    Have we discussed how Obama and the Clintons pushed trade deals that allow the tax evasions the Panama Papers are all about yet?

    Probably voting to stay, cause it's honestly the better option out of the two. If we did leave, we wouldn't know what we'd be getting ourselves into as we're not in the same sort of economic situations as the countries in the EEA (which is an option for the UK if we did leave).

    CNN exit poll predictions:

    Cruz: 47%
    Trump: 36%
    Kasich: 14%

    Sanders: 55%
    Clinton: 44%

    Sounds like pretty likely outcomes. Fox News already projects Bernie has won.

    I'll never understand how a rational person could look at and listen to Ted Cruz and John Kasich and think "hey, I think I'll vote for that Cruz guy."

    Also, Green Bay's district seems to have gone 58-42 to Sanders, proving once again why it's the best place on Earth.

    because Cruz was the one who was up. A vote for Cruz is also a vote to stop trump from getting enough delegate. Its less about preferring Cruz over Kasichand more about preferring Cruz over Trump

    sure, there is scarylarge group of people who legit like Cruz, but voting for him was the right move here for even Kasich himself

    Bernie and Cruz officially won Wisconsin. Bernie is losing Milwaukee County right now, but winning nearly every other county. As usual, he has trouble in the big city counties while thriving in more rural counties.
     
  10. Thank you Wisconsin

    Doesn't Sanders need to hit 57% to stay on track for actually catching up?

    If Bernie doesn't make it, I'll probably withhold my vote.

    Almost as many people voted for Trump in Brown County as did for Sanders: Wisconsin primary results: track the votes, county by county
     
  14. That's the goal but even 54-57% is strong and may prove to increase momentum moving forward

    But isn't Wisconsin one of his better demographics remaining? Its in-between Michigan and Minnesota where won. I feel like he probably needed to exceed 57% here because he won't pull those same numbers in the northeast states.

    538's path for Sanders to get a delegate majority It’s Really Hard To Get Bernie Sanders 988 More Delegates have him winning Wisconsin by 16. (so 58/42 which I guess means Wisconsin is right in the middle)

    Momentum will help, but it still looks like too little too late. I think he still needs Clinton to majorly stumble at this point.
     
  16. A major Clinton stumble certainly wouldn't hurt :)

    It's so painful thinking that it's a great probability that the intellectual shit hole that is the American deep South will be determining the nation's more-progressive presidential contender.

    Really had some hope when Alabama and co were threatening to secede a few years back.

    Why wasn't that email thing enough to get her indicted? Forgive and/or inform me if this is an ignorant question.

    Bernie's lead keeps expanding as more of the precincts are coming in.
