POTUS Election thread

[Sarmatian]

I expect the percentage of people who will feel bad for her should this scenario happen will align exactly with the percentage of people who voted for her.

That's true, but I thought personally of people who weren't invested, maybe not even Americans. As someone who looks at it from the distance.

And she's gonna lose.

I think she's still got the inside track, she's still up in Nevada right now and South Carolina looks to be solidly in her pocket as well. Too much infrastructure, too much familiarity with voters outside of Sanders's base, and I strongly believe the GOP is going to be too weakened from their clown car of a nomination process to mount a serious challenge unless they get their act together essentially right now.

I know. She's in a better position. On the other hand, just a few weeks ago, everyone predicted a landslide win for her in Nevada and it looks like it's gonna be a few points.

She lacks a message, something that people can get behind. She presented herself as a safe choice, like she didn't realize that we'll be understood as more of the same. Can be argued that it really means more of the same.

I don't think she's gonna lose, looks like she won Nevada, and not even very close. As of now this shows 18 to 14 for Clinton:

Also note she got 449 superdelegates and Sanders got 19....

It's close enough.

And from what I understood about superdelegates, they can change their mind at any time, unlike regular delegates.

And they wouldn't go against the wish of the voters anyway. They all pledged themselves to her in 2008 and switched to Obama later.

You know i take some solace that no matter who wins the final weeks of election will be amazing to watch.
