As usual ace makes some good points. But he misses something. I was never a fan of Rubio or Kasich, so when I say this, trust that it’s not from the #rubio4ever standpoint ace describes. There is something to consider, at least until the winner take all states start in earnest (which is soon, but several…

Wait, which side wants to burn down the GOP?
Super Tuesday is in the books. Depending on which source you’re using, Trump has somewhere between 250 and 310 delegates. Cruz is not as far behind as I would have thought, having wiped the floor in Texas, sitting at around 200 to 250. (I’m seeing wildly different numbers on different sites, I honestly don’t know…
Not So Bold Predictions 4: Super Tuesday (abridged edition)
I’ll keep doing this as long as my brother (@naterub) keeps running them on Facebook and I have a chance at free beer for winning. But I’m using his rules, which was only 3 states to keep things simple: Tejas: Cruz: 42% Trump 32% Rubio: 20% Georgia: Trump: 28% Rubio: 26% Cruz: 24% Mini-Soda Rubio:…
#NeverTrump
It was asked of me why I’m not giving full throated support for Cruz. As I alluded to in the replying comment, I have the benefit of some time to watch how things play out. Super Tuesday, plus a few weekend primaries prior to my state voting on the 15th. And I want to be clear….
Can Anyone Beat Trump In The Primary?
No. End of Post. Ok, Ok you want some actual analysis behind this? Fine here it is. Full disclosure in NV I overestimated Rubio and underestimated Trump by a lot. I was spot on with Carson and Cruz. I overestimated Kasich by a bit. Combine that with my other predictions posted here and you…
Twitter, Hamfistedness And The Marketplace Of Ideas.
I’m staying off twitter today other than the tweet or two this generates. I won’t tell you what I think of Stacy McCain, because that bit of tribal signaling is bullshit and we should avoid. But I will tell you what I think of Twitter. I think John Hoge of Hogewash! has the right idea:…
Not So Bold Predictions Part 3: South Caroline…ah-ah-ah!
Anything anything? OK, bad joke. Fine, whatever. I’m writing this just before 3CT on Friday. (It won’t post until Saturday all info was current as of then. I don’t plan on making any changes, if I do…well I’ll just change this and y’all will be none the wiser.) In any case: AND AWAY WE GO: I…
You Can’t Repair A Reputation That Never Existed In The First Place!
Nevertheless, Melissa Click will try and the media apparently will be giving her their best helping hand. Consider this article in the “Columbia Missourian” I had much to say about it over on the twitters. And it appears I upset an editor/Mizzou Faculty member: @tsrblke This doesn't even make any sense. FYI. — reedkath (@reedkath) February…
Not So Bold Predictions 2: New Hampshire Boogaloo
Continuing a series, at least through New Hampshire. FWIW, I wrote these up last night for my brother’s pick ’em. You can find him on twitter @naterub and ask him if they were in last night 😛 1. Trump 24% 2. Rubio 19% 3. Cruz 15% 4. Kasich 12% 5. Bush 7% … 6. Christie…
Curiouser and Curiouser…
Hillary Clinton is currently running away at top speed from her speaking engagement history. At the CNN town hall she got a softball question about it that she couldn’t even answer. Why she figured “that’s what they offered!” was a reasonable answer is beyond me. What I find most interesting is she has an easy…
