I must take 5 minutes to :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: hard at Rubio's Minnesota win:

https://twitter.com/Taniel/status/704896471942963201
he gets a grand 1 more delegate that Cruz, and a whole 3 delegates more than Trump

totally worth getting basically zeroed on delegates from Texas and Alabama:

quote:

First, Texas and Alabama had 20 percent thresholds. Candidates with less than 20 percent of the vote statewide get none of the delegates being allotted statewide, and the same holds true in congressional districts. Rubio appears to have just missed that threshold in Texas, where he got 18 percent, and Alabama, where he got 19 percent.

Second, they both had what's effectively a 2:1 congressional district rule. In addition to those statewide delegates, those states allotted three delegates "proportionally" according to the results in each of their many congressional districts. But there's little true proportionality to be found — in each district, two delegates go to the winner, one goes to the runner-up, and anyone finishing third or below gets nothing. Rubio appears to have gotten third in 33 of 36 districts in Texas and six of seven districts in Alabama.

So while Ted Cruz will come away with about 103 delegates in Texas, Donald Trump will come away with around 49 — and Rubio will win around three. (Some current tallies that show Rubio winning six Texas delegates appear to be due to a counting error by one district.) In Alabama, Trump will win about 36 delegates, Cruz will win about 13 — and Rubio seems to have gotten just one.
Oh seeing Rubio screwed like this almost makes up for Cruz winning Texas

I apparently missed it, but that sure would piss off a lot of the more principled people. If that were to happen I'd write someone in and continue my utter frustration with this lovely election.

The Libertarian Party has never quite been a bastion for principled libertarians, which is part of the reason you hear people talk about "small l vs. big L". As a fellow principled libertarian, I have pretty much given up on achieving anything through the political process. Instead, I do my best through direct action. Maybe one day my future great grandchildren will be able to live in a libertarian moonbase, or maybe create a new, free society that rises from the ashes of atomic devastation.

The good news is a Trump presidency seems highly likely to create the conditions necessary for one or both of those scenarios to occur.

Unless the Republicans nominate Cruz, they've got a basement of around 45-47% of the popular vote. Rubio could easily upset Clinton, I really doubt his odds would be below 40%.

i don't see how you could make that claim at all given the uncertainty of how things are going to play out between now and the convention. nobody's getting 45% if their party is fractured in two

Here's Rubio's post ST Spin:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ut7cG81fz-U

- 65% of voters do not want Trump!
- Donald Trump is a con man
- Donald Trump under performed
- Ted Cruz was supposed to sweep last night, fell short.
- Donald Trump wont disavow the KKK
- Donald Trump will not be our nominee
- We did really well in Virginia - this shows Donald Trump is sinking.
- We will do great in the states moving forward since they are more like Virginia.
- Last night was not supposed to be my night.
- Ted Cruz outspent us and out campaigned us and he came up short.
- I will win Florida.
- The Florida numbers are off! My internal numbers are much better.
- South Florida is where the state will win.
- We will expose Trump!
- Make your clothes in AMERICA, Trump!
- TRUMP U
- Donald has a big presence here...
- BOTTOM LINE - This was supposed to be Ted's night, it was not!
- Our plan is not a convention fight, it's to win this outright.

The FoxNews reporter than said "Sorry, hard break... we gotta go."

I agree that the usual standards go out the window if there's a contested convention. I don't think Hillary is a lock in any case unless she's against Cruz, though.

Later GOP contests matter because many are winner-take-all or quasi-winner-take-all so candidates can still cause big swings in the delegate count.

What kind of drugs are you on to even write this? Third party doesn't automatically equal Libertarian. Trump is the opposite of what Libertarians would want especially those principled enough to have voted Libertarian before. There have been articles that say the only true linking of Trump voters it their statist tendencies which flies in the face of Libertarian values.

Taking over the libertarian party, or another third party with 50-state ballot access, is his only reasonable shot if he's ratfucked by surprise since he wouldn't be able to get ballot access. And libertarians are children who will be easily swept aside or join the Trumpenreich, he would have no trouble whatsoever pulling it off.
