Now that Bloomberg is done (Elizabeth Warren DESTROYED him last night), who will win Dem primary?

Seems some Lone Star GOP politicians are concerned.

Even HRC, who was about as moderate and hawkish as you can get on a Dem ticket and who got to run against probably the 2nd worst candidate in the last century, couldn't make a dent there.

She got 43% of the vote in Texas. I consider that "a dent". Ted Cruz barely won his Senate reelection. Texas is very quickly turning blue. Faster than you realize. Maybe not this year, but it will be close.

That's why she lost.

Most working class people don't want another billionaire funded moderate who spends all their money making war on other countries, and pocketing the profits from their war machines.

That's true. Most working class people want a right-wing extremist and are happy with the one in the White House.

There was no good choice in 2016. Both of the candidates were corrupt and many people didn't vote. Hillary was crooked, corrupt, and cheated her way to the nomination over Sanders, which was totally not acceptable.

If the DNC does the same thing again, then the result will again be the same that it was in 2016. not because people like Trump, but because we want our votes to count, and we don't want our votes to be trashed by super delegates and party insiders in back room deals.

I don't like Trump, but I'm very glad that Hillary didn't win the election in 2016.

If its a meme it must be true!!

How is it a meme believing that the person with the most votes should be the winner? I thought we live in America, a bastion of democracy.

If that’s how it worked HRC would be President.

By losing the nomination?

We're talking about the nomination here, not the Presidential election yet.

By the way, the results look great so far from Nevada for Senator Sanders! Better days are ahead, America!

Sanders is a fraud. NRA donations made his political career. He hasn't done sh*t in the Senate in decades. He has no reasonable plan to pay for his campaign promises. He only acknowledges the Russians are helping his campaign once it hits the news cycle. And why does Russia prefer Bernie?! Why won't he release his medical records?

Bernie all but guarantees 4 more years of Trump. And chances of turning the Senate go way down. And Dems could very easily lose the House if Bernie is the candidate.

I'm liberal, but he's a fu*cking horrible candidate.

The fact a not so small percentage of Bernie supporters voted for Trump tells you all you need to know about Bernie and his cult. Hell, 30+% of his current cult are uncertain if they'll vote for another Dem if he's not the candidate. That number is single digits for all of the other Dem candidates.

Your words: “the person with the most votes should be the winner”

It could and arguably should be the criteria for both the nomination and presidential election. You seem to only want it when it suits your argument.

I've never expressed an opinion here on a national popular vote for president, so I'm not sure how you're inferring that. I was only referring to the nomination battle at this point.

Dirty Harry doesn't think Bloomberg is finished. He just went ahead and made his day by switching from Trump to Bloomberg.

Because the "most votes" will not be a majority. The DNC could have created rules that said most votes wins but it didn't. When you have such a fractured field, it's hard to argue that someone with 30% of the votes should get the nomination. I don't know what the fairest way to deal with a 30% most votes situation but you can be sure that the way the DNC is planning on dealing with it is not fair.

Often in democratic elections, if someone doesn't get the majority of the votes, there is a runoff or subsequent election. So, that's why the meme is stupid.

We get it you change your own “the person with the most votes should win” rule when it doesn’t suit you.

We understand that you don’t want apply it consistently.
