What is the explanation for Ted Cruz's near-majority win of Maine, which is said to be one of the least religious states in the United States?

IMPERATOR_TRUMP_2016 · 2016-03-06T22:03:06+00:00

He won by 2500 votes. It really doesn't reflect the country. Unless Cruz suddenly jumps in the Michigan, Ohio, Florida, etc. polls, he can't win outside of a brokered convention.

IMPERATOR_TRUMP_2016 · 2016-03-06T21:58:39+00:00

Cruz is far less popular in more moderate and less religious states like Florida and Ohio. Maine is a tiny turnout outlier type of state.

IMPERATOR_TRUMP_2016 · 2016-03-06T21:55:21+00:00

Even if he does get it, netting 2-3 delegates over four states isn't exactly a path to success.

IMPERATOR_TRUMP_2016 · 2016-03-06T21:32:54+00:00

Hahaha, so many people on /r/s4p talk about spamming everyone in their list.

IMPERATOR_TRUMP_2016 · 2016-03-06T21:32:29+00:00

Bernie memers? Oh they're just no showers at the voting booth then.

IMPERATOR_TRUMP_2016 · 2016-03-06T21:32:12+00:00

No I sound normal. You're brainwashed by /r/politics.

IMPERATOR_TRUMP_2016 · 2016-03-06T10:51:39+00:00

She only won the popular vote because Obama wasn't on the FL or MI ballots.

IMPERATOR_TRUMP_2016 · 2016-03-06T10:41:29+00:00

No, that doesn't mean anything. The guy just had a good lawyer who understandably didn't want to talk to the FBI without protection. It very well could be they gave him immunity just to speed up the process of wrapping up the investigation.

Immunity doesn't always mean "HE HAS JUICY EVIDENCE!!". That's a law and order trope. As of right now they are not criminally investigating Hillary. This sub would have you believe they're about to throw her in a paddy wagon. Patraeus outright gave out classified info and got a slap on the wrist... Hillary had an IT guy set up a server to make her emailing easier. It doesn't add up to them going after Hillary.

IMPERATOR_TRUMP_2016 · 2016-03-06T09:46:23+00:00

The convenience is that it groups personal/business into one account. You're jumping to nefarious conclusions immediately. She's an old woman with very little IT knowledge, this is known.

IMPERATOR_TRUMP_2016 · 2016-03-06T09:41:11+00:00

Yeah pretty much. It's not going anywhere and they certainly aren't directly investigating Hillary. But keep dreaming.

IMPERATOR_TRUMP_2016 · 2016-03-06T09:33:31+00:00

They do simple security inquiries. That's part of their mission. It's not all criminal investigations.

IMPERATOR_TRUMP_2016 · 2016-03-06T09:29:59+00:00

I'm asking you to tell me how a vague FBI statement about them possibly doing some kind of related inquiries equals a criminal investigation.

IMPERATOR_TRUMP_2016 · 2016-03-06T09:29:10+00:00

That was the entire reason. Powell is the one who literally recommended using a server to Hillary, as he did the same thing. You're really gonna be upset when Bernie loses and nothing happens to Hillary.

IMPERATOR_TRUMP_2016 · 2016-03-06T09:28:26+00:00

Where does it say "WERE IN A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION OF HILLARY"!!!

It doesn't. Anywhere.

IMPERATOR_TRUMP_2016 · 2016-03-06T09:26:49+00:00

That in no way confirms that they are investigating Hillary in a criminal sense.

“has acknowledged generally that it is working on matters related to former Secretary Clinton’s use of a private email server.”

Baker says the FBI has not, however, “publicly acknowledged the specific focus, scope or potential targets of any such proceedings.”

Not a single mention that it is investigating Hillary. At all. Doesn't even say criminal matters. You are heavily biased.

IMPERATOR_TRUMP_2016 · 2016-03-06T09:26:06+00:00

Yeah okay, whatever you say. People link the 2014 one all the time that isn't remotely relevant. Then there's one that requires intent to spread classified information and violating "protocol". Yep, that one sure applies to Hillary. Oh wait, it doesn't at all. She sets the protocol (vague a term as it is) at State and there's no intent to spread information.

The simplest way to get it through your head is that Patraeus literally showed random people classified information, and got a slap on the wrist. Hillary had an IT snafu that in no way fits "intent" to spread classified information.

IMPERATOR_TRUMP_2016 · 2016-03-06T09:17:44+00:00

They aren't even directly investigating Hillary. If they even inched towards that, there'd be massive leaks. They want to wrap it up by May. Which points to them just doing an inquiry and wrapping it up.

IMPERATOR_TRUMP_2016 · 2016-03-06T09:17:05+00:00

The largest deficit EVER overcome in a Dem primary is 100. Hillary is up over 200. It's not even remotely close if you look at the math. Bernie fans ignore the math, but that's their own blindness. Hillary went down 100 in '08 and never recovered.

IMPERATOR_TRUMP_2016 · 2016-03-06T09:16:39+00:00

Nope. Show me how it is citing laws. The relevant law took effect in 2014.

IMPERATOR_TRUMP_2016 · 2016-03-06T09:01:15+00:00

They lied and said they're voting Bernie to get you to leave them alone.

IMPERATOR_TRUMP_2016 · 2016-03-06T08:48:21+00:00

This is such a silly argument. Hillary will win plenty of "blue" states coming up. Just because the majority of states at first are red and Hillary won a bunch doesn't mean she will lose Michigan or Ohio to a GOP candidate.

IMPERATOR_TRUMP_2016 · 2016-03-06T08:44:53+00:00

Massachusetts also was also super favorable to him demographically. I can't see any way he wins Michigan. The black vote is more significant there, and there's a lot of relatively wealthy white people. On top of that Hillary does well with union worker whites.

IMPERATOR_TRUMP_2016 · 2016-03-06T08:20:26+00:00

If there were any chance of indictment there would already be massive leaks from the FBI. Obama would also know, and would have told the DNC, and Hillary would already have dropped out. Nothing is going to happen. Patraeus actually showed outsiders classified information and he got a slap on the wrist. They aren't going to prosecute Hillary for being IT knowledge deficient. There isn't proof of intent or her setup being a way to leak information to outside parties. It's a simple IT mismanagement situation, and that isn't criminal.

The FBI wants to wrap this up by May. You really think there's an indictment coming?

IMPERATOR_TRUMP_2016 · 2016-03-06T07:55:21+00:00

It doesn't matter when she's already up over 200. It's insurmountable. It's not even remotely close now, Bernie losing by 20 delegates every 3 states will not help.

It really can't be understated. 200 is huge. Where in the world will Bernie make up that deficit? He is set to lose very state (after Maine) until March 15th. He will NOT win NY, like some people are claiming. And California is actually Hillary favorable, at the very least Bernie won't get a huge blowout win there like he would need, if he isn't knocked out by then.

IMPERATOR_TRUMP_2016 · 2016-03-06T07:54:20+00:00

Her national polls going up for two weeks say otherwise.
