Buford2k11 March 1st, 2016 at 18:54
watching is boring…so I am participating…my first time…I hope they are gentile…
Gina Bousquet March 1st, 2016 at 19:15
Congratulations!! :)
dave-dr-gonzo March 1st, 2016 at 19:17
It’s just like Super Sunday, without concussions but with repecussions.
Gina Bousquet March 1st, 2016 at 19:18
Lovely definition! :)
Buford2k11 March 1st, 2016 at 18:52
hey folks…see that square blue state in the middle there? I am waving at you while driving to the caucus…
dave-dr-gonzo March 1st, 2016 at 19:16
Taking the Hil or feeling the Bern?
Buford2k11 March 1st, 2016 at 19:19
I was thinking the Bern…but I like/want both of them…I will listen intently, and try not to cry…just kidding…I am going to photograph my experience…see what happens…
Suzanne McFly March 1st, 2016 at 20:21
You can’t go wrong with either candidate.
Larry Schmitt March 1st, 2016 at 19:10
Clinton is already projected to win Virginia and Georgia, Bernie for Vermont.
Mensa Member March 1st, 2016 at 22:28
Bernie also got Oklahoma. That makes it a little less embarrassing.
Tim Coolio March 1st, 2016 at 19:24
Trump = an extremely hard right, religiously fundamental
America with an economic system of totally unregulated
capitalism where the wealth and power has been
concentrated to the top 1%, and when he says he could
murder someone on Park Avenue, and his followers
would still follow him? those are the people his buddy
Limbaugh has molded for him, Rush and his radio
program have become the heart and soul of the GOP party,
the two themes that Rush projects are fear and hate, the
supporters of Trump have absorbed those themes and
see Trump as the way to act on those ideas.
dave-dr-gonzo March 1st, 2016 at 19:41
I am waiting for one of the usual hard-right trolls to show up and reply, “You say that as if it’s a bad thing.”
Watching Bernie’s victory speech in Vermont. He’s giving it to Der Drumpf as I type.
StoneyCurtisll March 1st, 2016 at 20:30
Watch what you wish for….:)

