Trump wins North Carolina’s Republican primary
The Associated Press has projected businessman Donald Trump as the winner of the Republican primary in North Carolina.
FLOTUS has already arrived in Austin. The event is schedule for 11 am Wednesday in Ballroom D
Ballroom D of the Austin Convention Center.
Thank you, Bella, for always keeping us up with FLOTUS’ schedule and events.
meta, thank you, it’s a team effort.
who won in her place?
In IL states attorney? Kim Foxx
Is she any better?
Don’t know if Foxx will be better, but she better damn well try. The administrative duties of the job are daunting, and if you’re a sloppy administrator you’re in trouble. Alvarez was awful, not just on the shooting of the black teen, but she let Daley’s murderous nephew get away with, well, murder. So there was black and white support to get her the hell out.
also. too. will hillz win IL?
Frankly, amk, I was totally surprised that she won. Every effing GOP I know was crossing over to vote for Bernie because he would be easier to beat. I need to drill down into the analysis to see what worked for hillz. I would have been happy if BS had beat her by 4, 5 points, so this was astonishing. Of course the Chicago media is whining that she barely won her home state, when they could pull themselves away from their Trump obsession. STFU, in an open primary.
Methinks BS’s insulting of the Democratic party and his admission that he’s only in the party for money, data and media, made a difference. He did run a fairly ruthless campaign (no negative campaigning, my ass). He is more formidable than I had anticipated. Of course, he’s nastier than I had anticipated. I was worried because Hillary ran an almost 100% positive campaign here, but apparently a lot of Dems here in IL were buying that she could actually get through some policies to create more jobs, where all BS does is blather platitudes.
Long-winded enough answer for you?
When Irish eyes are smiling, sure they’ll steal your heart away!
LOL.
Election take on Agatha Christie’s novel.
Another LOL – well put together
🙂
Can someone explain Missouri to me? Bernie & Cruz doing their best of the night there
it’s a fundie state that won’t go for dems in nov.
mmm – not so fond of Trump however. I think they went Obama 2008 but not 2012?
Read some more – it seems it will be close on the dem side – early votes from somewhere that favors Bernie
How/why do you remember all these little political tidbits? How long did you live in the US?
ever since kenyan came on the scene. don’ worry, I am outta here after nov.
😯 O mi gawd, you’ve been living in the States all these years and I didn’t know it??!! All these long trips to the big ‘K’ have been from the US? And you didn’t *once* stop by on this side of the US? Sigh, you are too antisocial, by far!
And BTW, I’m not at all worried *this time*; since you warned us when you came back that your return was time-limited I’m prepared. /:
Says the Canadian 🙂
Speak the truth. Aren’t you upset to hear he’s been living in the US ‘since the kenyan came on the scene’ and he never once admitted it before now?
Indeed.
…..and failed at both! Couldn’t stop DT and didn’t want to catch BL
Perfect example of speech in which he said absolutely Nothing
If you mean Trump, I always mute him now – so I always have that perfect example!
lolol
I feel like I can breathe now. I hope Bernie quits now, but because he can raise money I think he will continue. He wants to creat trouble along with the Berniebots.
I was actually happier to vote for Kim Foxx than anyone else today.
From my part, they should have seized Tim Cook long ago.
I forgive them because there were serious businesses to talk about, big wins from the HRC camp.
Looks like dem turnout in IL will be over 2 mil while the rethugs, with all the talk of ‘cross-over votes’, still won’t cross 700k.
That’s really good news. Illinois will be true blue in November!
LOVE your Tweet to Howard Kurtz! 🙂
X2 – women should be seen and not heard is the Political Pundit way
Has ANYONE suggested Bernie and/or Trump should stop shouting
🙂
Yay Tarheels! Where’s Dudette?
One can tell that Rachel Maddow’s voice leaks a deep pain, a remarkable but troubling hurt at tonight’s results.
However, I can honestly say that tonight I feel the Bern for HRC.
😀
My SCOTUS money is on Sri. He’s been previously unanimously confirmed and he would change the game historically. #TeamSri !!
Me too. Didn’t he have a 94-0 senate confirm vote?
97 – 0!!
Thanks Meta. I knew no one voted against confirmation
Indeed!
