That you're voting in someone who is going to get nothing done?

To some people, no.
To smart people, yes.

Nothing changing > Changing for the worse.

If a system is terribly broken, I'll take my chance with the person who may actually get shit done.

Daily reminder that the policies Sanders wants would never get passed by a GOP House, which they will have through at least 2018.

In case people think that he actually will be able to get his policies through.
Do you really think this is a good enough reason not to vote for him?

Well duh, no one needs reminding of that.

Actually, many people (especially in universities, from what I've gathered) seem to think that Sanders is going to storm into the White House, and within the first 100 days, we're going to start seeing change.

Yes, it's big dreams, and Sanders talks a big talk. But you are essentially electing a guy who is going to simply do that - talk. And if Sanders was the nominee versus someone like Rubio or Cruz, I would honestly consider voting for the other person.

I'm curious how much of that has come from idiot high schoolers and college students who know next to nothing about political policy and simply throw money at Sanders because everyone else is.

In a general election? No.
The same can be said about Cruz and Trump.

Not against Bernie. Bernie gets swept by any Republican.

How do you reason?

Donald Trump...is vastly supported by a dying white-supremacy groups

It's pretty disingenuous to say that the "white-supremacy" demographic is politically significant, let alone that a vast portion of his supporters are part of it.

No, but the simple fact is very easy for media organization, and Democratic groups, to manipulate to their advantage.

"Excuse me sir, did you know Donald Trump is the top polling GOP candidate? Did you know that his campaign is supported by white supremacy groups? Make sure you vote Democratic to keep white supremacy out of the White House"

Probably because blacks are generally lower-class citizens in this country and the GOP doesn't give a shit about poor people.

But the Democrats do care about the poor?

You look at Ted Cruz, you look at Marco Rubio, you look at Dr. Ben Carson. You have two Hispanics and an African-American getting 60% of the caucus votes. Over on the Democrat side, two bedraggled, worn out old white people were the choice.

I mean, if we're going to start cherrypicking statistics and facts to prove our case...

In the current 113th Congress, there are 43 members who are identified as African-Americans. 42 of those are Democrats, and only one (Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina) is a Republican.

Donald Trump, who still leads national polls and still pulled a respectable second place in Iowa, is vastly supported by a dying white-supremacy groups, not to mention the facts that many African Americans simply do not believe that the economic policies that the GOP pushes will systematically hurt black communities more than help.

Not to mention the fact that there are far more socials at play than just "Gay marriage!"

This places both Clinton and Sanders on an even level of viability. As s Sanders fan, this is almost exactly what I wanted.

Yes and no.

But mostly yes.

Not really

We'll see.

I'll go into more detail after my class, but short summary: Sanders is relying on a historically unreliable voting group and has yet to make strides in Clinton's key base - on the flip side, Clinton has a solid chunk of support, but she cannot crack into what have Obama his advantage.

So I'm not very informed on the matter but what happens if somebody wins a single caucus?

What do you mean?
Like on CNN's graphic it says they need "X" amount of delegates to win.

Link?
Oh wait nvm, that's OVERALL delegates.

Way to go.

so much for any of those bastards people were getting so hype for

john kasich? chris christie?

who would've thought cruz would last, let alone take iowa

No one expected Kasich or Christie to take Iowa.

The Republican voters of Iowa are an extremely fickle social-conservative group, with large ties to the religious right in Evangelical voters. It's what propelled Huckabee in 08 and Santorum in 12.
