Rubio sounding like more like an evangelical than a moderate from a European viewpoint.
Well, he is. No David Camerons here, I guess maybe Kasich comes close, if Cameron were trying to shut down abortion clinics. "May God strengthen the conservative movement"
Impressed with Sky News, Rubio used the phrase "campaign is suspended" and half a second later it was the caption on the screen. Some fast fingers there.
It's an odd speech, a bit of everything, rowdy crowd pleasing, self-criticism, big vision, church sermon, not quite sure where it's going. Perhaps to end in a rendition of My Way?

Bernie youtube nutter stream is now banging on about widespread voter fraud....And they say only Trump supporters are bonkers...tin foil hats all round.
How many Super Tuesdays can one process have? They really need to rename some of these dates... Mildly Interesting Tuesday, Slightly Less Dull Tuesday, Possibly Close Tuesday?

We know from the Corbynist/Momentum madness that those on the left can be more bonkers than almost anyone else in politics.

I don't think "they" say that. In fact, Bernie-bros were a meme a couple of weeks ago: the kind of idiot lefty young men who use sexist attacks against Clinton like some of Corbyn's fans in the UK Labour race They do say that Trump's platform is vacuous and many of his supporters are violent, which are true

Only because it's been fought this far.
Incidentally I think Sanders has been encouraged to keep going by the fact the Republicans are still going.

Was that really a surprise? I thought security experts were skeptical about the "hack" claims, and social engineering was more likely. The weakest link in computer security is generally flesh and blood.

Kasich accepts gay marriage and climate change so is closest to a Cameroon

If Ed Miliband had been forced to press the flesh in Yorkshire without any embarrassing pudding eating incidents Labour might have been saved from choosing a dud.

It isn't even Tuesday any more....
When I saw Britain's Thursday papers proclaiming America's "Super Tuesday" results, I wondered just how longer the dead tree press can keep going in its current incarnation.

It is the fact it is sooooooo drawn out, with every state having different systems, different rules, and that ultimately many states don't normally have any real say on who gets chosen. Why they can't just vote at the same time?

No surprise here, just thought it was interesting after all this time that we have found out for certain.

There is only one Super Tuesday, the rest are phonies.

Hillary smashing it tonight, doing better than I expected !
Yes though I'm a bit wary of Illinois - the results are heavily from Chicago at the moment, which is where I'd expect her to do best. But her Ohio figures look good everywhere so far.
Question: Sanders gets totally killed by Clinton among African Americans....why?
You would have thought the Sanders message of revolution, overthrowing the establishment, kicking the 1%ers in the nuts, would play well, no? Instead, it seems to be white middle class college kids that are far more excited by this idea, despite the "system" working far better for them.
Kasich shortens dramatically to 6.6 with Betfair, to leap frog Cruz in the betting!
Well neither Cruz nor Trump have any chance at the convention.
CNN calls Ohio for Hillary.
I've noticed Cruz has attacked Trump but he has always said he would support his nomination etc. I think they might do a deal, Roger Stone has said he would be interested in the Supreme Court. Can't see a Trump-Cruz ticket winning. It is complicated, Cruz has really been a drag on Trump considering a lot of Cruz voters' second choice is Trump.
Chicago seems to love Trump.
I am sure Rahm Emmanuel and the Chicago outfit have been stuffing the ballots for HRC in Cook County.
And this is the official end of the Sanders campaign, typically it was over after Iowa and Nevada.
The Democrats come out of their primary almost united, the Republicans still in a nasty civil war.
Winner:Democrats.
has the email thing gone away?
It doesn't matter anymore, look at the sore state of the Republicans. Even with Kasich 1/4 of Republican voters will refuse to vote for their nominee.
They're mistaken. They will vote for them, when push comes to shove. They have to rationalise their choice for somebody else at present, they will be "convinced" by the chosn nominee later.
I am sure Rahm Emmanuel and the Chicago outfit have been stuffing the ballots for HRC in Cook County.
I'm not even talking my book here as I'm greener HRC than Bernie (And thats looking safe now) but there is something seriously odd about the exit polling vs actual results.

Nope, at the convention after the first ballot Trump will lose most of his delegates to the establishment.
Example, the 50 delegates that Trump got in S.Carolina will be filled by the Governor there, at the first ballot they are bound to vote for Trump, at the second ballot they will vote as the Governor pleases.
So if Trump and Cruz don't get a majority of delegates before the convention starts then they both lose.

Nope, that 1/4 takes orders from Trump.
Here is the state of play: If Trump is the nominee then the Kasich-Rubio voters won't vote for him for president. If it's Cruz then the Trump and Kasich voters won't vote for him. If it's Kasich, Trump voters won't vote for him.

Just in any election, the vast majority of Republicans will vote Republican, regardless of nominee, even if they opposed him in the primaries.

Ted Cruz has gone back to Iowa to start to stitch up the now unbound delegates. If it's going to be a robbery, it'll be Cruz, even Lindsey Graham is behind him.

Though the God stuff should be left for Church
Rubio doesn't know what to provide to the public other than God and polish.
No David Camerons here, I guess maybe Kasich comes close, if Cameron were trying to shut down abortion clinics.
"May God strengthen the conservative movement"
Humble to the end.
Anyway, it's only £25, but useful none-the-less.

Better than 99% of the XKCD back-catalogue, even.
But on the other hand, I'll go for description over prescription. I think "alot's" day has nearly dawned. Enough folk use it.
2:1 to Trump
56.9 IL
54.0 MO
62.6 NC
55.9 OH
That's what the polling suggested for HRC looked like btw - she's ~ 500 real delegates ahead now I think, Bernie's gap is too big.
