Why might a media source sit on a story? I would never put it past anyone to have an affair but this story doesn't seem to have legs. A real media outlet will double down on this if it's worthy. All i know is Oprah was days from death about 15 years ago according to the same magazine.

If Trump can come up with any evidence the story is true then yeah he could win off it, but if not this will hurt Trump far more then people think. This just makes it clear to more people that everything Trump touches and everything he does is a lie. I wouldn't be the least bit shocked if the party takes drastic action against Trump.

If it contains swearing don't post it

Reading that Cruz picked up an additional 10 delegates in Louisiana. Still can't figure out if this decreases Trumps delegate count or if these weren't yet calculated in, Trump did pick up 1. If this decreased Trumps delegate share then Wisconsin is virtually a must win for Trump. Also reading that Trump is taking 9 days off the campaign. Maybe we're setting up by dream scenario of trump revealing that this was all just a big April fools joke.
-
Virtually winner take all, congressional districts also get delegates so a close 2nd should mean a handful of delegates. A win by more then a couple % probably means at least a 38-4 delegate win
-
Right now Wisconsin is polling Trump 32.5 Cruz 27.5 with 13.5 for Kasich (meaning there are a ton of Rubio votes available) this article predicts Trump wins Wisconsin, if he doesn't that's a huge swing that would if all other predictions are right leave him way short. Predictit has Cruz at a 60% favorite.
-
Trump will be very close but chances are he won't get there. The new York and surrounding primaries delegate count are pretty low per capita. Trump does have an outside shot at hitting the delegate threshold but something would have to change.
-
. If he didn't do the work to make sure he's getting delegates then he has no chance of his delegate total increasing on a second ballot. When you have everyone on board Endorsing Cruz it only gets worse for trump once others have a shot. If they wanted to play the he's close enough OK fine game it already would of happened.
-
Trump can start getting 50% of the vote or more, Trump can go ahead and win most of the states the rest of the way, but if he doesn't it will at that point be clear Republicans rejected him. Maybe the nomination can go to Cruz or Kasich but I doubt either will prove to be better primary candidates then Trump. This is how the process works and has always worked. The difference is usually the leading candidate is at least tolerable by the majority and we end the process well before this point.

Trevor May Headed To The Bullpen
mikecgrimes replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
He has a chance to be great in the bullpen and very good as a starter. Both are great options. If a situation emerges where we might need him as a starter and because he's been in the pen it doesn't work oh well. If we go into the season with May as a starter it's an if. With him in the bullpen it's not. Add to that this makes berrios that much closer to getting the call when ready and it seems like an brainer to me. As for May's potential future pay the bullpen pay is trending way up by the time he becomes a free agent I expect $10 million to be his low end. -
I know he has a chance to be a solid starter but he was so good in the 8th inning last year I would hate to lose that for a slightly above average starter.

Game Thread: ST Game #15, Twins v Red Sox, 3/16 @ 6:05pm CT
mikecgrimes replied to Squirrel's topic in Archived Game Threads
I assume Buxton has been vomiting all day and thus had to be scratched hours before the game. Wait no I don't, sure it's just spring but play 2 innings to prove you can. -
The nominee the president picks if he does pick one will be a factor. keep in mind if the president makes the right play the politics of the situation will force the Republicans hand. The next president probably gets two nominations so they can reverse this. If he makes the wrong play and it gets blocked he's not going to get a send shot and the next president might not be a Democrat. He's in a real tight spot but not an impossible spot we can get a nomination through quickly if we do it right.
-
I think the founders made the rules the way they were to make sure politics could come into play when needed. For the first 180 years of our history the process went the way you now want it to go. Then politics came into play. Since the question is about a specific president who decided the answer was no I'll give this answer. If they feel like it.
-
When yo I get it but at the same time you are saying it when your guy is in the White House, and don't want to even consider how these things have been handled by that same president when he was on the other side. The Republicans have the power to do what they want and they might use it, if they don't it will become a 8-1 or 9-0 court before I die unless Democrats stop playing games too.
-
And we also voted for a Republican Senate. And by the way we should play politics with this. This will decide the direction of the country far more then the election. There was a time when the games weren't played on these things, but if you let the other side get away with it and never do it yourself it's clear what the end result will be.
-
So in other words you want a 9-0 court? I'm fine with a 5-4 court. Democrats have a good chance to win the election. It must be nice to be a Democrat where the rules don't apply.

Quick question what was Senator Obama's position on filibustering a nomination? What law did Democrats try to pass in 1960 regarding election year vacancies? And why was Bork denied?
-
Well the guy exists who either did say this or didn't. It would be real simple to clear this up wouldn't it. Ignoring it when you know for certain it didn't happen seems a little bit silly. I suppose when your still spiking the football and celebrating stuff like this isn't very fun.
-
I'm just going by the words of the guy who found him. I'm not qualified to tell you what that means, but I do expect those who are to deal with that detail. Maybe the guy is a moron for stating it that way I have no clue.
-
If finding him with a pillow over his head is not worthy of any further investigation then it can be better explained. I assume you were unaware of that detail but this is a mess. Maybe it's time to stop spiking the football.
-
Probably going to need to investigate the cause of death a lot further. This is a mess hopefully it wasn't a murder but this is a problem for the president.
-
It would be a risky move, but assuming a somewhat reasonable nominee in the context of who is being replaced the Republicans could approve as quickly as possible, hopefully win the election and then when the next vacancy opens up they make sure to get "Scalia's replacement" in at that point. Outside of the rulings that might be lost between now and then this would be a net positive for Republicans. Clearly it would be silly for Republicans not to say they intend to block as it's a negotiation at this point. If Obama waits to long it becomes reasonable to block, but putting the ball in his court allowing him either to make a mistake by not making a reasonable nomination or make a mistake by giving the Republicans to much is the move to make. Obama's best move might be to bet on a Democrat win and then nominating his ideal choice a few weeks after the election, although he would have to make sure the Democrat nominee is on board with the plan.

See you all later. The lies about celebrating a death are about to get me banned. Liberals true colors always shine through.
