    You know, it's funny the primaries aren't held nationwide on the same day. A few states influence who the nominee is. Anyway...the conventions might be interesting. Trump is really old, yet looks like a spring chicken next to Biden. Biden will not make it through a 2nd term, maybe he switches out Kamala for someone better when he inevitably wins then retires in 2026? And for the GOP, maybe Trump will be in legal trouble and have to play kingmaker at the convention...

      I heard that last evening’s turnout was only 14% of eligible voters. Pretty dismal showing for all the $$$ spent on the exercise. The result is probably an indicator of very little.

      Glad to see Ramaswamy wake up and throw in his towel. I guess in the end at least something good came out of all the hype and effort.

      Elbows up!

                  The crowd was even chanting "VP! VP!" I think. Good speech overall, I liked the opening line about so much focus on diversity and differences that we've forgotten to focus on what makes us the same. Good stuff.

                  I can see the Trump/Vivek sign now.

                                  Honestly all I'm wondering is if Kamala will cross-train Vivek on his first day working the White House 7-11.

                                        You know, just as we said would happen (like 2016) Trump will win as the rest of the field is fractured for the non-Trump vote. Imagine if it was just Nikki or Ron, the primaries would be closer to a 55/45 split which would change the dynamics BIGLY in NH and other primaries soon.

                                          Imagine if it was just Nikki or Ron

                                          I think each of them sees the other as a spoiler.

                                          ("If only Nikki weren't running, I'd have a shot")

                                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
