I think it's over now. Really surprised since Ted Cruz plays better with the Midwest evangelical set. Wonder if Kasich will stay in since 1237+ for Trump seems certain now.

Hi Nexus! Did you ever finish that Mustang?
@674,104 (hamfist !0Ynig1RSDc)
Me neither. I don't see the need for a moderate Republican because we already have one and her name is Hillary.
@previous (Syntax)
I hope you didn't bet too much on Cruz winning Indiana.

I did not place a bet on the Republican side of the election today. I lost a bit re Sanders beating Hillary. But that is chump change compared to results so far.
I still cannot believe the Republican Party ended up with two fuckwits. Of course I have one hell of a lot of high level Republicans agreeing with me. Don't no if you watched Trump say such nice things about Cruz THIS EVENING and his Wife - After a day of just the opposite.
Now if I could only place a direct bet on "Two Faced" as one of the slogans Team Clinton will use against Trump.
Cruz truly one of the most disgusting people I have ever seen in pubic service.
Ah FUCK Wolf Blitzer says Bernie just had an important win LOLOL - I dooooon't see the math changing much re delegate split . Clinton LOST but won never the less

If you were made boss of the Republican party, and had to pick a nominee to beat Hillary in November, who would you pick (assuming you can draft any living, eligible Republican and the party/voters will support your choice)?

Is the one Delegate JUST ONE, a 15 minute scooter drive from that roach infested, dead end nursing home you currently reside in?

Paul Ryan probably. Young, respected by all factions of the party. Can go toe-to-toe with Hillary on policy matters. No scandals. Pair him up with Rubio to minimize Dem advantage on the Hispanic vote and groom Rubio for the presidency in 2024. Repubs really shit the bed this election.

So the question is Who can beat Hillary? In the polls so far only one person can. Kasich. Now how it ends up that he has only won just one state.
So it still looks like Republicans have only just ONE person to Run and his numbers re Unfavorable is the worst in the history of the party and his numbers re Woman are the WORST EVER in the history of the party. And now he is going face against a woman. This will be interesting and I could lose a LOT of money cause I wood have put hard money against Trump as the Nominee. Instead I figured almost two months ago he was a shoe in and mostly with emotion re my so little regard for those that currently support him.
Just cannot wait to see how he figures out how to go after the womans vote as well as the Latino vote.

Small potatoes -
Benghazi wood not have even happened if we stayed the fuck out of Libya. Iraq the same. Reagan had arms for hostages except of course he claimed he had no clue.

Sanders Won YET now has one less delegate - Hillary now has 44 more delegates and Sanders only picked up 43.
Hope he is using more than his fingers to figure out where he went rong again.

Not bad. Rubio is a nice guy too, but he just seemed to lack substance.
@674,183 (Syntax)
I checked the polls on RCP and actually Sanders beats Kasich, Cruz, and Trump by even wider margins than Hillary. Also are you sure you don't want to change your answer to Gary Hart? He is still alive and he had the best favorability numbers of any candidate since 1984.
@674,220 (Syntax)
The candidate with the highest favorability lost in 1984, 1988, 1992, and 2000 (Gore really won 2000). Nate "called 50 out of 50 states" Silver has been wrong every step of the way during Trump's rise, by the way. He gave Trump a 2% chance of winning the nomination.
@674,189 (hamfist !0Ynig1RSDc)
All jokes aside, it's true. If you take out the culture war wedge issues, there's no difference between Hillary and Romney or McCain or Kasich. That's one thing I like about Trump: he's moved away from the "god, guns, and gays" nonsense and completely disavowed George W. Bush's foreign interventionism. Whatever Hillary says about Trump, she won't be able to use the Bush years against him because he'll be the first to disavow them. Also her and Biden voted for war in Iraq (and Biden voted for DOMA, btw).

Meta's political commentary is so divorced from reality that I think he's going to have a disassociate fit by November.

My response was to the previous image Everybody Sucks 2016 - Which is Unfavorable -
As to Nate Silver - His fame is NOT based on be4 Primaries or even Primaries - Its fame based on the actual game. Remember he started out doing sports forecasting - "Forecasting the performance of individual players, the economics of baseball, metrics for the valuation of players" A subject I no nada about other than he made a small fortune.
So its all about the Major League game which is about to start - After each has selected the VP and the bell rings and they come out fighting - Going to be one hell of a fight.
Thing is the very best fun is when its polarizing candidates. In my life time the last time I saw anything like this was back with Goldwater -

I wouldn't even consider reality concrete at this point.
