Democrats fall in love with candidates. Republicans fall in line.

No, Democrats typically don't vote the party line. They vote for particular candidates. Hard for Republicans to understand, but that's often the way it is. Republicans? They do their duty, even if they have to hold their nose while voting Republican.

Is that why republicans didn't get behind Romney and aren't getting behind Trump?

Just saw this:





This doesn't mention that Sanders flipped San Francisco county three days ago. San Francisco was at 54.1% Clinton to 45.5% Sanders on election night (assuming that's what NY times is still reporting as of now), and is currently 50.6% Sanders to 49.1% Clinton, which means that in counting its uncounted ballots, San Francisco turned the difference by 10.1%, which is just about the difference by which Clinton won California, but SF isn't even done counting yet, so that difference is likely to get bigger. Also, Clinton typically does better in large cities like SF.

In other words, it is very possible that Sanders will win California because of the ballots yet uncounted.

The gap for the state is widening. Clinton is at 54.3%. Sanders is at 44.8%. You are misunderstanding SF County, according to the info I read. As of today, Clinton won 53% of the vote in SF County, and Sanders got 45%. It hardly changed at all. This is why an election is often called before all votes have been counted. Because they know, from the votes turned in thus far, who will win. SFDOE Results

This is the normal CA election process, according to the state's election controller. 100% of all votes in all precincts don't need to be counted, of course, to determine a winner. That is rarely the case in any election.

It's hard to accept loss. I understand when shifty things go on, and they have gone on in some elections, without a doubt. But there is no need for the Clinton campaign to do anything underhanded to win the nomination. No one is trying to steal the nomination in CA, and the media isn't on board with that.

Clinton was called as winning because in all reasonable probability, she won by a safe margin, so that even if the votes counted after the fact turned in reverse, she would still win, because the gap between the two candidates was large enough to allow for that.

SFDOE is only including the democratic registered voters in that count. The CA secretary of state website includes NPP democratic crossover voters (independents), making Bernie Sanders the winner of San Francisco so far.

Yes.....we're talking about hte Democratic nomination. Duh.

Clinton won CA and SF, hands down. That was true on 6/7, and it is true today. The percentage of the win didn't change much.

This is how CA elections are. Nothing fishy going on here. The winner was called, because Clinton won...even if the remaining counts don't turn out to be in her favor. Because her win is so large, that she would still win.

This is the way election calls are made for all the states. ALL the votes are never counted and certified before we know who won. Now, the winner isn't certified by that state until later.

Republicans did vote for Romney, and they turned out to vote, too. But Republicans can't win a nat'l election with just the Republican vote. Romney lost : (1) the female vote ("bindersfullofwomen"); and (2) the independent vote.

Trump is really an independent, not a Republican. But notice that he DOES have the Republican vote, anyway. He won the Republican nomination hands down. AND they are voting for him in polls when paired against Clinton. Yes....Republicans will vote for Trump. They seem to LOVE him.

Democrats are also delighted that Trump will be the Republican candidate.

LOL. You have a tendency to say some very foolish things. Keep at it I suppose.

I have no god, but Hillary will win with or without #bernhasbusted people.
