IMO, Trump should suggest putting together some sort of "citizen volunteer group" to go "patrol" Mormon neighborhoods.

Kasich's strategy seems to be failing:

quote:

When South Dakota's Republican activists convened in Pierre to pick their delegates to the Republican national convention, they got an unexpected visitor.

Merle Madrid, senior aide to Ohio Gov. John Kasich, had flown in from Columbus to make an appeal: If the convention fails to elect front-runner Donald Trump on the first ballot, consider Kasich on the second � even if the state�s Republican voters sent them there to back Trump or Ted Cruz.

Madrid was polite and earnest , but according to interviews with 17 of the state�s 29 delegates, he came up empty.

"Kasich will not get my vote no matter what he does. That ain�t gonna happen," said delegate Allen Unruh, a Sioux Falls chiropractor and tea party activist.

Madrid�s visit to South Dakota on Saturday marked one of the earliest signs that the shadow campaign for the Republican nomination has begun. Kasich and Cruz are scrambling to secure commitments from bound delegates to break off on a second-ballot and vote against Trump. In many cases, that means asking delegates to buck Republican primary voters in the name of settling on a nominee.

The fight will heat up in April, when a slew of states � including Arizona, Colorado and North Dakota � begin selecting their own slate of delegates, using methods ranging from statewide and Congressional district conventions to meetings of state party leaders to county-level votes or caucuses.

But if Madrid�s results are any indication, it�s not Kasich that threatens to steal Trump�s delegates in Cleveland � it�s Cruz.

"I�m not a Kasich fan. I would vote for him over a Democrat, however I think there�s not a lot of difference between him and a Democrat," said Florence Thompson, a delegate from Caputa, S.D. who described herself as a "raving conservative."

Added Dana Randall, South Dakota's national Republican committeeman and another delegate, "I�m not anti John Kasich, but I don�t think [Madrid] swung one vote either way."

South Dakota's delegation is top-heavy with supporters of Cruz, the Texas senator whose ideological purity has resonated in this deeply conservative Midwestern state. Most delegates expect South Dakota to devolve into a slugfest between Cruz and Trump, and Cruz's ultra-conservative identity gives him an early edge.

�As we head toward Cleveland, I think it�s clear that this is going to be a convention unlike any other and states that have perhaps been taken for granted in the past could be delegates that matter a great deal to the candidates,� Madrid said. �The opportunity to spend some time in the state meeting with delegates was worthwhile and could be advantageous down the road.�

He said Kasich�s team is likely to make similar forays into North Dakota or New Mexico with the same goal.

The great thing about being a leader like him is that you don't need to suggest those things, people will just do them themselves.

This is going to be a landslide year and it's because "nothing matters". Trump is a walking meme, and that's great when the meme is fresh and new, but I can see people getting really sick of his shtick in a few more months in a way that fellow trash people like Rush and Hannity haven't had to deal with. Right now he's season 2 of the Big Bang theory, he's going to be season 16 in November as America's knuckles turn white over the trillionth repetition of bazinga.

Politicians insulted each other a whole lot more in the 19th century so it's like going back in that way too. I like a little rough and tumble in my politics, weeds out the chaff that gum up the works and get c-ucked by lobbyists and foreign governments.

If I had to guess, I'd say that the Cruz PAC that put out the ad were specifically looking for this kind of reaction from Trump, and he walked right into their trap.

How come nobody calls Hillary a wonk? She is the wonkiest candidate we've had for a long time.. She's wonky In spades. In fact, this election year will be the year of the wonk v. the schlongmeister.

ED: need an umlaut or 2 for schlongmeister but phoneposting so

Modern family. Technically popular, tons of people watch it, focus tested for every demographic, no one loves it. If only there were a candidate equivalent of Rick and Morty.

If it worked for Paul Ryan, it should work for Hillary Clinton. Just sayin. We are talking politics and PR here, not reality.

Or maybe my poor sense of irony has failed me again. You're ironically wonkposting?

That's a pretty big margin of error, though.

It's a wonderfully predictant poll with a range of Kasich +7.8. ~ Trump +13.8

Perfect thing to base aaaaanything on.

Hint: Pennsylvania is one of the states to the right (along with WV), where every border county went Trump.
