President Donald J. Trump

[chefist]

Yes, unfortunately.

Not sure why even Kasich is in the race at this point.  According to math, even if Kasich does win Ohio, he would need 110% of the remaining delegates, which is impossible to do.

North Carolina looks like it's going for Trump.

RNC trying to dilute nomination with multiple candidates...

Really embarrassing... RNC is in complete disaster mode like the DNC in 1968

Rubio just announced he suspended his campaign.

Rubio just announced he suspended his campaign.

Huge, but especially when you get your hat handed to you in your own state. Not the "suspension" not quitting, dropping out,
That said, there are two main differences between "suspending" and ending a presidential campaign: delegates and money.

Delegates:

Federal law plays no role in delegate selection rules. It's up to the party to decide how to treat delegates won by a candidate who has suspended his campaign. In general, candidates who suspend their campaigns get to keep any delegates they've won, while candidates who drop out have to forfeit certain delegates, usually statewide delegates.

Money:

"Suspending" a campaign allows a candidate to publicly withdraw from a race while preserving the ability to raise funds beyond what's needed to retire debt. This may include the ability to continue to receive federal matching funds, if the candidate has previously qualified for them.

When candidates announce they are dropping out or ending their campaigns, they may then only raise money to retire any remaining campaign debts or to pay for other costs related to shutting down a campaign committee. They may not continue to amass warchests beyond that if they drop out.

However, if a candidate "suspends" his campaign but doesn't officially end his candidacy, federal law does not specifically prohibit that candidate from continuing to raise funds for purposes other debt retirement.

Candidates who "suspend" their campaigns as well as those who officially drop out must still continue to file disclosure reports, as long as they have an active campaign committee.

Drudge followers won't notice.

[albrecht]

Which states are involved in this Super Tuesday?

FLA, NC, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois- I think. The ones most folks care about is Fla and Ohio due to number of delegates and 'winner take all' and because Ohio and Fla are home states of two of the Republican candidates. I think I got it right.
ps: the Northern Mariana Island is also today but for them 'today' was yesterday, I think, they went Trump strongly.
pps: I don't like this scooping by networks of projecting winners before even a majority of votes have been counted or reporting in. I so want to see some of them screw up again. Call the elections not based on projections, exit polls, but when all the votes (or at least the vast majority of votes have been reported and counted.)

Lol was waiting for that...

Lol was waiting for that...

I haven't investigated on what size an operation he runs. I know that if you read most online "newspapers" that there doesn't seem to be editors anymore, or at least people as editors, many misspellings or wrong use of word (I suspect they might be relying on AI or just "spell-check" or even just outsourcing it to a 3rd world country's workers with a more limited knowledge of English,) in the race to get stories out on a low budget and quicker than the next guy. I'm not even talking about the CONTENT or veracity of the articles, but on the spelling and grammar errors.
ps: Drudge still has Missouri misspelled. Ha.

Thank you Albrecht.

Kasich can't even come close in any other Midwest state...he'll lost MI, IL and MO...he's not a factor...

[The King of Kings]

Well, it looks like Trump will win 4 out of 5 states tonight.

Pretty strong voice the voters have shown tonight.

Hope these shitbags like Kasich aren't looking for a contested convention.

You think you saw violence now, oh boy.  Time to get your pitchforks and storm the Republican Bastille.

[PKaiser]

Thank you Albrecht.

Trump and Clinton got both Florida and Ohio.  Clinton is about to speak in Fl.

'Evening miss Starr!

CNN is calling OH for Kasich, but how can they with only 20% of the vote counted and Trump only 25,000 votes behind? That kind of stuff is nonsense to me and yet another reason I could never watch the late great CNN.

I have a message into Drudge about his spelling, hope he has time to read it!

[The King of Kings]

Clinton literally just said no more borders, no more calling people illegal immigrants.

This bitch is literally calling for the end of the USA and to be flooded by third world foreigners.

I am going to barf.

Good evening PK.

Yes, I realize that.  I'm pretty sure the error was a subconscious desire that I heard it wrong.

Borders are an imaginary construct.  That's why everyone walks across.
