lol, that list of states might as well be the list of states most dependant on the federal teat

why not make it a trade? If they want more state rights the federal gov. cuts the funding down. I wonder how great the state rights will be

haha, that's the rub, isn't it? States Rights folk usually have little to no idea just how integral federal funds are to a lean state budget. It's an ideological nightmare!

Not a chance the math isn't there.


The way it works is that at if no-one gets 1237 delegates, which Trump might not get if he loses Ohio, all delegates are unbound and can vote for anyone (granted the candidates have done the leg-work). That's how the establishment aims to reassert themselves.

Now imagine your're a Trump or Cruz supporter. The establishment would burn every bridge and theoretical GOP supporter who main vote was against established corruption, only to say hey you were right now vote for us.

Kasich winning Ohio is terrible for Trump as he's now much closes to as contested convention. Whether Kasich or Cruz get in each other's way in the future remains to be seen.

Shaping up to be a bad day for Bernie. Only even Illinois is even close right now. I can't even imagine what a Trump-Clinton debate will look like.

Kasich winning Ohio isn't good for Trump provided Rubio is out of the way. Kasich can plausibly grab some proportional delegates, maybe go all in on a few states, and make the path to a majority brutal for Trump. And where before Kasich/Rubio were squeaking under thresholds in some states, the overlap between Kasich/Cruz voters is virtually nil.

The great irony of it all is that Trump admits to buying off politicians his whole life - to being a part of the status quo establishment. And his supporters think a participant in that is the savior to change it. As if his built-up business interests, helped by corruption would not be harmed by tearing down the status quo.

yeah this really is shaping up to be the most horrible day ever for Bernie. He probably needs around 280 delegates to be on par with his recent good performances but losing all 5 would be horrible. No idea how the math works but I doubt it gets even close to that lol

Rubio staying in until this point, when he really had no chance anyways and was being crushed in the polls in FL, has only served Trump in that it ensured his (likely) victories in Missouri and North Carolina.

As for the brokered convention, the Republican Party is fucked either way. Either they send Trump up as the nominee or they send somebody else up, splintering the party. Either way, you deal catastrophic damage to the party.

As someone who voted for Bernie today and has donated/canvassed for Bernie this is gg. Short of a federal indictment, there really isn't a path forward. Oh well. Try something again in 4-8 years.

Edit: And by something I don't mean Bernie, he'll be seriously too old to run lol
