Roger Rabbit spews:
So, I think I’ll try to do a wrapup here. CNN has called the following states:
Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee: Trump and Clinton by wide margins
Texas: Cruz and Clinton by wide margins
Oklahoma also is Cruz territory, although Trump and Rubio are closer here, and Sanders wins this state
Vermont: Trump edges Kasich with Rubio far behind; this is Sanders country and he easily swamps Clinton
Massachusetts: Trump 48%, Kasich and Rubio 18%; Clinton edges out Sanders by 51%-47%
Virginia: Trump edges out Rubio with Cruz far behind; Clinton beats Sanders 2-to-1
Arkansas: Trump-Cruz-Rubio; Clinton by a wide margin
Minnesota, Colorado: Sanders wins these states; Minnesota gives Rubio an easy win over Cruz with Trump far behind
Doesn’t look to me like these results necessarily knock anyone out of the race, although I expect Kasich to leave soon (if not immediately), and Rubio doesn’t look competitive; Sanders won a few states, but hasn’t overtaken Clinton, as he has in CNN’s latest poll.

On Super Tuesday, Trump wins 6 states, Cruz 2, Rubio 1; Clinton wins 8 states, Sanders 4. Rubio doesn’t look like a nominee from here.
Meanwhile, Harry Enten of FiveThirtyEight (Nate Silver’s blog) says: “I don’t know why folks are walking away from tonight with the idea that Trump is somehow dominant. He’s won only 37 percent of the vote, pooling across states. That means he’s ahead but far from being a lock of any sort.”

I have said some things about how Rubio has some things going for him unrelated to his political positions – Floridian, young, hot wife, bilingual, greater likelihood of picking a woman as his running mate – but I didn’t say he was headed toward any type of breakout surge. And I am sure I never mentioned Cruz suspending anything. Calling BS on your spew.

So Heilary Clinton won 7 states. The DUMMOCRETIN establishment through the DNC is alive and well in the DUMMOCRETIN party. They jack boot goose-stepped to the polls and approved their forked tongue liar and how their forked tongue liar kisses wall street ASS.
As one DUMMOCRETIN stupid delegate said on Fox last night, who cares about the FBI investigation. Apparently DUMMOCRETINS give Heilary a super duper top secret spewing a pass while David Petraeus was piked on a long pole and paraded all through Washington for much less! Gotta keep power!

Has more with you telling any and all that I said something I never said.

Now I’m thinking you were caught in a lie about me and are being a pussy about it.
Steve spews:
“Get rid of the black person with a different opinion and you’ll all hear yourselves so much more clearly.”
The black guy on the street corner yelling his head off has a different opinion as well, but I’d never want to listen to it and neither would you. I walk on by, as you do too, but it’s still obnoxious, isn’t it? Did you ever give thought that you, he and everyone else might be better off he was taken off to a padded cell?
Darryl has argued that the loon is an act, that it’s performance art. Fine. We’ve seen it. Someone get the hook.
Every black friend and acquaintance I have has different views than myself, and they differ from each other. It’s not like individuality is something to be attributed solely to caucasians.
Sloppy Travis Bickle spews:
@ 53
OK, but it’s not a caucasian with a differing, individual opinion that you’re looking to ban, Steve.
Distant Replay spews:
@52,
Even an act can be a danger. Regardless of the fuckwad’s opinions, and certainly regardless of his race, his incessant calls for violence and threats to harm others, while they may be merely an act, have other effects. One of these that I believe we are seeing amply demonstrated in our communities with growing frequency is the license this kind of rhetoric gives to others to commit acts of violence. Tolerance of violent eliminationist rhetoric has real effects on some people. Sadly some of these people respond by acting out violently. Deleting his overtly violent posts will hopefully avoid this kind of effect. Let’s hope so.
Sloppy Travis Bickle spews:
@ 54
This has already been debated. Recall getting your panties in a twist because you perceived a Puddy threat against you, Maryanne? That was before you went back to your stream of insults against him. One might think that if you were truly concerned about a purported proclivity of Puddy to violence, you’d cut that out so as not to further provoke him, but you were really just playing Drama Queen for a day.
It was a sufficiently noteworthy cry of justice denied by your ilk that Darryl weighed in and pointed out comments by RR, which also might be seen as inciting to violence.
You were there for that, yes?
It’s not incitement to violence you’re interest in banning, DR. It’s the opinions of someone you detest you no longer wish to hear.
It’s a weak position to take, and therefore not at all surprising that you take it.
Steve spews:
“OK, but it’s not a caucasian with a differing, individual opinion that you’re looking to ban, Steve.”
You’re right. It’s a batshit crazy loon who happens to be black.
Sloppy Travis Bickle spews:
@ 56
If batshit crazy loonish behavior is cause for calls to ban, then why is ‘bagger untouched, Steve?
’cause that guy has my vote for Most Likely To Go Postal.
Steve spews:
“Even an act can be a danger.”
The loon’s act is drumbeat repetition of eliminationist rhetoric and there’s nothing racial about wanting to see the plugged pulled on that.
But I can kind of see why a racist might appreciate the loon’s act as it’s about an unintelligible Ivy League educated white-face black man who is extremely vile and dumber than a stump.

Frankly I miss JCH. He was a helluva lot more fun than either of you two. His was the clownservative personae of a glorious twilight filtered past. Where real ‘Murkin men had made up service records, darkly hinted at associations with espionage or special ops, and pretended to live in sunsplashed exotic locales tooling around in $150k sports cars. His crazy was the fun kind of crazy that revels in its own lack of imagination while hating the universe for its own failures. But it was an impotent sort of crazy, that at some point became to deeply unsatisfying for you people. You finally needed to see some actual manifest pain and suffering in the real world to salve your emotionally wounded psyches. For you, its pain for the “lowlife” poor who simply must be to blame for not affiliating with the right fraternity. And for the Fuckwad it’s women and their devious abortion holes. Yep. It’s all fun and games, until some rape victim gets a vaginal probing.

Distant Replay spews:
Ask any of the long time HA gym rats. JCH was a living breathing miracle of His (Bill Kristol’s) glorious creation.
He was eventually banned, although I’m not sure why. He did seem to be getting dangerous. He essentially patterned his online personae after the character of Thomas Magnum from the 80s teevee show Magnum PI. Fabricated a military background and claimed some kind of “advanced” training and experience. Insisted he was retired, independently wealthy, and living a glamorous life in Hawaii somewhere. Yet inexplicably he was intensely interested in the political day to day of Timmeeeeh, The Seattle Times, and Washington State. Weird, right? But really very entertaining while it lasted. I assume he was eventually found in a single-wide in Maltby surrounded by empty bottles of Fleischman Vodka dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. And that’s how I’ll always remember him.
