Calvin, you'll be pleased to know I had Turnip winning NV 14 delegates. He underperformed in NV.

He's still a loser. And will still lose. Assholes are losers. Losers are assholes. And Mitch McConnell, with the help of Chuck GrASSley, has assured that at the margin anything labeled R will lose, perhaps catastrophically for Rs, in November.

NV polling is like NV Rs, and NV generally. A deplorable shithole (Sorry 702).

Turnip still repels anyone with anything resembling brains or character. So the majority of Rs, and especially of Americans.
Yes, but in a double utley you can put your utley on top they other guy's utley, and you're the winner. (Swish)

That habit of beating up on the people who are actually most like you, and giving a pass to those who're doing "better" on "the metrics", is something many of Turnip's adherents reflexively do, and overall why your party's in the shape it's in.

What you have to "condemn" is the mountain of contemptible shit your R orthodoxy has inculcated for years, not what your closest-to-sane remaining candidate is doing now.

You'll be happy to know we share the same view of the near primary future. But if I hear any noises from you along the lines of "well, a Rubio vice-presidency would be a sweet balance for the Turnip ticket in November, and great for his future too", I'ma coming for you

Kaisch is playing for the VP nom.
On a scale of 1 to Chris Brown, how pissed is he?

For all the talk about Rubio vs. Cruz and who might be the stronger candidate in a one-on-one against Trump, it’s worth noting that the cake is very, very close to being baked for Trump on the delegate math. Something cataclysmic is going to have to happen — and soon — to keep Trump from being over or very close to the 1,237 delegates he needs to be the party’s nominee when these primaries end on June 7.

in a lot of these republican candidate v. clinton hypothetical polls (state and national), clinton does not do well. that is pretty worrisome. even in ones matched against trump.

if he expects to win the nomination - yes

he won't have lost. You're missing the point here. If Turnip is not the nominee before the Rs reach Cleveland, he won't be the nominee

I like Cillizza, and he's told you what I've told you, Calvin: math has to happen. Math really isn't cataclysmic. The story of the Turnip shitshow may wind up being "major media politics reporters can't do math". Not much of a story, really. But that's Cillizza's career in a nutshell.

"Very close"? what good will that be for Turnip? Rs get him to Cleveland, they punch him in the face. And he cries, and goes home.

i feel happy knowing Sheldon Adelson's pet project of buying a newspaper for far more than it is worth simply to influence politics isn't working as of yet.

I can't believe there is still denial that Trump is going to be the nominee...anyways here is a sobering article from Matt Taibbi...pretty good read.

a new bloomberg poll shows people are misinformed:
“A quick question about the deficit – which is the difference between what the federal government spends and what it takes in in taxes and other revenue each year. Over the last six years, do you think the deficit has been getting bigger or smaller?”

Bigger: 73%
Smaller: 21%
Not sure: 6%
