Grandpa was pretty loveable though.
Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?

Cruz has always reminded me of Bill Murray. I keep waiting for him to break character.

Definitely a wider spread on the Democratic side than Hillary would have liked. But I can't say I am surprised.
I think the larger surprise is The Donald's showing. My guess is the establishment Republicans were hoping that the polls were off the mark regarding his lead. Guess not. Also just read that Chris Christie is heading back to New Jersey to 'decide next steps'. My guess is he will be dropping out shortly.

Carly Fiorina Ends Bid For Republican Presidential Nomination : The Two-Way : NPR
Guess she will now have to go back to her previous job: ruining tech companies and cashing in golden parachutes.

Yes, she aborted her campaign before the second trimester ... by our ability to understand Rebel☮American☆Zen☯Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share.

Bernie - 60.0 Hillary - 38.4 And then the DNC allotted the delegates ... From Iowa:
Bernie 21 Hillary 23 From New Hampshire:
Bernie 24 Hillary 9 Current Totals:
Bernie 44 Hillary 394 ... what??? Under what new math does 21+24 = 44 and not 45? And where in the heck did the (394-9-23=) 362 extra delegates for Hillary come from? ANSWER: superdelegates ... Answers - The Most Trusted Place for Answering Life's Questions
quote: The system is rigged and the establishment is trying to "fix" the election ... Then there is the uncontestably biased Chair of DNC Debbie Wassserman Schultz, who -- it just happens -- was campaign co-chair for Hillary Clinton's 2008 unsuccessful run for President ... who tried to have a short debate season with minimum debates all held before the first primary and all poorly advertised. There has been much abuse here, too much bias and hi-jinks more typical of republicans. So now we have more "unsanctioned" debates because of complaints, and now dirty tricks ... like the "push poll" in Nevada: I Just Got "Push Polled" by Hillary Clinton's Nevada Campaign - Nolan Dalla
quote: The questions are thinly veiled attacks on Bernie Sanders rather than an unbiased opinion poll that it pretends to be. This from the candidate that complained of "artful" smear campaigns. National polls now put Bernie and Hillary neck and neck -- she is running scared.

Hi, RAZD.
RAZD writes: There has been much abuse here, too much bias and hi-jinks more typical of republicans. So, this is the first year I've really closely followed the primaries and tried to understand the system, so maybe I don't know the history here. As much as I disagree with Republicans on social issues, I have to say that the GOP's nomination apparatus is far superior. It seems like the DNC has overthought every aspect of the primary system. Counting votes should be just about the least complicated thing human civilization has ever done, yet somehow the DNC managed to make it obscure and convoluted to the point that I don't even have the will power to look it up. Has it always worked this way?-Blue Jay, Ph.D.* *Yeah, it's real Darwin loves you.

...{deletia}... From New Hampshire: Bernie 24Hillary 9 ...{more deletia}... are you sure that was right? I saw 13 and 9, not 24 and 9. There were 8 suprdelegates of which 6 were already committed to Hillary. At that time the 2 undecided could have gone either way, making it anywhere from 15-15 to 13-17. ??? And then today RCP has this different count: realclearpolitics.com Edited by xongsmith, : Another country heard from- xongsmith, 5.7d

And I repeat my previous statement that counting votes should be the single least complicated thing human civilization has ever had to do.

are you sure that was right? I saw 13 and 9, not 24 and 9. No I'm not sure, I've seen it both ways, and I can't find a definative tabulation - listing results from votes separate from superdels. Seems the media is ... inadequate... But the point remains that Hillary is benefitting from establishment superdels. by our ability to understand Rebel☮American☆Zen☯Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share.
