I love how the republican party of Florida has "knee-capped" the chances of Marco Rubio, who otherwise would be sailing to the nomination right now with his 2 primary wins.

I think this Ben Carson thing will be over soon ala Sarah Palin and Chris Christie. Like Palin, he brought Carson out for an extra Florida push and will toss him aside after next week. He knows he doesn't need Carson out there talking about grain silo's dragging him down the rest of the election season. Carson will be involved in a Trump presidency probably, but not as VP and probably in a position that gives him as little face-time with the media as possible.

I think throughout the RCP history of the 2016 race, Ted Cruz has polled in double digits once in NJ and NY. Yeah, never gonna happen.

She should have, but Jennifer Rubin has always been straight-up delusional, so I have no doubt that she meant what she said.

In the Republican primary, you have a candidate who will do anything, say anything, attack anyone to advance his political chances, and then you have the frontrunner candidate Donald Trump.

1) no, because lewandowski is a public figure and they would have to prove "malicious disregard for the truth" against which "it was a confusing situation and I reported what I saw" would be a successful defense
2) it almost certainly was lewandowski and breitbart is rolling over out of cowardice, but since fields is pressing charges we'll find out!

If the footage proves anything it's that Trump is oblivious to the entire thing. This is therefore a non-issue.

If your issue is that we don't talk about POC issues enough as a nation then I don't think you'll find a ton of complaints, and if your issue with trans activism is that it minimizes the role transpeople of color have historically played in the LGBT movement then it's certainly a complaint I've heard before, and it would be pretty far out of my sphere to think of it as a bad complaint.

I don't even speak your language. I know black people and white people. I don't know any "POCs".

The Deal is Made: Kasich to Ohio, Rubio to Florida, Cruz Out of Both.

quote:

Let’s review shall we.

Jeb Bush has a private meeting with Kasich, Cruz, and Rubio.

Cruz’s campaign, after a lot of bluster about going all in in Florida admits it was all a head fake. They had one event scheduled for today with Sean Hannity in Orlando that was previously scheduled and will be nationally focused, not Florida focused. Then Cruz is bailing on Florida. For the Rubio folks complaining, I’m told the campaign did try to make adjustments, but couldn’t for reasons not in the campaign’s control.

Cruz’s campaign takes down its Florida ads. The Cruz Super PACs follow suit.

Marco Rubio revs up his Florida presence and is nowhere to be found in Illinois, Missouri, and North Carolina.

The Cruz campaign redirects all its resources to those three states, with Cruz rallies, ad buys, GOTV etc.

Now Rubio’s spokesman goes on national television and says Rubio supporters should vote for John Kasich in Ohio.

Kasich is going all in in Ohio and ceding Illinois, Missouri, and North Carolina to Cruz. In fact, Kasich suddenly has no events in Illinois, and only one event in Pennsylvania after the Ohio primary.

In other words, Kasich is now only campaigning in Ohio; Rubio is only campaigning in Florida; and Cruz is avoiding events in Florida and Ohio.

There is clearly a plan to stop Trump.

Now National Review is coming out with an endorsement of Cruz.
