Wow! That's some funny stuff, there.

"
He said this week on the trail that Trump is a sure loser in November as nominee, such that a vote for Trump in the primary is a vote for Hillary Clinton in November. Then, last night, he said he’d support Trump as nominee because … that’s the only way to beat Hillary in November. W-w-what?"

jehzsaWith all the talk about a brokered convention, I wanted to get a feel about how things were going.
http://www.businessinsider.com...michigan-ohio-2016-3Trump leads in Florida and Ohio. Ohio is surprising.
Florida much less so. Actually, the past two elections have been won by a Gentleman who some consider a Trump clone.
Oh yeah, like no one noticed the similarity before...

Former neurosurgeon Ben Carson dropped out the 2016 presidential race Friday, days after declaring there was “no political path forward” for his campaign.

I'm not sure, but has anyone else been hearing rumors that the good doctor will be endorsing Trump?
They seemed to get along well. Of course, Carson got along with everyone. Though maybe he was a bit pissed at Cruz.

If Dr. Carson endorses a candidate, "out of courtesy" the delegates follow.
If no endorsement, come convention time they will vote for Dr. Carson on the first ballot. By the second ballot they are free to vote their conscience.
Something like that. Rules vary.

That's if he drops out of the race. Might be different rules if he merely suspended. The states make the rules.

Hard to hear him here:

Really strange but somehow it takes some of the sting of 2012 away. (I know that doesn't make logical sense. IF I could magically turn back time and have Romney elected in 2012 I would do it. It is just that the image of Romney as such an honorable and classy individual is now tarnished for me)
Romney is saying screw the voters, we elites will pick the candidate.
Not at all. Not at all. He is urging party faithful to consider very carefully how this is playing out.
I don't fear a brokered convention, if it comes to that. With all the primaries and voter inputs, there is no way a candidate can be rammed down our throats like in the good old days, except in one circumstance, the party voters are divided such that no candidate can gain the necessary delegates. Then, leadership has to assess and suggest. The delegates have to choose.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown March 04, 2016, 07:10 PM
Iron bottomI just got an idea how that's going to turn out.

TubetoneMegyn Kelly's Errant Allegation
Something did not add up at the debate about Trump University. Megyn Kelly stated that Trump counter-sued the plaintiff with Trump losing hundreds of thousand in an attorney fee award. Megyn Kelly also argued the following to Trump: “Here is what the court of Appeals found: The plaintiffs against you are like the Madoff victims.”
Megyn Kelly’s statements are apparently false. I looked up the case - decided by the Ninth Circuit in 2013. The instance was not a counter-suit. It was an Anti-SLAPP motion to dismiss the case. I don’t want to lose non-lawyers in the weeds here.
An Anti-SLAPP motion is used to stop a meritless action short of trial and discovery. The motion is filed within a short number of weeks after a defendant is served. The appellate court in reviewing the grant or denial of that motion accepts the allegations of the complaint to ask, in essence, in the best case scenario, should this case end here or should it go to discovery and trial? The court does not decide the facts of the case. In California, there is a strong preference for cases being decided on the merits after each party has had discovery. So, the motion before the court was a procedural effort to end the case without discovery and trial. It was not a counter-suit.
If one loses in their effort to end the case before it really gets going under the SLAPP statute, the loser could be made to pay the attorney fees of the winning party. Back when the motion was filed in the Trump case, California’s Anti-SLAPP motion was and still is ill defined. Adventurous attorneys were stretching the bounds of that motion quite a lot. It was common for attorneys to threaten the motion to dissuade less than certain litigants.
The court did not find what Kelly alleged. She stated that the court “found” that “[t]he plaintiffs against you are like the Madoff victims.” The court found no such thing. Her phrase is not in the opinion anywhere. It is no surprise because in an Anti-SLAPP motion such facts are not “found” as Megyn alleged in her cross examination of Trump. She made it up. She inferred. She advocated her dislike of Trump.
Megyn Kelly is an attorney. Now, it seems to me that she was either malpractice-level incompetent or was so out to get Trump that she did not tell the truth from the case she cited. It looks like another “gotcha” effort and I do not believe it was just an oversight. Megyn Kelly wanted to tell almost 17 million people that Trump was “found” by a court to be a huckster like Bernie Madoff. Her assertion is false from my point of view and from what the court stated. Megyn Kelly’s assertion was not even in step with what the appellate court does when reviewing an Anti-SLAPP motion.
Many in the media and otherwise have accepted Kelly’s narrative with no examination. But, she is advocating to dump Trump and she made up some opposition research as she left her role as a moderator to work as an undercutting advocate against Trump – at least that’s my view. The case was decided on 4-17-13 and the opinion can be found
HERE. The pertinent language is on pages 31-33.
The underlying case, I believe, is now proceeding on its merits and depositions are to be had. Trump states that many plaintiffs are already bailing on the case.

MRBTXSummary page of state by state republican delegates. Don't know anything about the org/person this comes from, but it seems to give a concise breakdown of those remaining. Glad I don't live in Colorado, that process has a bad smell to it.

Which alternative, Mitt? Surely not Cruz. He is as "anti-establishment," in his own, different way, as Trump. That only leaves yourself or one of the other jerkoffs.

usmc-navThank you Tubetone for your reply. It is amazing what can pass as truth.

justjoeMeanwhile, Glenn Beck wishes he could stab Donald Trump-- repeatedly. "It would never stop." I think Beck is literally certifiable, but he never goes quite over the edge. I occasionally listen to his radio show-- for about 5 minutes at a time-- and he is surrounded by these guys who are an amen corner. No matter what Beck says-- no matter how delusional, how preposterous-- you hear them in the background "Yep" "That's right!" But it goes quiet after Beck says that he wishes he could stab Trump, if he could just get close enough to him.
