I'm registered NP, so I don't really care about elections until Nov.

Cruz and Clinton won. Clinton beat out Sanders by an EXTREMELY tiny margin so if that's any indication in how the rest of the primaries will go, it'll be an interesting race on the Dems side.

By the latest count he's down by 1 delegate, which in an election like this can be huge. If he can't even that up, one delicate lost per state in even half of the states means that a landslide is needed in an important state to make up the remainder. It will be interesting to watch to say the least.



Who will win? The criminal? Or the socialist?

It may not mean anything, but Cruz came to (corn country) Iowa talking about killing the corn subsidies = political suicide and then won with the biggest margin of any Republican *ever*



on a related note, take a moment to visit www.loser.com while it lasts. I don't mind Trump as much as some people, but this made me LOL.

If anyone watched the Hillary cheated video from CSPAN it's pretty obvious what is eventually going to ruin Sanders. His campaign is run and managed by children.

Half of them didn't even look old enough to vote. They were dressed like slobs and had no clue how a caucus even works.

How is he even a serious candidate? Oh that's right, impossible promises of legislation forced from the oval office.



This entire election cycles scares the living sh*t out of me. There is no one of worth in either of the 2 major parties.

An interesting point on the coin tosses and how delegates (at least on the democrat side) are allocated:

Sanders' campaign is run by children because as soon as you see the first paystub with 25% missing from various taxes Socialism should look a whole lot less interesting.

^I don't disagree, but I really hope we're wrong.
