If you're not a shortsighted tribal simpleton, the degradation of democracy should worry you. Dems will probably win this presidential election, but not all of them. I'd rather not have one of our only two political parties nominating candidates based on what their donors want.

Then perhaps Republicans should stop catering to the lowest common denominator in their base.

If you're looking for people who would miss the current incarnation of the Republican Party if it dropped off the face of the Earth, you're going to be looking for a while. Me, I'd rather vote for one of two people who were at least interested in governing rather than having one party that is and one party that's going to burn everything down and piss on the ashes.

If we are riding a horse named narrative late April is all Trump. He's on track to getting most or all of NY's delegates and will most likely win big in the NE states. That's 267 delegates, most will go his way.

Cruz won't get another victory until maybe Indiana or Nebraska.

It won't be easy but Trump is still the only one able to reach the magic number - after late April it will become mathematically impossible for Cruz to win clean.

Cruz has Nebraska in the bag. Indiana is a tough sell because while Parks & Rec has shown me how midwesternish the state is, it's surrounded on all sides by Trump states. And I'm counting Ohio as a Trump state if Kasich not in the race. Just some rough math though with my best guesses shows Trump coming to the convention with somewhere between 1175 and 1225 delegates, especially with Cruz behind the scenes stealing delegates. I think at this point there is at worst a 50/50 shot at a GOP contested convention.

Trump allegation? Hearsay? Third-party quotation? Of the day.

quote:

This case had originated in part from one employee, who told the government that he was instructed to mark rental applications from blacks with the letter “C” for “colored,” and that “he did this every time a black person applied for an apartment,” according to an affidavit from Goldweber. The employee said he didn’t want to be identified in the case because “he was afraid that the Trumps would have him ‘knocked off,’ or words to that effect, because he told me about their allegedly discriminatory practices,” according to the affidavit.

Actually the insecure masculinity of Trump and his supporters and their blatant compensation is much more revealing.

He actually did also mention Cruz today, saying that his policies were just as "draconian" as Trump's.
