It's over already!

The republican race has been over for some time now, but tonight seals the deal. The media needs to stop pretending like Trump is going to go to the convention 100 or 150 delegates short of winning on the first ballot.

At absolute worst, he'll be 20 or 30 short. But I think he gets to 1237 EASILY.

Cruz and Kasich should both drop out, IMO.

EDIT - also worth pointing out is that Trump NEVER TRAILED in the real clear politics national poll average once he took the lead only weeks after he entered the race. Given the size of the field, that was an impressive feat.

Swell...

Now there's a real possibility that both candidates with have court appearances during the presidential campaign.


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

I am really enjoying this season... Hillary has been cleared, she's not going to see anymore hassles about her phone. If that's the best the GOP has, she's in good shape.

Me thinks the FBI may differ with you.

Again, they'd hand pulled that trigger by now... Hold out faint hope if it pleases your ego but don't hold your breath...

Looks like Trump gets at least 56 delegates in Pennsylvania, Cruz gets 2, and 13 are undecided/uncommitted.

That brings Trump's number to 993. New Jersey is a given, so that puts him at 1044. West Virginia's rules are such that he should get at least 31 out of 34 delegates there given his 20 point lead. That brings him to 1077.

This means he only needs 162 out of 417, or 38.8 percent of what is left.

That is a far cry from the 58% he needed just 2 days ago.

PA was beauty contest - none of the delegates are bound and nobody had to state their position.

And you think the PA delegates will vote for who? They sure won't vote for Cruz. Kaisch, maybe.

"There is no question that Secretary Clinton had authority to delete personal emails without agency supervision - she appropriately could have done so even if she were working on a government server," Department of Justice lawyers told a judge.

U.S. Justice Department lawyers told a federal court Wednesday that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's use of a private email account was not against the law, nor was it illegal for her to unilaterally determine which messages were considered work-related and necessary to return to the State Department for record keeping.

"U.S. Justice Department lawyers told a court on Wednesday." Yeah, Wednesday, September 9th, 2015. Yet the F.B.I. investigation continues. Top aids are being interviewed.

You'll forgive me if the opinion of lawyers from the most corrupt and politically motivated Justice Department in modern history doesn't impress me.

Here's another opinion by the notorious "right wing" :razz Columnist H. A. Goodman...
Since your (the FBI) investigation has taken so long, many people believe that nothing has been found, or simply that Clinton is too powerful to face any serious repercussions. Any attempt to warn people that Hillary Clinton could realistically face criminal indictments is either viewed as a Republican scare tactic, or lunacy.

The massive group think within the Democratic Party, fostered by years of circumventing political scandals, has literally altered the mindset of normally rational individuals, and voters.

Unfortunately, we don't like in Bryce's. "I wish it was like this" land. Everything is a conspiracy theory unless it goes your way. Sorry to break the news, the email server isn't an issue.
