People are still in line in Arizona after midnight... Democrats need to unite around fixing this. We can NOT allow this to happen in NY and CA that would be a disaster at that scale. People have spent 5+ hours in line. Keep in mind you would legally get a lunch break if it was a job. EDIT: I'm just wondering if the Hillary supporters are ignoring it because they know it reflects poorly or if they are genuinely denying it's a problem? | ||

Bernie's campaign is dead insofar of getting the democratic nomination, insofar as spreading his message it most certainly is not. With a bit of luck this will influence people when Congress is up for rellection but I somehow doubt it. | ||

If people were being disenfranchised, I'd expect either candidate to stand up for the other.

Maybe Bernie if he gets more blow outs like he did tonight despite the problems across the contests. Are we still just chalking all these repeated problems up to coincidence incompetence and such? | ||

The higher turnout has esp been a problem among independents and Republicans from what I know, too many people want to vote but not enough stations etc are ready for it. Granted America has a much higher population and geographical divide then Europe but the "bastion" of democracy shouldn't have these problems to this degree, it makes you wonder how much influence it has. How many people you think saw a 4-5 hour line on their local news and thought to themselves "I should go wait in that!"? Especially after a long day at work...? Possibly an early day again tomorrow? I don't think I can take anyone seriously who suggests that doesn't have a significant impact. Yes it's happening on both sides and there's reasons for overlap but some significant differences as well. | ||

With a bit of luck this will influence people when Congress is up for rellection but I somehow doubt it. Exactly. The problem, though, is that even though it's Sanders who's been calling for a "political revolution", it's actually Clinton who's been doing the work of supporting Democrats down-ballot for November. She's raised more than 20,000,000$ so far (and given about 10 million already) to help local Democrats in their elections. Sanders has done none of that. That's why Hillary is really the better candidate to win big in November, so it's great that she's indeed going to be the nominee. And yeah, the long lines are ridiculous. Come general election, it's virtually always the Republicans who try to limit early voting days to make it harder for the Democrat electorate to go vote. In this case, in Arizona, it probably benefited Bernie considering I'm guessing young voters were more likely to stay in line than older voters, especially after Arizona was called for Hillary. | ||

What I mean is that yes it sucks yes its stupid but its not some conspiracy by Clinton, she too suffers from this, if not now then during the General/National. Also not sure what you mean by blow out, presumably that means a victory. Sanders has to win each state really hard to actually win, upholding the status quo in terms of number of delegates favours Clinton, esp given the amount of pledged superdelegates she has too. The end result of today is a marginal amount of more delegates for Bernie then Clinton, thats not nearly enough, thats a loss. | ||

Yeah this time it probably hurt her a bit, but there was still a huge early vote (indicated by the media misreporting results) that was unaffected. But beyond the basic voting problems there were and have been in several states many other issues that just keep getting blown off and at some point it just gets ridiculous. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In a surprise announcement, Jeb Bush will endorse Ted Cruz on Wednesday as an antidote to the “divisiveness and vulgarity” of Donald Trump, providing a badly needed boost to the Texas senator – but it’s one that comes dangerously late in a game that Trump is dominating. Cruz, in New York City on Wednesday, planned to celebrate with a victory lap of three network morning shows. The endorsement comes 32 days after a beaten Bush dropped out of the GOP presidential race, and eight days since Sen. Marco Rubio abandoned his own quest after being rebuffed by Bush, his fellow Floridian and one-time mentor. Bush says in a statement to be released by the Cruz campaign: “Ted is a consistent, principled conservative who has demonstrated the ability to appeal to voters and win primary contests.” “For the sake of our party and country, we must move to overcome the divisiveness and vulgarity Donald Trump has brought into the political arena, or we will certainly lose our chance to defeat the Democratic nominee and reverse President Obama’s failed policies,” the statement continues.
