I like the idea of an RoK reporter, but given the recent crises with the meetup and everything I think it might be best to just lay low. No sense in giving the lying media more stuff to smear the Don with.

I know who he is. That doesn't mean he's not weak.

This guy has been a talking head for a long time. He may be smart. That doesn't mean he's not weak or wrong. He has been wrong on everything (as seen when he was calling "peak Trump" in July), and every time I've seen him talk he has a weak, vacillating little frame.

It's much the same way with much of the globalists. They are weak, weak people. They're little cockroaches that scatter at the first sign of light. When someone stands up to them, they react with a desperate snark.

Trump's pulled the curtain back on all of them. If these guys didn't have their cushy social and donor networks, they'd be absolutely nothing. They are weak, pathetic men.

Completely disagree with this. Look at where the country was in 1950 and where it is today. The people you call weak have managed to utterly transform (destroy) our society and pushed people like us to the "dark corners" of the internet. We are weak, they are strong. They are the ones who unapologetically push their sick subversive agenda on billions of people around the world via the media and popular culture, while we mostly cower anonymously behind our keyboards.

Kristol is neither weak, nor wrong. He's wrong from your perspective, because his goals are different from yours. To you, invading Iraq was a massive mistake. To Kristol, invading Iraq was a brilliant, joyous affair. People died and money was wasted, but the people who died and whose money was wasted are people who Kristol hates, anyway. What do you call it when you get to accomplish your goal (destroying Iraq) at the "price" of thousands of dead bodies and trillions in debt suffered by people you hate? A massive, unambiguous success.

If Trump wins and manages to do what he said he'll do, then that will be the first significant setback Kristol and his ilk will have suffered since WWII. But that hasn't happened yet and even if it did, it would be just one defeat among a continuous pattern of successes that have left them at the precipice of complete victory. Why do many of us believe that this election is the "last chance" to avert complete disaster for the country? Because the forces Bill Kristol is a part of are not weak. Complete disaster for people like us is total, irreversible victory for Bill Kristol, and we are on the verge of such a victory. A Trump presidency may or may not buy time, but if I had to make a long term bet on "us" or Bill Kristol, I'd bet on Bill Kristol. Doesn't mean I like it, but it's better to understand things for how they are rather than for how we want them to be.

In all seriousness, can't RoK send someone as an official reporter?

We really should just recruit Robert Morrow

Can't wait to see Nate Silver and FiveThirtyEight write another piece on how the Republicans can theoretically stop Trump. That dude really does not even try to hide his bias.

He just put out a pretty nice analysis on why Little Marco never has a base:

Trump well exceed his delegate target, even without counting any delegate in Hawaii. He needs a cumulative total of 433 at this point, and now he has 446, not counting the not-yet-distributed ones in Hawaii.

As the only one who has cleared his target, he will probably wrap up the nomination comfortably, barring some unforeseeable disaster.

Quite honestly if Trump doesn't win because of sketchy shenanigans happening then i'll know for sure democracy is completely dead in the U.S.

Then everyone should not just be very concerned but outraged.

He's doing OK, but the "unforeseeable" disaster is not to win Florida next Tuesday with its 99 winner-take-all delegates. If that happens, and particularly if Ohio goes to someone else as well, all bets are off.

He needs to win close to 270 on March 15. Florida and Ohio are 165 ( if he wins Ohio ).

Ohio, Missouri and Illinois are all open primaries. Advantage Trump.

NC is proportional and open and went for Romney in 2012. Could benefit Rubio

Florida is closed. Advantage Cruz.

Now's time for the killer blow. Put these cucks out of their misery.

That's if his pre-March 15 total delegates are 443. His current cumulative total is 458 (Hawaii delegates just got distributed), may get to 460. Assuming he gets a third of the next two contests (about 15 delegates), he will have around 475. Assuming he wins both Florida and Ohio, he will only need to to win about 75 delegates more from the 193 delegates of the other three primaries in March 15. Seems very probable to me.

Unless Kasich and Rubio both drop out and endorse Cruz + Cruz announces Rubio to be his VP, which is unlikely, I think he will probably win big in March 15, provided there is no shenanigans.

One of those two has unbound delegates so it's irrelevant there. He might win Virgin Islands with it's 9 delegates Winner Take All.

I'd spread that on social media if I was in America and I didn't have so many Mexican family members and friends who would disown me for it without watching it.

I think it's important to remember that even if Trump doesn't go all the way, he's made a massive difference just with this campaign.

They have the institutions on their side, but as for their constitutions of character, as men, they are weak, vacillating cunts. They would be nothing without their networks. And by any objective measure, he has been wrong on everything he has said.

Of course, objectivity means shit in persuasion, as Trump is also showing. He is a master of power, there's no doubt about that.

At any rate, excellent night last night. Idaho was expected, so I'm not surprised.

Hawaii was a blowout. You know what's really interesting though? Hawaii is probably one of the wealthiest states in the nation. According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaii) it's ranked 5th in median household income. It's also full of wealthy retirees.

So much for both "the ceiling" and "the poor and poorly educated."

Great results yesterday for Trump.

Next election day is March 15th with six states voting. To understand what's going on I have made an overview of the states, delegates, and rules. Correct me if I'm wrong.

52 delegates: Missouri (MO) WTA semi-closed primary
66 delegates: Ohio (OH) WTA semi-closed primary
72 delegates: North Carolina (NC) Proportional semi-closed primary
69 delegates: Illinois (IL) WTA/Direct Election open primary
99 delegates: Florida (FL) WTA closed primary
09 delegates: Northern Mariana Islands (MP) WTA closed caucus

In total these six states account for 367 delegates, 226 delegates from the four winner-takes-all (WTA) states. Illinois has a system where some delegates are awarded via WTA rules and the majority via direct election, whatever that may be. North Carolina's delegates are awarded proportionally.

Trump is currently leading everywhere, but not by much (especially considering ballot stuffing and other fraud) so let's hope he finally has a great debate again tomorrow.

I guess we just have different opinions of what "weak" means. It's fine to say without this or that, they're weak. Without being the leader of China, Xi Jinping would just be a short, rotund, jolly little man, but he is the leader of China, so he's powerful.

Bill Kristol has been wrong on everything he's ever said in the same way a cunning used-car salesman is wrong about every car he's ever sold. He's not saying things to be right, but to attain an objective. When we buy a lemon from a used-car salesman, we don't go around with a sneer of contempt on our face about how stupid and naive the salesman was for thinking it was such a great car

Supposing he falls short of the delegate target in March 15, it won't be by much. Pretty remediable if he wins Florida and Ohio. The momentum will be tremendous. It'll be surprising if he wins both Florida and Ohio and fails to get the nomination.

Only 3 unbound delegates out of 29 delegates. It's the unbound delegates that are irrelevant there. He can easily get a third of the rest (the bound delegates).
