In case anyone skipped over the last thread: we're still fucked.

Kasich is second. A nod to the remaining sane Republicans in NH.

I just watched both victory speeches. I got two words to sum it up.

Universal Winning

From what I've seen of Kasich I quite like him (I mean, relatively). It's a shame that he won't really have a chance to win the nomination though. There was another I thought was pretty decent from the first debate... Maybe Rand Paul, or Scott Walker.

Kasich tried to get Blockbuster to ban Fargo when it came out.

He also once touted his good NRA rating immediately following a mass shooting.

I'm a huge Rand Paul fan, sadly he dropped out. Very sane and levelheaded (much like his father), that's why he didn't make it very far. He could've kept hanging in there for a while, but he ran out of $$$$.
Kasich is also level headed and sane, but more on the moderate side of the spectrum. I don't necessarily always agree with Kasich and he looks like he's on drugs, but I like him.

Looks like Christie is throwing in the towel...we'll be down to five actual candidates since Fiorina, Carson and Gilmore are just in this for as long as they want to continue their ego trip.

Remaining Chances (in my mind):

Cruz - 40%
Rubio - 35%
Trump - 25%
Bush - 0%
Kasich - 0%

Except Bloomburg would hurt the D's like the unconscionable, unforgivable Nader in 2000. Too much risk.

President Trump or Cruz would make W look like Lincoln. And W was by far the worst president of the modern era.

The GOP would go into meltdown.

You should do some research on the Pauls. Ron published white supremacy bs in his biographies and then made up a lie about how he never knew that was in his book until years later when he ran for presidency.

He was also bought out by big tobacco to create the first "tea party", there's still a group of libertarians that believe smoking has no link to cancer.

Do your research.

Bloomberg very well could put the GOP candidate in the White House.

On one hand, I want Bloomberg to run because I line up pretty well with him (I think). On the other hand, I don't, because him running is the best chance we have of getting President Trump or President Cruz.

Interesting to me is that Bernie did well in blue collar areas -- this suggest his message appeals beyond white college kids.

We'll see.

And I wouldn't use "very sane and levelheaded" to describe anybody who is either libertarian or anti-vax.

Hey America, let me introduce you to a wild concept: preferential voting.

There may be a lot of things wrong with Australia, but one thing we've done really well is our electoral system.

I would be very happy with a President Cruz. I hope Bloomberg runs.
