Remember what Jim said.

Either Cruz or Trump is preferable to Hitlery.

That was funny. One second I’m looking at it’s 9% counted, the next second it’s 100% counted.

May, those ME counters work fast.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall in those smoke-filled backrooms of the GOP establishment right now. "TAKING OUT DONALD TRUMP DID NOT MEAN HANDING VICTORIES TO TED F***ING CRUZ!!!"

The establishment is not having a very good night.

Ted kicks it in caucus states. Looking forward to KY and LA.

Kentucky is winner take all, is that right?

Actually it was at 9% for a long time, then 45% for a long time and then 100%.

So I would say that they count slowly and update sporadically.

CNN cut live to the head of the Maine Republican Party reading the results. Cruz got 3 more delegates than Trump.

Isn’t there a pic anywhere that Ted doesn’t look as though he’s passing a kidney stone? or constipated?

No, that would be a plurality. TDS is eating away at your ability to think, Charles. I know you’re better than this.

12 is more than half of 23, and thus a majority.

Trump is at 22 delegates in LA. I don’t know if he gets additional delegates there, but as of now he would be at 59, barely under the number I had for him to stay ahead of pace. If he gets just six extra delegates in LA or TN before the end of the night, it’s in fact a huge win despite the Cruzbots’ claims about ME and KS.
