Don't count superdelegates as a lead, cause they'll never vote for hillary if bernie wins the pledged delegates, or it would be the end of the democratic chances in november. She's just ahead by 221 pledged delegates, and all of the south strong pro-clinton states have gone already. After today there won't be any south state at-all left to vote in the primaries.

Kasich is a RINO. (Jai knows what that means).

It's pretty much over after tonight on the GOP side. Nobody wants Marco to become president - not even his own constituents. They'd rather pick they guy he hates most.

Republican in name only duh. Same with dino.

Btw, that's just a name to attack your party's centrist candidates and marginalize them.

Nah, it's a name for people who fold on every issue and allow the other party to step over them while betraying their constituents.

If they were elected with their positions, they're not betraying their constituents... None should have a blind allegiance for it's party.

I'll quote Liberman for that: « I'm a loyal Democrat but I have loyalties that are greater than those to my party, and that's my loyalty to my state and my country »

In 2006 many democrat officials campaigned against him in the democratic primaries for the senate because of his positions "too much centrists" and pro-Bush. He lost the primaries, run as an independent and got reelected senator against the democratic and republican nominees.

Kasich beliefs line up much closer with Democrats than Republicans though. It's hard to call his a Republican.

Not really. He would be much more of a DINO then a RINO really.

I honestly don't see Bernie beating her in NY, NJ, California, New Mexico, or really any other state with high minority populations. If Bernie can't consolidate major support with non-white and non-college voters, I don't see him outpacing her in delegates. The math just won't add up.

Nah, it's a name for people who fold on every issue and allow the other party to step over them while betraying their constituents.

+1. Take Paul Ryan for example. Calls himself a fiscal conservative and budgetary "hawk", yet still gets moderate Republicans and Democrats to pass a $1.8 trillion Omnibus Bill.

Or take Senator Kelly Ayotte for example. Ran as a tea party conservative, goes to the Senate, and becomes a moderate Republican over night.

If they were elected with their positions, they're not betraying their constituents... None should have a blind allegiance for it's party.

No that's not what we mean. Look at Marco Rubio. When he entered the Senate he was regularly put in the same sentence as Ted Cruz and Rand Paul in terms of their conservative credentials. He hasn't even finished 1 term in the Senate and now he's called an establishment republican. You wanna know why? Because he is an establishment Republican, but he only became one after joining the Senate.

Not really. He would be much more of a DINO then a RINO really.

Kasich only does well in open primaries. An open primary is where independents and democrats can vote for a Republican and vice versa. Its curious isn't why Kasich has so much appeal to moderate Democrats isn't it? Even Kasich said he should be running as a Democrat. The man seems like a nice guy, but he's not a Conservative.

Kasich is the only republican who has good chances of winning november. In polls, Trump loses hard to Hillary and Bernie, Cruz is tied to Hillary, and lose to Bernie, and Rubio won't be nominated.

Plus, Bernie doesn't do bad with latinos, just with black voters, and I think that's changing too as people start to know Clinton's real record with minorities.

Rubio won't be nominated.

And you think Kasich will?

The only person who stands a chance of beating Trump 1v1 is Cruz and everyone knows it. The establishment is just too scared that Cruz will end the corruption of the Republican Party, which has essentially been a puppet of mega donors like Adelson, Koch Bros, and Wall Street for the last 2 decades.

I think that's changing too as people start to know Clinton's real record with minorities.

I don't understand why Blacks love the Clintons. I can't name a single thing either Mr. or Mrs. Clinton have done to help African Americans. In fact, it was Mr. Clinton who signed the mandatory minimum sentencing laws into effect that caused mass incarceration.

AngryKoala; KOALAS UNITE!!!!

..but I hate koalas.

^ get out. We are already too strong!

Hmmm, I think kasich has greater chances then rubio for now, but I guess you're right, it's Cruz-Trump now with Trump probably winning.

I'm pretty sure the illuminati is behind this. The manipulators..

We are Legion.

Trump's got NC, Florida, Missouri. Trump's probably going to win Illinois, but it could swing Cruz. Now, the real question is Ohio. The last polling showed Trump barely winning in Ohio, and given recent events such as the endorsement of Ben Carson and Trump's rally that helped Trump - we could see something big in Ohio. If Trump wipes every state, you can't hold him back. He'll have it, no doubt.

And you think Kasich will?

The only person who stands a chance of beating Trump 1v1 is Cruz and everyone knows it. The establishment is just too scared that Cruz will end the corruption of the Republican Party, which has essentially been a puppet of mega donors like Adelson, Koch Bros, and Wall Street for the last 2 decades.

Weird, I don't see any super PACs spending tens of millions of dollars attacking Cruz. I believe it's Trump that's getting attacked, in that regard. Cruz has raised almost $100m from super PACs, they're expecting something from him and it's not to end corruption. On the other hand, Trump knows how to end corruption since he's a rich businessman who knows exactly how to buy politicians. He's done it before, and nobody can control him.

I don't understand why blacks love the Clintons

While I seriously hate Hillary, I've heard from my friends why they love the Clintons. Essentially Bill/Hillary stood by the black community at it's worst, he went to events and you know Bill was a very lovable president and would go to poor communities among other things. You know, when the drug war was at strong and blacks were getting arrested over marijuana - that's when Bill stepped in, not only calling out the hypocrisy of the system but pardoning hundreds of non-violent people. He was simply that guy who never felt awkward around black people, who went out of his way in several cases without real benefit and still does to this day. Now, we could argue about Hillary but I think it's fair to say Bill is an amazing president who was able to do many things without making it look like sheer pandering. It just happened naturally.

Or as my friend likes to call him "The First Black President"

"Trump will fight corruption"

Lol

And why won't he? You think a rich person who knows the system can't stop corruption?

He probably can't, but furthermore, won't. I mean, Obama had one job: to shut down Guantánamo...and he's tried for 8 years. See how far he got with a more insignificant task that won't really affect the big drawing. Now try that with corruption.
