Aus Feuer ward der Geist geschaffen,
drum schenkt mir süßes Feuer ein!
Die Lust der Lieder und der Waffen,
die Lust der Liebe schenkt mir ein,
der Trauben süßes Sonnenblut,
das Wunder glaubt und Wunder thut!
he is running out of money. His superpac may still have a decent kitty but his campaign staff still has to eat. He needs a game changer, and soon. I think both he and kasich are living in a fantasy world where the other one runs out of money, quits, and then miraculously every last one of the rudderless supporters flock to him

Kasich presumably wants to be VP. Jeb just has campaign inertia
I can't really see a reason Cruz would not build up the military and I actually believe Trump when he says he'd be less eager on the trigger finger given how much he rages about us spending so much money and effort overseas. Rubio on the other hand is just Bush 3.0 as far as foreign policy goes so he'd be the biggest warhawk.
He never sleeps. He never dies.
Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.
cruz has spent quite some time railing against unbalanced expenditures and is a big supporter of the budget control act. He only started talking about beefing up the military when it occured to him thats what republican base voters expect to hear. once he is elected, I would actually expect him to revert to form.
I don't know anything about Kasich's policies but he seems like a sad old puppy so I'd vote for him.
Kasich started out as the eternal optimist
these days he looks like the republican party's eeore.
thats ok poo-bush...probably wouldn't have gotten elected annnnywaaaay *sigh*
interesting cause I just checked the most recent projections, hillary is up by 2% and one of her best and most populious counties is only just now starting to report in.
she is up 4% now, barring a major shift soon I imagine they will start calling it soon if they havent already.
EDIT: actually, speak of the devil, fox just did
its getting called all over the place now, its over. only story of interest now is if those entrance polls end up holding up or if they turn out to be flawed. I am guessing the latter, since they projected sanders actually winning hispanic votes but the counties hillary won in were all high minority areas.
tfw sanders voters feel too disenfranchised to vote and allow the donald to win

TBH I'm waiting to hear the next press release from the Clintons about how Sander's can't win and which primary we'll see this be proven in
im actually more interested to hear how sanders responds to this. one of the things we havent really seen yet is if he knows how to lose well. iowa was close enough he didnt even give a concession speech, but here he outspent hillary more then 2-1 and ended up losing by whats probably gonna end up about 4-5 points. Not a blow out, but it ended up being a pretty comfortable margin of victory in the end.
He spent what, 15 years as a sitting independent? One might say nobody in our political system is more experienced at losing.
not exactly a good endorsement

It's not really meant to be.
when i get elected president, we're gonna have so much losing you're gonna get tired of losing
let me rephrase that slightly. I am not reaaaaaaallllllly concerned with bernie himself. he is a career politician, I assume he can spin.
"It was a hard fight, you all did great, I have learned from my mistakes and I promise I will do better" etctera, etcetera.
Im really interested in his supporters. See a lot of bernie's supporters seem to really believe that this is an '08 style revolution in progress. Like, this giant wave of enthusiasm is carrying bernie and the momentum is unstoppable. And up until today, they never had to deal with just a straight up loss. They didnt expect this one either, I moonlighted from BL to a pretty left wing board (much more so then BL) I frequent occasionally and right up until the end most of the feel'n the bern crowd really thought it was in the bag. Hell even Leo
damn how could sanders do this he just can't talk to minorities
