A step in the right direction. (We'll take what we can).
Less than two months and we'll see her on Fox News. It's where ignorance gets a second life.

RNC Surprise!
There is a chance that even with all the pledged delegates and more than he needs to clinch the nomination, that something is going to happen before, or at, the convention in Cleveland to the Donald's coronation. Overwhelming "buyer's remorse" is going to cause many to try to force his hand to quit the race.

Clinton v. Trump
It's a done deal. We lost the public relations battle in Nevada. Right or wrong, our people screwed the pooch. This cannot be fixed. Tactical catastrophe.

The Americans: Gaad

I Give Up. Time to Recognize the Obvious.
I underestimated the power of the Trump tsunami, and the gullibility, the massive stupidity, of the average American.
The thugs and the fascists aren't concerned with the niceties of window dressing anymore. And they've sucked the air out of any chance for a Kasich rally. Or a Cruz, or Rubio one, for that matter.
It's a done deal for the GOP. It's not going to be a three man race. It's going to be Trump. God help us all. (Let me clue you in. There is no god. There is no help.) By this time next week, the deal will be done. (It already is.)
I'm still pulling for Bernie on the Dem side.But it's going to be Hillary. Can't live in dreams any more.
Ultimately, though, I think we will get the President we deserve. And the House and Senate (and state legislatures) to go with it... Sorry, folks. It looks more and more like President Donald J. Trump.
If I had any advice for the rest of the world after November, it would be to quarantine the United States until we come to our senses.
As for the USA, I recommend heavy medication.

In the Wake of New Hampshire
Chris Christie just gave a speech that did not specifically say, but sounded a lot like, the speech one makes when they're ready to give up. He will announce that he's "suspending" his campaign within the next four days.
Carly Fiorino will announce that she's done within a day or two, or she's even dumber than we all know her to be.
Santorum is finished. Is Pataki still running?
It's down to the final GOP six, going into the pre-show of Nevada and South Carolina. We are all still shocked that the air hasn't gone out of the wind-bag that is "The Donald". Ted Cruz will get a short-lived blast from South Carolina by finishing top 3. Third, I think. Jeb! is going to feel the pressure to give it up after he shows in 5th. Trump will still carry the day in SC, but not by as much as he's used to.
Ben Carson is still hanging around because he thinks he's going to gain traction in SC. He won't. His numbers will be so bad that even he has to realize his fantasy is over.
It's going to be 1.Trump 2. Kasich (in a surprisingly strong showing) 3. Cruz three or four points behind Kasich And a distant 4th for Rubio (and the end of his dreams). Jeb! will come in close behind Rubio with Carson dead last barely polling in real numbers.
No matter who decides not to drop out, it will be a three man race in real terms by Super Tuesday. Cruz, Trump, and Kasich.
I said it a long time ago. Kasich is going to be the nominee.
"Have you ever met a dumb cop?" If you don't get the reference, you will hear it a fuck-ton going into November.
For the Dems? Bernie all the way, baby!!! Check the calendar for the primaries. Hillary may hang in for the big ones (Texas, California, New York), but her strengths there will vanish.
The wild cards are Trump's staying power (ephemeral) and Bloomberg or another spoiler getting in. Even then, I predict we know better, and are ready for President Bernie Sanders. (It's a long way away, and anything can happen...)
In Review:
I give myself a pretty good score, so far. There were some surprises. Trump's staying power. Walker dropping out so early. The failure-to-launch of Jeb! Paul's departure.
But I nailed Kasich before most thought him viable, had Bernie, and called the failure of Christie.
Watch this space.
BTW. This post was from January 9th. Two thousand FOURTEEN...For all you doubters...:
