Good evening...

[Windflier]

Howdy howdy...

[DoughtyOne]

Hi. Didn’t get time to add Romney in yet...

“:^)

[DoughtyOne]

It will be about eight months before I have any free time.

Best Primary season EVER!

Just think about this. ALL the GOPE canidates are out or capzised and sinking.

I never thought I would see the day again when the PEOPLE, not the money, picked the nominee.

This should be a time of great joy for this website.

Cruz and Trump are a perfect tsunami for our team. Cruz fires up the base, Trump can attract the cross over and indy voter who normally go Democrat.

If one or the other wins, without eliminating that bridge to the other side, Nov should be the best GOP year in decades. It potentially could be better even then 1980 since we did not get the US House in 1980.

[DoughtyOne]

We are destroying the GOPe so far. I think we have a chance to change the whole game going forward.

What’s more, the GOPe agrees with me, and are proving it every day. They are terrified of Trump. Anything is better than him, even Hillary Clinton. The same crime family back in the White House, and that’s just peachy as long as Trump isn’t there.

It’s the North American Union, the open borders, and all that big money talking.

Trump tosses that in the trash bin and they know it.

D E S E P E R A T I O N !

This guy is our best gift in decades, just as you say.

[DoughtyOne]

And yes, best political year in my lifetime...

[Windflier]

Cruz up three percentage points over a couple of days back. Looks like a mini rally. Probably due to Ted’s decent weekend.

Now come the truly tough states. We’ll see how he does from here on out, but the numbers don’t look hopeful.

[Windflier]

Hee hee...

You probably won’t get time to get him in tomorrow, either :-)

[Windflier]

“It will be about eight months before I have any free time.”

I’m certain you won’t!

LOL

[DoughtyOne]

I think I’ll be busy eating some potato chips around that time in the day. I try to stick to my schedule at my age. LOL

[DoughtyOne]

“:^)

Yes, it saddens me...

[Windflier]

I’d suggest you write a short note of apology to Mitt, but with your busy snacking schedule and all, I’m sure it’s out of the question.

Man, I really feel for you :-(

[DoughtyOne]

I probably should. Right now March of 2017 is looking good...

Cruz up three percentage points over a couple of days back. Looks like a mini rally. Probably due to Ted’s decent weekend.

38 Cruz votes on Saturday, 59 on Sunday. It will be interesting to see how many are voting on Wednesday. It seems like a little adversity really dampens their enthusiasm.

Michigan primary this Tuesday.

59 delegates apportioned by per centage of the vote. Trump at close to 37 %, Cruz at close to 20, hard to say how this breaks with Kasich going at it.

Trump may out perform the polls, not sure how the GOPe war will affect it yet.

My guess is he gets at least 37%, and possibly more. Hard to say how the others will do, still fluid. Michigan blue collar (R)'s love Trump.
