    To be honest what I really dream of is for everyone to stay home and send a clear message.

    A Trump vs. Hillary ticket will be entertaining as all get out because neither one of them can keep a cool head in the face of adversity so it's literally going to be a schoolyard brawl. Hillary's head is going to explode because Trump is going to hit her on points nobody else dare too. And well Trump, he just has to have the last word lol.

    But wouldn't it be (*)(*)(*)(*)ing hilarious if Nov.5th rolled around and NOBODY voted lol? To be honest I feel something that dramatic is what it will eventually take for the government to stop (*)(*)(*)(*)ing with us and remind them they work for us, and that they are not there to put their personal gain first on the list of priorities.

    No they don't.
    No they aren't
    No it isn't.

    Super Delegates are not the same thing as "uncommitted or unbound" delegates.

    I wonder how Cruz with use his special "mathematics" to excuse this one?

    Am I the only one who is annoyed by his BS when it comes to that? The crap he spews is more like an insult thinking that Americans are stupid enough to believe "losing is winning" .

    Said he's off to spend the week with Bobby Knight in Indiana. What a pair that is. I wonder if he will throw chairs at the protesters.

    "it does not matter that Trump has won 20 states so far, because I have won 10 and in my head those 10 mean much more than 20 and it should to you too. It proves that I am the only person who could theoretically really beat Trump. Me being in second place shows America does not want Trump, it proves I am really winning even if I am losing. How does that not make sense? "

    - Ted Cruz

    - - - Updated - - -

    I would laugh so hard id probably pee a lil bit if that happened. One thing is for sure they better make sure Bobby Knight is not in the front of the line when they try to stop traffic, he is definitely someone you do not want to try and hold up lol.

    Fairfield, Norwalk, Newtown, Waterbury, and New Britain should all favor Clinton, but according to CNN they aren't in yet. They will probably put her over the top in CT. Kasich is winning New Canaan and Darien which are very white and are the two wealthiest towns in the state. Lots of Wall Street guys live there so naturally Bernie is getting his clocked clean in those towns as well.

    This puts Trump at 944 with a possible 19 more he can add. Indiana is close with Trump holding a 6 point lead over Cruz. How many of the 57 delegates there is hard to figure who will end up with what. Nebraska and West Virginia follow a week after. No polling for Nebraska, 36 delegates. But Trump is up by 20 in West Virginia 34 and possibly could add all 34. I figure after Indiana, Nebraska and West Virginia Trump will be around 200 delegates short.

    Oregon and Washington are proportional, 62 delegates between them. Then comes the June 7th primaries. 303 delegates available on June 7. New Mexico's 24 delegates are proportional. Montana, 27, South Dakota 29 and New Jersey 51 are winner take all and California is winner take all via congressional district.

    The less people vote the happier the government is. What it would take is some third party receiving a huge amount of votes. You got to be kidding me when the two major parties are offering candidates with a 28% and 35% favorability rating. Over 60% of all Americans dislike both candidates. Trump vs. Clinton is an example of the utter failure of our two party system. It a prime example of neither party listening to the American people. Both parties just want it their way and no one else's.

    LOL @ Trump caring "what happens to the U.S." He cares about Trump. Period.

    But you meant to type "Bernie Sanders," didn't you?

    One thing I got a big laugh out of from Trump tonight:

    The idea that he thinks he can carry New York in the General election.

    Not a chance of that happening. NONE.

    Add the "Trump is going to win New York in 2016" narrative to hilarious delusions like the "Romney Landslide in 2012".

    But to Trump's supporters--keep drinking that kool aid.

    Trump winning NY in the General? :roflol:

    Bernie cares, but I hate his tax plan. Higher taxes or an egotist? Hm, I'd have to settle for higher taxation. Bernie would be a one-term president, and come 2020 we can have a better candidate.

    As far as changing politics in America though, Bernie Sanders has had the most impact. Bernie Sanders is to Far-Leftism, what Ron Paul was to the Libertarian group. But since the Left is far more tribal by nature, I think it's going to actually hold.

    So Hillary also has a high probability of being a one-term president. Normally, the Democrats wouldn't run anyone but the pres for re-election, but if Hillary beats Trump and the GOP rebounds, Hillary will likely still have her poor approval numbers(unless she does a great job) while the GOP will be significantly interested in taking the WH.

    In the end, it may be Bernie Sanders who lost the battle, but won the war for the immediate future of America and the Democratic Party.

    THE MATH AFTER TONIGHT

    Trump now has 950 pledged delegates.

    He needs 287 more. There are 627 left. So he needs significantly less than 50% of remaining delegates - and that does not count the approximately 200 unpledged delegates who can vote as they wish.

    This election belongs to Trump.

    But, we can listen to Cruz explain how Trump can't possibly win and that because he got 1 of 119 he somehow won.

    :roflol:
