Man, I'm still going back on forth if I want Trump to win Texas. On one hand it would help Trump's unstoppable train. On the other hand Cruz won't be there to siphon some of Rubio's votes, since he would probably drop out.

I mean, I guess there's a train of thought where he could win because people want the LOLz, ergo maybe you get a GOP President who will rubber stamp everything a GOP House and Senate push through. I mean....it makes sense in a weird way. I think this is probably too strategic, though.

early voting?
It's not supposed to be inconvenient for our kind!

Based on the Bloomberg polls from the ST states yesterday, Trump beats Rubio head to head. I think if he completely swept up on ST, he would still be in a great position to beat Rubio with an enormous head of steam as well. Besides, Kasich isn't dropping until Ohio.
So based on that, I'm rooting for a Trump win in TX.
Hope based upon the fact that they don't want to face reality rather than any evidence I'm guessing.

I'd say mostly Rubio or Kasich (Its a very affluent community, they have the most the lose.
I don't want Cruz to win because I detest him. I don't want Rubio to win because it gives him legs.
Yup, last day early voting. Dems will be voting here on Tuesday, so I won't get to see the chaos of the GOP primary on voting day, unfortunately.

Earlier today he had a group of 900 when he was anticipating 1800. Didn't move the cameras or anything so the whole thing looked empty as hell.

I know that. If the white Democratic electorate isn't engaged enough to vote in off-year primaries their share of the vote goes down. I'm not sure why you are confused here. It is quite possible for different demographics to have different voting patterns in mid terms vs Presidential years.
No, the graph goes up from 2004 too. The data points in the graph aren't sufficient to support your argument. At the very least you'd need to show that the white share of the electorate isn't higher for every year that the primary takes place during a Presidential election. Racism may very well have drove more white voters to turn out, but you can't prove it with that graph.

Well good thing if Cruz drops atleast is Trump won't be getting tag teamed anymore. Megyn Kelly is going to try to ruin him next week at the debate though.

Can we stop the bashing on Sanders? We get it, hes going to lose. I've accepted it and just trying to move on by focusing on the sideshow that is the right. The guy supports most of what you support.

Not at all, and it's harder than hell to fill up venues. One time a group of us went out to grab people to throw into a Hillary one in Ohio last cycle. Was awful. My main critique is when Bernie's campaign doesn't move the cameras and stuff to make it not look so bad. It's mainly a critique of his campaign than him.
But there's no corresponding dip in 2012. The entire trend is upwards, most likely due to demographic growth, except for the discontinuity in 2008. At that point, the black vote share suddenly got smaller, almost certainly due to a much higher white turnout for that election.

There was no Democratic primary race in 2012, it was effectively no different from a mid-term primary.

Fortunately not.
I am laughing hysterically again. I'm pretty sure today has made all my flatmates think I'm mad.
Nah, Hillary-supporting student #iamtheonepercent
My impression is you're asking too much, unfortunately.

Thanks. Looked it up online. Looks like March 6th is the date for the next democratic debate.

There's a farmer in Ohio who has written "NO TRUMP" on his land that you can see from the highway and sky. He's from Tuscarawas County.
He wrote "NO TRUMP" out of cow shit. I shit you not.

I can't see him as anything other than a puddle.
Is it me or does he look a little sloshed in that picture?

Was probably talked about in the Christie endorsement thread and here, but since I haven't been around today, is the endorsement plus his poor approval ratings in NJ signalling Christie losing re-election or has he decided not to/can't run?

Can't run in 2017. NJ has a 2 consecutive term limit so he can run again in 2021 but he would probably have a hard time due to his approval ratings.

Ah, the "Disrespected, never given a chance" underdog story.
He looks like he started drinking the moment Christie endorsed Trump.
