my ward-- west chester seems to have gone pretty favorably for sanders.

HILLARY CLINTON . . . . . . . . . 152 43.43
BERNIE SANDERS. . . . . . . . . . 196 56.00


TED CRUZ. . . . . . . . . . . . 28 14.74
MARCO RUBIO. . . . . . . . . . . 3 1.58
JEB BUSH. . . . . . . . . . . . 1 .53
BEN CARSON . . . . . . . . . . . 0
JOHN R KASICH . . . . . . . . . . 77 40.53
DONALD J TRUMP. . . . . . . . . . 79 41.58

Across the county Trump had about 35 k and Kasick had 24 k. Cruz at 14 k.

Can't believe I am from a place where 35 thousand people voted for Donald Trump.

Ted Cruz has a major announcement at 4pm. Current speculation is he is announcing a VP choice, dropping out of the race, or he is revealing himself to be the Zodiac Killer.

Agreed and it was hilarious watching the Christies behind Trump while he was talking. You could just about see MaryPat thinking "what a fucking asshole this guy is".

I always find Scott Adams' takes on Trump a really interesting read: http://blog.dilbert.com/post/1434794291 ... e-were-two

10. Trump rolled out the “woman card” attack on Clinton. Expect lots of backlash and hollering about sexism. Also expect that 100% of the voting public knows that the “woman card” accusation is a persuasion death blow to Clinton’s campaign. And Trump is the only candidate alive who would dare say it out loud.

Trump’s “woman card” strategy is weapons-grade persuasion. It is a “high ground” maneuver with an “identity” angle. Either one of those approaches can be a kill shot. But together?

Holy sh*t.

I’ve not seen anything like it. The engineering is superb.

Trump will probably win with men for all the obvious reasons. But winning with women has until lately seemed impossible. So the “woman card” kill shot is aimed at women voters, not men. And what it does is flip the framing, as Trump likes to do.

Clinton framing: It is time for a woman president.

Trump framing: Gender is not a job qualification

I remind you that this is the year 2016. Trump’s message recognizes that gender should not be a hiring criteria. That’s the high ground. You can’t get higher.

And it gives women an identity choice. Do they pick the leader who says the “woman card” is a qualification for a good job? Or do they pick the leader who has a long record of promoting and mentoring women because he thinks gender should not be a qualification?


He has been talking about Trump since last summer, and how he's actually a master of linguistic manipulation and NLP. http://blog.dilbert.com/post/1431643014 ... persuasion

So despite being a US Senator and Secretary of State (not to mention First Lady), according to Trump HRC's only "qualification" for the Presidency is being a woman. His top qualification is the world's worst combover.

Oklahoma is about to make it illegal for a doctor to perform an abortion. They'll take the medical license.
