Slow day here at work. Watched a ton of Twilight Zone, napped a bit, read online. Wish I had brought my 3DS today.
Tonight'll be fun. Not stressing very much at all. The die is cast on pretty much both sides.

All the Hillary voters are going to vote for Kasich to stop Trump
It depends on her campaign and how much she has invested in later contests also on the margins in NC and Florida. For him to really turn things around he needs to not only win 3/5 he needs to make sure she doesn't beat him by double digits in FL/NC. I think Florida will be a struggle but NC could be somewhere - where he closes the gap.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Just did my part MOgaf. Voted for hillary
Not only is it over 100, but she's hit negative numbers. I can only assume that means she loses delegates.

Sherrod Brown would be replaced with a Republican that would likely keep the seat in a low turnout special election. Hillary had best stay away from Senators with Republican Governors for her VP. The Democrats don't have seats to spare with the Senate in the balance and 2018 having a really difficult map for them.

the nervousness keeps getting ratcheted up. It's pretty funny, ya'll! Then you all come to your senses as soon as the results are released.

I want to see Rubio cry on live TV. It would be so glorious. Good to know that we live in a world where insinuating another candidate had a small penis backfires on you.
Going to be so pissed when Clinton loses Ohio to more damn "strategic voting." Help her finish this up, please. She could use a vacation. That would also be strategic!

Many Sanders supporters do! This is their whole justification for claiming he's even vaguely competitive! "Won a lot of states." There's no other actual statistic to cling to that isn't pressing against him, because he's losing, and there's absolutely no way to avoid that fact. Apparently, despite being this far into the process, no one has explained to them how delegates work. "Won a lot of states" is not in and of itself a thing that helps you in a primary.
Are they college age?

I can't tell sometimes whether some of you all are joking or are concerned.
Ben Stein- "I've not heard one racist word come out of his [Trump's] mouth".

People said not to worry about cross voting in Michigan too.

No one would keep that seat if he leaves(and he's probably going to lose anyway in 2018), no pls.
I'm also concerned that some of the bonus delegates Sanders gets will be batdelegates, meaning that they'll be able to defeat Hillary's superdelegates if they have time to prepare. Just another failure on the part of DWS to control the process effectively.

Cruz people are doing robocalls in Florida claiming Rubio has dropped out race. Oh man, tonight is going to be entertaining.
I'm not sure I buy the assertion that the penis joke was what brought Rubio's downfall.
Marcomentum was never real, outside of a brief media-driven fantasy.
He was headed downwards regardless, but I believe the "robo" moment at the debate was more significant in him falling.
It's all conjecture anyways since it's pretty darn difficult to accurately point at ONE thing that brought a candidate's fall.

Ohio State, at least, just started its spring break this past weekend
Come on... This is already a mess.
Rubio's gonna need a bigger water bottle to put out this fire.

And there's no real hard evidence it mattered.
But even if it did, Hillary and Bernie essentially tied. It isn't WTA, it's proportional.
If Bernie wins every state he wins from here on out by under 5% and Hillary wins some state by 15%+, it's not competitive even if Sanders wins more states.
in the Democrat Primaries, who wins a state means nothing, only margins matter. This is not true in the Republican Primary where margins do matter but so do Districts as well as who wins.
If you swap Michigan to Hillary by the same margin as Bernie got, the delegate count changes in an insignificant way and yet the media would be talking about how Bernie is close to done.
Stop paying any attention to the horse race media. Focus on media that cares about delegates and such.
My point isn't to argue Bernie is done but it is to argue that who wins a state doesn't matter. If Bernie wins every state today 50.1-49.9, he loses.
Has Rubes really been groomed for a decade? I more feel like he was in the right place at the right time. The Florida establishment did not want him to win over Crist back during the senate primary.

OSU springbreak started yesterday. Most of them probably left on Friday. In any case, I dont believe this causes a huge problem thanks to early voting and mailing.

Maybe if Rubio actually did his job the past few years, he wouldn't be in this position.
DWS keeps getting away with it

Marco Rubio is probably the embodiment of movement conservatism and that he's losing to a horrific bigot with no idea of policy shows that no one ever cared about conservative ideas, just the bigotry. People didn't vote for Reagan because he hated Social Security and Medicare, they voted for Reagan because Reagan really hated black people. This primary season is good proof.

Bernie is soooo a Filet-o-Fish, with that sad little piece of yellow cheese. And that shitty steamed bun. It's perfect.

Lmao Cruz's campaign has the slimiest motherfuckers in the cycle.
Link?
This is a very in-depth model, but I think I've identified a possible issue. Technically the Filet-O-Fish is a sandwich, not a burger.*
* Amazingly, Wikipedia and the McDonald's website have exactly opposite opinions as to which of these two items is a sandwich and which a burger. As a result this joke required way too much research time to write.
