@redshirt: Dudette! Its a local feed. All they’re showing is the podium and the crowd and there’s music playing in the background. That’s it. And it was the only live feed I could find that didn’t have a talking head attached to it.

@Baud:
Trump has 58% of non-college graduate whites… but tied with HRC for college educated whites…and that’s a good thing…how?
Kornacki was on MSNBC talking bout Trump strategy is to get a larger share of the white vote than Romney to somehow offset, the large gap in non-white votes vs HRC
Adam L Silverman
And its starting now. They’re doing the National Anthem.

@Baud:
I’m sorry if I missed it from one of the other threads but is there going to be a Baud concession speech or is Baud taking it to the convention? Perhaps running third party or showing real commitment and planning a shadow government of some kind.

Nice speech, and I loved the reference to Seneca Falls at the beginning.
MSNBC just called New Mexico for Clinton. I’m not deeply into the idea of rubbing it in, but I do think it would be good for her to come as close to possible as sweeping tonight to put an exclamation point.
Rachel Maddow trying to get Amy Klobuchar to say whether she’s in the running for VP. It’s actually kind of funny.

So, no more triangulation, eh? She’s pretty magnificent in this ass kicking mode.
I think she’s the perfect opponent for Trump and the GOP today. She’s been in the receiving end of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy (hey, she *was* right about that too) for 25 years. Now she’s got the chance to do something about it and looks like she’s taking it.
This is going to be fun.

Adam L Silverman
someone on the CSpan post speech call in was explaining he’s been waiting 40 years to cast a vote against the establishment, which is why he’s voting for Trump, because the establishment has destroyed the country. Starting when it pushed the US into WW I which caused the rise of Hitler. So this schmo is voting for Trump because he believes it’ll teach Woodrow Wilson a lesson.

Incredible speech. I never listen to the talking heads, much less the callers, so I can bask in the moment without a bunch of airheads and fools putting their spin on it.
It’s absolutely fabulous that the Democrats are following the first African American President with the first woman getting a major party nomination for President. Even better that it’s Hillary, who has seen, done and endured so much and understands it all.
I’m really looking forward to her continuing to shiv Trump and the GOP.

I think that was my first glimpse of the vast right-wing conspiracy at work with regard to HRC. So proud of her tonight, I could burst.

@SFAW: Dumb Jabbar. I think you’ve got one extra syllable.
Omnes Omnibus
@Gin & Tonic: It is obvious that your statement is not true.
Matt McIrvin
@Miss Bianca: That was the exact moment at which Hillary Clinton became Satan to the American right.
Miss Bianca
@Ernest Pikeman: And you know what the most awesome thing is? Against Trump she can really turn on the leftist-populist barnburning. If I am grateful to Bernie Sanders for nothing else in this primary season, it’s for demonstrating beyond the shadow of a doubt that there really are receptive ears all across America for that kind of message.
amk
Congrats, Ms HRC.
Now, go kick the racist thug’s puny ass.
Davebo
Looks like she’s winning CA with roughly the same margin as NJ with roughly 18% reported.
Should I stay of for Bernie’s concession speech?
Matt McIrvin
Something remarkable is going on with the California numbers. I assume these are all early-vote counts at this point?
Run, Lillian!
Benchmark: With 7% reporting, Clinton is ahead by 26 points!!! Maybe an early call-

Completely OT, but I was looking at a map of California results, and shee-it, San Bernardino County is enormous.
Matt McIrvin
Unless the returns narrow considerably, CA looks like it could be one of the biggest polling fails of the season. The late numbers had it within 1-2 points.

@Miss Bianca: Speaking of hateful assholes, can you imagine what’s going on at Trump’s HQ right now?
Miss Bianca
@Adam L Silverman: Cracking me up, you creature! “Come for the yoga pants, stay for the drama”.

@burnspbesq:
Be magnanimous in victory. Especially if Bernie works hard for Hillary from now on.

@SFAW: LMAO you win!
Run, Lillian!

A big thanks to CA for saying big FU to bs and his minions.

South Dakota is looking more like a squeaker Clinton win now–Sanders hasn’t been gaining as much from Rapid City as I thought.

Probably sipping an expensive single malt, with an ice cube, and laughing about how he hit it out of the park all week.

@Gin & Tonic: Yes it is. It is bigger than some states. I was born in San Bernardino and lived in San Berdo County until I was 25 and went into the army. I still miss the mountains and the desert.
Matt McIrvin
@amk: Unfortunately this also feeds into the notion that the Associated Press call suppressed the Bernie vote in California.
SFAW
@NotMax:
I like it, except that it casts Deadbeat Donnie as Paul Atreides. Deadbeat Donnie, a/k/a Combover Caligula, would be a Harkonnen
Amir Khalid
it don’t know if it really matters now, but Hillary is leading Bernie by 30+ percentage points in California.
Omnes Omnibus
@SFAW: Not especially if, only if. If she wins and flips the Senate without his help, Sanders will be cast into the void.
celticdragonchick
@Ernest Pikeman:
Thanks. :)
I had fun making that up.

