Sanders cleans up

Bernie Sanders won three primaries over the weekend. Just when I was thinking the nomination on the democrat side was all locked up, a wrench gets thrown in. Sanders won in Alaska, Hawaii, and the state of Washington. Hillary Clinton is still ahead in the delegate count, but losing in all three states is a blow to her campaign. It is increasingly looking like the democrat candidates are regional candidates with Sanders winning in the west and Northeast, and Clinton winning in the south. What if both conventions ended up being open and contested? Now that would be interesting.

Republican civil war?

Mitt Romney just came out swinging at Donald Trump. He basically has said that Trump is a disaster and we need to vote for any of the other candidates. I think this was a big mistake. This just fans the flames of the Republican party going to war against itself. This could be the beginning of the end for the viability of the Republican party. I am not a supporter of Trump, but this is not the right thing to do. Let the voters decide who the nominee should be. If you don't like him, actively campaign and endorse another candidate. Coming out the way Romney has is just going to cause a greater rift in the party. I actually think this is going to strengthen Trump. One thing Republicans do not like is when someone is treated unfairly. Many will now rally around Trump and he will gain votes as a result. I actually like Romney, but this is a boneheaded move. What a shame. On the other hand, things a getting very interesting in this election cycle. We have never seen a party implode before.

And then there were four

Ben Carson has suspended his campaign. That now leaves only four candidates for the nomination in the Republican race. Unfortunately I do not think that Carson dropping out will make much of a difference since he did not garner very many votes. On the other hand, there will be one fewer debater at the next debate. That will give everybody else more time to beat up on each other. I was just hearing that Donald Trump has the vast majority of of delegates already. But, if you add up all the delegates that are going to the other candidates, they are greater than what Trump has amassed. In other words, there are more delegates against Trump than there are for Trump. If that continues, Donald Trump might not get the nomination. We might end up with a brokered convention. Now that would be interesting

Clinton wins big

So Trump won big in Nevada and now Clinton won big in South Carolina. These are the front runners going into Super Tuesday next week and they look good to pick up the majority of delegates. After the dust settles on Tuesday they will more than likely be the nominees for the next presidential election. I think both will make horrible presidents and it is going to be a long four years no matter which one wins the presidency. How did it come to this? Maybe we are just getting what we deserve? I truly believe you reap what you sow and this all could just be the result of all the stupid things we have done over the last 50-75 years. God have mercy on us all because it is going to be a horrible four years ahead of us and we are going to have the worst president in history (no matter who gets elected).
