Alpha's Primary Election Live Blog for New Jersey, California etc.
Well, this is the big one!
Despite the DNC & the media's best attempts to shut down the Sanders campaign here it is, June 7th and we are still trucking on towards the convention!!!
I will be posting election return results as they come in as well as watching and commenting on the live stream of The Young Turks election coverage.
[video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfH6El-CvTM]
Also, I will link the Guardian's live results link here so we can watch Mini-Bernie color in the maps, provided they even have it up with Hillary already having "Won". (Hopefully we don't have to see to much Clinton, I find even the mini version annoying... )
I hope you guys join me for my last live blog until possibly the convention! I was a bit worried about even being up since there was supposed to be a tropical storm coming through but so far just some high winds and lots of lighting and rain.
But I knew I was in for this when I moved to Florida in the first place. 
See you at 6 EST!
Comments
Oh, Thanks, Alpha!
I see how it is now. I didn't even notice the NJ heading, ha. Just saw Bernie's name wasn't there. I think I am on edge!
Thank you for the live blog too!
Ugh, Bernie needs to take the lead in a NJ county soon...
Mini-Hillary is making me want to shoot my monitor.

AP radio news at 9 pm just reported that NJ has not been called
yet. On Sirius XM.
But guess what, they had a quick "interview" for 20 seconds with a Hillary supporter who said she was in the White House for a lot of years and knows a lot of things. OMFG.
Who's one of the heads at AP who will shortly get a high paying job with the Clinton Foundation.
There has been so much
Election fraud and misdeeds that I'm very concerned about tonight's results.
You should be
the AP announced it would be 57-43 before the results started coming in. Lo and behold! it's holding at exaclty 57-43 from the moment the first few hundred ballots were reported,.
Hi, thanks alphalop, for doing this,
as of when will the other states (aside from CA and NJ) close their polls and results are to be expected to come in? CA is 11 pm EST. How about Montana, NM, ND and SD ?
I rather go to sleep now and wake up later. And if all we get is a sinking feeling, I shut down. I already feel like in a surreal world. +
May be if Clinton wins it's better/ducking, because I feel she would act like a zombie on revenge war trail, if she loses.
I see that over in France and Germany they report about the election the same stupid way as they do here.
https://www.euronews.com/live
Thanks for coming! I plan on sticking to it till I pass out. :)
Either from alcohol or exhaustion. lol!
I am optimistic about every state but NJ, so I figure after the initial depressing news we will get a refresher with the central states and finish off with a nice win in CA to wrap up the night and top off the buzz.

Uggh!

This is most distressing, I expected a loss in NJ but not this big. I wonder if the AP proclamation had anything to do with it.

Looking at BBC news, basically spinning for hill...
so sad, all the msm is in the bag.
Heading for TYT now, whew~
No problem! Thank you for coming by! TYT is like a breath of
fresh air after taking my Masochism Tour® around the various MSM outlets & the GOS the other day.
The Media should strive for such integrity in asking the hard questions.
Even if they do have a bias, it's an open one that they wear on their sleeve, I don't mind you showing your bias, but dammit, be fucking honest about it, don't try to pretend to be otherwise.
I can handle honest disagreement, but duplicity automatically turns me off.

Big traffic jam trying to get out of ABQ. Got to the polls at 6:50. 10 minutes to spare, whew! Two women got there as I was leaving - they were in the traffic jam, too. 5 minutes to spare for them!

Hard to give this a like
but sadly this is what it comes down to. What's with these states that carry this Democratic bs. and call this crap merits? At the time my ass. How any years? What time are you speaking of? This time with any idea that does not fall within the perimeters of a lesser evil gets short shifted into the impossible. It's merit at this point has nothing to do with the reality we all face. An idea is responsible to who carries it. An idea is separate from the pols of mass deception. The insane place where all 'ideas' that are universal 'merits' go to be killed has absolutely nothing to do with this farce of an election no matter how you cut it.
Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, and how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?
Please do not talk of merits and ideas that are timeless and who's carrying what. This is the way we end up accepting the outcome of rigged in every way of a fake anti-democratic election such as this as winning on it's own merits.There is nothing worthy or of merit about this primary. It's naked power and anti-democratic and has nothing to do with any merits other then then fear of something even worse. Bernie made his point and yet he will fall. Is this because the merits he espoused are irrelevant? I don not think so.
On a side note, I keep smelling the strong smell of fake butter
like that used in the big packages distributed to Movie theaters and such for their popcorn makers.
What is really odd about this is I haven't made any popcorn, microwave or otherwise in days.
Wtf is up with that? It is bizarre because they are intense, random and untraceable.

Perhaps it is the effluvia of
Perhaps it is the effluvia of mendacity in which the TV talking heads and other complicit media are so encrusted that under the heat of TV studio lights and HD thingamabobbers (whatever makes HD into HD instead of Regular D - I don't know what it is science-wise, but it must give off heat, if not light, much like the TV talking heads) that even when you don't have your TV on, it seeps through the climate-changed lower atmospheres and sneaks into your house to catch you unawares and freak you out.
P.S. Do I babble when I'm nervous? Why yes, thank you for asking, I do.
Babble away, and bonus points for using effluvia. :)

Awesome, why don't people understand this.
This is not 2008. When Hillary supported Obama after the primaries she claimed that while they had their difference on the campaign trail they differences they have with the the Republican Party are far greater. This is not the case in a Hillary/Trump standoff.

Please start a new diary. Alpha's Live Blog #2 When they get this big, old equipment and phones can't handle them. LD could have as many as five diaries in one nights election. . You do not need to move TYT or the other link. They can stay here and be used from here. Others have asked and would appreciate having smaller threads that are not as taxing to load and refresh. The server would like it too is my guess.

Interesting that our hosts, super cool people, are a Republican and a Democrat. The Democrat voted for Bernie today and will not vote for Hillary, even to stop Drumpf. The Republican wanted to vote for Bernie but could not, and will not vote for Hillary nor Drumpf.
Looking forward to the results tonight.

I don't do waiting well. And these past few primary/caucus
events have left me totally jaded so I don't expect much good to come out of them anymore. Boxer's whole "I was afraid..." schtick was about the last straw.
Put me on the list for thinking we need to start a viable third party. This Heckle & Jeckle routine we got going on between the two parties currently in charge of things isn't doing us one bit of good. If one of the greedy. self-serving bastids (sides) isn't coming up with a way to screw someone (us), then the other one is. Amd they both say it's for the good of the 'country'.Remember, it was this Third Way 'Democratic' president that put the safety net up for cuts.
