nah i'm betting we go for trump.

I remember Huckabee staying in long after he'd been mathematically eliminated, saying "I didn't major in math, I majored in miracles."

Rubio: "Do not give into the fear, do not give into anger. Do not give into sham artists and con artists who try to take advantage of your suffering, your hardships."
going for the old "not the robots you're looking for" ploy

are there Mexicans in Hawaii

Even though Cruz is winning Texas, it looks like Rubio may win Austin. Who knew?

can't wait to see who in the GOP falls in the Trump conga line and who rails against his apostasy til the very end

God, this press conference and Christie's face in the backgrounds

God, this press conference and Christie's face in the background

Clinton pulling away in MA now

My sense is that, unless Sanders did really well in Worcester, the state is probably hers?

I doubt that anyone who falls into the conga line will look more painfully diminished than Christie does right now.

Goo, this ass conference and Christie's face in the background

Trump will be our next President. Listening to his press conference, it's like music. Pure poetry.

God, this press conference and Christie's face in the backgrounds

God, this press conference and Christie's face in the backgrounding

Trump says he'll get along with Paul Ryan, and, "if I don't, he's gonna have to pay a big price, O.K.?"

politics as wrestling bloodsport is amazing and weird and terrifying and hysterical

Christie is a Machiavellian genius. He's not going to be governor for much longer. So now he'll either be Vice President (or goebbels or whatever) if trump wins, or rewarded with some bank making business bullshit role if he loses

trump says absolutely nothing except empty slogans and shit talk. its amazing.

God, this press conference and Christie's face in the backgrounder

a screaming fascist manbaby is the choice for leader from a considerable percentage of the american population and that's not a good thing

trump is going to win the nomination. i keep wondering about who is going to fall in line behind him and who will be too principled. will nro/commentary types truly #nevertrump or will jonah goldburg dutifully support the nominee? marco rubio? the bush family or romney?

God, this press conference and Christie's face like a moon pie in the background

jeez, even the usually sober Talking Points Memo has bought into the cable news/advertising twaddle that Cruz's two wins are a "major upset."

God, this press conference and Christie's face in Trump's ass

Clinton pulling away in MA now

hasn't been called by anyone yet. boston is about 83% in and there's still a lot of boonies (which should be good for bernie) at 0%

#bernies you mean

This has to be a demoralizing nightmare for 97% of the (phantom?) Republican establishment: they now have to choose between Trump or Cruz. That's all that left.

more lately (~25 years), but hawaii is a dem machine state and i'm p sure its republican primary base is embattled-feeling whites and a handful of rich asians. from a political perspective the black population is zero. we also have unusually low turnout (for america!) which i guess is bad for trump if it continues, but this is a weird year.

"ted cruz is having his victory party at the redneck country club.. that's the name of it, don't get mad at me for saying it"

Not only is it real, it's in my hometown, next to a Waffle House, an off-brand motel (used to be a LA Quinta), and a WalMart. The owner is a local Right Wing douchecanoe radio guy.

what's (# of republican primary voters)/(# of 2012 romney voters), there's still not concrete evidence that Hiterline demagoguery plays for more than somewhere less than 50% of the GOP primary electorate

I think the Republican establishment will vote for HRC

xps

in other news the hawaii elections website is not accepting any combination of the inscrutable and unlabeled numbers on my driver's license

I meant "Hitlerine" not "Hitlerline" neither of which is a word but oh well

Re:Rubio in Austin--it's probably down to Young Repubs at UT and surrounding schools for whom Trump & Cruz are too mersh.

Cruz openly calling for Rubio/Kasich/Carson to throw in with him, also quoting Democratic presidents.

Trump and Cruz at the top, amazing

you misspelled "horrifying"

well, that too

Cruz is such a maniac

"Abolish the IRS"

I voted (in MA) with my seven yr old niece in tow. We then went to the pizzeria around the corner and ordered a large pie to bring home. After 20-25 minutes the pizza was ready and we walked out. A few seconds later, as we're crossing the street, a car crashed into the pizzeria we just left. At the time I thought a bomb had gone off. According to the news later two people were killed, three in critical condition. They haven't released the names of the victims yet, but there's a less than remote chance they're neighbors or people connected to my kids' high school. We got home, ate pizza, and I sat down to be comforted by the sight of Trump & Christie carrying on like Prez & VP. Strange evening.

Sorry, this is neither here nor there, but I needed to share. Carry on.
