And he’s got your pretty hate machine firmly in his hands. And you who built that will now learn how to lie even more. Because you do not want to be excommunicated from your pretty hate machine. No. Too much work. You owe people. You withstood the purity tests. You burnt your bridges. You are now a brick in that fucking wall you built. Pass the popcorn, tomorrow the panic starts, because the GOP has no plan, never had a plan, and spent the last 7 years with no plan except HATE. Eat it. All yours.

Yes! I got stuck in full-stop traffic on 94 coming into St. Paul. Lexington and Dale were backed up onto the freeway and not moving. I drove all the way to the Marion exit and doubled back to my house in the W7th neighborhood. There was zero traffic downtown.
That was all caucus traffic?? The only time I ever see backups like that is during the state fair.

I suspect after tonight, it will be “Rubio’s donors abandoning him for Kasich/Cruz.”

It’s all about the delegate count, and Cruz simply isn’t closing the gap with Trump. He’s still down by a wide margin.
Same story with Bernie. He could win OK and VT and it doesn’t help him as Hillary crushes him everywhere else.
By my tally on RCP, Clinton’s gotten at least 314 delegates. Bernie only has managed 122. That’s putting Hillary ahead by a huge margin - Bloomberg has her at 786 to 180 (inclusive of supers).
For the GOP, Trump remains ahead by a wide margin - 180 to 28 for Rubio and 22 for Cruz.

Makes you wonder what the “most liberal” state really is. CA would come up in that conversation a lot, as would, ironically enough, MN.
I can see Rubio and Kasich staying in until March 15, when both Ohio and Florida hold their primaries - which are winner-take-all - and there is something to be said about Trump looking to be at least a little bit damaged by Republican voters. The issue of his associating with those aligned with white supremacy - since the number of times it has taken place is becoming far more than mere coincidence - is something that the other campaigns are going to hold over him like a Sword of Damocles.
Trump’s numbers are significantly down from just a few days ago, and primaries that were originally thought to be easy victories suddenly became competitive. Even though he won the majority of states tonight, the Trump juggernaut has definitely slowed.

Independent of other information, that doesn’t necessarily tell us a lot. Was turnout up? Down?
(Not a knock on you, just pointing out we need more info.)
Down. Virginia had 985,000 votes in 2008; it’s at 760,000 now with 98% in. Georgia had 1,060,000 votes in 2008; it’s at 430,000 in with 57% reporting, which would project to 750,000. Vermont had just over 150,000 votes cast in 2008; it’s at 79,000 with 53% in, which would project to just under 150,000.

Well, if the people that told Rubio he can get the nomination without winning anything are GOP power brokers who really can make this happen at the GOP convention, that would explain Rubio’s otherwise-irrational confidence.
However, GOP power brokers are kidding themselves if they think they can take the nomination away from Trump at the convention and then get Trump backers to fall in line.
Not even their shared hatred of Hillary Clinton would be enough for the Trumpists to forgive something like that.

I’m sure that I’ve mentioned that while both of the shop owners are very conservative, one is especially so, and active in GOP politics. He’s a big Cruz supporter, and we’ve kind of agreed that not to talk politics at the shop is a good idea. One thing we do agree on and have great fun with is Trump. He hates him with a white hot passion. Loved the Jon Oliver piece on him. (surprised the HELL out of me when he started quoting it verbatim to me)

I just do not get the cognitive dissonance it takes to reject Trump as unpalatable and then support Cruz.

He sat. He eagerly awaited the results. I’ll win one of these states right? His advisers all told him that the people would love him. They’d love his humble being the son of Cuban immigrants. Sure, he embellished when he said they fled Castro but no one really checks this stuff. And then his adviser came in with the news that he was on pace to win one state. A smile came over Marco’s face until the adviser shot his hopes down by reminding him it was a state had not gone to the Republican Party in a General Election since Nixon.

Palin really isn’t “in” politics full-time. She’s got a particularly well-developed version of wingnut welfare set up, where she’s got her PAC, her enclosed loop of followers that she solicits by email and Facebook. That she hasn’t stayed on the trail with Trump might be about her busy grifting schedule not meshing with his medicine show.
Also, God knows what her rate for one of those speeches is. Someone may have decided that one round of freeform seizure-poetry was sufficient.

Caucuses, especially not the “first in the nation bellweather” one, take a lot of time and depress voter turnout. Candidates with really passionate supporters benefit from this. Also candidates with supporters who are more likely to have the time off/ability to go spend an hour+ at the caucus site.

Here’s why I don’t feel bad for Marco Rubio at all though. The man is an asshole. The man shot down the Iranian deal without real principles and just did it as a way to make good with the Republican base. He had a chance to be a Republican leader on immigration reform but he was chickenshit so he didn’t show leadership there. He never shows up to committee meetings. He really seems to see the Senate not as a job but as a resume padder. If this is the beginning of the end for Marco Rubio, I say good riddance and hope Florida replaces him with someone worth a damn.

He’s a genius”
I don’t recall the exact phraseology, but that’s pretty darn close. You know you can’t argue with an argument like that, you just can’t. Don’t even try, you’ll only hurt your brain.
