2016 Republican Primary

[93henfan]

If I were about to lay off my campaign staff, I'd hire Fiorina too.

[YoUDeeMan]

I guess the $500K Hush money wasn't enough for Fiorina

Speaking of hush money...how come Hastert gets 15 months in prison for raping a couple boys, age 14-17, while Milk gets a statue of him in Gaytown for raping a 16 year old?

C'mon, dback...get crackin' on the fundraising for Hastert's statue...another future hero.

Cruz needs to win every single delegate remaining. That won't happen.

That's not even what we're talking about It doesn't matter how many delegates Cruz wins from here on out. The only thing that matter is Trump needs to win 1237 or there will likely be a contested convention which means Cruz or Kasich could win in a contested convention irregardless of how many delegates Cruz wins from here on out. Which means Trump likely needs to win Indiana to get to that 1237 to prevent a contested convention like I was saying.

Uh...that's what I was talking about. He has no path. His plan is to usurp the will of the people. Like a bitch.

Ok. It depends on what your definition of "path" is then. I was referring to his "path" being keeping Trump from 1237 and winning through a contested convention.

I don't agree with that path (contested convention) so long as a candidate if he doesn't get to 1237 gets pretty close (say 1100+ which of course Trump easily will, and the 2nd place candidate isn't close (which Cruz won't likely be- he'll likely finish in the 700s, maybe hit 800). It it would be better if Trump simply got to 1237..

Path to the nomination. Path to 1237. He doesn't have it.

That is 2 different paths you are talking about.
-Path to the nomination Cruz has has a very slim chance at through a contested convention if Trump doesn't hit 1237.
-Path to 1237 obviously not.

I've posted the schedule back in Feb on page 21 of this thread, but here it is again with the remaining Republican contests with # of delegates at stake:

Tues, 5/3 IN - 57 (WTA) Open
Tues, 5/3 NE - 36 (???) Closed
Tue, 5/10 WV - 34 (???) Mixed
Tues, 5/17 OR - 28 (P) Closed
Tues, 5/24 WA - 44 (P) Closed
Tues, 6/7 CA - 172 (P) Mixed
Tues, 6/7 MT - 27 (WTA) Open
Tues, 6/7 NJ - 51 (WTA) Mixed
Tues, 6/7 NM - 24 (P) Closed
Tues, 6/7 SD - 29 (WTA) Closed

"Allocation...Republican primaries/caucuses are listed as Proportional (P), Winner-Take-All (WTA), or Winner-Take-Most (WTM).
Proportional – Delegates are awarded based on the percentage of the vote received by candidates, or some formulation of dividing up the delegates
Winner Take All – All delegates are given to the winner of the contest
Winner Take Most – Some delegates are reserved for the winner, some may be divided proportionally
Unbound – Delegates are not bound to a specific candidate and can support any candidate of their choosing, varies by state party."

Type
Open– Voters may vote in either party primary but can choose only one
Closed – Only voters registered in their respective party may vote in the party primary
Mixed – A semi-open or semi-closed environment, unaffiliated voters can choose to vote in either primary or can switch registration the day of voting"
http://www.uspresidentialelectionnews.c ... -calendar/

Now I only count 502 delegates there, and Politico's delegate tracker says 583 left, so not sure where the other 81 come from..Bottom line is we will have to wait 6 weeks for the 6/7 Super Tues for Trump to surpass 1237 (or not)

With Indiana being an open primary I think that helps Trump

I lol'ed at that too BDK. We know he's been a shitty President, but history will not record it that way. Because he's black and the first one at that, he will have walked on water.

It will be truly sickening.

He'd win a third term in a landslide against this field.

Actually, millennials are the most fiscally conservative generation since the Great Depression...thanks to the Great Recession. The downside is that they don't risk their money for high-gain rewards. But in regards to saving for retirement, millennials started earlier than any other generation in history...and have the highest saving rate (at their age) than any other generation before.

We're basically the super-saver generation. Also because we care more about "experiences" than consumer products, except for phones. You better not take our god damn phones away.

a super saver, fiscally conservative generation that wants the government to pay for everything.

Sooo...instead of stopping the big boys from being able to do it, the answer is to let everyone do it?

So, what's your answer for keeping the big boys from doing it?

Link? I must've missed that story.

[93henfan]

Why was Fiorina singing at her intro?

You do not sing at veep intros. Even Joe Biden wasn't that awkward.

What an incredibly creepy pairing in Ted and Carly. There has to be some freakshow sex going on in private. Probably involving boogers.

(And I pay to watch that bag of antlers)

[bluehenbillk]

I think if Trump wins Indiana & California keeps trending the way it is he'll get the delegate count he needs. If Indiana goes Cruz's way you're looking at a contested convention.

Either way Trump will just make it or just miss.

Cruz is pulling out the stops. He's creeping up on Level 5 Creeper.

There's more than enough dumbasses in this country for him to win a 3rd 4th and 5th term against anyone.

When specifically asked his opinions on Ted Cruz, Boehner made a face, drawing laughter from the crowd.
“Lucifer in the flesh,” the former speaker said. “I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.”

Donald Trump will likely wind up winning the most primary votes of any GOP presidential candidate in modern history
