Our backs are against the wall, fellow Conservatives! Let the games begin...
Texas will be the big state to win and this is Cruz's state, so he should win. But all bets are off.
Fun Fact - All of today's primaries are proportional, not winner-take-all. So if Trump does win 49%, he will still only get 49% of the delegates.

And now it begins. I will keep updating, but if you live in any of these states, let's us know how it's going.
Until then, share your thoughts.
I live in Alabama, of course,
ReplyDeleteGeorge Kennedy has died. RIP
ReplyDeleteColorado here. Home of NORAD and the World Champion Denver Broncos. So far, nothing to report. Although, I have heard of a rumor that Trump and Hillary are planning to have a love child in the hopes that it can run for President in 2050. It will be an albino hermaphrodite with an afro made of teddy-bear hair and an enthusiasm for shoplifting from toilet plunger shops. They're planning to call it Trillary.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe, I read that wrong.
Will Trillary inherit Trump's short, sausage fingers?
ReplyDeleteI'm no geneticist, but I would say there's a 99.97% likelihood of that.
ReplyDeleteGeorgia resident here ready to do my part to stop the madness for whatever good it ultimately ends up doing.
ReplyDelete- Daniel
Florida isn't up yet but, as an Independent, I can't vote in the primary... so f--- 'em! :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd this is old news but The Daily Beast did a story on the somewhat incestuous relationship between Trump and Breitbart. They truly are psychopaths and I'm reminded of the Wild One line: "What are you rebelling against?" "Whaddaya got?"
And re: George Kennedy, he has one of my favorite lines in The Naked Gun. Ted, the police scientist, demonstrates his latest gizmo by shooting a dart at Ed (Kennedy), who simply cries out, "Ted... why?!" On the DVD commentary, the filmmakers joke that the line took an entire weekend to write: "The 'Ted' was on Saturday."
Scott, I knew him first from those movies, but later I came to realize that he had a pretty vast career doing westerns and tough guy films. He was in a ton of stuff, including Cool Hand Luke, The Dirty Dozen, several disaster films, and one of the Magnificent Seven remakes. He was a solid, versatile and likable actor.
ReplyDeleteGeorge Kennedy was a superb actor. I enjoyed his movie and tv work. RIP
ReplyDeleteAs for Super Tuesday Specials: I will have the tacos. Oops! I hope that doesn't offend the anti-Hispanic fringe...not. :)
We're surrounded; that makes it easier.-"Chesty" Puller
ReplyDeleteThe relationship between Trump & Breitbartai ain't nearly as icky as the one between Trump & Hannity.
ReplyDeleteCritch,
ReplyDeleteNice quote. :)
New York State Primary is April 19...I still don't get to vote. Our primaries are closed.
ReplyDeleteAndrew - I was wondering when you would bring the World Champion Denver Broncos up. I applaud your restrain up until now...;-)
ReplyDeleteI think that Trillary would probably turn out to be something like MonkeyDogBaby...
ReplyDeleteBev, lol, or RabidMoonbatBoar.
ReplyDeleteBev,
ReplyDeleteYou mean PuppyMonkeyBaby. That abomination.
By the way, Trump is the only candidate, besides Kasich, who loses to Hillary in the polls.
ReplyDeleteKit - Yeah, okay, PuppyMonkeyBaby, it gives me nightmares either way. ;-pbpbpbpbpbp
ReplyDeleteThough I like Allena's RabidMoonbatBoar!
I'll just be waiting to see who is left for me to pick between. It could be worse. Nebraska could vote after California. Actually, that sounds like an idea the state bigwigs would get behind. Maybe I should pitch it. "Nebraska: Last in the Nation!"
ReplyDeleteDid someone say it was Taco Tuesday? Where are my pants?
ReplyDeleteLife-long Denver Bronco fan here.
ReplyDeleteYou learn to not get too excited as you never know when the next SB blow out may occur and frankly I'm still stunned that they won. We are all now on the Manning death watch. Will he leave? Will he retire? Will he continue to see Buicks and Pappa Johns Pizza? As a college player, did he really slap his junk in the trainers face? Do we care?
Nikki Haley to @realDonaldTrump on Twitter: "Bless your heart."
ReplyDeleteNow for anyone who has an ounce of Southern blood, you will know that this is the ultimate Southern put-down. Just so you understand that is so not what she meant...
Koshcat and Allena - Yes, tacos will be served shortly.
ReplyDeleteWell, I just got done casting my vote for Rubio, though I don't know how much good it'll do. Georgia typically doesn't pick good candidates and last time I checked the overall polls it was still on board the Trump love train (wreck). Nice jab on Haley's part in any case, though!
ReplyDelete- Daniel
Oops, I should have added what prompted Nikki Haley:
ReplyDelete@realDonaldTrump: The people of South Carolina are embarrassed by Nikki Haley!
@nikkihaley: Bless your heart.
Now that's how a Southern lady does it.
George Lopez (a Bernie supporter) is a crazy, vicious dude. He recently tweeted a photoshop of Trump decapitated by a drug lord.
ReplyDeleteI never was a fan, but in his movies and tv show he came across as a decent guy. One would think Cosby would have taught me how little public persona means, but I am apparently a slow learner :/ .
http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2016/03/01/george-lopez-tweets-gruesome-photo-el-chapo-beheading-trump/
Comedian George Lopez tweeted an image that shows Mexican drug kingpin Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán holding the severed head of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
On Feb. 27, the Mexican-American actor and comedian, who has been a vocal critic of Trump’s candidacy, tweeted a gruesome photo showing the infamous drug lord standing on a mound of human skulls and money carrying Trump’s head.
