The NYT voter entrance poll provides an interesting picture of who Clinton and Sanders appeal to.

I can see Bernie Sanders winning the presidency.

I like him, I really do, but no. Not a cats chance. He's lucky that the two first-voting states are two of his 3 or 4 best states demographicaly, HRC will clean up on super tuesday and it'll be done.

IF something daft happens and she gets indicted or pulls out or whatever, Berni would probably be neck-and-neck against Cruz, would lose honourably against Trump and would have his arse kicked against Rubio, probably only winning Vermont in that scenario.

A possible explanation for that is that if you are old enough to have benefited from the past 30 years of the political and economic establishment stick with it and don't get off. Otherwise if you are younger, the establishment train has left and you might be inclined to look for another train.

It's yet another triumph for the opinion pollsters who predicted a 6% for Trump and a 4% victory for Clinton (and that based on how people voted, not intentions). It does make me wonder whether chicken giblets may not be a better guide than 'scientific' polling

Or simply, you get more right wing as you get older!

Cruz is a more terrifying prospect than Trump, proper right wing extremist that will be the darling of Fox News

Clinton is pretty terrifying as well.

Have just read the NYT latest report.
It is saying Trump has suffered a humbling loss, more like the voter has spoken?

"Instead, Mr. Trump paid the price for building only a rudimentary political organization in the state: The brew of energy and anger powering his candidacy did not fully translate into votes."

Cruz is a more terrifying prospect than Trump,

Agreed. Some of his positions are barmy.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Clinton is pretty terrifying as well.

How is she terrifying exactly? Cruz wants to abolish Obama's healthcare plan and rip up the deal with Iran plunging the world into crisis again. Clinton wants to extend health care, continue Obama's friendly foreign policy and take action on guns. Trying to see how Clinton is terrifying there

I agree. The prospect of a Christian fundamentalist theocrat at the White Hose would send the US back decades. The GOP have no chance of being elected with this lot in charge of the asylum.

yes. But thankfully he can't win nationally

 

[Lower West Stander]

Never has the difference between intelligent America and stupid America been more clearly defined.

I'd vote Joel Osteen......

 

[Guinness Boy]

Trump beaten by man who really believes the horrible things he says.

Clinton is one of the most qualified people ever to run, I hope she can deliver a knock-out blow on Super Tuesday.
