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. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||
