Oh No, The New Awesome Primary Thread

That's understandable. It was in East New Jersey, Iran.

Discredit?How about reflection.

It is way too early for sure, but the rumblings have started to edge towards serious discussion by at least some republican establishment types.If Trump wins enough primary delegates to take the nomination prior to the republican convention watch for republican establishment pols to, in essence, boycott the convention. This is potentially 3rd party stuff. Real, actual, effective 3rd party stuff. If the republican establishment leaves home they will not give up politics but unfurl a new banner with, potentially, some very powerful national and state players in their new party cadre.The next 10-20 years of american domestic politics would become very interesting indeed. Reminiscent of the Federalist-Whig-Republican mashup of the first half of the 1800's? Republicans to flee convention?

Generally, I wouldn't stand between a man and national fame and fortune but in this case Moose is too valuable to us here. I don't think we should give him up so easily.The Jeffersonian Party?

Hillary - 49.9
Bernie - 49.5Ted - 27.7
Donald - 24.3
Marco - 23.1The only unexpected was Marco Rubio finishing such a strong 3rd nearly overtaking Trump. The Republican establishment may have found their viable candidate.Neck-to-neck horse race for Hillary and Bernie will make a good show for the Democrats.On to New Hampshire next Tuesday Feb 9.

Bernie - 60.0
Hillary - 38.4Donald - 35.1
John - 15.9
Ted - 11.6
Jeb - 11.0
Marco - 11.0On to South Carolina with a side note on Nevada.

Bush 3, The Heir Apparent, apparently isn't.After spending heavily in So. Carolina, then running out of funds in the final week, he has folded his campaign.

Hours slaving over a hot internet. All my hard work has come to naught. I am feeling so low.Nobody knows the trouble I seen.
Nobody knows my sorrow.

We interrupt this thread for a important announcement of actual on-topic news.In the South Carolina Primary:Hillary 73.5%
Bernie 26.0%The moderate and conservative democrats turned out quite heavily for Hillary leaving Bernie out in the cold.Interesting to me that in the S. Car primaries there were a total of about 367,000 votes cast to the Dems and about 738,000 to the Reps.Super Tuesday March 1:Alabama
Alaska (Reps only)
Am Samoa
Arkansas
Colorado
Georgia
Massachusetts
Minnesota
Oklahoma
Tennessee
Texas
Vermont
Virginia
Ex-patriots abroad (Dems only)We now return you to your regular squabbling already in progress.Edited by AZPaul3, : titleEdited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.

Super Tuesday is Hillary time.On the other side it is also the time the entire country breathes a collective sigh of relief or collectively shits in its pants.I'm buying shares in Kimberly-Clark.Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.

So far, 6:30 am Eastern 3/2/16. Minor changes as late precincts report.Hillary: 7 states, 544 delegates (total delegates 997 of 2383 for nomination)
Bernie: 4 states, 349 (633)Donald: 7 states, 285 delegates (total delegates 488 of 1237)
Ted: 2 states, 161 (305)
Marco: 1 state, 87 (158)Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.Edited by AZPaul3, : update

I'm not sure but I think the rest of the delegates go to the Democrat's convention for Hillary.

3/16 - 1 am EasternDonald - 621 delegates pledged
Ted - 395
Marco - 168
John - 138Marco Rubio has dropped out of the race after losing his home state, Florida.
John Kasich won his home state, Ohio, but trails the delegate count badly.
Donald Trump now has more than half the 1237 delegates needed for nomination already pledged to him.Hillary - 1094 pledged with another 467 super delegates in support
Bernie - 774 pledged with 26 supers in supportAt 1561 pledged and support delegates Hillary now has more than half the 2382 delegates needed for nomination.With the Democrat leadership fully on board, barring a Bernie-led miracle (2405 delegates still to be selected), Hillary will win the Democratic Party nomination.The Republican leadership, however, is not so well enamored of their lead candidate and are, so rumor has it, maneuvering (1136 delegates still to be selected) to prevent a first ballot win at the convention thus releasing the majority of delegates from their pledges to specific candidates and into a brokered convention.This is gonna be fun.Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.

Are you trying to say that the majority of the Muslim population is made up of normal human kinda people?Well, who'da thunk.
