2016 Republican Primary

[93henfan]

I may have to boycott this year's CS.com Crab Fest in protest of this anti-Trump rhetoric.

I was having the same thought due to the pro-Trump majority of the scheduled attendees.

That's true: Cluck, DSU, and myself. That's almost enough to win the Delaware GOP primary.

Ivy, are you going to support Trump when he gets the nomination?

Not any more than Kalm will support Hillary.

[Ivytalk]

Ivy, are you going to support Trump if he gets the nomination?

FIFY, and hell no.

That's what's called a Siamese troll, gentlemen. Take notes.

Shaddup and keep us taxpayers safe from bloated procurement contracts.

I didn't want to go looking for this later

Current Delegate Count

Trump - 844, needs 393 to win
Cruz - 543, needs 694 to win
Kasich - 148, needs 1,084 to win

There are 674 delegates left, with 172 in play tomorrow (4/26). Some estimates have Trump winning 90 tomorrow. We'll see.

The new, "Presidential" Donald!

He takes the high road for about five minutes at a time, then reverts back to form.

5 minutes is the attention span of the avg American.


There's a graph to prove my point.



Just give me time to make it.

Or just contract out jelly to make one.

So a 52% hit rate in what is basically his back yard?
Are they winner take all? My money is still on a brokered convention and the establishment finds another way to shit down their leg and fuck everything up.

I think a majority tomorrow are Winner Take Most. One winner take all (Delware, IIRC.)

No she wouldn't. Anything short of King Kung Un is better than Hillary.

Agreed, except for Cruz. He's the one thing that would be worse. I believe in a separation of church and state. Cruz is a radical zealot, and he wants me to be unemployed. **** him. I would vote for Hillary over that.

"Wants" and reality are 2 different things. Near zero chance you'd be RIFed. The only thing Cruz would maye be able to do would be hiring and/or pay freezes. EASY to increase the size of govt. Very hard to decrease no matter how much a POTUS might want to..

With Cruz you'd still have your job and guns. With Hillary you'd have your job and no guns..

How poor is Delaware?

They're so poor that they have only one Congressional District!

And but for those asswipe NJ/NY retirees, they'd have half a Congressional District.

You hiding something?

we can see that New York’s primary marked a sharp left turn on the calendar. From New York through the end of the primaries, 51 percent of delegates will be awarded in HighBlue — Cruz’s weakest quadrant — a huge 32 percentage point jump from primaries before New York. Kasich’s best quadrant is HighBlue, but he’s Trump’s weaker opponent by far.

Meanwhile, of the 769 delegates at stake in the final stretch that started with New York, just 11 percent will be awarded in states and districts that fall into Cruz’s best quadrant, HighRed — down 14 percentage points from contests before New York. The HighRed states and districts remaining on the calendar include Nebraska, suburban Indianapolis and Orange County, California; but by themselves they aren’t enough to guarantee a floor fight.

Trump 2016!

Just voted in Cheswold. Found out that my dad is also a registered Republican and my mother is a registered Democrat.
Married 30 years next month

It was funny still seeing Bush, Carson, and Rubio on the ballot.

I'm assuming that it's alphabetical, with Trump at the bottom of the list.

But you're 31, if you graduated in 2007 and my math is right.

Turnout upstate seems light. My sense is that a lot of the old-guard Republicans up here are disappointed Jeb/Rubio people who are sitting this one out. Kasich may finish second, but it's no tsunami.

lol well hypothetically speaking,

[spoiler]if I did go to college my graduating class would be 2008 [/spoiler]

it was actually pretty busy around the area. Trump may actually get a majority of the GOP votes here (cough JSO). Although watch something weird happen like Bush finishing 2nd or something

Cruz is a radical zealot, and he wants me to be unemployed.

OHHHH! Now I see. For the life of me I couldn't see how you could possibly support a nut job asshole like Trump. But you perceive Cruz as threatening your livelihood. THAT makes it understandable.
