2016 Postmortem

http://fivethirtyeight.com/live-blog/nevada-caucus-south-carolina-primary-presidential-election-2016/?#livepress-update-16903922While Clinton has won the first two caucuses in the Democratic race while losing New Hampshire, the only primary its possible that Bernie Sanders will win every state caucus from here on out.
Heres why I say that. The remaining Democratic states to hold caucuses are: Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, Washington and Wyoming. Other than Hawaii where Im not going to pretend we have any earthly idea whats going to happen those are a bunch of really white states that otherwise look favorable for Sanders and which he could win even if he slightly trails Clinton nationally.
Clinton is probably favored in the territorial caucuses in American Samoa, Guam and the Virgin Islands, however, as territorial caucuses tend to heavily favor establishment candidates.

Tuesday.

(36,063 posts)7. Didn't Nate say Bernie might win IA and NH and lose everything else?
It is hard to keep up -and- balance old conjectures with the new ones.
I'd be happy if Nate just fucking dropped off the interwebs.

Since Sanders won Latinos in NV by 11%.
