nope. trump, trump, trump . . . all the way. whether you like it or not. I have not seen this much momentum for any candidate, whether either party, for awhile.
Maybe we should just elect Trump president
We should also consider that the GOP nom process is pretty odd in that the deep south states and Iowa and many others (which coincidentally are the ones that the Trumps and Cruzes of the world play best in) are all proportional delegate states and more establishment-friendly states later in the primary cycle are winner-take-all.

just looking it up
interesting that the Iowa caucaus's were held Jan 19th in 2004
08 and 12 they were Jan 3rd
Why the Fcuk to they change this stuff around
I'm fine with states that do caucuses going first, but why can't all the other states just go on super Tuesday
the states that go in May and June…what's the point. Kinda just wasting taxpayer money at that point
TIL - Both parties then enacted stricter timing rules for 2016: primaries and caucuses cannot start until February 1; and only Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada are entitled to February contests

This too drives me crazy about elections…I don't think winner-take-all is a good way to do elections
it basically invalidates millions of votes in big states that could have turned the election

I really don't like cruz for a long list of reasons…but he's a pretty sharp cookie (unlike HWBush)
graduated Princeton cum laude.
(wait for walkie to comment on this one)
on the debate team at Harvard Law, and got as far as the world championship semifinals before losing to Australia.
(GGGRR those aussies are such good debaters)
He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law, and was a primary editor of the Harvard Law Review
(seems like a good job if you want to be president or Supreme court Justice!)
Harvard Professor Alan Dershowitz described him as "off the charts brilliant".
Cruz is a lot of things, but he seems far from feeble-minded.
Don't dissect the jokes, people.
My response was supposed to be meta.

Because one should know.