lmao… PERFECT

When I see Christie standing behind Trump at his Victory ‘press conference’, I think of the nursery rhyme ‘little pig little pig let me in…
Mensa Member March 1st, 2016 at 22:27
Christie seemed deflated –as hard as that is to picture.
whatthe46 March 1st, 2016 at 22:57
HA! i just choked. thanks for that.
jybarz March 2nd, 2016 at 05:43
Piggy Christie is an a$$ kisser and a suck up obviously..
I think he sees money for doing it.
Gina Bousquet March 1st, 2016 at 23:08
WAPO headline: Again Republican turnout surges across the board, Democratic turnout drops.
That’s scary!
Kick Frenzy March 1st, 2016 at 23:26
Link?
tracey marie March 2nd, 2016 at 00:18
dems versus repub turnouts are basically even, some states just have more registered repubs
Gina Bousquet March 2nd, 2016 at 11:48
Went there again but the article was gone, searched archives but could not download, just the headline. MSNBC has the same article today. Sorry.http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/super-tuesday-turnouts-similar-08-parties-reversed
Kick Frenzy March 3rd, 2016 at 00:02
Thanks and no worries.
I saw some similar numbers today.
The first thing I wondered was… are the newly implemented obstructive laws having an effect on these numbers as well?
Maybe it’s because of the millions of jobs people have back that they don’t time to go this time around?
Whatever the case, I wish it would get better.
Not just for Bernie, but in general… I wish being involved in politics, at least enough to get out and vote (or caucus or whatever), was a more popular thing to do and better supported as well.
Gina Bousquet March 3rd, 2016 at 13:46
Good points! I so wish the fear of seeing Trump on the WH sends Democratic voters in droves to the ballots.
Kick Frenzy March 1st, 2016 at 23:47
I can’t wait to see how the rest of the country shakes out for Bernie and Hillary.
So far, Hillary has done well in very conservative states… and Massachusetts (where her husband repeatedly broke the law when showing up at polling places).
Basically, the way I see it, if Hillary wins… we’re not as liberal/progressive/courageous as we need to be yet.
(I don’t say that to be mean, just matter of fact with what I think is best for the country.)
tracey marie March 2nd, 2016 at 00:17
Anyone may show up at precincts behind the 100 foot line, it is not illegal.
Kick Frenzy March 2nd, 2016 at 00:35
150 feet.. and from what I understand, they were not that far away.
Not to mention all the people that weren’t able to vote because of him being there and it being locked down because of it.
tracey marie March 2nd, 2016 at 00:42
It was never closed or lockeddown. per the precinct and the electoral office. There was a traffic jam outside on the rad and I repeat….no one was stopped from entering the precinct, per the electoral judges, dem and repub.
Kick Frenzy March 2nd, 2016 at 00:46
Per the people that were there waiting, there were 2 hours when nobody was able to get in.
But I’m done… I’m too worked up.
I need to go cool off.
oldfart March 2nd, 2016 at 11:05
Hope you had a good nights sleep. So far, out in media land, barely a peep about this stunt however as expected, the RWNJ’s are going ballistic. I found a small article appearing Tuesday in the Boston Herald concerning a warning to the Clintons about campaigning at polling places. Overall, It appears that only the spirit of the law was broken.
Thus only harmlessly adding to the doubts the voters will have concerning honesty and trustworthiness… No biggie… :{
Kick Frenzy March 2nd, 2016 at 23:48
Thanks, I did. :)
I played some Minecraft first, which always helps me relax.
(It also helps that, at 99% reporting, Mass is at a difference of 1.4%.)
I just hope he doesn’t pull anything like this again.
Regardless of legality, it’s a sh*ty thing to do.
And like you said, hurts her campaign in the long run.
Kick Frenzy March 2nd, 2016 at 00:12
Mother f*ker, I am PISSED.
Bill Clinton and the mayor of Mass, both violated polling laws of the state.
I can’t believe this… it’s so beyond the pale…
I am f*king infuriated!
Look at this disappointing betrayal of law and decency!
Read it and watch the video.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/03/02/1494189/-Hillary-what-do-you-have-to-say-about-BILL-BLOCKING-VOTERS
I don’t care if it effected the final vote or not.
That is some serious bullshit.
We should be able to have more pride in our Democratic representatives than criminal, cheating behavior.
oldfart March 2nd, 2016 at 00:20
Pissed and disappointed as well, he wasn’t only disturbing democratic voters either…
can only imagine what the RWNJ will have to say.
tracey marie March 2nd, 2016 at 00:25
One problem here, they were 0ver 100 ft from the precinct which is legal.
whatthe46 March 2nd, 2016 at 00:31
i get that tracey, but that doesn’t matter in the long run. the fk’n fox lies will spin this badly. Hillary should be kickin’ that ass right about now. WTF was he thinking?
tracey marie March 2nd, 2016 at 00:38
I went to the local news and the precinct said he was outside the 150′ and he never campaigned inside the precinct.
Kick Frenzy March 2nd, 2016 at 00:39
He went to several, not just one.
tracey marie March 2nd, 2016 at 00:39
He broke no laws…
Kick Frenzy March 2nd, 2016 at 00:44
That’s debatable… I’ve seen nothing conclusive.
Sure, the state may have said it was fine… but really, when the mayor is out there campaigning for Hillary among poll goers, how much do you expect them to damn him?
Kick Frenzy March 2nd, 2016 at 00:37
As I just replied… it’s 150 feet.
And when he’s walking into a polling station, that sure as hell ain’t 150 feet away… it’s zero.
And when his presence locks up voting so that hundreds of people can’t vote, it doesn’t really matter where he is… it’s grossly interfering with the democratic process.
tracey marie March 2nd, 2016 at 00:39
He never asked for voters to choose Hillary while inside, poer the precinct judges, both Republican and Democratic. He did not break the law and the precinct said no one was stopped from voting or had to wait 2 hours.
Kick Frenzy March 2nd, 2016 at 00:40
Well, I read that he was told multiple times that he was in violation of the law and exactly how, but he did it again after that.
And while the precinct may say he didn’t stop anyone from voting, how about all the people who were in line tweeting how they couldn’t get in to vote because he was there?
tracey marie March 2nd, 2016 at 00:43
You read? That never happened. The time lines show that it did not.

He stopped no one, period.

Gawker has an article on it too. Hard to believe anyone as politically sophisticated as Bill wasn’t fully aware of what that was doing,……………..Mass was close.
Kick Frenzy March 2nd, 2016 at 23:42
Yeah, that’s a big part of it.
If anyone seriously suggests he doesn’t know what he was doing or what the effect was, then they would have to admit he was just a dumbass.
Obewon March 2nd, 2016 at 01:12
Both party leaders have nearly a 2:1 delegate advantage over their second place candidate. No matter which way the repubs go, it’s a disaster for their GOP.
(AP) delegate count: HRC 1,001 Delegates. Sanders 371.
Trump 274, Cruz 149 , Rubio 82, Kasich 25, Ben Carson 8!

Sarah Palin backs another loser in Alaska….(Trump)
What even more shocking is that Ted Cruz takes the state…
Maybe being Canadian born makes him more appealing to Alaskans.
