Many voices will be warning about too much optimism as Donald Trump has just defeated 16 candidates to become the Republican nominee for President.   My thoughts?
To heck with that.  Y’all know how hard we have worked, against overwhelming odds, to attain this victory – A Historic Victory.
There’s a time for prudent contemplation, serious discussion and political debate.  Today is NOT THAT TIME.  Today, we dance.

You’re Worth It ! ‘ 

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “2016 Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Presidential Race and/or any of the candidates therein.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Indiana is Holding Their Primary Vote Today

IGNORE EXIT POLLS

Most state polling Locations are open 6:00am – 6:00pm (7:00pm EDT – Indy has two time zones).  12 of Indiana’s 92 counties are in the Central Time Zone with polling locations open until 6:00pm CDT (7:00pm EDT).  Ignore Exit Polls.  EVERY VOTE COUNTS.
Each congressional district assigns delegates to the winner of that district.  It is critical that all votes are counted.  The corporate media agenda, via exit polls, are intended to suppress unfavorable outcomes.
Do not take anything for granted; every district vote counts toward winning each district individually.

And now, in addition to a looming defeat in Indiana, we find the source of the epic Ted Cruz public meltdown today.  A just released PPP poll (full pdf below) of West Virginia voters shows candidate Donald Trump absolutely CRUSHING Senator Cruz and Governor Kasich:

In addition to winning EVERY internal sub-set amid the polled West Virginia electorate, Donald Trump also wins independent voters with over 70% support.
As we’ve continually warned, stay out of the ‘splodey head blast radius.  These public GOPe meltdowns will be epic and specifically targeted to take down everyone around them.
(Via PPP Polling)  PPP’s new West Virginia poll finds it’s likely to just keep Donald Trump’s recent streak of dominant victories right on going. Trump leads in the state with 61% to 22% for Ted Cruz and 14% for John Kasich. Trump, with a 67/24 favorability rating, is the only candidate GOP voters in the state even like. Both Kasich (32/50) and Cruz (32/53) come in with negative favorability ratings. (more…)
