When to expect results... A Viewer's Guide - USA Today http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ime-is-the-nevada-republican-caucus/80759894/ On Tuesday, the caucuses begin between 5 and 7 p.m. local time (depending on the county), and the Nevada Republican Party says: "All caucuses end at 9:00 PT. This means we won't expect results to start coming in until after 9:00 PM (or midnight for those of you on the east coast.)" So it will be Wednesday in a big chunk of the country before we know who won on Tuesday. Unlike the Democrats, the Republican caucuses are organized around a secret-ballot presidential preference vote. While the caucuses still select delegates to go to county conventions and contend for tickets to the Republican National Convention, the 30 Nevada delegates that go to Cleveland will be awarded to candidates based on the outcome of the preference poll.
https://twitter.com/RalstonReports @Knave thanks for the twitter handle to follow. Long lines, dropped-out candidates still on the ballot, multiple voting, pure chaos. Nevada apparently had a bill to change to a primary die in the legislature this year. Good Lord.
Yeah, he's a good guy to follow. Would love it if there were guys of similar stature and experience for other states, but there aren't many like him
Third place, Ted!?! Third place!? Ted Cruz is the Chivas USA of the GOP nominating contest. Starts out hopeful, but then disappoints every time.
Dude. Rand Paul almost tripled Jeb!'s vote tally in Nevada (170-64)! Re: Latinos Trump is going to play up getting 45% of the Latino vote, beating both Cruz and Rubio. A couple of points: That is the Republican Latino vote. Most data I've seen indicates that amongst non-Republicans, forget about. The fact that he topped Rubio and Cruz shows that Latinos don't vote by race.
Or it shows that they don't identify with Cuban-Americans where the only thing they have in common is that someone in their family tree speaks/spoke the same language. This is like some people in 2008 thinking that by nominating a woman for VP, some of the Hilary Clinton voters would support that ticket.
He's in the mold of Santorum, Huckabee, Buchanan, Forbes. They're the playoffs-Columbus Crew. Appeal to a niche, build in strength throughout the year, get absolutely flattened. Or, they get a couple wins and then they get cocky and try to pass across the face of goal. fml
Next event: Republican debate on Thursday from the Moores Opera House at the University of Houston. Debate sponsored by CNN & Telemundo. Moderated by Wolf Blitzer. 7:30 p.m. local time (8:30 p.m. ET). Hillary and Bernie are not meeting before Super Tuesday. The next Democrat debate will be Sunday, March 6 in Flint, Michigan.
I wonder how Hector Ortega, born in East L.A., would fare with Nevada's Latino vote. Pretty damn well I should think, assuming that's not talking about deporting his fellow Mexican-Americans.
Romney got 16,486 for a shade over 50% https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index....idential_election_in_Nevada,_2012&redirect=no
We know that Trump fans really love the guy, and that he motivates some voters who would not otherwise participate. That is not the same as being accepted by 50% of the general election voters. I am not saying no, it won't happen. I don't know that. Just hesitant about extrapolating what are in the grand scheme very low numbers.
It's almost Democratic Primary Day in South Carolina! How badly will Bernie lose? I say HRC wins by 24 percent. Because why not ...
Per preliminary exit polls, more than 80% of SC Dems want a candidate with experience, not one "outside the political establishment". Hmm.— Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) February 27, 2016 This is good news for Bernie ...
Okay, I'll roll the dice and say she cracks 30%. Everything seems to be breaking for her there -- big time. S.C. Dems Head To The Polls; Clinton, Sanders Head Out Of State - Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...30fdba-dd18-11e5-891a-4ed04f4213e8_story.html Black voters account for roughly 6 in 10 Democratic primary voters in preliminary exit polls reported by ABC News. That would would set a new record: the current record is 55%, set in 2008 as then-Sen. Barack Obama campaigned — against Clinton herself — to become his party’s first African American nominee. Exit polls reported by ABC News also showed that a large majority of Democratic voters, fully 7 in 10, wanted the next president to continue President Obama’s policies, rather than pursue a more liberal agenda. Sanders has called for a “political revolution” that would enact sweeping liberal policies — including universal, government-run health insurance — beyond what Obama has put in place. And exit polls showed there had been no surge in young voters, a key part of Sanders’s voting base. In these early polls, younger voters’ current share of the vote in South Carolina was on pace to be the lowest yet in any Democratic primary contest this year.
Clinton called winner right away, of course. NBC says: Sanders takes whites 58% to 41% Clinton takes blacks 84% to 16% (60% of the overall voters) Sanders won voters under 30, but they only made up 15% of the overall voters.
