    Such polls as have been done, and of course there will be many more now, show Trump ahead of Rubio in Florida by between 7 and 20 points. Can't think of anything that happened yesterday to turn that around.
    Stopping Trump on the convention floor is a fantasy. My opinion of Trump voters is not high, but if he has amassed the most delegates through the primary process and the party takes the nomination away from him on the floor, those voters are going to be mad as hell and deserve to be. That scenario, BTW, is exactly what happened in the Roosevelt-Taft race in 1912 and led TR to run the Bull Moose third party.

    Wrong. It'll be more "evidence" to his jerkoff supporters that he's the only guy who can put the uppity n*****s back in their place, and they'll rally around him even more.

    People have to stop operating under the assumption that Trump supporters stand for anything but perpetual hatred. Treating black people like they do in that video is EXACTLY how they want America to be.

    I am the only Democrat in my family, except for a renegade (not really) grad student nephew. The rest are quite literally country club Republicans, people who side with the party because it looks to the interests of people of means, which they are, but who don't give a damn about so-called "social" issues. And I wonder what they are thinking now, because if they won't vote for Trump (they might), he's losing within a bloc Republicans must have in any November.

    A local NPR affiliate had two local pundits on to discuss the Super Tuesday results. The Republican one claimed Trump underperformed last night. He won 'only ' 7 states and the margins weren't as good as predicted. Seems like wishcasting.

    The Warriors are only beating opponents by 11 points a game this season ...

    How did you manage to be the only non-successful member of your family?

    I think a Steph Curry endorsement would be great for Trump.

    It was easy. I picked sportswriting as a career. To show how perverse human nature is, the other members of my family envied me tremendously for it.

    So much wishcasting going on out there:

    Which candidates will blink? Carson and Kasich should -- Kasich, especially, as he is strictly selfish to hang on until Ohio.

    I looked at Virginia and Georgia last night because those states are the most "in play" for November. Trump still won.

    Generally, Trump breaks 40 percent in the states that are always in the 40s on state public education rankings.

    Cruz is just a smidge less divisive than Trump is. I'm hoping for a Rubio vs Trump showdown by March 15 but that's just not going to happen.
