Arguing the affirmative stance is Celia: He is 77, and that is pretty old. Republicans are sending out some whipper snapper named Carl Pace to do jumping jacks or some…

By now everyone has seen this viral video of Ben Carson toppling out of the back of the GOP clown car and wondering around dazed on a highway for a…

It isn't about "swing voters" and soccer moms. It isn't about how many electoral votes Florida has and getting to 270. And it isn't about what Wolf Blitzer thinks. Those kinds of calculations are ancient history. That's the Polish Calvary lined up against the mechanized Wehrmacht at Krojanty. If you want to know how a transparent fraud like Trump can make it to the White House, look at what he did to Jeb Bush and ask yourself if the same things can work against Hillary Clinton. This is from Rolling Stone. As you read substitute "Clinton" for "Bush"

Every knee will bend. From Bill Kristol and Ben du Pont to Lacey Lafferty and David Duke. They will welcome "Trump the Liberator" and the very suggestion that they were ever anything other than Trump die-hards will be scornfully ridiculed. I will allow the Rude Pundit to explain

Whether or not Bernie can change the Democratic Party will come down to follow through. We can't know the future, and so it is pointless to try and game plan what Sanders may mean to the Party five, ten, or even twenty years from now. Instead, we can look at the facts as they stand today. Many are doing that and digging into their pockets to support Sanders in spite of the long odds of success. Why is that? I can't say it any better than Booman said it.

About 50 people attended, and give them credit. It can take a willing suspension of disbelief to back a Republican candidate for governor, considering there are 126,000 more Democratic than Republican voters and there has not been a Republican governor elected since 1988, while the voters went with a Democratic streak of Tom Carper, Ruth Ann Minner and Jack Markell. Bonini nevertheless told the crowd the race was winnable, arguing that Delaware is moving in the wrong direction and his campaign can put together a coalition of Republicans, unaffiliated voters and 30,000 to 50,000 persuadable Democrats to vote for him to try something different. "The here-and-now needs some serious change. We need to lower taxes across the board, we need to reform regulations, the things we always talk about. You know why we talk about those things? Because they've never not worked," Bonini said.

Except...They've never worked, and I'd love for Bonini to collect my standing $50.00 bet that that lowering taxes and cutting regulations has ever worked, but I know my $50.00 is more safe than a side of Broccoli on Colin's lunch plate.

We are at the point in the campaign where everyone decides that the nomination is going to the guy in front of the pack, and there is no need to antagonize that person who is going to be a big shot-caller in the party, so they drop out. Except they aren't. Trump isn't for obvious reasons. He is going to be the nominee. Cruz isn't because he is going to win Texas and if only Rubio would drop out, he'd have a clear shot at beating Trump. (Perhaps at the convention < - Best Case Scenario) Yes... I do think Cruz is narcissistic enough to blow up the GOP convention. It is the only thing I like about him. Rubio isn't because if only Cruz would drop out, he'd have a clear shot at Trump and although the primary voters don't like him, the billionaires who propped up Jeb! do. Kasich isn't because he is now running for the VP spot. Carson isn't because all these books aren't going to sell themselves. The revised standings will be revised in about 200 days when we get to the convention:

20% of Trump Supporters reject the Emancipation Proclamation. Another 17% "aren't sure" if freeing the slaves was a good idea. That is how big the stakes are in this election.…
