So, Super Tuesday tomorrow.

Who wants to throw out some predictions?

Hillary will probably have it all sewn up or very close to.

Lots of people are very doom and gloom about Donald running the table. I don't know, I hope not.

As did the actual headline of the article.

But then I found this:
TIME Photographer Chris Morris in Trump Rally Confrontation

strongmen, henchmen...shades of Mussolini. Makes me wanna :sick:
What have we come to?

The choice for US voters is a plain one. Either you vote for Trump, who may or may not be a psychopathic killer, or you vote for one of the others, who are all proven psychopathic killers.

As an outsider, I don't want to see further slaughters of civilians in their homes in the Middle East. I'd take my chances with Trump, because I see what the others are capable of. Not one of his Republican rivals has ever failed to support the slaughters.

As for the Democratic side - God help the world if Hillary (proven psychopathic killer) gets in.

Trump is not a politician. He is a loud mouthed bully

The other choices may not give a lot of hope as worthy leaders but at least they are all politically experienced. Trump isn't.

I sense an impending wrist slashing (my own).

Interested to see if Ted Cruz can hang on to Texas.

Every debate ever he name drops Jeff Sessions... who came out today and endorsed Trump.

The Donald has a lead in all of the other states. Carson and Kasich to throw in the towel?

The American people have been bullied by the Republican establishment smear mongers for the past 30 years. It's about time that they tasted their own medicine. What goes around comes around.

Sadly I think that is what will happen.


Hillary Clinton heads into Super Tuesday riding a huge wave of momentum following a dominating victory in South Carolina. The former Secretary of State took 73.5 percent of the vote and claimed 39 of 53 delegates in the Palmetto State.

Following that huge performance for Clinton, she has moved to a massive -2000 favorite to earn the Democratic presidential nomination over Bernie Sanders (+750). Though the loss itself was not a huge blow to Sanders, the victory was huge for Clinton who had seen her opponent gain ground in the previous primaries.

Despite an official endorsement from Chris Christie, Donald Trump’s odds to become the Republican nomination have not moved since Friday. Trump remains a large favorite at -400 with Marco Rubio coming in as the only candidate remotely close to the real estate mogul.

The big victory in South Carolina also extended Clinton’s lead to become the next president, as she shifted from -140 the day before the primary to -175 the day after. All other presidential hopefuls saw their odds drop slightly heading into Super Tuesday, in which 11 states will hold their primaries or caucuses for both parties.

Donald Trump reportedly requested a group of about 30 black students to be removed from his rally in Georgia Monday night. The students, who were standing silently at the top of the bleachers, were visibly upset as they were escorted out by Secret Service agents at Valdosta State University, the Des Moines Register reports. “They said, 'This is Trump’s property; it’s a private event.' But I paid my tuition to be here," said Tahjila Davis, 19. At a separate event at Radford University in Virginia, a group of black students were removed from Trump's campaign rally after they chanted, "No more hate! No more hate! Let's be equal, let's be great!"

TV coverage showed something different.

Seems the Reporter also called the {Black}Secret Service Agent something choice, wonder what it was?

Believe?

Tune into CNN, they have been endlessly repeating it all day and I doubt if they are finished with it.

Amid Trump surge, nearly 20,000 Mass. voters quit Democratic party | Boston Herald

Saw this, no idea if it is just another drive by or has validity. But I think we have some members in the area.
