Oh. I thought you meant Ted Cruz. As predicted, I look like a dick. I still have no idea what you're talking about. I'm distracted by Bernie's speech. :p

You are the better person for not knowing who he is.

As soon as you said vermin, my brain went straight to Cruz.

I'm trying to avoid melodrama because the primaries are so ****ed up in general. However, with the Trump thing, I feel like the country is going down the tubes . . . .

Gees 60/40 to Sanders. That's more than was polled beforehand I think.

Down the shitter might be more like it. Trump just spouts shit....meaningless crap with no basis in reality, and the morons eat it up. Just listening to him triggers a gag reflex. Apparently he has "heard" that unemployment is really as high as 40%. Just more tripe shoved into the defective minds of his followers. Oh, and it is so easy to build a wall. Well, at least 66% of the people in NH voted against him. I honestly think if half the field dropped out we would see a different picture. Kasich is started to impress me.

He is starting to impress me, being a bit of a closeted hippie myself. He seems a decent man.

Trump is a clown and a pathological liar. The only good news is that Kasich - the most reasonable of this bunch - finished second,

The fact that we all like him is the kiss of death for Kasich.

I'm sure that's how they felt about President George McGovern, too.

Honestly, this is the sort of rhetoric that we hear out of the Tea Party. It's a group with only minority support that is deluded enough to regard itself as being the majority and that fails to acknowledge that its interests can only be represented if it enters into a coalition with others who are closer to the middle. Instead, they attack those who they need as allies as sellouts and consign themselves to being noisy but irrelevant.

Looks like Bush didn't do as well as they first thought he would.

Christie looks like he's suspending his campaign. "We're going to home and see what happens, and then we can make a decision about how we go ahead with the race."

Dude, you're finishing fifth or sixth... it doesn't matter. You're wasting your time.

Indeed. As well as, what will happen with Christie at this point? He put everything he had into New Hampshire and it looks like he'll bomb.
