Hillary takes everything, SCOTUS intervenes and rules Hillary only competent person running and thus elects her to the Presidency by a 8-0 vote
After that, Scalia, Bork, and a few of their buddies arise from the underworld and decide to take Robert, Alito, and Thomas with them to Texas to form a new republic.

President Clinton then finds hunky justices to occupy the newly opened spots, and the ladies on the court enjoy their new company.

No way Obama lets IL go to Bernie. He probably has something secretly planned for tomorrow....................I hope

Putting his thumb on the scale at this point in a primary would be unprecedented. There is no way he'll do such, especially due to the media narrative that is still writing sander off.
 
Real interesting bit will be how Florida reacts to the Red Bern Tapes, tbqh. If he doesn't crash and burn completely among the folks there, i wonder what that would mean for the rest of the country.

Fwiw on Iran
Brussels (AFP) - Iran's recent ballistic missile tests are not in violation of its nuclear deal and the European Union is not considering sanctions at this stage, EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said Monday.

has calmed down a bit.
I'm catching up on the Sunday shows and I have to say Marco Rubio gave a remarkable interview to Jake Tapper. I don't know why Marco made the mistakes he made but certainly this interview made me understand why a lot of the experts thought he was such a dangerous opponent for Hillary Clinton. He was heart felt, he was earnest, he was real, and he didn't sound calculated at all. I know part of it is him realizing that his campaign is over. But it was still an amazing interview to watch. Also Jake Tapper is on a roll. After that trump Kkk interview, he did another tough interview with Trump and actually made him lose his temper. What an election cycle.

It'd be nice if they didn't etch bullshit like "Israel must be wiped off the earth" on the missles.

When Clinton wins Ohio and Illinois tomorrow by bigger than expected margins because the polls got too spooked by Michigan but Misery votes for Sanders.

Has nothing to do with Bismarck, but is a direct result of the Weimar Republic and the rise of the Third Reich.

One of the Weimar Republic's big problems was that so many of its parties were opposed to the Republic itself, which eventually made it impossible to form a majority in the Reichstag that was pro-democracy. Particularly once the Nazis and Communists had a majority between them governments became very unstable. Chancellors would not have the support of any sort of majority coalition in the Reichstag and basically depended on the President to get anything done.

I'm getting off the subject here, but East Germany was an interesting case in that it was designed to give the appearance of a multiparty democracy. The People's Chamber always had representation from several parties, but the proportions were, for all intents and purposes, determined in advance as they all ran on a "unity" list which would win 99+% of the vote. Also all other parties were explicitly subordinate to the ruling Socialist Unity Party (which was itself based on a fiction of a merger between the Communists and the Social Democrats when it functioned as a Communist takeover of the Social Democrats).

Sorry for the digression. I'm a bit of a German history geek.

Republicans
Ohio - Trump
Florida - Trump
Missouri - Trump
Illinois - Trump

Looking deeper @ the Ohio polls shows on the last day of polling, most of them started swinging Trump. Kasich for some unknown reason thought having Romney come into the state was a good idea LOL.

Dems
Ohio - Bernie
Illinois - Bernie
NC - Hillary
Florida - Hillary
Missouri - Bernie

I'm split on Ohio, it should trend toward Bernie but the polling isn't showing such.

Don Lemon just punked the shit out of someone on his show who tried to go on a rant about how Trump couldn't possibly be a pathological liar because he's successful.

Didn't know he had it in him.
