Do you need me to tell you you're wrong about other predictions to guarantee they come true as well? Cause I am about 0 for my last 100. Call me John Kasich.

Spurs WILL NOT win the league. :)

Whats your deal in DC btw? Are you still in education?

Working at a polling firm. We're dropping NATIONAL NUMBERS tomorrow on Clinton/Trump to get some publicity and maybe be on the radar for Trump if he wants to hire a general election pollster. Though he is not winning in them so he might not love us.

I am drinking currently.

These facts are not unrelated.

You're doing something other than counting delegates.

"Winning states" gets you shit if you're winning anemic pluralities, because you don't get to the number of delegates you need to secure the nomination that way, even if you win ALL the winner-take-all states. There may be people who encourage Rubio to stay in even if he flops in FL, because keeping drumpf from getting needed delegates in non-WTA states may become the game.

Rs should be focused on slowing drumpf in non-WTA states. He has to do better than high 30s in those states, provided others are soaking up shares of delegates, to get the delegates for nomination.

It's as simple as that.

Trump hasn't stopped.

It's amazing. What is he even talking about? I move China. I really do. They're great. Incredible people.

Looks like another delegate winning night for Clinton. Just a matter of time, really.

And if he stays above 50% in Mississippi, it becomes a WTA. He has been staying on pace to reach the threshold to this point.
