Is there much data on the effectiveness of union guidance on voting by members? I don’t get a sense from the people I know that they care one bit about what the union pushes as far as candidates, though they are more likely to respond well to guidance on ballot initiatives.

 

I'd imagine it's a lot more effective in a caucus setting where all of the other union members get to see how you voted.

Sanders will almost certainly hit the convention with the delegate lead, but it remains to be seen if big donors want to prop up other candidates in an effort to block him from a first ballot victory.

This is a blow out for Sanders. There is no denying his power now. This is a diverse state and he is getting plenty of minority support. He is getting momentum points each victory and he is picking up Biden's supporters rather than the center lane. Congrats to all of you Sanders supporters. It's an amazing accomplishment for this guy to be the front runner.

I had a good answer, but my phone is garbage and I lost it. I'll tldr it.

 

His story of unemployment is endearing and if you don't get that you're out of touch. No one will care about a nearly fifty year old fictional rape story when he's running against Donald "grab them by the pussy, they just let you do it if you're a star" Trump. I mean come on. As for the nuclear waste issue, when measured against the sum total of his history won't be that big of a factor. Not his strongest point to be sure. Calling Bernie a racist in any form is rich though, I will give them that.

Klob's a pretty solid progressive. It's sad she's doing the whole Midwestern derp thing to get votes, but she votes like a progressive.

Except for Trump's judicial nominees, which are far more consequential than any progressive vote she had.

Dem megadonors stand pat as Bernie soars

They have correctly assessed it would be a losing proposition.

You are misunderstanding my point. The lesser candidates need money in their campaigns to keep operations going, not to specifically attack Sanders. 
 

See this quote from the article for reference to what I was talking about:

For most big Democratic donors right now, donating to super PACs aiding other candidates like Biden and Buttigieg — or throwing in to support New York City's former Mayor Mike Bloomberg — are the only ways they see themselves spending money to try, indirectly, to halt Sanders’ rise.


The question is will the big donors continue to prop up these campaigns to hold Sanders off from getting to 50%+1. That doesn’t require attacking Sanders directly, which they don’t want to do.

Ah yes, I see what you mean. You're correct. That remains to be seen. My guess is some will see it as a lost cause while others will try to stop him, kind of like the movement against Trump in the 2016 GOP primary.

The story here is Sanders smart play on hispanics. He is cleaning up with Hispanics three contests in, and that voting demo is much larger than the Black demo that Biden has been favored by. And you’ve got California and Texas looming with massive Hispanic populations. Super Tuesday could be an absolute bloodbath...

Manipulating is probably the wrong word, but my personal experience seems to suggest immigrant voters are more influenced by their politically motivated native children than native voters are by their snot nosed know it all children. I would not be surprised if that is common in the Hispanic community beyond my relatives for which it is true.

I would also agree with this based off of the small sample size I know.
