Nevada caucus results: Trump poised for big night

http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/23/politics/nevada-republican-caucus-results/

Elko, Nevada (CNN)This state that has long embraced its reputation as the Wild West of politics is expected to embrace anti-establishment candidate Donald Trump (http://www.cnn.com/2013/07/04/us/donald-trump-fast-facts/) in a blowout in the Nevada Republican caucuses on Tuesday night.

In a state where only 33,000 of the state's 400,000 GOP voters turned out to caucus in 2012 -- a mere 7%.

Well it's gonna be funny to watch that's for sure. I'm genuinely interested in what the GOP looks like after the Donald has his way with them. He is a center-right kinda guy so he could actually bust the moral

I was watching "The Five" last night on Fox News and Eric Bolling made the point that either Cruz or Rubio needs to drop out to try and get enough votes to overtake Trump. It seems like that is the case; between Kasich and Carson there aren't that many votes to be had. One of the top 3 needs to drop out but they probably won't.

Turnout was huge, Trump got more votes than the total amount that turned out in 2008. He says the silent majority has awakened. If so, that could lead to an enormous turnout in November. Hopefully the DNC doesn't anger the youth over the Sanders delegates or they will stay home. Shaping up to be Clinton v Trump.

That's actually a good point. I believe Trump will decline when and if the nomination is down to two candidates. Obviously conservatives are nearly split between Rubio and Cruz. I doubt that many of the Cruz or Rubio supporters would turn out for Trump. Certainly not enough for him to win the general election. A Trump nomination would assure a Clinton victory in spite of her obvious ethical lapses.

Kaisich And Carson are basically irrelevant at this point. They can only help now by endorsing another candidate. Even at that, their numbers are irrelevant. Kaisich and Carson know that the nomination is down to three.

Either Cruz or Rubio will drop out sometime in the early to mid summer. Hopefully that will be Cruz. That's no big deal as the Obama vs Clinton thing went on until the summer of 2008.

Except there is no guarantee how that will go. A reporter this morning said that many of those in Nevada that intended to go with Bush, ended up going with Trump. Totally unexpected. So all it would take is a small percentage of Cruz or Rubios followers to like Trump and he takes it. He is way way ahead up here in New England and I don't think he will lose the nomination now. Its too late.

There is a divide amongst democrats as well between their establishment and the progressives. People under 45 or so are far more progressive and favor Sanders. Those older prefer Clinton. Both groups need to show up AND convince independents to vote for them. So far that isn't happening. They aren't even getting the numbers close to 2008.

Hillary's base of support is primarily hard line partisans. The DNC is obviously in the tank for her and she is the nominee, no matter what Sanders supports think about it.

However, those supporting Sanders are not hard line partisans. They are following an ideology. Most are not going to be willing to compromise their ideology and vote for Clinton.

That's highly problematic for the dems then. They rely heavily on the 18-35 aged vote. If they sit home, that spells disaster. It remains if they support Clinton, she stands against everything they claim they want in Sanders. Interesting.

Yes, the Democrats are facing a a dilemma. Do they stick with Hillary and basically blow off a huge voting bloc, or throw in with Sanders who has virtually no shot at winning a national election? The DNC and party elites have already thrown in with Hillary. They are basically stuck with her.

At this point, they are praying for a Trump nomination, because he's the only candidate who garners more negatives than their DNC preferred candidate. All that does though is guarantee them the Oval Office. It won't do anything to get them control of the Senate and that's what they want just as much.

Agree although that also makes it more unpredictable in my opinion. At least with Sanders, the kids will vote and the older people will too. With Clinton they risk alienating the youth. They cant afford to have anyone stay home. Trump is completely unpredictable and knows the Clintons well. He knows their skeletons. He will drag Hillary so far down in the mud with him. All he needs is the economy to tank or a terror attack and he could win. Its that unpredictable.
