A succinct way to describe Wisconsin's style of delegate allocation is that margins don't matter. Just who wins the state and who wins each district.

"That's what they all say!"
New poll today.

Survey USA Poll: California Republican Primary performed 3-30 to 4-3. 356 likely Republican voters. 5.3% MOE.

Trump-40%
Cruz-32%
Kasich-17%


Nothing too surprising, similar results to RCP average.


I don't live in CA, but my guess, based on having played a lot of Grand Theft Auto V lately:

Kasich will win the "Michael" parts of the state.
Cruz will win the "Franklin" places.
Donald Trump will do well in areas that are very "Trevor".

a 7-8 point win in California for Trump is enough to win most delegates at large there.

Would be a big deal and probably necessary for 1237

Of course there is, but I never said there should be international sanctions on Mexico. You said that it is hard for nation-states to place barriers on the international movement of capital, and I brought up sanctions to show that that's not true.

Actually the political cost to sustain the Iranian sanctions have being enormous and is contingent on not just the US but the EU and also Russia/China/Arab countries around it signing on and maintain said sanctions for a few years. The big differences is that without other countries signing onto whatever you are proposing it's trivial to evade your bans by going through intermediaries (again, I bring up the example of some guy who sends $50 to his friend in Jamaica who charges $2.50 and sends the rest to Mexico). There's also the fact that you aren't doing the sort of blanket ban on forbidding business/transfer of funds to Iranian entities so there's a lot of room to disguise remittances in the form of legitimate business transactions. While it's true you can crack down on those to some extent all you are really doing is driving up cost of transfers by whatever the rate for laundering money is.

Like the Iranian sanctions are a really bad analogue for your argument.

quote:

They made do. The West has become very good at this. Mexican remittances are on the whole the same type of problem. Access can be denied if the thinking is creative enough.


Sure, now tell me how much success the US have had in stop the laundering of drug money

Also I found out my guardian is one of those republicans that is glad Ted Cruz is trying to ratfuck Trump out of votes and believes that if Trump is the nominee it will be the death of the party but doesnt think ittl be a big deal if trump is ratfucked out of it.

I mean, trump's alternative is that women who get abortions should face whatever the legal penalty for murder is, up to and including the death penalty (?) in states that offer the death penalty, if roe v wade can be over turned. so being forced to die from pregnancy complications is kind of splitting hairs over your specific terms of fatality

Trump doesn't believe in that, he's pandering to idiots (religious conservatives) and took the republican stance to the logical conclusion and everyone blew up because he exposed what the Republican Party actually believes instead of whistling it. Cruz actually believes in that poo poo.

it's so weirdly inconsistent because when he says things that are the logical conclusion of other conservative stances (build a wall across the border, ban muslims from America) he's heralded as the One True Conservative and every other GoP candidate trips all over their dick trying to play catch-up, but when he says that women who have abortions should be punished, somehow that's the thing that's unforgivable and even trump has to release 5 further statements clarifying that whoops he didn't really mean that.

you know he has to be mega pissed that he could call Mexican immigrants drug-dealing rapists but his comments on abortion aren't immediately met with the most glowing praise
