    Super Tuesday #5 that is. However, that's the title on CNN's page. Probably should call it Acela or Northeast Tuesday.

    My projection: Sweep for both Trump and Clinton in popular vote.
    Trump sweeps CT, MD, DE, and PA (17) delegates and gets 10/19 delegates from RI.
    Trump-109
    Kasich-5
    Cruz-4

    I just got back from voting to Make America Great Again in the state of CT and I bought a pizza to celebrate. I was a registered Independent and CT's primaries haven't really mattered in the past. Normally I'm too lazy to vote, but I don't like how Cruz and Kasich are trying to steal the election through unbound delegates. CT is important, because Trump needs 50% to win all the delegates and projects are for that number to be close. What's funny is that you can still vote for Ben Carson or "Uncommitted". I feel like if you take the time to go to the polls and vote "Uncommitted" you should lose your right to vote. What the hell is the point in doing that?

    Clinton might win RI and CT. I would expect her to win by a larger margin than she is in New Haven. New Haven is the 2nd largest city in the state by population.

    Kasich has a new nickname, it's no longer 1/38 Kasich, but 1/43 Kasich. I'm proud to match his win total tonight. This is the first time I've voted for somebody who's either won my state or nationally in anything. Still, nobody who I've ever voted for has ever served office so nobody can blame me for (*)(*)(*)(*).

    Trump, and Shillary did pretty good tonight.

    The three stooges might as well hang it up, and call it quits.

    Uncommitted is a vote AGAINST everyone, as the winner must still take a vote to offset it. Just staying home is a vote FOR everyone, as it's one more vote the winner will not have to offset. Very good thing that some states have this IMO.

    They don't, and he never said they did.
    .......................
    All five states have now been called for Trump, and the margins are large enough that he could sweep nearly every delegate, except in Rhode Island where allocations are highly proportional. Suppose that Trump finishes with 100 of 109 delegates tonight, for instance, not counting any uncommitted delegates in Pennsylvania. That would put him on pace for 1,209 delegates, based on the state-by-state projections that our expert panel issued last month, close enough that he could probably get over the top to 1,237 with uncommitted delegates from Pennsylvania or elsewhere... Trump has made up the ground he lost in states like Wisconsin and Colorado and put himself in the strongest position he’s been in since March 15.

    Cruz might not even 10%. Then Trump will get like 13-14 from RI instead of 10.

    That is why in November I will be voting third party. My vote is against both Trump and Clinton. Besides it lets me cast a vote for whom I like down the ticket. Personally I don't give a darn who wins between those two, Trump or Clinton. But who ever does will do so without my help.

    Is it just me or are most of the young men rooting for Hillary in the background always very gay looking?

    - - - Updated - - -

    MD looks like a clean sweep. RI changes quite a bit depending on whether or not Cruz gets 10%.

    If it comes down to Hillary vs Trump.. it's going to be a "I don't like the other person that is running" kind of vote... or others will just vote 3rd party and help neither of them

    I can't imagine too many places in Fairfield County voting for Sanders. There's simply too many people working in finance here. A lot of towns in this area haven't come in yet.

    I've said this before, it is time to stop all of this nonsense. The primaries are basically over. Sanders was beaten and beaten soundly before the first vote was cast in Iowa. Trump may or may not get to 1237, but he is the only one who has a chance, every other candidate is mathematically eliminated.

    I know around 20% of Republicans hate Trump and hate him probably more than they do Clinton, Obama or the Democrats. I understand why. But for better or worse, own up. He will be the Republican nominee. Continuing with this stop Trump movement after tonight is inane and stupid. It only continues to divide the Republican Party more and more. Probably beyond repair to where the GOP nomination means nothing or about as much as it meant to McCain and Romney.

    Both primaries have gone on long enough.

    The Democratic primary is over, but Cruz is getting the support of a ridiculous amount of unbound delegates. It's going to be tough if Cruz/Kasich work the system enough to get 90% of them. If they can force a 2nd ballot, Trump will not win.

    The republican party has superdelgates, their called "unbound" or "uncommitted". Its a simple fact documented right there in YOUR post ;)

    I wasn't directing it at that specific post, apologies if that was mistaken.

    Sure, there is that outside chance of denying Trump the 1237. But would that be in the best interest of the Republican Party?

    Has Trump dropped out yet? I mean, we all know he was just having fun and was going to drop out after Iowa.
