Death Impends 7,977 Posted March 11, 2016 It is interesting how Goldwater was the archetypal example of the GOP candidate who was too conservative to win, yet there were still a few regards (ie his loathing of the religious right and its chokehold on the party) in which he looks pretty sane in comparison to some of the folks in the running today!

YoungWillz 21,050 Posted March 12, 2016 Clinton screws up speaking about Nancy Reagan: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-35758163 Whilst I think it will be difficult for any Republican to exploit this, she's gone a long way to losing some states in forthcoming contests with Bernie imo.

RadGuy 1,614 Posted March 16, 2016 In Florida, about a third are reporting, while in North Carolina and Ohio, only a small percentage are reporting. Nothing yet from Missouri nor Illinois.

RadGuy 1,614 Posted March 16, 2016 Rubio dropped out. Kasich, on the other hand, succeeded in winning his home state. Meanwhile, it seems like Hillary might win ALL FIVE states. Missouri and Illinois still a bit too close to call. She has officially won in Florida, North Carolina, and Ohio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted March 16, 2016 It's always slightly pointless to be musing too deep about the numbers as they come in, better to wait until there are some definitive winners and losers of the night. With that in mind, and nearly all the results in here is the lay of the land on Super Tuesday Take 2: REPUBLICANS Florida - Trump 45.8% Rubio 27% Cruz 17.1% Kasich 6.8% State is winner-take-all so Trump receives all 99 delegates that Florida has to offer. Illinois - Trump 38.9% Cruz 30.5% Kasich 19.6% Rubio 8.5% Again, winner-take-all so Trump receives all 69 delegates. Ohio - Kasich 47.1% Trump 35.9% Cruz 13.9% Rubio 2.3% Winner-takes-all means Kasich receives all 66 delegates from his home state. North Carolina - Trump 40.3% Cruz 36.8% Kasich 12.7% Rubio 7.7% Delegates awarded proportionally so Trump gained 29 to Cruz's 26, Kasich 9 and Rubio 5. Missouri - Trump 40.8% Cruz 40.7% Kasich 10.1% Rubio 6.1% Delegates awarded by congressional district winner, plus 12 delegates awarded to the overall state winner. This means that despite winning by less than 2000 votes, Donald Trump is likely to pick up the vast majority of Missouri's 52 delegates. Total delegates awarded tonight: TRUMP 197 (+Missouri), KASICH 75, CRUZ 26, Rubio 5. DEMOCRATS All delegates awarded proportionally on the Democratic side. Florida - Clinton 64.5% Sanders 33.3% Hillary wins 124 delegates to Bernie's 60. Illinois - Clinton 50.3% Sanders 48.9% Hillary wins 68 to Bernie's 64. Ohio - Clinton 56.5% Sanders 42.8% Hillary wins 75 to Bernie's 54. North Carolina - Clinton 54.6% Sanders 40.8% Hillary wins 59 to Bernie's 42. Missouri - Clinton 49.6% Sanders 49.4% Delegate breakdowns not in yet, but based on the closeness of the result (Hillary winning by about 1500 votes) the delegates will almost certainly be virtually dead level. Total delegates awarded tonight: HILLARY 326, SANDERS 220 (both with Missouri to be added but margin will remain around 100 in Hillary's favour) So, what are the headlines from tonight? Marco Rubio is OUT of the race, having failed to win his home state of Florida. John Kasich passed his test to stay in the race by winning Ohio, his home state and the state where he is the current Governor. This means the Republican race is down to a three horse race between Trump, Cruz and Kasich. Trump has extended his lead in the delegate race, but by losing Ohio is now unlikely to make the 1237 delegates needed to win the nomination before the convention. He must win 60% of the remaining delegates to get there. Kasich will hope to receive Rubio's money and Rubio's votes, but whether those things are guaranteed and whether they mean he will be able to win states ahead of Cruz and Trump remains to be seen. He declared tonight he is going 'all the way to Cleveland', which is where the Republican convention is to be held, so it looks like he won't be dropping out. Cruz keeps talking about it being a two-man race but looks set not to win a single state tonight. On the Democratic side, Hillary seems like she's going to win all 5 contests tonight, and steady the slight shock last week of losing Michigan. Wins in Ohio and Illinois have reassured her camp that she can win in areas with more white, so-called 'blue collar' voters. A big win in Florida has further boosted her campaign. As of tonight, she has around a 300 delegate lead in terms of the 'pledged' delegates (those awarded by the states, not the so-called 'superdelegates' who can vote for whomever they like on the day) and it is seen that this is an insurmountable advantage, particularly as no contest on the Democratic side is 'winner-takes-all', making gaining big margins difficult. Realistically, tonight is the night that Hillary secured the nomination, although mathematically it could take a few more months yet. PLEASE NOTE: As of 5.30am UK Time, neither the Democratic or Republican races in Missouri have been called. With 99% of the votes in in both contests, Donald Trump leads Ted Cruz by 1726 votes and Hillary Clinton leads Bernie Sanders by 1531. There are literally a handful of votes to be counted but both contests seem to be virtual ties. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,614 Posted March 16, 2016 So, Trump stated that he won't go to the Fox Republican debate next week. Then Kasich said he won't go if Trump won't go. So Fox cancelled it. People are prolly gonna say that it's cause Trump is scared, but that's not true. Trump does fairly well in the debates. Kasich, on the other hand, probably was scared of going 1-on-1 with Cruz. However, we got a bigger problem. If Trump ain't scared, that means he's LAZY. Add "he's lazy" to the list of reasons Trump would make a terrible president.