Correction, it isn't a photoshop, its art.
ReplyDeleteAnthony - George Lopez divorced his wife of 17 yrs. even after she donated on of her kidneys to him for a life saving transplant. That tells me what kind of person he is. I hope he isn't revealed as some closet conservative - I don't advocate murder even of Donald Trump.
ReplyDeleteForward, backward, inward, outward
ReplyDeleteCome and join the chase
Nothing could be drier
Than a jolly caucus race
Backward, forward, outward, inward
Bottom to the top
Never a beginning,
There can never be a stop
To skipping, hopping, tripping fancy free and gay
Started it tomorrow
But will finish yesterday
'Round and 'round and 'round we go
Until forevermore
For once we were behind
But now we find we are be-
Foreward, backward, inward, outward
Come and join the chase
Nothing could be drier
Than a jolly caucus race!
Unsurprisingly and unfortunately Georgia was just called for Trump. Sorry for my state's stupidity everyone.
ReplyDelete- Daniel
Don't forget Kennedy's great villain in the latter seasons of Dallas. Peyton is huge in Tenn and Knoxville. The woman who made the complaint was a standing joke among the staff at the News Sentinel. Just a hate filled rant machine whose story has changed at least twice. Voted today, took 40 minutes
ReplyDeleteDanial - We hold you personally responsible...not.
ReplyDeleteTJed - that whole Peyton Manning thing sounds like a 19 yr old prank gone wrong. Seriously, it doesn't sound like he was intentionally sexually assaulting anyone. He was mooning a friend and she got in the way. I like Peyton Manning and I don't understand the reason why there is such an effort to tear him down.
ReplyDeleteKoshcat - Love it!
ReplyDeleteTrump takes Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. I'm too afraid to look any further.
ReplyDeleteMedia loves to go after a target lie Peyton, plus the whole obsession with rape culture. It is the kind of thing for which they love to jump to conclusions. That said, I don't deny that a lot of major Colleen football players think they can do anything, but Manning hardly fits that narrative
ReplyDeleteCruz won Texas, Rubio might, might win Minnesota.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is wondering if Rubio's slams on Trump hurt Trump.
ReplyDeleteTake note: In some of the friendliest territory Trump will face, he has trouble going over 40%.
Anyway, some thoughts on the current election season, from Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt:
ReplyDelete"Do you know the world is a foul sty? Do you know if you rip the fronts off houses you'd find swine? The world's a hell. What does it matter what happens in it?"
And borrowing from Krauthammer back on Jan 22: "I've upped the wine, women and song because I really need solace right now."
ReplyDeleteSo, what now? I'm at a loss as to how things might turn around.
ReplyDelete- Daniel
Only good news: Trump underperformed everywhere.
ReplyDeleteHe won VT and Virginia by a hair. (Congrats, John Kasich)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Buzzed might now be a more reliable news source than Fox News.
ReplyDeleteMorning folks. Sorry there's no article. The magic dust that covers children and which eats time got me last night and I didn't get home until late.
ReplyDeleteThree things bothered me last night:
ReplyDelete1. Trump should not have won Massachusetts.
2. Trump should not have won Vermont.
3. While Rubio won Minnesota, he under-performed and the fringe over-performed.
BTW, Trump just "Bushed" conservatism. If you will recall, HW Bush obnoxiously talked about creating a kinder gentler conservatism, which implied that conservatism was uncaring -- a charge the left lobbed at us ever since.
ReplyDeleteLast night, Trump just said, "I'm a conservative, but a common sense conservative". He thereby implies that conservatism is generally not a common sense belief. Let's hope this gets overlooked because that would be obnoxious to deal with.
At this juncture, I am quite convinced that the Trump supporters are the real low-information voters. How else can they not be aware that Trump is the only GOP candidate that polls worse than Hillary? They are obviously the ones living in their own Trump echo chamber.
ReplyDeleteCruz publicly asked his GOP rivals to "prayerfully consider" uniting their campaigns. Of course he means behind himself. But at this point, I'd take it. I could fill in the bubble ('cuz that's how we do here) beside Cruz/Rubio. I don't expect such a move from Rubio prior to Florida, but maybe afterward.
That said, if Trump loses the nom, he's gonna run third party. You know he is. Which means he's gonna peel off the same bunch of idiots.
tryanmax, Trump's supporters are throwing a tantrum and I don't think they care what Trump is. All they care about is that he upsets people. "Ha ha he made fun of that guy!" And they will be the first ones whining when President Trump does all the thing they though he wouldn't -- amnesty, raise taxes, cronyism, expands Obamacare, expands gay rights, environmentalism and unionism.
ReplyDeleteIn democracy, the public generally gets what it deserves... good and hard.
We vote in March, I'm almost certain I will for Kasich, assuming he's still in the race.
ReplyDeleteHere are the details of the votes from yesterday:
ReplyDeleteRESULTS FROM SUPER TUESDAY
Sorry, I can't find a graphic to put above...
Andrew,
ReplyDeleteAt least a few of Trump's supporters voters are former Obama supporters. The white Democrats.