Wow, Bernie got SMOKED in Florida 65 to 35. We can’t have the nominee do that poorly in a swing state.
I think FL is a lost cause looking by turnout today. Even PBO had to eek out the last minute win. NC is better.
Sanders is ahead in Missouri right now. He spent a lot of time there.
i think you misunderstood forus50 sarcasm
I disagree! I think Florida is still winnable.
Sweet!
I’ll be happy with whoever POTUS picks, but Sri or Paul have youth and diversity as well as impeccable legal minds,
with 72%, hillz lead in IL has shrunk to 3%. will she pull it off?
She should I think she was born there.
As we are thinking of PBO’s announcement tomorroe, here’s a nice little refresher re his requirements……
tsk, tsk, tsk.
😀 😀 😀 Shall I pretend I was checking if you were awake?
#checkyourtimezones
yeayeayea! geezlouise, you don’t have to be so literal!
.

😀 Actually, I’m the one who should be signing off.
egg.sack.lee
🙄 I’ll go when I’m good and ready….so there!
I’m going. I’mmmmm goooo-ing. 🙂 See you later.
say gunnite. vc. don’t let bern bite.
#notachance-neverthinkofthatdude
rocking bed?
Good Lord, you’re still hanging around- have you at least had supper already?
The bed was okay. Each time I woke up it was able to rock me back to sleep….eventually. Thanks. 😀 😀
what supper?
dinner? evening meal? whatever you call it in your USA
dinnah…. in a minnnit.
Well enjoy, (though I doubt you lifted a finger to help in preparation)!
what??? that’s an insult. I doth make a mean omelette. 😎
‘Mean’ being the operative description? (Just asking …. I couldn’t resist).) 😀
#notameanboneinme
Yo dude, I am currently reading your attempt to squeeze some $$ out of 57F for a little friendly help!!
.
.
Okay, you are partly right. Maybe ‘opportunistic’ would be a more appropriate descriptor. Sounds a bit more positive than ‘mean’, I’d admit.
no $uch thing a$ a lil friendly help.
smh
Wait! $$$ for my review please.
nope. I already have it. the review, not the bed. … yet.
#imwaytootrusting;almostnaive clicked ‘send’ before remembering to hold out my hand
How could anyone sleep in that? Turn over on your other side and you’d feel like you were at sea in a gale force 96 wind.
It’s a cool bed. Planning to buy one. Already bored with the one on wheels.
Just when I think you can’t get weirder…….. 🤒
😎
😕 Do you drive to work in your bed?
I wish. But it’s only 3 steps from my home to my company. Literally. Sigh….
btw, fix the pix, dammit.
Say ‘please honey bunch sweetie pie petal’.
what you said.
Do it.
ditto?
I hope the President nominates someone for SCOTUS that none of the pundits have mentioned. They get everything wrong – why should this be any different
GM 99ts.
I’m secretly hoping you’re right.
MSM is so smug and snarky to begin with, absolutely intolerable as gloaters.
THey get everything wrong arapaho & bluff their way around such things – so it will be nice if they are wrong – despite all their guesses would be good nominations
A fitting role…
Yes, in the Senate!!!
Wrong. Let’s say instead: The man with multiple bankruptcies has completed an hostile takeover of the Republican Party tonight.
Might have to send that one to my sister!
The heroine of the Revolution…
Looking for more Irish omens! Isn’t it always said “No Republican in recent times has won the White House without winning Ohio?” Of course, this is the primary, but … at least Trump’s half way to being pummeled. Yay!
That’s my hope and prayer.
Good night Jacqueline.
Bonne nuit TODVille!
Goodnight! Sweet dreams when you get there, NCLB.
The problem with you, Ezra, is that no one cares about what you think.

Right now MO is a cliffhanger. 5% of vote left to count and it’s all in St. Louis area, mostly Clinton votes. Only 5k vote difference. She could pull it out. She will win IL for sure, 2% lead with 7% uncounted.
Somebody on another site mentioned they wished they could set their clocks ahead to past the November election.
One of the responses:
” … and miss the train wreck? Are you nuts? We’ll either have our first Jewish president, first female president, or our first Oompa Loompa president.”
