    I'm not to familiar with how this all works, but it would seem to me, in a state that voted for Obama. It is being completely rerouted back to republican. The numbers here show that Cruz had 51,666 votes. Hillary had 701. That is 73 times more votes than Hillary. If it wasn't so early, I could say the democrats are in trouble. We will see. Even Rick Santorum, who is in last place of the republicans, is ahead of Hillary by over double the votes.

    Am I confused on how this works? Or do I have that right?

    The democrats will not release full numbers of the vote tally which is why there are claims of voter fraud.

    However, it is a given that republicans had a far higher turnout then democrats from exit polling. Almost a 5-1 margin.

    Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I knew that she was having trouble but that is kind of shocking!

    She and her advisors should rethink my advice to link up with somebody who would add a philosophical element to her campaign?

    http://www.politicalforum.com/elect...on-brinkley-v-p-2016-presiden-usa-2024-a.html

    Dannion Brinkley for V. P. in 2016 and President of the USA in 2024.

    .............
    Another possible way for him to be useful in her campaign would be by creating a new office.............."Artistic Director of the NSA - CIA."

    She needs to reach out to both the political left and right................ as well of course to the political moderates to win this?!

    Theoretically........ the economic recovery of America and the world could be centred in HOLLYWOOD?!

    http://www.politicalforum.com/showthread.php?t=425300&p=1065774142#post1065774142
    Roger E. Nichols has asked Mr. Dannion Brinkley to serve as his V. P. candidate.

    I finally got a chance to look at the article.

    Does this mean that G. O. P. voters are really turned on and are going to the polls while Democratic Party voters aren't even bothering to leave their homes?

    There has been record turnout for Republicans in several states, not so for democrats.

    All of this on top of a miserable 8 years under democrat Obama.

    Dems are in a tight spot.

    There is absolutely no excitement for the democratic candidates right now.

    Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have been thinking a lot about that article that you linked to in the OP... and here is my conclusion:

    http://www.politicalforum.com/latest-us-world-news/445412-cruz-needs-donald-become-president.html

    Cruz... needs The Donald.... to become President!



    .... So how could either Cruz or Rubio manage something like that?

    I am thinking that he may want to make a trip to Israel.

    And once there.... he needs to speak with some people who have connections with The Vatican?!

    One possible title that might interest The Donald more than that of V. P. would be "Artistic Director of the NSA - CIA?!?!?!"

    ...........

    The Donald has been perfectly set up by G-d to play a role in JUBILEE 2017..... that might almost remind us of Moses / Moshe by the time the dust all settles and the smoke clears away?!

    ........

    Mr. Ted Cruz:

    Mr. Marco Rubio:

    You both need to take a serious look at the rather significant error that Mr. Mitt Romney made back in 2012.

    Mitt........... was too adversarial toward

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newt_Gingrich

    … Mr. Gingrich was very popular so...… by attacking Newt with too much vehemence.......... active members of the G. O. P. stayed home on election day and didn't even bother to vote!

    Mr. Ted Cruz....... Mr. Marco Rubio....... if you attack The Donald like Mitt attacked Newt.......... you could throw this away?!?!?!

    The implications of what happened in Iowa should be obvious...… President Obama has lost this election on Bernie and Hillary..... the only two people in a position of power to throw this away now....... is Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio!

    Iowa has 3 million people and 6 electoral votes. They are mostly rural religious crazies who are looking for handouts in corn subsidies. Hardly representative of the general electorate. If you think tens of millions of people are going to come out to vote for Cruz, you are delusional.

    I would argue that the next president has already been decided. The peoples vote doesn't matter. If it did, the democrats right now are getting stomped. Back in Iowa (voted for Obama), republican Rick Santorum was in last place of the republicans, while more than doubling Hillary's votes, who won the democratic side. This has continued throughout the South Carolina votes.

    If any president, needs to gain ties with the Vatican, we don't need that president. Stay away from the beast. The Vatican is the beast that once was, yet is not, yet is. I can go on if you wish.

    The Vatican has serious problems but....... almost a thousand years or so ago a prophecy was given that strongly indicate that Pope Francis.... will be the last Pope?!

    My suspicion is that Pope Francis is a truly humble man..... who is uncomfortable with the title that he has been given.

    The Jewish Bible predicts that the human "David" who is raised up as something of an Elijah to prepare the world for the fulfillment of Zechariah 14........ will term himself only a "prince" due to his desire to avoid the weight of responsibility that comes along with the title...."king?!"

    http://www.politicalforum.com/relig...wish-people-decades-before-jesus-returns.html

    Is King David raised up for the Jewish people decades before Jesus returns?



    Is King David raised up for the Jewish people a significant amount of time previous to when the feet of Messiah stand on the Mt. of Olives in fulfillment of Zechariah chapter 14?

    It is pretty obvious that Jesus/Yahushua expects us to believe in the specific fulfillment of the words of the prophets.

    "Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:" (Luke 24:25)

    "But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them." (Jeremiah 30:9)

    Lol.

    I love the arrogant left. So comical.

    I bet you defined them the same way when they voted obama?

    Have you ever been to the midwest?

    I live in the midwest. Whichever way they vote, they are still a bunch of rural corn subsidy welfare queens who thump bibles too much.

    I'm not surprised by this. People tend to turn out more during primaries when people think their candidate's position is threatened. At that point, most people were expecting Hillary to be the standard bearer for the party, so a lot of primary voters stayed home. Things will change once the elections come up.

    Leave Chicago once in a while. I did. And I have to tell you, most people from these rural areas have a tremendous amount of common sense, more so than I saw in my 10 years in Chicago.

    How does Europe, Hawaii, Iraq(x2) and Korea sound? Where have you been?
    I'll tell you. Hillbillies from rural areas are the minority in this country, and their vote should count just as that. Save your baseless 'common sense' assertions for the hillbillies.

    The urban areas that are coincidentally broke, crime ridden, full of corruption, and pretty much all and all a liberal paradise (read: hell hole)

    Like jobs from poor people, lets see how long you holier-than-thou urban folk are when you don't have anything to put in your stomach.

    Maybe in the part you lived in. It's not about holier than thou, it's about majority. Ya know, democracy? There are far more people living in cities than in rural areas. Therefore, what the rural yokels want is limited in its importance.

    I have came back to this discussion several times over this past week or so.

    This seems extremely significant to me.

    Is this general trend continuing that Democrats aren't as motivated to vote at this stage?

    Doesn't that mean that they don't really see much difference between Bernie and Hillary?
