Nate goes back to being an obnoxious idiot as soon as there's the smallest glimmer of hope he was right about Trump.
So this is still one of those rigged reality shows where everyone knows Rubio will be the nominee right? lol.
I gave up a few days ago.
The only thing I do now is laughing at America and seeing how fucked a lot of things are over there.
He will drive his truck around to all 50 states until you say he's a winner.

Oh is that why the Democratic side has been so damn slow.
Hey now, some of us have to live it.

So far the only genuinely surprising thing about tonight is the margin of Cruz's victory in Kansas, which is impressive no doubt, but reading what Nate Silver is writing about tonight just makes me think he was clueless coming in. The results tonight follow what happened in caucuses and closed primaries on Super Tuesday, it's not a new narrative.
Well unless Trump bombs in LA.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
It shouldn't have been a surprise. Kansas may be thr most conservative state in thr nation, which matches Cruz completely. Plus, it's a caucus, which for some reason seem slanted toward Cruz.
I was going to ask you other than Rubio, who else. But I remember poor Jeb
That's nothing, he's currently destroying the entire Republican Party.

Cruz winning Maine is a big shock. Its not a state with a lot of evangelicals and Santorum / Huckabee did really badly there. Before this, Cruz's results had tracked theirs pretty closely.

Yeah that is what I find to be a bit odd. You'd think he'd try and focus on a new line of attack seeing as how he's fallen behind. I actually saw an ad of his on TV and it was just a campaign finance ad. That was it, no message or anything else.
It's an important issue but I don't think it's one you run on like this

Trump is better to face in the general. Those debates vs. Hillary are gonna be so glorious.

It's a rural caucus state. I wish I had posted my expectations because Cruz winning it is not a surprise to me. Alaska is not heavily evangelical either.

I should hope not considering the polls close at 9:00.

Am I missing something in regards to Maine? They've had like two counties come in per The Guardian.
Must be an error.

Hopefully this primary cycle will finally end Silver's reputation as some sort of statistical wizard. He's a talented writer but for the most part his "incredible" predictions haven't really been that spectacular. Calling states the day of a presidential election just isn't that hard unless there is systematic error in the polls. Most of his attempts outside of presidential (general) elections just haven't been that hot. Alas, a pundit's reputation usually isn't harmed that much by bad predictions so I expect the "Nate Silver is a genius" narrative to be largely undamaged.
And, man, does he ever come across as a thin-skinned douche.

Trump is going to regroup. The media was on the David Duke story like a dog in heat. He needs Ben to come endorse him and say that story was the result of political correctness and the media.

Finally. They're the only state that doesn't release results as they come in.
Florida is win or die.
It mightn't be. At this stage the RNC might want to keep him around just to try and split the delegates enough to keep Trump under the majority. He'd have almost 0 chance of being the nominee even at a brokered convention at that point though. it'd be Kasich if he can carry Ohio , otherwise who the hell knows what they'd do. Can they bring themselves to steal a nomination for Cruz ? Would they rather give it to Romney ?
Why, all the losing candidates. They signed a pledge, remember?
That pledge is quietly the funniest thing about this election so far.

Yup. Mainer here and I concur. The whole "tell it like it is" businessman outsider thing failed miserably here.

I'm really surprised Trump hasn't tried to play up the Fox News Debate hit piece that it was.
The Trump campaign has struck me as a little more shaken up the past 1.5 weeks or so.

Yeah it was weird after with him saying how he thought it was fair and a great debate. Maybe he just didn't want them to know he was pissed about it. That was an easy attack point to call out the media after.

Maine GOP to announce winner in 30 minutes per MSNBC. Looks like Cruz at this point.
