  1. GOP has “run out of ballots”?!?

    NO PROBLEM!

    The new batch is coming RIGHT AWAY!!!
    (…pre-marked for Rubio…)

    “Thanks for voting! Now, get outta here!

  2. luv the demonRATs process …… are you going to go against your local Homeowner’s Association Nazi if you have to get approval to put up that fence? …. do you go against the local zoning official if you want your place to be zoned ‘rural’? … or the schlub that delivers your mail? … or the local Constabulary?
    …didn’t think so….

  3. “With 5% in, Jim Gilmore has not received any votes, but “Other” has 5″
    Gilmore is only in it to give his Virginia primary votes to the ‘establishment’ candidate … at this point, looks like Rubio

  4. I just sent that video to my 21 year old son, and asked him who’s problem he thought these progressive’s decisions will be.

    He told me that I’m not a representative example of my rotten generation, but he’s hoping that after the coming civil war, he hopes he’s representative of his.

    Scary shit.

  5. at this point it looks like a Cruz win, Trump second, & the ‘establishment’ Rubio third …… Hitlary wins …. no surprise
    it is still Trump’s to lose …. Cruz gets a couple more delegates than Trump or Rubio
    Trump is poised to claim the most delegates in NH, SC & NV
    the real vote is on March 1, Super Tuesday …

  6. The Gilmore Groundswell isn’t just caucusing. They’re caucasioning!

    OK, I don’t really know what that means but we’re playing a drinking game here where, whenever Gilmore doesn’t get a vote we all take a drink. So far, the empty cans are really piling up so I may not know what I’m saying, if ya get my meaning.

    Which is strange because we’re drinking cream soda.

  7. I didn’t expect Trump to take Iowa. It is a bit of a weird state. I DID expect Rubio to surge. So, I am right. I think it is not a big deal for Trump to not take Iowa. It’s Iowa. Huckabee and Rick S won Iowa. Of course the lefties are very happy – thinking that Trump is TOTALLY destroyed. 🙂 Whatever. I don’t think the people in NH or SC will change who they vote for based on Iowa, and that is the thing.

  8. Hey, I learned just today that Rick S didn’t get announced the winner in Iowa until TWO weeks after it had been called for Romney. How he heck did that even happen? He was third on caucus night. Iowa. But Romney got a MUCH needed bump.

  9. Dang, I don’t get to collect on the bet I didn’t make! Well, congrats Cruz supporters! NH is going to be hard to take in the GE, but we’ll all do our best! I don’t think there are as many evangelicals in NH. 😉

  10. No disrespect to Rubio, wife, and his supporters.
    His pinky backdrop as he spoke with his conviction did not help him. If that was a wifey thing, again no disrespect, oh please don’t.
    Name in Caps Dude!
