New York hyperbole: Rep. Peter King says he will take cyanide if Ted Cruz becomes the nominee

Here, from the John Kasich supporting congressman:

"Any New Yorker who even thinks of voting for Ted Cruz should have their head examined. ... I hate Ted Cruz. And I think I'll take cyanide if he got the nomination."

Richard Lugar reminds us why he's no longer a Republican US Senator from Indiana

Where else but in the New York Times, here:

[W]e would seem close to an optimal state-friendly federal immigration policy.

When the president took his executive action on immigration, he was not flouting the will of Congress; rather, he was using the discretion Congress gave him to fulfill his constitutional duty to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.”


Ann Coulter: GOP has to beat Hillary in an ELECTION, not a little meeting, caucus or convention

Trump has won 20 elections, Cruz . . . 9.

Trump's winning vote is 6,008,245 while Cruz' is just 2,255,345.

This is as good as it's going to get for Ted Cruz: 196

That's the delegate distance between Cruz and Trump going into the stretch.

The number will only widen from here as Trump racks up delegates in New York this week and five other contests next week in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island.

After that it will be mathematically impossible for Cruz to reach 1,237.

Reince Priebus says "a majority rules on everything", but it depends on what you mean by everything


"[U]nder the rules and under the concept of this country, a majority rules on everything."

Ann Coulter: People think libertarians are pussies

Because the country's gone socialist and all libertarians do is suck up to liberals on the social issues.

Watch here.

Draft their asses and send them to Syria.

The current very strong El Nino now averages 2.16 for five consecutive measuring periods and is waning

September-October-November: 2.1
October-November-December: 2.2
November-December-January: 2.3
December-January-February: 2.2
January-February-March: 2.0

The very strong El Nino of 1997-98 had five consecutive periods measuring an average of 2.18, the 1982-83 just three measuring an average of 2.1.

The current episode is twelve months long (average 1.53), the '97-'98 was thirteen (average 1.56), and the '82-'83 was fifteen (average 1.30).

Enjoy the Big Boob on the Right while you can: Limbaugh's iHeartMedia may not last until the election

From the story here:

Concurrently, iHeartRadio’s parent company, iHeartMedia, is heading to court, teetering on bankruptcy. The once-dominant radio behemoth is saddled with $20 billion in debt, thanks to a misguided leveraged takeover engineered by Bain Capital in 2008, the same year the radio giant inked its disastrous Limbaugh deal. ... “It’s not a question of whether it collapses but when, and it’s likely to come sooner rather than later,” suggested Media Life. “It could be within months."

Rush Limbaugh, shillin' again for Ted Cruz: "Think of a straw poll as an election"

That's precisely what Ted Cruz argues while claiming he's won all these "elections" where no elections were conducted.

There was no contest in Colorado. There wasn't even a caucus as there was in 2012, which Santorum won but got gypped anyway!

Obama's war on coal kills Peabody Energy, the US' largest coal company

Number two Arch Coal went belly up in January.

Story here.

Meanwhile 7 coal-fired power plants in Michigan are closing this week to meet new EPA emission regulations. Almost 1,000 megawatts of electricity generating capacity go away as a result, to be replaced by north of 500 megawatts of capacity from a natural gas plant.

Details here.

Conservative elites want us dead, Trump wants us to live, any questions?

Watch it here.

No, it's all the savage thugs under-executed


When the Supremes rule that men can pee and poop in all little girls bathrooms, John Kasich will just say it's time to move on


OK, somebody confiscate this guy's Republican registration right away before someone gets hurt.

Lyin' Ted is on Hannity right now claiming he's won the last eleven primary elections

The guy still can't count. 

Let's see. Trump has won Michigan, Mississippi, Florida, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina and Arizona. That's seven.

Cruz has won Utah and Wisconsin. That's two.

Kasich's won one, Ohio, and Rubio one, DC.

Total = eleven.

It would be good if Colorado, Wyoming and North Dakota held actual elections, but they haven't, and won't.

Imagine the fibs he'll tell as president. 


Delegate race update: Trump rises to 755, and after April 26th it will be mathematically impossible for Cruz

Trump is up to 755 today with 12 from Missouri. Cruz has 545. Trump needs 57% of the 842 left to get to 1237. Cruz needs 82%.

It will be mathematically impossible for Cruz after April 26th, by when 267 delegates will have been decided in New York, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island, leaving just 575 delegates for contests in May and June.

Missouri finally hands over 12 delegates to Trump a month after he won them, pushing him up to 755

From the story here:

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump added 12 delegates from Missouri on Tuesday, nearly a month after his narrow victory in the state's primary.

Missouri Secretary of State Jason Kander — a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate — certified the March 15 primary results, giving Trump the additional delegates.

The race had been too close to call, but according to the final tally, Trump won with 383,631 votes. Ted Cruz had 381,666 votes.

The difference between conservative talk radio and Donald J. Trump is basically religious

Conservative talk radio accepts the rules but Donald J. Trump flouts them.

He's a good Protestant, and a great American: The father of our country, George Washington, refused to take communion, and wouldn't kneel in prayer.

The GOPe can write all the rules they want, and then they can rewrite them.

Better get started.

In response to angry caller about Colorado Republicans, Limbaugh says Colorado wrote the rules to stop Cruz, not help him

This is the standard Limbaugh response, which is nothing more than Ted Cruz' own "me-too" argument in a different form.

Trump will stop illegal immigration? Me too! (nevermind I'm trying to expand immigration)

Trump wants to build a wall? Me too! (nevermind I never mentioned it until Trump came along)

Trump is against lousy trade agreements? Me too! (nevermind Paul Ryan and I are for TPA and TPP) 

Claiming that Colorado wrote its rules to stop Cruz is nothing more than trying to paint Cruz with Trump's colors, as if Cruz is a victim just like Trump. THEN WHY DID CRUZ WIN ALL THE DELEGATES, HUH?

It's called reaching for the coat tails.

Limbaugh's man Ted Cruz has been sucking air since Trump arrived on the scene and has only survived by learning how to run in Trump's slipstream.

John Kasich thinks the Supreme Court runs this country, not the people, just like the GOPe thinks it picks the candidate, not you


“I do believe in traditional marriage, but the court has ruled, and it’s time to move on.”

Hey honey, look at this! Intellectuals!

John Kasich in NY today
