Why couldn't someone be unemployed for a hundred years or more? Times are tough.
And the person to blame is clearly Barack Hussein Obama and his refusal to outlaw banking in anything but silver.

Cruz vs. Trump in a brokered convention is like the dream scenario.
Don't know why you people start freaking out every time Cruz starts to win in a state.

He and LePaige are both idiots. So... Makes sense.

She won't win, but if she can do better than getting beaten by 50 points a la 2008, then that's good. Same with Nebraska. Get above 40% and that limits Bernie's opportunities to net delegates.
Doesn't really matter, though. Both of those states will be wiped out by her win in Louisiana later today.
I might have to do it now
They will do it no matter what.
EXACTLY. And, Kasich is picking up a little (supposedly in Kansas) which is an opportunity to split delegates even further.

Bernie's delegate advisers should be the first to go if his grand revolution succeeds.
Bernie has spent 20% of his current ad budget in Kansas and Nebraska! Together, they're worth 58 delegates. I mean, I get he has to do something somewhere, and that's probably his best shot, but some of that money should have been thrown at Texas or freaking Tennessee where he could have actually mitigated some of the delegate advantages Hillary has.

Cruz is more of a religious nut than Trump. While I think he'd be easier to be, he feels more destructive if he somehow wins.

Looks like a clean sweep for Ted today. #BidenIs45
My caucus doesn't start till 6, but my grandparents went this morning. There was one caucus for their entire county lol. IDK how the delegates at the county level translate to the 25 for Nebraska on the national level, but they said the split was 21 delegates for Bernie and 19 for Hillary.
Oh. Oh my god.

Other than losing money on my shares, I'll be okay with this.

Watching the crowd reaction to Rubio at CPAC says to me that Trump made the right call to cancel. Not sure I'll ever get over the "Little Marco" thing. It's so good. Waiting for Trump to make fun of his 3" heels at the next debate. Seriously. Don't know why he's let that slide for so long.
I like how Trump rallies have becoming Trump ranting about all his wins, on top of the old standard of talking about his awesome poll numbers. Also shitting on Sanders for being done. Not for the right reason, but still funny. This is an aside, but I really do respect his mostly scriptless and casual speaking style. Hardly "Presidential" but it's at least different. No teleprompter jokes for him!
Seeing that maybe Cruz has recovered in some of the more rural states now means Trump peaked there at exactly the right time. Enough for notable Super Tuesday wins and to move the calendar ahead where Cruz will struggle more.
Concerned that certain supporters will take Sanders wins today in rural, white states out of context and quite a new wave of "you're forgetting the reality of the situation."

I mostly lurk here, but I personally think that any other year, Cruz would be a great person to run against. However, in a year where Donald Trump is openly saying the things that Cruz is smart enough to hide, Trump's the guy who has the ability to flip the Senate and maybe even the House blue.
Cruz's candidacy won't be so bad as that, though it probably gives the Democratic party the presidency. Plus, Cruz actually is building a campaign network on the ground that he can deploy against Clinton in the GE. Trump is doing whatever Trump does, but whatever he does is definitely not anything like long-term planning.

I should probably make a thread for all those who want to continue The Revolution after Bernie sells his soul to Hillary and her corporate overlords. With real candidates who will stand up to the establishment like Gloria La Riva, Alyson Kennedy, Mimi Soltysik Monica Moorehead, Rod Silva, and Elijah Manley.
But NOT any of these sell-out candidates.

How dare you forget Two Corinthians. Trump loves Jesus. Jesus is YUGE for him. Wall idea? Straight from the Bible: Wall of Jericho.
Unfortunately, I don't know how the Delegate Equivalents work in Nebraska. I'm not sure if that's a good result for Hillary or not without knowing where we're talking about. However, those types of numbers, translated state wide, would help make sure she doesn't get blown out.

I doubt the debate has much to do with it.
I can't believe Cruz is gonna win Maine too.

This reporter on MSNBC in his puffy gay vest, can give me my birthday present. Dude is fine.
i can't believe Cruz is going to be our next president. :/ I think he's my most disliked out of all of them.
Agreed-- trump's utter lack of any organization at all seems to be the bigger factor.
Not sure how he won Nevada though.
Nevada was always an obvious candidate for an outlier given his association with casinos
If he had lost Nevada maybe that would have convinced him he needs to organize for caucuses though

With almost no time between primaries, I doubt momentum counts for anything at this point.

After what happened to Trump in Oklahoma, Alaska, and Minnesota, Cruz doing very well today was to be expected. Closed primaries hurt Trump and he doesn't have the organization to win caucuses. Unless he's doing extremely poorly and missing thresholds it's not a big deal though.

These Kansas lines on CNN are crazy
Cruz always does well at Caucus's plus better gotv than the rest
or Gov. Brownback's endorsement hurt Rubio in Kansas and voters were like NOPE

Not based on today. Delegate total will be roughly flat. It's proportional.
Yeah, I still can't figure this out. Longest primary possible is best, and the chance to make Trump supporters stay home/vote 3rd party - why wouldn't you want that?

Only if we're very very very good boys and girls.
But we're really not on track atm. Trump could conceivably just take the delegates he needs outright.
Still, I could definitely see it happening if the anti-Trump vote actually manages to coalesce around a single candidate in time.
