Peddling fear is a GOP tactic.

Hillary looks like she'll squeeze through. Important for her if only for semantics to not lose the first two primaries.

It's well within the margin of error. If she continues to claim victory it will just look bad for her in the long run.

And some of Rand Paul's positions ... some. But Paul has no chance.

I agree.

So how does this work now?

Someone said Huckabee has already "suspended" his campaign. Do the rest of them do that?

We can only hope. It should be Hillary/Bernie, and Cruz/Trump/Rubio and that's it. Everyone else is simply wasting time/money.

Insane those numbers. 49.8% to 49.6% Clinton lead according to Politico. That's with the entire machine behind her.

[Senator Clay Davis]

I think what will be interesting to see now is how negative will Bernie be now against Hillary. He seems somewhat hesitant to go fully after her, but if he really wants to win he'll probably have to do more. Hillary opens up a 1 point lead so looks like she'll take it.

I'm surprised he hasn't done more of it, frankly. She's an easy target for negative ads. People are used to negative stuff being thrown at Hillary Clinton. They're acclimatized to it. It shouldn't cause, one would expect, the pollings blowback you would normally expect from negative campaigning.

But if Hillary does it? She's a witch, beating up on grandpa. She can't win. It'd sink her completely.

I think he'll pretty much stay the course tbh. Hillary, on the other hand, is going to go full bore. She'll totally betray what should be Democrat ideals to paint him as a no hope Socialist.

Here comes Satan's victory speech.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Hopefully Cruz gives Canada a shout out during this speech.

[Looch City]

I'd like to thank Satan for this victory.

Thank you and Satan bless the United States of America.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Where are the cowardly conservatives at? Enough about these courageous conservatives.

Pathetic, just reading his speech right off the loose leaf he wrote it on.

That's a lot of notecard reading.
