Elections 2016 Super Saturday to March 14th Primary Thread

What a night for the Cruz missle. 2 wins amd closer than expected in Ky and La. Cruz has finally figured out what he has to do in debate . . . eat boogers. Its the only way he can dumb himself down to the base enough to be relatable.

As a Cruz supporter, I LOLed at this post.

No problem with humor aimed at my side of the isle.

Trump looking low energy. Another PR implosion in this speech.

Seriously though, that's his problem. He has pretty impeccable conservative credentials that align with the base. But the son of a bitch doesn't connect with that base at all because he's arrogant and long-winded. And an ugly bastard.

So eating boogers works. He can't stop himself from being an arrogant windbag. It's who he is. And he ain't going to lose any sex appeal voters by being gross, because he looks like a rapist anyway. So eat some boogers.

Holy shit, pretty wild day for the primaries. Kansas is a wildcard giving huge margins to both Cruz and Sanders.

trump holding steady until the heavyweight fight march 15 .. he has to do a better job of fending off the attacks and counterattacking the little weasel cruz .. and no more dick jokes ffs

Don't usually quote posts just to say I laughed, but this cracked me the fuck up.

Go check the super Tuesday numbers. He won a state, had many over 20, and the rest were just under 20. He scored an 8 and 11 tonight and didn't break 20.

That qualifies for the description of 'Not scoring very high.'

I said outside of Minnesota.

Bernie and Hillary continue their regional dominance. Tuesday is important for Bernie guys. Michigan needs to be close, and a Bernie win would be a game changer.

Love the narrative that Trump is in so much trouble with Cruz surging, while Sanders is still an after thought. Absolutely absurd. Trump has 10 of 16 states, while Clinton has 11 of 18.

One of the front runners is more dominant than the other, but you would never know it by the coverage.

Rubio is free falling. Honest question to gopers . . . does the foam party thing h5irt him? Who put that out there? My hunch days Cruz. It'd be par for the course.

It is odd but not that crazy considering Hillary is over 1100. You are right if Sanders wins more pledged delegates it will change likely but I am looking at this as first person to the finish line and she has a substantial lead. I found a good article a while back which explored the % margins Bernie needs to perform at to win. Needless to say it's high at this point.

Another good one saying race is predictable. Sanders wins white far leaning liberal places with few exceptions of white middle class. Clinton does well in more diverse or broad states with minorities.

In any case it is interesting because white America is shrinking as a % of total population. So candidates need to become broader and I feel a more centrist line is what they want. The Latinos I know are certainly centrist to left leaning and hence voted Clinton as they wanted a continuation of the Obama greatness.

Would love to see that if you can find it.

I don't even think many people know about that at all. I didn't even see the new stations/sites pick it up. Rubio was at 3rd place at highest at the beginning of the race so isn't so much a free fall. It's just now that there's three and it's clear that Cruz and Rubio are the anti-Trump vote that one needs to be backed and the other drop out. He's banking on Florida but I'm not too sure that will happen and even if it does, he is still looking at a brokered convention as the best case scenario.

His gains in Kansas and Nebby were outweighed by size of loss in LA. He did alright, but the size of his losses in the south are doing him in.

His numbers went down drastically today compared to super Tuesday.

I don't know man. He wasn't competitive today at all. As an antiTrump republican, would you back Cruz if it came down to it?

100% agree it is creating a mountain to climb for Bernie, but this wouldn't be the first mountain Sanders has climbed this election.

Michigan is huge. I really want to see if the black vote breaks the same in Michigan as it has down south. If it does, Bernie will be in real trouble, he will struggle in the rust belt, which he needs.

I will tomorrow.

The name of the article was something like "Bernie fans have a problem and it's math" or "Bernie fans don't like math".

It predicted like I said the degree of margins he needs to perform at to win based off Hillary's superdelegate lead then and polling for the states at the time. It was a 2016 article I recall. It's emphasis was on the math needed to win.

I was agreeing with you. I was simply implying though it wasn't so much a free fall his he's only really been at third place at highest in this race. I'm fairly certain I won't be voting in the GE unless it's some write in bullshit. I think Trump is going to win and if Cruz takes it, I don't agree with most of his policies. Moreso maybe than Clinton but neither would make me happy enough to back,

Ehh, not nearly as interested now. I want to see the math without the superdelegates.
