Super Tuesday is amongst us, and with comfortable leads in each state besides Texas, Trump is expected to have a great night. Will Cruz be able to hold Texas and get a victory in his home state, or does Trump effectively end Cruz campaign there. How will Rubio fair? Not expected to win any state he clearly is looking to finish 2nd in most states and get as many delegates as he can. Kaisch and Carson to the bushes already :camby:. On the Democratic side of things Hiliary has all the momentum coming into Tuesday. Can Bernie get the millennials out to vote this time. Can he close the gap with the african american vote? If not it could be lights out for my bruddah :mjcry:. All in all should be a great night tomorrow. All you coli brehs and brehettes in voting states get your ass out and vote :birdman:.




Super Tuesday: Here's What You Need To Know

A voter marks a ballot during the New Hampshire primary. So far just a small percentage of votes have been cast. But that changes after Super Tuesday.

Everyone's talking about "Super Tuesday," what it means and that it's such a big deal in this presidential campaign. But why? Here's a quick explainer. Think of it as a frequently asked questions for Super Tuesday:

What is Super Tuesday? It's when more states vote and more delegates are at stake than on any other single day in the presidential primary campaign.

Isn't it also called the SEC Primary? That's a colloquial term used by some. It refers to the collegiate athletic conference, the Southeastern Conference, known for its powerhouse football teams. Several states holding contests on Super Tuesday have teams that play in the SEC (Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas). But many others do not.

When is it? Tuesday, March 1

How many states are actually voting? 13, plus the territory of American Samoa and Democrats Abroad (expatriates who consider themselves Democrats). We will see results in only 12 of those states (11 for Democrats, 11 for Republicans), because Republicans in Wyoming and Colorado begin their caucuses that day but won't have a presidential preference poll.

Where will we see results? Alabama (R&D), Alaska (R only), American Samoa (D), Arkansas (R&D), Colorado (D), Georgia (R&D), Massachusetts (R&D), Minnesota (R&D), Oklahoma (R&D), Tennessee (R&D), Texas (R&D), Vermont (R&D) and Virginia (R&D), plus Democrats Abroad.

Other contests occurring on March 1, but not producing results: Wyoming (R) and Colorado (R). They are included on our calendar since Republican voters in those states will be starting the voting process that day.

How many delegates are up for grabs? 1,460 (865 for Democrats, 595 for Republicans). For Democrats, there are an additional 150 unpledged delegates, otherwise known as "superdelegates," in Super Tuesday states. They are free to vote however they want at the national convention this summer. With superdelegates added in, Super Tuesday represents 22 percent of all delegates.

How big is Super Tuesday? Forperspective, so far, only about 2 percent of the pledged Democratic delegates and 5 percent of the Republican delegates have been allocated. After Super Tuesday, that will jump to almost a quarter (24 percent) for the Democrats and about 30 percent for the GOP.

That's not a majority, though: True. But it's the snowball effect. If Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina were the kids' snowball that started down the mountain, Super Tuesday is what happens when that snowball hits the steepest part of the slope.

What's the day with the second most states and delegates? March 15, when five big states vote — Florida, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio. And the system changes. Those carry 1,058 delegates (691 for Democrats, 367 for Republicans). More states start to become winner-take-all. By the end of March, about half of all Democratic delegates (48 percent) and almost two-thirds of Republican delegates (63 percent) will have been allocated.

UH OH: There’s a SECRET Trump interview at NY Times on what he REALLY thinks about immigration
Posted on February 29, 2016 by The Right Scoop

Apparently Trump went off-the-record with the NY Times in January, according to Buzzfeed, who has been made aware there’s an audio recording and transcript of this meeting.

The secret recording is said to cast doubt on Trump standing by his tough immigration stance:

BUZZFEED – The New York Times is sitting on an audio recording that some of its staff believes could deal a serious blow to Donald Trump who, in an off-the-record meeting with the newspaper, called into question whether he would stand by his own immigration views.

On Saturday, columnist Gail Collins, one of the attendees at the meeting (which also included editor-in-chief Dean Baquet), floated a bit of speculation in her column:

The most optimistic analysis of Trump as a presidential candidate is that he just doesn’t believe in positions, except the ones you adopt for strategic purposes when you’re making a deal. So you obviously can’t explain how you’re going to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants, because it’s going to be the first bid in some future monster negotiation session.

Sources familiar with the recording and transcript — which have reached near-mythical status at the Times — tell me that the second sentence is a bit more than speculation. It reflects, instead, something Trump said about the flexibility of his hard-line anti-immigration stance.

So what exactly did Trump say about immigration, about deportations, about the wall? Did he abandon a core promise of his campaign in a private conversation with liberal power brokers in New York?

Way too late for any of that. Everyone tried to steer clear of Trump's attacks and they inadvertently allowed the monster to continue to grow and build momentum. There's no stopping him now. He'll be the nominee.
Oh yeah way too late, i agree
