Sounds like a Monsanto GMO experiment.

I actually wasn't comparing numbers, I was comparing percentages of delegates won. Last I looked, Cruz was in the low 30 percents, and Sanders was in the mid 40 percents. That was a week or so ago. I doubt that WI has really changed that much for either.

I have been watching various pundits this AM trying to figure out what the real status is ... no one can seem to provide an answer that agrees with any other pundit. That's the the thing about stats - you make them say whatever you want.

It's pretty straightforward. The Dem contests award delegates proportionately, and Bernie hasn't been winning by margins that will allow him to catch up and overtake Clinton. Unless his winning margins grow and his losing margins thin he has no chance, and there's been no sign of that happening.

All Cruz has to do is win a few more winner-take-all states and Trump can't get to a majority of delegates. It's still possible that he'll win before the convention, but is becoming increasingly unlikely especially now that it's essentially a two person race.

DOM - the SDs are an issue. No doubt about it. The idea that the GOP does not have SDs is absolutely incorrect though. They do, it's just not discussed/reported as much.

Yes but the percentage of super delegates in the GOP is less than half of the percentage of dem delegates. GOP SDs are bound by the voting of voters, dem SDs are not.

Either way, the reason people (also media) talk about Sanders being finished is because it's rigged for Hillary. No way it's going to come close to what the GOP contest will.

I am a rigged person? I'm only supporting Clinton because the DNC rigged my vote?

Please, tell me how the DNC forced me to support Clinton.

That's not what I was saying. You're not rigged to support her. I just think the system is.

Cite, you are rigged like the terminator is rigged. To destroy. Everyone in your path, boom, gone.

I think that if trump, especially with the talk of a brokered/open/contested convention, and him possibly still going for a third party run, is admitting his campaign isn't as assuredly and inherently successful as he suggests.

The sanders problem comes more from superdelegates than the dnc. That isn't to say the dnc and Debbie wasserman Schultz isn't giving him trouble; just the superdelegates, despite no democratic primary being decided by them, is coming

Down to them now, as they're not voting proportionally this far, and NY superdelegates have already vowed voted to Clinton. Thats more of a party/establishment problem that will likely come back to bite them in the arse

But if his campaign has proven anything, it's that the will of the people is strong, and they are enthusiastic to make their voices heard. Cruz is absolutely overconfident, but I'm not ruling out my trump-troll candidate theory

Yeah, I was corn fused for a moment.

GET - my mom has been saying that for decades. Has crept into my entire family's vernacular.
