It’s her home state.
Agree. I think over 45% of delegates would be pretty scandalous if he didn't get the nomination, over 40% also a pretty bad look, and then down until 30% a kind of bad look. Lower than 30% I think is sort of anything goes.
I know, it's why I am shocked that Bernie is that close to her (thought she would get a much higher % of the votes).
Sanders leading in Maryland this time round.

Amy Klobuchar Has Been Weirdly Quiet About A Massive Mining Controversy In Her Home State
The Chilean firm looking to build a copper-nickel mine near a Minnesota wilderness area has a connection to the Trump family and a record of pollution overseas.
Yikes, I had not heard about that.
Yes he is because more Trump means more disenfranchisement of their voters and years in the wilderness.
Bernie means Socialism, the greatest enemy of these United States.
I don't think he's wrong. The divide here is massive and hard to overcome. It's hyper-partizan to the point of violence.
Can’t see this happening. If he’s close there will be enormous pressure to give it to him.
Two years of Steyer calling for impeachment finally sets Drumpf over the edge.

I can only assume he wants him to do well there.
Nineteen ninety muthafecking one
NWA back in this muthafecka...
I would literally kiss his feet
I'd pay good money to see Bernie walk out to the opening riff of this
Fox said:
think you are on to something.
Went to lunch with a group of Columbian, cuban and US floridians and they are dead set against Bernie 
Age, Remarks supporting Castro and I kid you not, 'angry man' were the reasons quoted consistently by the 50 strong group. Was told by one of the lunch organizers that the group is representative of Florida electorate, which I will take it with a pinch of salt, but I think FL is a no go for Bernie unfortunately. Not sure if he can come out strongly against Castro to bring these South American voting bloc back to him.

ya florida is out. if bernie is running it's the midwest at the expense of the south.
unfortunately the video has been scrubbed from the internet, but there's this nice clip of a very drunk guy watching the democrats lose both races in florida in 2018 and he goes on a rant starting with "what did you expect, it's fecking florida".
South Florida Cubans don’t represent all of Florida. Can’t speak on all Colombians but the few I knew were super religious and evangelized.Went to lunch with a group of Columbian, cuban and US floridians and they are dead set against Bernie

Replace Fox with MSNBC and you’re spot on.
feck Florida.
Midwest is a nicer place to live.

fox wouldn't want to boost bernie among their viewership
Reminds me of that clip of the two Fox News presenters talking about socialism.
Paraphrasing:
“Socialism just gives people free healthcare, great wages, free education and improved public infrastructure, who’s going to sign up for that? I just don’t get it”
“Err... I think that probably sounds quite attractive when you put it like that to our viewers”
You don’t feck off 29 Electoral Votes if you want to win.
Even if it’s futile, he must compete there regardless, Florida is tough but it’s inelastic, Dems will turn out for Dems and GOP will turn out for GOP, and margin will always be close.
scarce resources, better spent in nc, arizona, ohio, iowa.
OH was like -12, FL is -1.2% last time around and the 2018 Senate race went to recount. I think there’s still an outside chance.
agree.
Sanders can afford to ditch FL since he will almost certainly get a massive windfall of delegates by crushing it in CA and also a good number from TX and NY.
True. But I think posters here are talking from the pov of the general election.
He would almost certainly lose FL in the Gen. Not a big deal since he would make up for it in the rust belt (minus perhaps WI).
hmm, polling contradicts my gut sense here. (RCP averages)
NC average is +1 (5 polls, 4 wins). definitely deserves resources.
AZ -5 (all trump). close to a write-off.
Ohio 2 polls from last sept/oct, +6 and -1. needs more recent data, but interesting.
Iowa -6 (all trump). write off, especially in conjunction with low dem turnout.
Florida +0.3 (3 polls - tie, +6, -5 - a real range!).
I just can't imagine Bernie winning Florida, even in 2016.
what a shitty system the electoral college s
They will. Just like they did with Obama