@Matt McIrvin: Who gives a shite any more? If they wanted to believe in unicorns of ‘polls’, it’s their problem.

@Run, Lillian!: 538 points out that the early CA returns are the earliest mail-in ballots, which historically come from the over-55 crowd. (Like me! Crones RULE!) The next batch will be the Election Day votes, and the last batch will be the late mail-in ballots. Expect the lead to narrow considerably. If it gets really thin, we may not know the outcome for a bit.
Miss Bianca
@Mnemosyne: Pretty much, yeah.
OK, I’m going to try the email thing now and see if it works, k?
burnspbesq
@Matt McIrvin:
Most likely. I expect the margin to narrow as more in-person votes get counted.
Gin & Tonic
@celticdragonchick: I can fit RI into it 16 times.

@SFAW:
I could totally see Trump as Baron Harkonnen. All he needs is a grav chair to go drifting around the room while boasting about his sexual exploits and making perv suggestions about underage kids.

@Gin & Tonic
If California were a separate country its economy would be the 7th largest on the planet.
burnspbesq
Harris has a big lead, but Sanchez is only five points up on something called Duf Sundheim.
Elie
@Matt McIrvin:
Its a huge state in population. To make much of a difference overall there would have to be something very systematic. That said, even if the turnout was huge and Bernie lost, there would have to be SOME reason, no? (rigged, fraudulent, people were kept from voting) There were always differences in polled results based on likely registered voters as I recall… Lets see as things roll out..
redshirt
@NotMax: It would probably be even larger due to being an independent country. Also, too.
Miss Bianca
@Matt McIrvin: IKR? Who knew that cookies were SO IMPORTANT to America?
celticdragonchick
Good night everyone. Today was a damned good day to be a Democrat!
Davebo
@NotMax: Actually, the 8th now based on GDP.
Damn you India!

@Adam L Silverman:
The Washington Post version (linked in the Jezebel one) has some extra details that explain the murder charge. Apparently witnesses saw the car at a standstill with the two sisters inside when the driver suddenly stomped on the accelerator and drove off the cliff. Not exactly what you want your Cub Scouts to see on their outing.
SoupCatcher
@Gin & Tonic: And it used to be even bigger.
eta: Although some of the original counties dwarfed it in comparison.

@amk:
Give it time, man. We’ve still got a lot of time to screw this up in CA. :P
SFAW
@Adam L Silverman:
First of all: thank you.
Second: can we keep him banned? He will not “learn his lesson” –he’s already been banned for racism, for sexism, plus tonight (not sure into which category it falls, didn’t see his comment, saw your reason). I just get so tired of seeing his lying and hateful crap.

Duf is now available in convenient 48-packs. Mmmmm, Duf.
Miss Bianca
@The Thin Black Duke: I confess to a morbid curiosity. Also about what’s going on in the Sanders HQ!
I’m been privately predicting a rout in CA, and i’m going to go out on a limb and say I expect it to go big for Clinton.
I'mNotSureWhoIWantToBeYet
(What is it that keeps the AV systems from working right from the get-go in important events like this?)
A very good speech. She covered all the important themes very well. She showed people, again, how human and likable she is. She showed where she gets her strength and that she won’t back down from Donnie.
I like that she appealed to everyone, not just her supporters, not just Democrats, but even to Republicans, to remember what this country is really all about.
I hope Bernie gets on the bus soon, and works hard to bring his people with him.
We need to run the table this fall. We need to do all we can to help her make that happen.
Cheers,
Scott.

@Miss Bianca: There were certain elements in the “tease”, if I may use that word, for the story that were essential to my interests. And it did. And then the story got weird, really, really weird.
Miss Bianca
@Run, Lillian!: Central Mountain region. I’ll probably be doing phone-banking rather than physical canvassing.

@celticdragonchick:
And if he grav chair moves fast enough, we get to see his combover trailing behind him.
And, not disagreeing with you, but I think Rushbo fits that profile a little better (fat, likes underage boys).

@Miss Bianca:
… which is when I discover that I’ve forgotten the super-seekrit password to that account. Fuck.
Davebo
@Miss Bianca:
It’s certainly looking like a rout in CA. If this holds up it’s going to make the CA polling look even worse than the MI polling was.
Miss Bianca
@Adam L Silverman: “interests” plural – so, Beyond the Yoga Pants. I see. //
ETA: I see what you mean. I only just skimmed it and thought, “whoa. This is seriously twisted. This is like the Coen Brothers go to Hawaii.”

