Trump is why turnouts were as high as they were. People have been anticipating this primary for years. I'm disappointed that it wasn't better.

25% of the Democratic vote for Sanders -- 75,000 in all is laughably low considering the weight Pad puts on this primary. More Sanders voters from 2016 switched their vote from Bernie to somebody else than voted for him in 2020.

2% of delegates have been allocated and Bernie has less than half of those. Bernie's supporters were every bit as confident four years ago when Clinton mopped the floor with him in many of the following primaries.

This thing is hardly over. Probably is for Warren. I'm curious what she decides to do. My hope is she pulls back on spending so that she can stick around and can pull votes away from Sanders throughout the primary. We need a Democrat who works well with others in the WH. Not another useless do-nothing divisive president. Even if he's better than Trump.
Not to mention how many were really Trump supporters doing his bidding of messing with the elections.

There has to be a better clip of this eventually, I think this was actually edited by a Trump supporter.

Those are numbers for the Democratic primary. Trump had nothing to do with it
Counted in terms of proportion of the electorate, turnout in 2018 was 87% of registered voters, the highest seen in more than a hundred years. The 2020 election cycle is expected to be even higher. It takes convoluted logic to claim Sanders is why there is a higher turnout but I would not put it past you. Trump and his fascist GOP have absolutely electrified these elections and is why there was a higher turnout on both sides.

LOL at the idea that Sanders is why 2018 had such a high turnout. Double LOL that Trump plays no role in energizing Democrats to get out and vote. Triple LOL the idea that Sanders had such an effect when he could only manage 25% of the vote. Such grandiosity.

The Sanders campaign has fully become everything I hate: grasping at straws, trolling other candidates, crying "Rigged!!!" whenever they lose, claiming "fake news" at everything they don't like, attacking everyone who doesn't support them 100%. They have become the Trumpists of the left.

i have been saying for a long time that they are no asset to any side they are on. Now they have proven me right.

They are an asset to Bernie. Not to Democrats. I don't see any benefit to Democrats if Bernie wins either the nomination or the WH. Except Bernie is better than Trump. That would make the ledger more on the positive side.

But, yeah, Schystickkbater's dishonesty disgusts me.

Bernie will most likely be the nominee, I’m guessing with a strong plurality but not a majority

Still how awesome would it be if his arch nemesis (a billionaire like Bloomberg, not trump) bested him?

Apparently my mom is voting Bloomberg too. Surprised me to no end. I told my wife my mom was a warren backer

Wife is undecided between warren and Bloomberg. She’ll hesitantly vote Bernie in the general if that is what she must do

laughing back.

Sanders is why Obama had higher turnout?

WTF?
The Democratic establishment and candidates like Hillary Clinton are why there were 6K fewer registered Democrats in NH in 2020 than in 2008. Sanders is why there are 20K more registered Independents/undeclared in NH in 2020, exactly as his campaign's political strategy has been promoting all along
