Welcome to the IOTW Super Tuesday live blog. I’ll be updating live for the next five or six hours, probably past midnight here on the East Coast.
Things to watch for:
-How big does Trump win and how many states?
-Does Rubio win a single state? Does he surprise people and win more than one?
-Does Ted Cruz win Texas and by how much. Does he win another state?
So 50% of Arkansas voter will be dissatisfied with Trump.
From the state that gave us Clinton.
*voters*
where’s the edit button?!
Thanks Aurelius! I appreciate your take on the happenings…as they happen! 🙂
Thanks Liz!
I know a former Obama voter who would vote for Kasich because he seems nice.
Seriously.
Karate chops have hypnotic abilities…chop chop…vote for Kasich…chop chop…My father was a mailman….chop chop
I fear that this is the day that we realize Trump will be our next president.
I fear that this is the day that we realize Trump will be our next president.
Join the Trumpenproletariat komrade!
Lots of voter disatisfaction with government and Republicans is being, 50%+, reported in the exit polling. Trump should get those votes. Texas and Alabama close in 25 minutes.
good news from Virginia …. Jeb! has 28 votes
….the Comeback begins tonight!!!
I’ve settled in for the night with a 2-liter bottle of Diet Pepsi to listen to the election results on the radio.
I had never heard Sanders speak at length until now. What a loon. Says we need to reform our “broken” criminal justice system.
Which system would that be, Bernie? The one which allows Hillary Clinton to evade prosecution in the the face of mounting, damning evidence?
It’s “disgraceful” how many people are incarcerated in the U.S. Please, could some nasty, thuggish piece of work make him a Knockout Game target?
the repugnicans will allow the party implode & let Hitlary win before they give the nomination to Trump
I’ve pretty much stayed out of of the sometime childish bantering here this primary season because I remember the words once spoken by Mahatma Gandhi –
” First they try to ignore you, then they make fun of you. Then they fight you, and then you win.”
That’s what happen with Barack Obama, and that’s what is happening with Donald Trump.
These are Georgia’s Republican Delegate allocation rules:
http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P16/GA-R
Scroll halfway down the page to see the chart of allocated delegates for this primary. It looks complete.
This is Real Clear Politics’ Cheat Sheet of delegate allocations by state:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2016/03/01/super_tuesday_cheat_sheet_on_delegate_allocations_129835.html
I hope it results in a brokered convention. I would wish the GOPe would have the balls to just come out and say, “No Trump!”
“We’re not going to let you assholes vote for him because he’ll upset all the things we’ve arraigned for decades. Our power, our privilege, our ability to bank millions selling the access of our offices. You stupid fucks are a drag for us here in Washington with your endless demands and silly ideas. Just shut the fuck up and let us get on with things here.”
And the shame is, if they said as much, verbatim on national media, nobody would shoot them in the head.
They want to say it, and have it done. But they are craven and small.
Somebody needs to display some testicular fortitude. Them or us.
Quote I like seems appropriate here. “Are we dancing or fucking? Or dancing now and fucking later? Nothing else will do, I’m a busy man.”
Politico just called Tennessee and Alabama for Trump. With zero percent reporting.
http://www.politico.com/2016-election/results/map/president
CNN says 4 states will close their polls at 8:00 p.m. EST; NYT says 6 states will.
This is the intersection where Common Core math and libtard media meet LOL.

Texas and Oklahoma results. Interactive map.
Lowell — Excellent comment! And this: “They want to say it, and have it done. But they are craven and small.” Extra delegates for you for best use of the word “craven.” 🙂
Thank you Abigail! I deplore the simplification our language seems to be undergoing at the thumbs of the twitter crowd.
The perfect soundtrack for tonight:

Great song!
Rove is about to pee his excited pants as he reminds us all of “cosmic justice” in northern Virginia.
I tried to watch the returns on CSPAN, but it was a snooze, so reluctantly switched to FNC and they are covering the dog catcher races with great interest. Anyone else recommend other coverage?
