Donald Trump

Great song, don't ya think? Check it out!

Yeah. Thanks for that! Those were heady times.

This actually makes me feel better. I was only 8 years old and have no recollection of this, but it is a bit reassuring to me that we can get past some pretty ugly stuff. We will again.

Makes me feel better that way as well. Those were tumultuous times, between the Civil Rights movement, the war, assassinations, Watergate. Never a dull moment, that's for sure. We'll figure it out....

Another good laugh. Jackie Gleason. Art Carney must have been sitting there in the original, lol. I decided to look at episodes of the old TV comedy, The Honeymooners, and found this as well...

Correction. Ralph's mother-In-law was there in the original.

SOCIALISM SUCKS!

I feel like the joke is almost over. I think the tide is turning and Trump is a front-running bag of hot air. His shtick isn't going to look good playing from behind.

I dunno about that. The northeast primaries are in the next 2-3 weeks - NY, CT, DE, MD, PA and RI - about 275 delegates. Right now Cruz is polling garbage in all of them - LOL, I saw this morning he's at about 15% in NY.

Kasich MAY take PA, otherwise I can see Trump winning the others.

Three of the six are proportional states, though, not winner-take-all, aren't they? https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/republican_delegate_count.html. And I read this morning that Trump has yet to break 50% in any state so far, even in his biggest victories. So he's going to probably get less than half the delegates from those three states. And two of the three that are winner-take-all have oddities about them that if I understand things correctly make it so that they are not TRULY winner-take-all (like, the winners are assigned at the local level rather than the state level).

So even if Trump wins all those states I doubt he will win the nomination outright.

Agreed - I think a contested election is almost inevitable at this point.

However, I think there is zero chance of Cruz getting the nomination outright and little chance of him over-taking Trump in the delegate lead.
