[RD] Super Tuesday

[Takhisis]

Do you remember the primary battle between Bush and McCain?

McCain was very much seen as an outsider and a threat to the establishment.

Or how about... Bush and Perot?

This internal squabble in the GOP is not anything new, just a more fierce battle than before. Nor does it signal the end of the GOP, but if you want to speculate that it's the beginning of the end, I won't stop you.

Beginning of the end…? perhaps, but it'd take several cycles of continued all-out warfare for that to happen.

Before Trump the party was split between establishment and tea party. Trump is unifying the republican base while they hold a record number of seats in both the house and senate and soon they'll have the WH.

They ain't going anywhere any time soon.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Question: How do you suppose you have an economy and surplus resources for humanitarianism without industry? Even the Soviets believed heavily in industry.

This just demonstrates a total lack in understating when it comes to economics in general on your part, but yet you are convinced that your train of thought is the keys to the kingdom.

Interesting.

I'm not convinced of any such thing regarding my train of thought...yours, however, is easily identified.

Now, why don't you go ahead and tell me how your "point" about the Soviets in any way shape or form contradicts the position that the age of industry is passed, given that the Soviet tent folded several DECADES ago.

I'll wait for you to get your massive engine on the rails.

 

[civman110]

You still haven't explained how you have an economy with surplus resources for humanitarianism without industry.

Is this your big plan?

Unifying them? I suppose so. About 60% of Teahadists aren't supporting Drumpf, and about 60% of traditional Republicans aren't either. That's party unity. Throw in that independents and Democrats almost universally despise him and you have the greatest force for political unification since...ever, maybe.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

You still haven't explained how you have an economy with surplus resources for humanitarianism without industry.

You haven't given the first indication that a discussion of economics beyond the elementary school level wouldn't go so far over your head as to be a total waste of time.

Well if your plan is what you say it is, I'd start getting out some of these starter packs a.s.a.p. before Bernie's numbers drop even further:

Moderator Action: <snip>

I'm still quite confused on how you expect to accomplish this with no industry, maybe you can try to convince a republican to make up the packs for you? Nah, that's not going to happen either... anyway that's your problem.

Moderator Action: Inappropriate image removed.

Evidence of your confusion, you are assigning me a "plan" that I have no connection to other than in your fevered imagination.

Ignorance of your opponent is the tip of the iceberg here, clearly.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Virginia, Georgia, Vermont...polls closing shortly, which means projections based on exit polling can be released. On the Dem side I predict that all three will be immediately called.

 

[Lohrenswald]

So when is this thing done

There'll be more industry under a Democrat than there will be under a Republican. There always is.

Which thing? Super Tuesday? Primaries? Election?

 

[Takhisis]

There'll be more industry under a Democrat than there will be under a Republican. There always is.

Can't be. Everyone knows that industry has never prospered under socialism.

 

[Lohrenswald]

Which thing? Super Tuesday? Primaries? Election?

One of these things is the subject of the thread, won't you say

 

[Takhisis]

Drumpf winning Georgia and Virginia, Sanders in Vermont, Hillary in Georgia and Virginia, according to the NYT right now.

 

[Martin Alvito]

Drumpf winning Georgia and Virginia, Sanders in Vermont, Hillary in Georgia and Virginia, according to the NYT right now.

It's early yet in Virginia, at least on the Republican side. Early returns are from Trump country.

Looks like Trump has GA wrapped up.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Drumpf winning Georgia and Virginia, Sanders in Vermont, Hillary in Georgia and Virginia, according to the NYT right now.

Virginia is too close to call this early, though Drumpf is up about three points.

The early returns margin on the Dem side in Virginia is surprising to me, with Clinton looking like she is off to another SC style stompfest. Same in Georgia, but that doesn't surprise me.

Now, about 15 minutes to the next polls closing. I see immediate projections again on the Dem side in Alabama and Tennessee. Some delay on Mass and nothing in Oklahoma for a long time. I'll go once again with none of the Rep side races being projected immediately, though Alabama and Tennessee should go pretty quickly.

 

[sophie]

One of these things is the subject of the thread, won't you say

We should be getting exit polling over the next few hours as polls close which will enable all or most of the states to be called. The dust should be settled by tomorrow morning unless there are some really REALLY close states.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Wow...immediate projections on the Rep side in Tennessee, Alabama, and Mass. I expected two to come up pretty quickly, but I'm disappointed with Mass.

Exit polling data has Oklahoma with Cruz leading, which is interesting.

 

[Martin Alvito]

Wow...immediate projections on the Rep side in Tennessee, Alabama, and Mass. I expected two to come up pretty quickly, but I'm disappointed with Mass.

The polls that we had were predicting murder in the first degree in MA, so it's not a huge surprise.

Exit polling data has Oklahoma with Cruz leading, which is interesting.

The polls would have to have been wildly wrong for Cruz to win in OK. If that holds up, Cruz almost certainly won Texas going away, which means he's not going anywhere.

Looks like Kasich's more likely to crack into the win column (VT) than Rubio (VA) right now.
