Nancy Reagan just passed away
I wonder how many candidates are going to drop some "Reagan" references the next few days.....
I think the only thing that I like about social media when people die is that all of these gems all pop up at onceQuote:

And I wonder if that loser is lurking
Edit: pictures are gone, but first one was Nate Silver looking like the biggest geek ever and the 2nd picture was him playing in the wsop
When I see so many people on social media, posting non stop bashing of other candidates, including ridiculous memes, flat out lies and absurd commentary, it pushes me even further away from THEIR candidates because it reeks of desperation. They should just state positives about their candidate and leave it at that, but it turns into insanity, and they start proclaiming to unfriend them if you vote for certain people. These people sound like loons.
I'm as much of a fan of such violence as I am of this kind:Quote:

Also: Is there a "justification" for violence? In the defense of the innocence, yes. But if your acquantenance fucked with the wrong kind of people, regardless of their legal status, he brought it upon himself. Meaning, he wasn't likely an innocent person who was a victim of the violence of some "illegals".Quote:

Rubio wins Puerto Rico today as expected. Pretty big blowout though.
yuuuuuge win! looking like he's gonna get all the delegates because he crossed the 50% threshold, which i believe is the first time that's happened any of the republican primaries/caucuses in 2016. think he'll end up with 23 delegates which is more delegates. was kind of surprised to see that puerto rico awards more total delegates than new hampshire. obviously this is a yuuuuuge help to rubio's campaign after yesterday's disaster, but it's not like 23 delegates is going to make a much of a dent in the deficit between him and the top 2.Quote:

"Puerto Rico, which has roughly 3.7 million residents, could help Mr.
Rubio in his home state’s primary. More than one million Puerto Ricans live in
Florida, concentrated most heavily around Orlando, and many were closely
watching their island’s contest Sunday."

"The GOP’s Primary Rules Might Doom Carson, Cruz And Trump
By DAVID WASSERMAN
In a few months, after Iowa and New Hampshire begin to winnow the field, the GOP nomination race could boil down to an epic final between a candidate with a more pragmatic image, such as Marco Rubio, Carly Fiorina or Jeb Bush, and a more conservative one, such as Ted Cruz, Ben Carson or Donald Trump.1
If that happens, the moderate finalist — like Mitt Romney and John McCain before him or her — will have a hidden structural advantage: the party’s delegate math and geography.
There are plenty of reasons to be cautious of national polls that show Trump and Carson leading. They may fail to screen out casual voters, for instance, and leaders at this point in past years have eventually tanked. But perhaps the biggest reason to ditch stock in these polls is that they’re simulating a national vote that will never take place.
In reality, the GOP nominating contest will be decided by an intricate, state-by-state slog for the 2,472 delegates at stake between February and June. And thanks to the Republican National Committee’s allocation rules, the votes of “Blue Zone” Republicans — the more moderate GOP primary voters who live in Democratic-leaning states and congressional districts — could weigh more than those of more conservative voters who live in deeply red zones. Put another way: The Republican voters who will have little to no sway in the general election could have some of the most sway in the primary.
As The New York Times’ Nate Cohn astutely observed in January, Republicans in blue states hold surprising power in the GOP presidential primary process even though they are “all but extinct in Washington, since their candidates lose general elections to Democrats.” This explains why Republicans have selected relatively moderate presidential nominees while the party’s members in Congress have continued to veer right.
The key to this pattern: “Blue-state Republicans are less religious, more moderate and less rural than their red-state counterparts,” Cohn concluded after crunching Pew Research survey data. By Cohn’s math, Republicans in states that Obama won in 2012 were 15 percentage points likelier to support Romney in the 2012 primary and 9 points likelier to support McCain in 2008 than their red-state compatriots. Romney and McCain’s advantage in blue states made it “all but impossible for their more conservative challengers to win the nomination,” Cohn wrote.
Blue-state Republicans have already propelled moderates in the 2016 money chase. According to Federal Election Commission filings, donors in the 18 states (plus Washington, D.C.) that have voted Democratic in every presidential election since 1992 have accounted for 45 percent of Rubio’s total itemized contributions, 45 percent of Bush’s, 53 percent of Fiorina’s and 85 percent of Chris Christie’s. By contrast, they’ve provided just 20 percent of Cruz’s contributions and 36 percent of Carson’s. For comparison, blue-state Republicans cast just 37 percent of all votes in the 2012 GOP primaries.2
But their real mojo lurks in the delegate chase. The electorate that nominates GOP presidential candidates is much bluer than the ones that nominate other GOP officials, a distinction that is almost impossible to overstate. Look at where the Republican Party lives: Only 11 of 54 GOP senators and 26 of 247 GOP representatives hail from Obama-won locales, but there are 1,247 delegates at stake in Obama-won states, compared with just 1,166 in Romney states.
What’s more, an imbalance lies in a nuance of the RNC’s delegate allocation. Although it can be a byzantine process, here are the basics: The RNC allows state parties some leeway in how to award delegates to candidates. In a few states, including Florida, Ohio and Arizona, the primary winner wins all the state’s delegates. In most others, delegates are allocated either proportionally to votes or by the winner in each congressional district.
A total of 832 delegates (about 34 percent of all 2,472 delegates) spanning 23 states will be awarded based on results at the congressional district level. Here’s the catch: According to the RNC’s allotment rules, three delegates are at stake in each district, regardless of the partisan lopsidedness of the seat. This creates a “rotten boroughs” phenomenon in which Blue Zone Republicans’ votes can be disproportionately valuable.
For example, three delegates are up for grabs in New York’s heavily Latino, Bronx-based 15th District, which cast just 5,315 votes for Romney in 2012. But there are also three delegates at stake in Alabama’s 6th District, which covers Birmingham’s whitest suburbs and gave Romney 233,803 votes. In other words, a GOP primary vote cast in the bluest part of the Bronx could be worth 43 times more than a vote cast in the reddest part of Alabama."
