Trump couldn't stand the heat so they took him out of the kitchen

Wow. Trump’s handlers just rushed journalists away after people start chanting “Lock him up” as Trump arrived in New Hampshire. pic.twitter.com/GjSdXdYCVJ

Sure could use a little good news

This has been a very good year for Democrats. Our third consecutive successful election against MAGA.

Very proud of my party, hopeful for my country. https://t.co/k1acYzoU2V

Say goodbye to Iowa?

"Perez has advocated allowing multiple states, possibly including South Carolina, Nevada and New Hampshire, to vote on the same day..."

I'd accept that compromise.#WeMatter https://t.co/6tgtVARJNJ

This

As a former GOP chair, I never thought I'd say this, but thank you to the Democrats for being good stewards of the Constitution when America needed them most.

Jesus, what a fucking idiot

Apparently jealous because of the recounts being proposed in a number of states that are taking attention away from his fragile ego, Donald Trump took to Twitter this weekend to claim he actually won the popular vote because of the many, many people who voted illegally in New Hampshire, Virginia, and California.

Idiot alert!  To wit:

• New Hampshire ranks 41st in the U.S. in total population--approximately 700,000 voters were cast there in November of which Hillary Clinton got slightly less than half, so unless virtually every single fucking Democrat voted illegally, it really wouldn't have made a shit's worth of difference in the 2.2 million votes Donald Trump is currently losing by.
• Even if you take away the fact that Tim Kaine is very popular in Virginia and went a long way toward ensuring Hillary Clinton's victory there, it's the same as New Hampshire--the number of Democratic votes that were illegal would have to have been in 30-40% range to really make much of a difference and that's really stretching it even for a republican moron.
• And last but not least, California...Hello!  McFly!  Jesus H. Christ, California might be the bluest state in the union and has given the Democratic candidate nearly sixty percent of its vote in the last three elections.  It's akin to Democrats claiming the vote was rigged in fucking Alabama.

Trump should have stuck to states like Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania--oops, guess he doesn't really want to go there either...

Fuck Donald Trump,

Three pennies for three thoughts

1)  Rachel Maddow noted on her show last night that Democratic turnout is down from 2008 in the first two primaries this year and wondered if this was cause for concern for Democrats (it should be noted that it's still at historically high levels).  It may well be, but I wonder if it has more to do with the fact that we have two very good candidates this time around and many Democrats will be happy to support either in November.  In all honesty, we have trouble getting Democrats to vote in the midterms and it's hard to imagine them taking the time for a primary when both candidates are appealing.

2)  At the risk of proving just how bad I am at political prognostication, is it possible that Jeb! Bush can mount a comeback in South Carolina?  Probably not, but with Marco "Hal 9000" Rubio, Ben "Delusional" Carson, and John "The Dullard" Kasich as the only republican establishment candidates left, you have to admit there is an opening for him.  Maybe his Mom can put in a good word for Jeb!....

3) Jim Webb announced today that he will not be seeking the White House as an independent  candidate.  Now it's entirely possible that reality set in and his advisers told him that an oak tree had as good of a chance as he did to be the next President, but I have to wonder if it had anything to do with Michael Bloomberg announcing that he was considering an independent run--pretty sure Webb can't sink a billion dollars into a losing campaign just because he thinks he knows better than the American people who our Presidential candidates should be.

Chutzpah aplenty in Neverland these days....

Much ado about nothing

For the record, I watched about five minutes of the coverage of Tuesday night's New Hampshire primary election results.  Once the projections were made (and nothing that was a surprise) it was on to bigger and better shows.  How the hell MSNBC spent the rest of the night covering it is beyond me--Christ, you could have called this one for Sanders and Trump three months ago.

That being said, boy was I surprised the next morning when everywhere I turned there were folks telling me that because 91% white New Hampshire had voted overwhelmingly for Bernie Sanders that the revolution had officially begun.  I mean it's over--Hillary can pack her bags and head back to upstate New York.

This despite the fact that the two split the Democratic vote evenly in New Hampshire, the fact that there is absolutely nothing in the national polling that shows Sanders had made the slightest dent in Clinton's rock solid support among people of color, and that the next two primaries are in states that are approximately 60% white (South Carolina) and approximately 50% white (Nevada).  I appreciate the fact that campaigns have to spin their victories (a la Clinton turning an underwhelming victory in Iowa into a big win), and Sanders may well win the nomination, but it won't have anything to do with his victory last night

So wake me when the real revolution begins--Clinton won New Hampshire in 2008 and we all know where that got her:  the Secretary of State gig and an eight year wait for another shot at the oval office.
