Yep she seems to be getting almost all of the super-delegates. Figures.

>But the story of the night - mark this day...March 1, 2016. The day the R party (as we know it) completely exploded/imploded. The party is finished.

The R party is over as we know it. This also might be the day of the beginning of a 3rd party.

>Having said that, I actually think Trump has a better than 50-50 chance of beating HRC in the fall.

Hopefully we WILL end up with a 3rd party that has a fighting chance someday then. If anything is to be learned from this, I think that should be it. Don't get me wrong, you know which way I lean in general in politics, but really? These two are our options? The R party might be finished, but how good of shape can the D party be in if they offer a skilled politician (ok) in the middle of a criminal investigation (not ok) and one scandal or another forever (also not ok) ??
