    Re: Trump to win?

    I've seen another flip for Bernie. I think the problem lies with whoever said there were only six coin tosses. There were at least 8.

      If we can't even get the number of coin tosses straight a day later, how in the hell can we trust anything else? What a mess.

        We can't. Too close to call means "stand by while we jigger the results." It's the 21st Century's "Box 13," this coin toss.

        The party insiders are going to the mattress. It's their thing and nobody outside the families gets to play.

          Maybe we should flip coins.

            I know Scott Adams is fond of his idea that Trump is unbeatable, (Iowa aside one supposes), but if he's running against Clinton he'll have to win by a reasonable amount or the folks that run the elections will appoint her and voters won't even care. Look what happened to Gore and he's almost in the club except for that whole global warming is destroying the earth nonsense that big oil had to stop. What better than putting one of their guys in office. Supreme Court, make it so. What was GRG saying about Americans and our love of conspiracy? It's possible Bush actually won but we'll never know because our Supreme kangaroo court disallowed it.

                The MSM is busy grooming the next generation of white ruling class Anderson Coopers. Notice that in the shot captured in your post there is a young southern white woman shaming a young southern black woman and not understanding that she is Jim Crow incarnate. It's sad that a young black woman doesn't understand the Civil War but equally as sad that a young white woman doesn't understand what she's promoting. At what point do Americans begin to support each other and stop viewing each other as "the other". This is a 6th Century Shia vs. Sunni conflict. That hasn't worked out well for them and I don't think it will work out well for us.

                  I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if this video did not select for the least educated responses. That said, I'd be curious if the results would be any better if they had interviewed students who are majoring in one of the more difficult majors: physics, mathematics, engineering, etc. instead of psychology, sports, basket weaving, etc.

                  Or maybe this is just the result of a watered-down primary school system that doesn't want to hurt anybody's feelings and thus fails no one and doesn't teach facts that might upset people. I'm utterly speechless that these college students found a way to *not* know that the U.S. won its independence from England and that the Confederacy lost the American Civil War. Even worse, some of the students didn't even know the two warring sides of the American Civil War.

                  If the U.S. is going to throw a lot of taxpayer money to make college education free or highly affordable, it's going to have to be ruthless in denying free college for the stupid and uneducated and make absolutely no exceptions. Even though little to none of my tax dollars are going to Texas Tech, the video made me a little angry.

                    My grandmother tells stories of the "voting" in the dementia ward when she was in a nursing home for recuperation from hip surgery.

                    There is nothing wrong with having common sense restrictions on voting. Or at least try to reduce the outright fraud. It's just ridiculous to allow one orderly vote for the entire wing of a dementia unit.

                      This is funny. Actually, I think it is proof of only one thing - only stupid people answer questions when approached on the street by someone with a microphone.

                      I remember the moment I entered college, the outside world, to a point, ceased to exist. Maybe it was all of the tough engineering courses, late nights, and other pursuits....it doesn't surprise me though that young adults don't know who Joe Biden is.

                      Not knowing the other answers? That's sad. And who the heck even knows the Brad Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston! Isn't that ancient history for a 21 year old?

                        It seems to me that Trump will win more delegates than any other candidate but not more than 50% of the delegates. His first job will be to mend fences with the party and at the same time, scare the party with the possibility of a 3rd party run. If he can't do that, they'll broker the convention. And while fun to watch, it's going to be ugly.

                        In another twist, Mark Cuban says he'd run with Trump. Could Trump / Cuban beat both the Dems and Republicans if they run Rubio and Clinton?

                          Doesn't this split the conservative vote and hand the election to Clinton?

                          The only way a third party wins is to run as a moderate, independent party that paints the Democrats and Republicans as the elitist, special interest, radicals they are and stresses the anger the public has against both.

                            Word on the street is the third party moderate is going to be Bloomberg. He will fail spectacularly, although he may just mess with the numbers enough that people will argue he handed the election to whoever wins.

                              Is Bloomberg a moderate?

                              I am under the impression that he will only run for president if Hillary Clinton does not win the Democrat nomination. That is, he's perfectly happy with an establishment (preferably Democrat) presidential candidate strongly favored to win.
