They can't electronically count votes at the caucus because there's technically no "cast" votes.I'm honestly surprised votes aren't electronically counted in one of the most anticipated elections in the world.
I guess you could call me a "Rubio fan", but that is really only because the competition is such trash, I mean if I thought he could win I would put my support behind Kasich or Bush but seeing that Rubio seems to be doing the best job, and the four other candidates, Cruise, Trump, Hillary, and Sanders are on my really don't want as my next president list Rubio ends up being the one I am throwing my support to as much as I think he is fairly mediocre. So yes but no.Are there any open Rubio fans here on Smogon? I'm genuinely curious and would like to know why you support him if you're comfortable sharing.

As someone who lives in New Hampshire it's basically all white with a few black people in ManchesterEveryone on the news is talking up Bernie's weakness with minorities-- do we have racial demographic breakdown data from the New Hampshire? Then again, if everyone is using Iowa's popcorn bin counting method, the chances are high that answer is 'no.'
That's not really the point... Unless by few you literally mean a few. Even if you had only 500 "data points" (people) that would be a fairly robust sample you could do stats with. I assume there are well more than 500 blacks in the entire state.As someone who lives in New Hampshire it's basically all white with a few black people in Manchester
New Hampshire is about 1 million people and about 1% Black. That gives 10k Black New Hampshirites.That's not really the point... Unless by few you literally mean a few.

Not knowing much about caucus logistics though, I guess it wouldn't surprise me if a good deal less than 500 blacks showed up to vote.
Sucks :/New Hampshire is about 1 million people and about 1% Black. That gives 10k Black New Hampshirites.
About 500k people voted in the primaries overall, so let's assume about half of the people of all demographics, such as Black people, turned out to vote. Most of the Black New Hampshirites presumably voted in the Democratic primary, so I'd be willing to say there's about 4,000 potential data points... but you don't get breakdown from the vote itself, only from exit polls. And far from everyone is exit polled.
About 2k of the about 250k people who voted in the Democratic primary were exit polled, or less than 1%. ...which would mean exit polls, if they even asked about race in New Hampshire (which they don't), would only capture the opinions of about 40 Black people.
Yeah. There's just no data.
Deck Knight^^^any legit ted cruz dudes here? curious (im not btw but i wont judge u)
Well, I agree with your opinion.The obvious question to ask at this point is whether Bernie Sanders would win against Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee so it is either that Sanders wins against Clinton to win against Trump in the general election or Clinton wins against Sanders to lose against Trump.
Nowadays I am confused about how, while the widespread hatred against Trump feels genuine to me, people fail to alternatively support Sanders, the one and only candidate who would, without doubt, prevent Trump from reaching the presidency.
Either way, though, it would be a win-win for the country because it is either that Sanders or Trump gets elected, the only two candidates this election cycle with any qualifications as presidential material.
Sanders supporters need to hope for a win against Clinton in the primaries as he would easily win against Trump in a general election, while Trump supporters need to hope for Clinton's nomination as the democratic candidate as he would easily win against Clinton.
I am not sure if sunny004 was being sarcastic as well, but yeah, Cruz has zero chance of winning, alike Clinton.
In my opinion.
Trump is against outsourced labour, the TPP and globalist policies in general. They're extremely damaging positions for the corporate elite. And he repeatedly called out big donors, I don't know what you're talking about.Well, I agree with your opinion.
I think that voters have underestimated how much trouble that Clinton's troubles will cause for her in the general election. Maybe Sander's winning streak is an indication that people realize that not only does he represent the middle class's best hope, but that he is the best chance of keeping the White House Democratically controlled. I don't think it's be good for the country if the Republicans ran the White House and the Senate! And this election is extremely important, because that accursed Citizen's United ruling needs to be overturned. If a conservative judge is appointed, it will set back politics for so many decades, and the country will continue to be run by corporations and billionaires from the shadows, and Trump hasn't said anything about outlawing that.
I know you're not a Trump supporter, but I appreciate the questions. I really don't see the problem and honestly people who don't know why Trump gets support (it's not because we're racist or naive, though I'm not accusing JES of this) hasn't been around Trump supporters. I've looked into Bernie, and I like Trump far more out of the candidates remaining.Trump is against outsourced labour, the TPP and globalist policies in general. They're extremely damaging positions for the corporate elite. And he repeatedly called out big donors, I don't know what you're talking about.
Could you explain why a conservative Supreme Court would be bad? Because they wouldn't encourage a gun grabbing frenzy?
No, because there are probably people are lining up to challenge Citizen's United. Citizen's United is what allows billionaires to contribute as much as they want to campaign contributions, and who does this doesn't even have to be transparent. These are the people who are cowardly controlling the country from the shadows, and are a huge part of the reason our country is in the terrible shape it is in. In return for these campaign contributions, recipients and power don't just do innocent things like come to a donor's wedding, as Trump had Hillary do. Oh no, they've pushed through policies that benefit the few at the cost of the many, from the Republican's party-wide refusal to even admit climate change is a real threat (and when they do, such as Marco Rubio, they claim that it would be unfeasible to address), to making it illegal to film in factory farms, for one example.Trump is against outsourced labour, the TPP and globalist policies in general.