@Lowell (&AA) ~ it’s already in the bag for the GOPe
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/03/01/how-the-gop-insiders-plan-to-steal-the-nod-from-trump/
…the rules are already set up to steal the nomination from Trump
Money Quote: “The ruling elite that has dominated the party would rather have globalist Hillary Clinton than the uncontrollable nationalist Donald Trump. The idea of a president not beholden to the ruling elite is more than they can stand.”
Molon — Still, they can’t simply make a declaration to that effect. Their own rules don’t allow it. It would have to be brokered at worst, and I’d like to see who they think they can foist onto the voters. Despite his delegates, Rubio will not come close to delegate count.
@AA ~ the rules expire the first day of the convention …. they just make new rules … they did it last time for Mittens & froze out Paul
Okay……so watch polls showing that 100% of Republicans feel betrayed by the party.
Molon — There is nothing usual about this cycle. I’m looking forward to Trump’s presser at 9p.EST from Mara Lago. Wish I was there — drinking a Mai Tai and planning on a beach day tomorrow.
Jeb! has 14,800 votes in Texas ……told you
…..he’s baaaaaaaaack!
Spelling Police would like you to know that Trump’s Florida spread is Mar-a-Lago. I’ve seen it spelled wrong consistently during this primary season.
Oh, poor Karl Rove, with 84% of the vote in, Virginia is called for Trump. Gosh, and his white board is sad, too. 🙁
Hitlery: “America never stopped being great.”
Gag me. This alone is more than enough reason not to support her.
GreetingsfromYonkers — haaha! Well, I’m a west coaster, so I only know the indians on this coast 😉
thanks for the correction, though
ZOMBIE ¡Jeb!
Fortunately, here in Texas, we’ve been looking forward to the Zombie Apocalypse. 14,800? No prob.
Little Robio’s teenage daughter’s copping quite an attitude
Molon, maybe Rubio’s girl hero-worships Malaria? She’s vile.
@Molon and AA.
From Molon: “Money Quote: “The ruling elite that has dominated the party would rather have globalist Hillary Clinton than the uncontrollable nationalist Donald Trump. The idea of a president not beholden to the ruling elite is more than they can stand.”
I honestly believe the GOPe does not want the executive. If they hold the executive and the house and senate, they can be blamed. And they dodge blame like a motherfucker.
If a Democrat sits as president, they can speachify to the media, wring their hands, and wail that they are helpless to stop the monster.
Sound familiar?
In politics, complicity is not a crime, even if what you are complicit with is. Ain’t American government great?
@yonkers ~ Malaria? … is that Mooch? …. or Malaria Kelly?
with 50% of the vote in the Massholechussetts demonRAT election, ‘No Preference’ getting 4,000 votes….
who goes out to vote ‘No Preference’? …. nothing better to do tonight? …. what?
Molon:
Malaria Obama.
Something of a lull now. Fixed myself a snack (small tossed salad) and am making the appalling discovery that my cat finds black olives very tasty.
Fuck it. I’m just gonna pick out the olives and give them to him.
I like Ted but thats begining to wear. The misrepresentations and lies are a bit much. Its hardball for sure but its damaging him. Watching him lie makes him seem desperate and slimey. His statements abot Trump on 2nd A and Obamacare and the NY Times garbage are too much.
The quiet big story tonight going forward is Oklahoma, because it’s the first big delegate state that is a CLOSED PRIMARY. Meaning the waves of independent and Democrat cross-over voters that have elevated Trump
so many other places are not available to him.
So only Republicans can vote and what happens? TRUMP LOSES,
Yeah I’m tired of Trumps lies, vulgar mouth and flip flops. Texans know Cruz is not a liar that’s why he won big time tonight in his home state.
Minnesota is the next Detroit. Fucking Muslims slime the state.
Aw, poor BOOM, vulgar language hurts his virgin ears.
Nevada is a CLOSED state …… jus’ sayin’
Shit. There was one teensy piece of black olive left in the bowl, and the other cat jumped up on the counter and scarfed it up.
Boredom setting in. Nitey-nite, all.
Double shit. Rubio just won Minnesota.
I bet both my cats are registered Republicans there.
Rubio won Minnesota – thinks “Con Artist” is going to catch on.
Minnesota that state that brought you Al Franken and Jesse Ventura
