Super Tuesday 2016

[93henfan]

With the Cruz win in Texas and Rubio just completely shitting the bed tonight, the establishment is going to have to line up behind Cruz and start throwing the kitchen sink at Trump.

The real fireworks have yet to start, boys!

[93henfan]

Grab a chair, gather 'round. E.F. Hutton, er, I mean The Donald is about to give his Super Tuesday victory speech in a few.

Must see TV.

Some voters in Texas have seen their Trump vote switched to Rubio. I voted 8 days ago and it seems that all my votes were taken correctly.

[AZGrizFan]

Kasich and Carson are both hurting Rubio tonight....They're pulling some real numbers in several of these states, and I have to think if they weren't in the race the bulk of those votes would go to Rubio...

Not sure where they voted, but I voted in Bexar County....electronically....and it worked fine.

Doesn't really matter. Cruz is dirty as all hell and a compulsive liar and fraudster (see Iowa), but he was going to win Texas. Texans are just assholes by nature.

One thing about America: They are a bunch of bandwagonning motherfuckers....they DO love a frontrunner.

He's also the projected winner in OK. Cruz is not an establishment candidate. He is unelectable. O'Malley would mop the floor with him.

Stick a fork in Rubio.

All hail The Donald! This thing is O.V.E.R.

The Bern takes Oklahoma.

Pretty much. The Donald weathered the Rubio attacks swimmingly in the past week.

He will have one more flurry coming from the establishment between now and the second round of primaries on Mar 15th (FL, OH, NC, IL, MO).

We may be able to call it that night. Can't quite do it yet.

Cameltoe introduces Trump again.

[93henfan]

Trump takes Arkansas.

Tonight's score: Trump 7, Cruz 2, Rubio 0

CO, MN still not projected

[HI54UNI]

Rubio's night:

AL - 3rd
GA - 3rd
MA - 3rd
OK - 3rd
TN - 3rd
TX - 3rd
VA - 2nd
VT - 3rd

I guess his little attack shtick backfired.

at Rubio. What a tool.

Looks like MN might throw him a bone, which is good! I want him to stay in the race. Kasich too!

Cruz just went all crazy tea party, showing why he would be terrible vs Hillary.

Abolish the IRS! Let business do whatever it wants to the environment.

He is such a wingnut.

Seriously...the man is out of touch.

God and country...an angry God and country.

Also lost the women vote and young person vote with the anti-Planned Parenthood schtick.

If his speech is what the Republican party stands for, then fvck the Republicans. Of course, with Hillary stil taking money from Wall Street and pandering to the divide and conquer race politics of the Democratic party, then fvck the Democrats.

We need something else.

[AZGrizFan]

Kasich with more 2nd place finishes than Rubio today. Interesting. Is the voting public coming around?

[AZGrizFan]

Marco just passed Cruz for 2nd in Georgia....moral victory? Lol

[SDHornet]

Looks like my boy Rubio is down for the count.

He should drop out before the FL election and save what little face he can before losing his home state. I heard if he could have won VA he would have still kinda been in it. Oh well.

3rd party vote here I come.

[SDHornet]

I say Clinton picks up at least 450 delegates.

hilldog has nearly tripled up bernie 984-371. Have I mentioned that bernie is done yet?

Didn't see the speech. But the IRS, theough tens of thousands of pages of tax code, is one of the greatest tools that the establishment and the powerful have to maintain power and control. The IRS is establishment..Its a rogue, corrupt and rotten to the core. It needs to be abolished.

Trump 'the IRS audits me every year' is rightfully no fan of it. What has he said about doing with it?

"Donald Trump drives GOP turnout to record; Democrats lack enthusiasm

Republicans continued to shatter turnout records in their presidential primaries and caucuses Tuesday, while Democrats lagged behind in what analysts said was a clear indication of an enthusiasm gap heading into the general election.

Virginia’s GOP primary tallied more than 1 million votes, shattering the record set in 2000 by more than 50 percent. Democrats, meanwhile, were 200,000 votes shy of their own record, set in the contested 2008 primary.

In Tennessee, GOP turnout crossed the 800,000-vote mark, leapfrogging the previous record by nearly 50 percent.

Records were also likely to be set in Georgia, Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Massachusetts.

Democrats, though, were struggling, seeing turnout drop by massive levels in all of their races Tuesday night. That included Vermont and Arkansas, where their two candidates had home-state advantages of sorts, yet still couldn’t match 2008 contest.....

......the strong GOP showings Tuesday follow record turnout in the first four contests: Republican turnout in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada was up 27 percent compared to 2012.

By contrast Democrats‘ turnout is down 25 percent compared to their record-setting 2008 campaign, when then-candidate Barack Obama faced off against Hillary Clinton, who is trying again this year........

.....Analysts said the enthusiasm this year is on the Republican side, and said Mr. Trump is driving much of it. They also said they expect that enthusiasm to carry over as the race continues.

“I think it’s a harbinger of things to come,” said David Yepsen, director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University. “All those people who line up for Donald Trump rallies and also lining up at the ballot box and the caucus site. Trump’s winning and nothing succeeds like success.”

Turnout has been strong for Republicans across the board. Iowa, which kicked off the campaign season, saw a 50 percent increase for Republicans over their previous record. Indeed, turnout was so high that Mr. Trump and Sen. Marco Rubio, the second- and third-place finishers, got enough votes that they would have won in any previous year...."

Regarding blue turnout, Democrats aren't going to see 2008 levels for some time. A negro vs a woman? C'mon, that was a wet dream for liberals. The only thing that might top that would be a gay muslim vs an atheist transgender midget.

Thanks for posting this. I just heard about the pitiful turnout by Democrats.

They won't vote but they'll bitch if they lose.

Cruz and Rubio are stealing votes from Kasich. They need to get out of the way.
