    - I'm not familiar with her work but she seems too young to me *shrug* -- nm - Epiphany Mar 1, 07:03 2
      - See? I think so too. I think Taraji has to be the #1 target. Angela Bassett would have been perfect for the role back in the day - but she's too - Jim Mar 1, 07:14 1

Former Utah Gov takes a different Super Tuesday approach, says every GOP candidate should stay in to deny Trump delegates needed -- (link) - ty97 Mar 1, 06:23 23
- This explains a lot about Republican budgeting practices. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 06:57
- can they all join their delegates up into one big pile afterward? And then Thunderdome who gets them? -- nm* - Beaker Mar 1, 06:27 10
  - Delegates are pledged through the first vote. The thought is if Trump doesn't get enough on the first vote (i.e. has less than 50%) the others - spamlet Mar 1, 06:34 9
    - There are no* winner take all states for the GOP today - ty97 Mar 1, 06:42 8
      - Ah, I was just going on what I had heard reported. I should have looked more closely. -- nm - spamlet Mar 1, 06:43 7
        
        Not saying you're wrong that they could choose to be winner-take-all today, just none have chosen to - ty97 Mar 1, 06:44 6
        
        Ahh, here we go. All states voting March 1-14 are some version of proportional. It goes full winner-take-all after March 15 - ty97 Mar 1, 06:48 5
        
        My gosh, the #nevertrump faction is screwed. -- nm - ty97 Mar 1, 06:54
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        ah okay, so wording in my lined article maybe should have said 'could be' winner take all after March 15. - ty97 Mar 1, 06:55 2
        
        See, it's too damn difficult if (mostly) smart people can't figure it out. -- nm - spamlet Mar 1, 06:58 1
        
        [deleted]
- That math doesn't work in winner take all states though, right? -- nm - spamlet Mar 1, 06:26 10
  - Based on current trends, I don't know that the math adds up for this approach at all. - ty97 Mar 1, 06:30 1

    - Primary rules (wanting to avoid a prolonged race) and 96 candidates that were afraid to cross him are what got us here. - spamlet Mar 1, 06:31 6

  - can you go hang out at the "enemy's" place? and cough a lot? -- nm - Andie Mar 1, 06:53
  - :( norovirus sucks, hope you feel better quickly -- nm - ty97 Mar 1, 06:51
  - I've seen the demographics. Most of those voters could use the desire for more brains zombie'ism would bring. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 06:51
  - Could it be worse? -- nm - spamlet Mar 1, 06:50
