She's right.
More importantly, they're 55% of the GE electorate.

He plays dumb when it's convenient, sure. Dodging the birther stuff is strategic. But that David Duke thing, he seemed legitimately confused, and had to employ the 'I have no idea about anything you're talking about' response like he was coached to do that if it happens at a bad time, like a live TV interview. The Trump campaign could always explain it away later no matter how awkward it seemed. The explanation was a bad earpiece, yet Trump repeated Duke's name a few times yet still insisted he had no idea. He acknowledged and established that he heard the words David, Duke, white and supremacists in his response to the question. There was no benefit to make himself look that bad- especially considering his ego and that he publicly made a statement about this very issue just the day before.

I wonder what Hillary would focus on if she gets 52+ Dems in the Senate and 218+ in the House.

also fwiw, excluding that GWU/Battleground poll that randomly has it at +3
Clinton has led by 4% or more in the aggregate since the beginning of February - and that lead's still widening
Not with Kasich!!
jk he'll get wrecked in GE polling once people pay attention to him. Which is never. Because he won't get the nomination.

Why is Cruz only hitting Trump on the fact that Trump thinks trans people should be allowed to use the bathroom instead of the fact that Trump ran a fraud university?
It's a more visceral appeal, and Cruz is composed of nearly 100% viscera
Plinko
Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Wouldn't be shocked at all to see the RNC take Kasich at the convention.
I love how the more Cruz is in the news, the more his GE numbers drop.

I would be shocked. Let's assume they can pull off a bunch of rules changes that screw over both Trump and Cruz, allowing them to nominate pretty much whomever they want, which is already a stretch given how much Cruz has been working the delegate game. Why would they go for the guy who's pissed a bunch of them off and has the stench of losing, badly, to both Trump and Cruz when they could just go with someone like Paul Ryan instead?
Stop flooding the topic with dumb memes >_<
A) They already tried the Trump University attack angle. Nobody seems to care *shrug*
B) Cruz is a monster so he does as a monster does? *shrug*

No. Not until after California.
In 2008 didn't we hear that language around this time?

No.
I don't think it's possible for her to pass the threshold after tomorrow night.
No but it was a closer race
Here's what Wikipedia has to say. It was on the day of the final primaries.
Note: she might become the presumptive nominee once she clinches including supers, so 2383.
Because conservative heroes are constantly scamming people out of their money. That's a feature, not a bug. Ten years from now Ted Cruz will be hawking bullshit products in commercials on Fox News.

I went to a gender neutral bathroom in NYC tonight.
Didn't not encounter any thing bad. Just a normal bathroom line.

Almost none. I think maybe Jeb! could have pulled together a bully pit to have the delegates switch to him in a contested. But not Kasich. He doesn't have the pull within the party and they aren't organized enough to all band behind him.

Agreed. Most candidates win with a minimal number of that demographic, so I don't see a reason to throw out the Obama coalition to maybe earn their votes (which are obviously fewer in number given Hillary's lead).
What's really crazy about this is that it requires Sanders to only lose DC. Not Guam, PR, New Mexico, New Jersey, etc... Not a single one of those. That's just an insane stretch to try and earn, so I really don't see it happening.
About the same chance as the FBI indicting Hillary.

NYTimes writes article defending man who assaulted his girlfriend because, what the fuck?

People that commit intimate partner violence are scum and subhuman, the NFL draft didn't make Manziel into a miserable human being, Manziel did.
True.
It's probably the most truly Republican feature Trump has other than the overwhelming racism and misogyny.

I just fucking love the fact that Trump is making fun of Kasich eating like a savage lmao
It's just so juvenile and dumb, but it burns a hole in your soul. Kasich probably got blindsided like a moron on that one. Classic Trump.

With all the brain damage these folks get, I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up with a Texas Bell Tower incident as a result of it. But holy hell, Manziel isn't that person. He was a QB that rarely got hit, and he was a shithead ever since he got to A&M. He's 100% responsible for those actions, and he should be punished harshly for it.

Comedic gold.
I was curious what an 11-point Clinton win would look like on the electoral college map. I did two maps, one based on 2008, and the other based on 2012. In 2008, Obama won by 7.2 points, so it would be a 3.8% swing. In 2012, Obama won by 3.9%, so a 7.1% swing. So, here are the maps with states flipped if they were within 3.8 or 7.1:
Based on 2008:
Based on 2012:
With 2008 as the base, Montana and Missouri flip. Georgia is under 2 points, but not quite there. With 2012, North Carolina and Nebraska's 2nd congressional district flip (edit: actually, the Nebraska CD was at 7.16%, so it would be on the razor's edge for whether it would flip or not). Georgia is even closer this time, under 1 point, but still not enough. Arizona and Missouri are around 2 points from flipping. Surprisingly, even though the 2012 base has a bigger swing, there was only 1 red state and 1 CD close enough to switch.
Of course, this is a bit naive. With the different dynamics of the race and demographic changes (especially since 2008), I wouldn't be too surprised to see something like this in November:
