It's pretty dumb but it does help serve the majority rule =/= mob rule thing

Do you think that's a good tradeoff for scrapping the idea that every citizen has an equal vote though?

Not at all. The Senate can block a bill while representing like 20% of the population iirc. Or lower. Can't remember

nevermind

This can't be right. Less than 1000 people voted in Wyoming?

There's supposed to be 26 delegates but only have 11 for candidates right now. Trump has one delegate for beating rubio 21-19 in Teton and Sublette counties.

Should be cruz's best state, Wyoming is up there wirh Montana and the Dakota when we're talking about rural states.

So I guess the twitter backlash was just that. A minor rant by a few people.

[dbestpro]

Wyoming has almost 1000 GOP votes, this is true. It is also true that they have less than 600,000 people, while Iowa had around 1400 democratic votes with 5 million people. Neither, really matters, but just keeping it all in perspective.

Read up about how the Wyoming caucuses are held, Reck. You'll be laughing.

Wait for the real states to point and laugh, tbh. Still haven't see what the picture looks, though, the smoke is still clearing. I think Cruz is going to get bit in the ass, but not sure about Kasich yet. Your boy Rubio shouldn't even be within 20 in Florida though

Yeah, there's no really telling what DC is planning to do. Only 2.8k voters? I heard there were 6k on the news

How many delegate is that?

I didn't even realize there were voting going on today. CNN is too doing whatever the they're doing.

Same, I think Cruz netted 9 and Rubio I dunno, DC doesn't have much.

10 Apparently.

So essentially Marco won the night with 11 delegates.

Must have been a ty day because there were zero coverage of this.

Just Trump coverage on Marco's big day. They didn't even tweet their thank yous like usual, I imagine those two wake up tomorrow and see on the news that they won something and think to themselves "Damn, I forgot to give out a victory speech."

The Wyoming caucus started in February and doesn't actually end until April 14 when another 14 delegates will be awarded...

If you read up on it and actually understand it you're doing better than me...it's a pretty ed up process.

FiveThirtyEights delegate tracker is pretty good for getting an idea of where each candidate stands

Trump has more protesters at his events than little Marco has supporters in his own state

[Reck]

Ey Mitch how many states you reckon Bernie will win tomorrow?

I say 1, maybe 2.

Probably one, any more is an upset

[Reck]

2 is very realistic and to be honest, expected.

Missouri and Illinois.

a non-proportional Senate is the problem

[Mitch]

Wouldn't matter unless their winner take alls, but would be nice to get his nams up there some more to with Hillary's ego. Heard Trump just snagged 9/9 delegates from the mariana islands at 70%. I thought Rubio would sweep the unknown territories

Dems don't have winner take alls. It's always proportionally allocated.

Hes got an insignificant lead in Florida right now.

Its early as but the fact he's even leading there right now is hilarious.
