk like other politicians, he's talked about issues they are simply too afraid to even admit, let alone tackle.

Where does the honesty angle comes from? Because they see him as speaking a lot of truth and then they see that truth misrepresented and distorted by the media. So they rally even closer to him. There's some really choice examples that are really great for this.

As soon as way too many people compared him to Hitler, those people lost the publics trust and that trust was thrown more into Trump.

What is the long list of lies the media is telling about Trump? Most of what I have seen are direct quotes or clips from his rallies, where you can see he is an agitator who can barely string a sentence together. Plenty of people see him speaking the truth but the problem is they are seeing it wrong. The man is a liar. It has been proven over and over again.

Or just appalling policies that he reveals (the few that he does). Fox and Friends Dec, 2015 "The other thing with the terrorists is you have to take out their families, when you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families." Rand Paul correctly called him out in their debate that this would be going against the Geneva convention, but none of that seems to matter to his base. Trump really seems to be an ends justify the means sort of guy and found a lot of people that agree.

are the delegates distributed by winner takes it all or do the candidates get the delegates proportionately?
