Re: Super Tuesday
Yah...well the GOP will fall in line. They will have to accept the new brand. Never underestimate just how stupid we Americans can be. I am personally mortified.

It's Obama who has the artificial jerky way of talking that reminds one of Hitler, and who exercises a form of totalitarianism by threatening to impose his will on the entire country without regard to Congress or popular opinion. And it's Hillary Clinton who followed Saul Alinsky, whose Rules for Radicals advise personal attack to shut up dissent to leftist policies. Hitler forced gun registration on the Jews and then confiscated their guns. It's the Left who would do that here. And the tone here is quite personal too, all about the supposed faults of one sort of people, which is a very Hitlerian attitude. Wait and see who the true Hitler is. It isn't Trump.

It is now 8:48PM EST 3-1-2016. Is there anymore doubt that it will be Hillary vs Trump in the general?

I'm watching Trump's speech right now. Behind him is Chris Christie, his new apprentice. The rule of 2 is in full effect here: A master to embody the power, and an apprentice to crave it.

Texas
Well, Cruz beat Trump by about half, but that's not really a surprising result given that Cruz is a Texan. Hillary beat the brakes off Sanders. Overall, it looks more and more likely that my nightmare scenario will come true. And choosing between Trump and Clinton is a little bit like choosing between Gonorrhea and Syphilis.

Results For Stupor Tuesday
I think your scenario is likely to play out. It really saddens me that so many self proclaimed christians support Trump---whether openkly or closeted. It just goes to prove that in reality, many US Christians worship Patriotism(nationalism) and Money.

I think you really should read some history, from a valid source. The gun laws were tightened up by the Weimar Republic. Hitler loosened up the gun laws, but only to 'ordinary German Citizens' (which did not count, the Jew, gypsies, or Homosexuals).

There's barely a semblance remaining of the original Christian message. The other thing it highlights is how the collective will ultimately disavow their conscience so long as it appears that this candidate can beat an even more despised candidate (the lesser of two evils)

Minnesota Caucus numbers
Republicans - 113 of 126 districts reported: MARCO RUBIO 36.57% 36.24%TED CRUZ 28.74% 29.04%DONALD J. TRUMP 21.37% 21.41%Number Attending Caucuses-Republican : 100777 114230 Democrats - 64 of 121 districts reported: BERNIE SANDERS 60.70% 61.08%HILLARY CLINTON 38.55% 38.11%Number Attending Caucuses-Democratic-Farmer-Labor : 86796 186646 I'm guessing that the more rural districts are the ones yet to come in (or maybe it's the large urban districts, that take more counting time???). My little caucus was, of 15 votes, Bernie 13 (86.7%), Hillary 2 (13.3%). Moose Will try to update this message tomorrow (final numbers in red).

I'm still trying to figure out how it works. https://www.washingtonpost.com/...elegate-tracker/republican The Texas GOP is supposed to send 155 delegates to the national convention according to the rules of the GOP. With 100% of the votes reported Cruz got 57 delegates and Trump got 20. No other candidate got any. What happens to the rest of the Texas delegates? Edited by Pressie, : No reason given.
