What does that mean and why?  I thought if you win, you take all the delegates? Bernie won by a landslide.

Honestly if it comes down to Trump of Clinton, I'm going with Trump.  I just am completely over the typical establishment president, and though Donald isn't exactly what I wanted for the "non-establishment" prez, he's as close as we are gonna get besides Sanders.

just read this in an article
Quote:
In the overall race for delegates, Clinton has 394, thanks in large part to endorsements from superdelegates — party officials who can support the candidate of their choice.
Sanders has 42 delegates.

Feel the Bern indeed. kii

instead of responding to buzz words like "establishment" candidates maybe do your research before voting. Trump cares only about his popularity and poll numbers. He has absolutely no interest in what is better for the American people. His race for president is purely based on his ego. poor republicans

I'm not really sure what has changed in terms of race relations, but black Dems are still more conservative than white Dems. Better believe that some black Dems are actually Republicans at heart, but still vote D because the GOP loves racist dog whistles.

Because most black voters in general are very uniformed and vote based on everything besides policies.

This just proves that you're not for Bernie's ideals, you're just here for Bernie the man
Trump goes against everything Sanders stands for. Don't punish the country cause you
feel like making a statement

 I love Bernie b/c he brings something to the table that no recent president (including Obama) has, AUTHENTICITY!!!! I love his policies even more, though I don't quite understand his foreign policies. Him and Trump may vary, obvi they are on opposite parties, but they both appeal to me in the sense that they are RELATABLE, something all the other candidates aren't. So yes, I will throw my vote in with Trump, simply based on the fact that I want anyone who the establishment is against.

LMAO, buzz words? Do my research? Henny, I know what his ideals are, as for his policies? I don't think he has any that are thoroughly planned out. I stand by my statement though. I feel like this is why his and Sanders' turn outs are so huge, they give off a much different energy compared to their contemporaries, and repubs and dems alike are very "over it", in regards to the current political climate. People want something fresh, and these are the only two who are bringing it.

what exactly do you mean by over it? the debate between bernie and hilary was very passionate on both sides. why are you speaking about new and fresh? who cares? get back to reality. i care about the food on my table the clothes on my back, my healthcare and future job prospects. i feel like Hillary is the person who will keep america stable while trump will send us into a world war 3 his first month in office. he has absolutely no idea what he is doing, he is obnoxious, ignorant of other cultures and frankly is an emberrassment to the entire American political process. Go ahead and waste your vote on him if you want but he is a joke to most people in america and around the world and he will not win the presidency. bookmark me. im done.

First and foremost, I believe almost everyone of the Republican nominees are willing to start a new war, and if you believe that Trump wouldn't have any political advisors who would advise him why going to war would not be favorable for the nation, than you are wrong. I believe that Trump is the most left leaning repub candidate besides Kasich, but he has a snowball's chance in hell in winning the primaries. I don't think Trump would ever consider going to war, unless pressured to by general consensus, and tbh, I don't see it for Hillary either. I honestly feel like this is her game to lose, but if you're done, so am I.

I need some Americans to help out a Canadian.
I know the primary voting is going on right now..
A) In the very end of the primary is it the top (one) person from each party that run for the final vote to become president?
B) each party that won in each state, what does that mean?

A) Yes, but they're separate races run by their respective parties. The Republican primary elections have nothing to do with the Democratic primary elections, though many of them will be on the same day. For instance, the Democrats and Republicans both held their primary elections in New Hampshire yesterday. Both parties will hold their national conventions at the end of July to name their respective nominees, though it's likely that presumptive nominees will emerge before then.
B) I'm not entirely sure what you mean here. When we refer to who "won" in a primary election right now, we're usually referring to the winner of the popular vote in a given state. The nominee of each party is actually determined by delegates (and "superdelegates" for the Democrats), but that's more complicated to explain.
Does that help at all?

Comments like these from members of the Bernie cult are exactly why black voters aren't here for him and why this race will come to a swift end on Super Tuesday (assuming you know what that is, I know a lot of Bernie cultists are new to elections).