I didn’t think I’d be emotional about this, but when she came out and just basked in the applause and again when she talked about her mother, I teared up. This is a great day for America. The speech was well delivered and moving. Watched back to back with Trump it was no contest.
Game on.
CA Clinton up 62 36 with 5 % in.

@Davebo:
Sit tight — it could narrow considerably since this is an open primary — We’ll see.

Does it also come in 40s? How about tallboys?

Crones do rule! My nym is an homage to my favorite tv crone! I look forward to getting into lots of trouble and having loads of fun when I get there. It will be a while yet. :)
And the AP has officially called SD for Clinton!
Miss Bianca
@Mnemosyne: Ach! Maybe we’ll have to have Dr. Silverman arrange an introduction or something. Or maybe you’ll have to start randomly entering passwords.
O. Felix Culpa
@Miss Bianca: Volunteered for Hillary’s GOTV effort in NM. Feeling good about the results. :)
redshirt
I can’t wait for President Hillary Clinton.
Adam L Silverman
@Mnemosyne: They definitely have the crazy thing going on in most of their pictures.
Miss Bianca
@Davebo: Michigan shocked me – CA does not. I always had a feeling it would break big for Clinton, despite the pretensions of the Sanders campaign. CA would have shocked me if it had gone for Sanders, altho’ the margin may well narrow.
@O. Felix Culpa: Congratulations and thanks to you, too!
burnspbesq
LAT just called the Senate race for Harris.
Adam L Silverman
@SFAW: I can try, but its never easy proving its the same person, even if we know it is.
Run, Lillian!

Excellent! Let’s finally turn CO blue instead of this purple color the media is always bathing us in.
I have a fantastic view of the mountains from my perch on the fourth floor and have waved in your direction. :)

@Miss Bianca: You can see the crazy coming off them in the pictures. They just sort of exude it.
Adam L Silverman
@Miss Bianca: I think I only have her email address where she can’t remember the password.

@Adam L Silverman: In the past, i would be looking for the phone numbers of the crazies. Now, I just ask that if you discover them, that you send them to Corner Stone.

@Miss Bianca:
It’s Gmail, so I can do a password retrieval if I have to, but I’d rather remember the damned thing if I can. Argh.

NBC just called SD for Clinton.
Interesting factoid courtesy of Harry Enten at 538: if Clinton holds onto CA, she wins the seven biggest states (by pledged delegates) and 10 of the top 11.
Omnes Omnibus
@burnspbesq: She got everything today?
Adam L Silverman
@Omnes Omnibus: That’s two of us! Been there, done that, have the t-shirts.
Adam L Silverman
@Omnes Omnibus: Everything but ND, which was a caucus.
Omnes Omnibus
@Adam L Silverman: High five and shit, but we’ve both grown up. Right?
ETA: Send non-confidential stuff to Corner Stone.
Matt McIrvin
@Omnes Omnibus: Montana and California haven’t been called yet. Clinton has a narrow lead in Montana and a huge one in California… but the California results so far are early votes that may be skewed toward groups who favor Clinton, and may have also been made when she had a larger statewide lead. Still, the lead is enormous.
Miss Bianca
@Adam L Silverman: She is a resourceful gal, I am sure she will find it.
Lizzy L
@Adam L Silverman: Bernie Sanders is leading in Montana.
Matt McIrvin
…and in Montana, Clinton’s lead is less than a thousand votes with only 23.7% of the state in, so there’s plenty of room for reversals there.
ETA: Excuse me, that’s Sanders’ lead (thanks Lizzy L).

@Matt McIrvin:
The above is one of the reasons Sanders was never really in Clinton’s league as a candidate. One of the cornerstones of Obama’s wins was banking early votes as much as possible, and 2016 Hillary seems to have picked up on that.
Bernie preferred to hold rallies and listen to people cheer his name. Amateur hour.

Hillz did a great job tonight. It was very touching.
Trump’s speech was flat bc he used a TelePrompTer (just like Obama.). Heh
Also, it sounded like he inhaled quickly after he read every line. It was strange.

@lamh36:
Compared to how Romney did, Trump has 1% more of the non-college whites, which Kornacki called a troubling trend, and has 14% LESS of the college educated whites, but Kornacki held out hope that Trump could make some of that up. I mean, he was really trying to make it seem that was good news for Donald Trump, but, it seems to me those are very good numbers for Clinton. I mean, overall, it appears she is doing better with white voters than Obama did. Be interesting to see what the male-female breakdown is.
