2016 elections - because it's never too early

Only lefties are entitled to the pronoun of their choice, I guess.

Ok I am super confused what you mean.

Jenner disagrees with Marty politically and suddenly she's he or it or they.

Err, no. My point is that I don't know what is his/her preferred reference - I have seen many conflicting messages on this and frankly I don't care. I never called Jenner "her". Furthermore, wasn't there a thread here recently where some sort of "authority" on language (some dictionary board or commission or something) agreed "officially" that "they" can be used in singular as a neutral form?

I know what a loser looks like and he's a loser, believe me. A little baby loser. It's amazing how much he loses. Amazing.

I have decided to follow Milo Yiannoupoulos and refer to Trump as "daddy".

Gardon graduated from Stanford, I think.  Mihali is the one from Harvard Law School.  Both are demi-gods

One thing I was wrong about is that a month ago I was arguing that only one of the Rubio / Bush / Kasich trio would make it this far. Kasich is not even competing in most states, but his small support is really harming Rubio - 538 had an analysis that if Kasich was gone that Rubio could have considerably more delegates by himself than Kasich and Rubio have in actuality. The crappy performance of Rubio undermines pressure on Kasich to drop out--if the establishment is embodied by Romney's speech, they actually want Kasich to stay in so someone has a shot against Trump in Ohio.

The conventional wisdom seems to be that if Rubio loses Florida, he needs to drop out. But if he loses Florida, he will still have more delegates than Kasich, even if Kasich wins Ohio. So I'm not sure that happens. It really would be premature for both of them to drop out--the last establishment candidate standing is going to get a lot of votes and would be well positioned in a brokered convention. Also, just in the stop Trump spirit, someone has to beat Trump in (for example) California, and Cruz seems poorly positioned to do that.

But for both of them to keep running is counterproductive--especially as we are entering the winner take all states.
