  1. Point 6:
    Twitter/Facebook go “All in”.

    They appear to be positioning to flat-out abandon any semblance of neutrality.

    1. Tonight, as the chaos unfolded #TrumpRally and #Chicago would autofill but not for long. Twitter removed those autofill options. Who knows what other shenanigans they were engaged in.

    2. That will just propel Trump even higher.

      The WaPo had an interesting article that Trump supporters were true populists. The are anti-elitist, anti-expert, love America, and far less authoritarian than Cruz supporters.

      Sanders supporters are likewise anti-elitist but are extremely anti-authoritarian, yet hate America and trust experts. In the WaPo article they were called “cosmopolitan socialists”. I would call them “useful idiots” because under socialism they will be taught to obey.

  2. Oh, and problematic even 6 is Cruz is the nominee is that the DNC will file a ballot challenge against Cruz within the allotted few days when those are accepted (the span is short so people can’t knock out the opposing party with a late challenge). Depending on the different rules and filing periods in different states, if they game it right they could devastate the Republican ticket, with Cruz still running in some states, perhaps Romney in others, and nobody in a few of them.

    Today National Review endorsed Cruz and they were madly deleted comments about Cruz’s ineligibility, even comments citing numerous Supreme Court opinions. A couple of the people ended up on “auto-delete”. Either the particular commenters were particularly irritating or NRO’s new plan is to get Cruz enough votes to challenge Trump – and then replace him with an mainstream candidate after the COP does a mea culpa for knowing less about Presidential qualifications than you’d find in a junior high civics book.

    If Cruz actually gets the nomination and Hillary gets indicted, could we have the most bizarre election in US history where neither major party has someone on the ballot?

    1. “does a mea culpa for knowing less about Presidential qualifications than you’d find in a junior high civics book.”
      Read more. Most constitutional scholars think this is a non-issue.

    2. Better a man born on Canadian soil and raised an American than a man born on US soil and raised a Kenyan.

    1. If the current executive regime wanted a major terrorist attack on US soil, what would they do different? Not much if anything that I can see.
