"They have my son," Jeb declares.

"The Trump appears more orange than we'd hoped." Kasich says.

"It's said the boy's centipede killed a dozen men an as many horses." Rham sighs.

Clinton speaks up. "Is it true that both GOP brothers have taken up against us?" "Cruz captured, his army scattered, it's a catastrophe. Perhaps, we should sue for peace."

Walker slaps his goblet, sending it into shards on the floor. "There is your peace. Kasich saw to that when he saw to stay in the race. You'll have an easier time bringing The Donald to the table, than you will Ben Carson's head. He's winning, in case you hadn't noticed."

"We should have a brokered convention," Lord Ryan declares, " whatever it takes.

"THEY HAVE MY CANDIDATE!" Jeb shouts. Then, "Get out, all of you."

They rise to leave, Trump among them. "Not you," Jeb says.

Trump sits back down, fumbling for his wine glass. "Why me?" he says, "Why not a....popular candidate?"

Jeb scowls. "Because you are my successor. You will go to Washington, and bring those scum to heal. That lying Cruz, that sniveling Kasich, that cockless wonder Rubio..."

Donald sighs. "I know. Polls. Rumors. Tabloids."

It should be noted that boys town was and still is a catholic-run institution for kids with behavioral issues or kids sent there by court order. Basically, there's a strong chance that (assuming the truth behind the GHWB thing, quite a leap) the victims had previously been abused in similar fashion by parents or relatives before being abused by politicians

Trump might do well in a contested convention just because he has so much experience bribing people.

The entire Republican establishment strategy at this point is to try to use rules lawyering and backroom chicanery to beat the extremely litigious man who wrote The Art of the Deal.

I can't promise it will live up to the hype, but I tried my best.

I did the same thing, but blue is Trump, Cruz is (big surprise) puke yellow, Rubio's red, and Kasich is teal. Cool graph, I wonder how Colorado would have gone.

"Ser? My lady?" said Ivanka. "Is a "Ser? My lady?" said Ivanka. "Is a undecided man an outlaw?"

"More or less," Melania answered.

the Pope disagreed. "More less than more. There are many sorts of voters, just as there are many sorts of birds. Brothers march with brothers, sons with fathers, friends with friends. They've heard the songs and stories, so they go off with eager hearts, dreaming of the wonders they will see, of the wealth and glory they will win. Elections seem a fine adventure, the greatest most of them will ever know.

"Then they get a taste of campaigns".

"For some, that one taste is enough to break them. Others go on for years, until they lose count of all the elections they have fought in, but even a man who has survived a hundred election can break in his hundred-and-first. Brothers watch their brothers die, fathers lose their sons, friends see their friends trying to hold their entrails in after they've been gutted by an axe.

"They see the lord who led them there cut down, and some other lord shouts that they are his now. They take a wound, and when that's still half-healed they take another. There is never enough to eat, their votes fall to pieces from the marching, their canvassing is torn and rotting, and half of them are making GBS threads in their breeches from drinking bad media.

"If they want new boots or a warmer cloak or maybe a rusted iron halfhelm, they need to take them from a corpse, and before long they are stealing from the living too, from the smallfolk whose lands they're electioning in, men very like the men they used to be. They slaughter their news and steal their polls, and from there it's just a short step to carrying off their opinions too. And one day they look around and realize all their friends and kin are gone, that they are electioning beside strangers beneath a banner that they hardly recognize. They don't know where they are or how to get back home and the lord they're electioning for does not know their names, yet here he comes, shouting for them to form up, to make a line with their spears and scythes and sharpened hoes, to stand their ground. And the knights come down on them, faceless men clad all in steel, and the iron thunder of their charge seems to fill the world . . .

"And the voter breaks.

"He turns and runs, or crawls off afterward over the corpses of the slain, or steals away in the black of night, and he finds someplace to hide. All thought of home is gone by then, and kings and lords and gods mean less to him than a haunch of spoiled meat that will let him live another day, or a skin of bad wine that might drown his fear for a few hours. The undecided man lives from day to day, from meal to meal, more beast than man. Lady Melania is not wrong. In times like these, the traveler must beware of undecided men, and fear them . . . but he should pity them as well."

When Trump was finished a profound silence fell upon their little band. Melania could hear the wind rustling through a clump of pussywillows, and farther off the faint cry of a loon. She could hear Narrative panting softly as he loped along beside the front runner and his donkey, tongue lolling from his mouth. The quiet stretched and stretched, until finally she said, "How old were you when they marched you off to war?"

"Why, no older than your boy," Trump replied. "Too young for such, in truth, but my brothers were all going, and I would not be left behind. Fred said I could be his squire, though Fred was no knight, only a potboy armed with a kitchen knife he'd stolen from the inn. He died in Vegas, was hanged for rape."

"The War of the '96?" asked Christie.

"So they called it, though I never saw a king, nor earned a penny."

"Mathematically, Trump Is On Pace To Erase His Ohio Loss
Guess what? Trump could make up for all 66 delegates he lost in Ohio with huge delegate margins in Illinois and Missouri. In Missouri, Trump is clinging to a lead of just 2,400 votes, but IF things continue as they are, Trump will capture 47 of Missouri’s delegates to just five for Cruz. And in Illinois, where Trump is winning about 40 percent of the vote, he could win all but a handful of congressional districts, giving him perhaps 60 of the state’s 69 delegates. Wow."

It's one thing to agree that a legislator or television/radio guy would have the time to abuse children, and another to agree that the POTUS would. There's not much of a question on motive or desire - you have to be a pretty hosed up person to get into politics these days, or at least to remain in politics - but time is probably a limiting factor. A ring operating out of the WH? Sure, Quayle was probably in on it.

Now, when I was a baby, Momma named me after the great Civil War hero, General Nathan Bedford Forrest... She said we was related to him in some way. And, what he did was, he started up this club called the Ku Klux Klan. They'd all dress up in their robes and their bedsheets and act like a bunch of ghosts or spooks or something. They'd even put bedsheets on their horses and ride around. And anyway, that's how I got my name. Forrest Trump. Momma said that the Forrest part was to remind me that sometimes we all do things that, well, just don't make no sense.

You know what they say about guys with a small delegate total?

You can't trust 'em!

But seriously, it's kind of funny after how much Ohio was talked up as critical for Trump's chances to win that he may have made up the difference elsewhere by running up the score in the other states. I've got a feeling that'll take a lot of pundit-types by surprise if Trump stays on trajectory to score a majority.
