So Jeb has one delegate, and O'Malley has one delegate. Seems that could be the start of something…

I honestly felt sorry for him. He would say one thing that might look kinda bad if you took one line out of context and get analyzed to shreds. Meanwhile Trump thinks it would be awesome for the economy if we just defaulted on US bonds, and people shrug.

We should ask anyhow. Like, normally I just care about taxes, but since they brought it up…

As soon as you're actively trying to control something, whether you do it yourself is fair game. (Remember how Duggar Junior hadn't thought to open his Ashley Madison account under a fake name?)

Those who track such things online say the ISIL types are very excited about Trump, because he would be super easy to goad into a land war in Asia.

What would "bust" entail in this circumstance?

The modern version of "rigged" in the US is "any time my candidate doesn't win that's proof it was rigged." It's so discouraging.

In terms of motivated voters 538 wisely pointed out the '91 LA gubernatorial election with David Duke: Despite speculation about how there were all these white voters who claimed to oppose the KKK but would then vote for Duke, they never materialized while black voters smashed turnout records.

It just gets weird if NY votes Trump for president and Booker for veep. In a close race, there's probably some map by which NY is the tipping state and the post-election-pre-EC-weeks turn into a vast tussle over whether the people getting sworn in next month are Hillary-Ivanka or Donald-Corey.

Colorado did it. You only get to vote in the Republican primary if you're a party activist. And it doesn't seem to mean the GOP thereby wrote off Colorado.

The only way the Rules Committee (R) or Superdelegates (D) ever overthrow the presumptive nominee is for a John Edwards level of scandal. It only works if most of that person's voters now want them off the ticket, and Trump is nowhere near there.

I give the base full credit for setting up Cruz as the Anyone But Trump alternative. That was brilliant.

Sasse is skipping the convention to—I swear this is his office's official communication on the subject—take his children to look at dumpster fires across Nebraska.

The only reason I see him hesitating is that they would have to win without any electoral votes from NY. (A state's EC reps cannot vote for both president and veep from their own state, which is why Cheney for example became From Wyoming rather than From Texas.) Any rational observer figures the red map shouldn't be…

Hmm. A lot of states have sore loser laws, but do they apply if you're running for veep on the other party's ticket? I mean, you can lose the primary and then run for veep or lieutenant governor with no problem. Does it matter if you're veep of the party you started with back in April?

Damn it, people, THIS is why you need to turn out in those off-year elections! The people elected then actually do get to do things that affect the presidential elections.

Also, Mormons have an understandable hesitation to embrace someone talking like he wants to round up religious minorities and put them in camps.

Yay on Dark Matter! Though I have to wait a few months for it to show up on Netflix. When it's on point, really good exploration of the idea of identity. Plus intriguing cliff-hanger ending.

As I recall, New Haven is an exemplar of actual Real America. In terms of reflecting various aspects of the nation as a whole in its demographics.
