    What people miss in that as well, is that those people are taking ownership of the religion. Just like ISIS has turned Muslims into terrorists in the eyes of quite a few people. Those who use Christianity to shield them selfs from personal responsobility, are making their religion seem a lot less than what it actually is.

    Did you not read the whole article?

    Evans later clarified his remarks, telling a reporter that he wasn't suggesting Trump would win the nomination outright with less than 1,237 delegates, but if he's close enough the real estate mogul could gain enough unbound delegates to win.

    Yes I did, wanted to see who'd bring that up.

    1100 is the tipping point where you'll see that backroom negotiating and all the other unsavory political shit happen. It's also a good time for fence sitters to 'accept the inevitable' and get on board.

    I posted the article to show that the 1237 isn't the only number he absolutely has to reach.

    It's the number he has to reach to stop it from going to the convention. That's what Mathematically eliminated means. Cruz can no longer get the 1237 but, as long as Trump doesn't get it either, he still has a path to the nomination...even if it's unlikely.

    I disagree entirely. Trump has very little hold on the Republican party at all. He's pulling in under 40% of Republicans in the popular voting. Clinton is pulling in 56.46% of Democrats. I think she has much tighter grip on the Democratic Party. Plus, the GOP is actively funding campaigns against Trump righ tnow.
    This last Super Tuesday, Trump took each state with over 50% of the vote. Against 2 others. Hillary is winning by single digits over Sanders and there is a real possibility that Sanders voters will walk away or write in during the general. Republican's will most likely vote along party lines, because it will either be Trump or Clinton and Clinton is Obama Jr and Repubs don't want anymore of that.

    Trumps voter base is also larger, 18 mill repubs have voted as opposed to 12 mill dems. The only way this is close without the independent general vote is if Trump only gets his typical voters and Clinton gets hers and at least 30% of Sanders.

    More Republicans have voted in the primaries because the Republican contest is actually contested most Democrats know the Democratic primary was decided months ago, so a lot of people don't even bother voting.

    That would imply that the Dems won't vote in the general elections.
    Unlike the Republicans, the Dems don't have to run and vote in large numbers at the primaries. They've had 2 candidates from the start, and the race was more or less over before it even began.
    Once the general elections procedures start, things gonna shift.

    christ... WOOF, is that a bad picture or is this how she looks now? nothing better than the birth control you can grow yourself.. Maybe that's the republicans alternative to planned parenthood; a KFC on every street corner. (bonus, would also help social security/medicare!)

    Well it only really counts if white people are the ones doing the dying and not the killing which, given how these sorts of things usually turn out, is not all that often. Everything else is just an "isolated incident" because hey, if you aren't paying attention to any of the other incidents, then it's isolated to you, right?

    Hangings / disappearings still happen regularly enough in the southern US as well.

    It's not hard to get away with pretty much anything if the locals are in your pocket. Laura Bush is one of the better-known examples.
