    I agree, the "winner-take-all" states are pretty decisive when in comes to political campaigns. The polls were remarkably accurate on Super Tuesday so we'll just have to wait and see what happens in the coming primaries. Ohio and Florida are looming. The biggest of "winner-take-all" states is California but that primary isn't until this summer. Last I checked, Cruz is in the lead there but a lot can happen between now and then.

    This time it is different between Hillary and Trump, the GOP are not as crazy as Trump the GOP will do their part responsibly and conscientiously to stop Trump. The GOP knows that Trump is worse than Hillary.

    I disagree, this is a primary election-and its Republicans who want Trump, as seen in the majority of races. The establishment (elites and their donors) might not, but there isn't much they can do-and they are getting blowback for that.

    Trumps going to be it-get used to the idea.

    Call for western civilization courses at Stanford gets backlash:

    The Stanford Review’s petition to bring Western Civilization courses back to Stanford has met with some backlash.

    Western Civilization courses have been absent from Stanford’s curriculum since the 1980’s when, according to a New York Times article, Rev. Jesse Jackson marched with students to remove the courses. Jackson, along with students, chanted “hey hey, ho ho, Western culture’s got to go.”

    Lefties are big on blaming the west for anything and everything.

    Newt Gingrich threw cold water all over the idea of a brokered convention, which Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol has been plotting. If no candidate gets 50 percent of the delegates on the first ballot, then on the second ballot the pledged delegates can become “un-pledged” and support whomever the party bosses tell them to support.

    “It’s childish nonsense,” Gingrich said. “There are two potential presidential nominees. One is named Donald. One is named Ted. The idea that some clever Washington intellectual or power broker — put quote marks around ‘power broker’— can step into an election in which millions have voted and magically change the trajectory of history? It’s goofy. There’s two players standing.”

    Gingrich speculated that Trump and Cruz might actually form an alliance, similar to how they did in the early days of the campaign, in order to prevent a brokered convention at the last minute.

    “If Trump is at 45 percent does he negotiate with Cruz?”

    “They will band together and have 85 percent of the delegates between them,” Gingrich said. “Both of these guys are committed to breaking up the old order.”

    “How is somebody who’s never run going to stand up on national television and on social media [as the brokered candidate] and not get run out of town?” Gingrich said, referring to a potential Mitt Romney, who could walk onstage at the convention after a backroom deal

    I'm looking forward to seeing Trump's defeat on election night.

    Also, don't forget that the delegates write the rules of the convention. With Ted and Trump having the vast majority of delegates, I think they could work together to block anyone else from sneaking in.

    There's actually many conservatives that don't believe ISIS is our problem and that the ME countries should handle it, so you can knock it off with the partisan hackery comments.

    There is some.....most know ISIS is our problem and that the ME Countries are to incompetent and to caught up into their sectarian divide to do anything about it. Many don't think they can handle such a serious matter on their own.

    Oh and save that BS about partisan hackery.....when you get the leftness around here to start doing it. I may consider it.

    Also.....All politics is partisan. Except for when it is Bi Partisan, and that just can't be changed from reality.

    So you're using the "But..but..but.. they do it too". Sorry that doesn't fly either. What you are saying is you are just as bad as the people you complain about. Yaaay you, feel proud to be the thing you complain about.

    And there are a lot more conservatives than you think that don't believe we should be the ones leading the charge against ISIS. This problem is not going to be solved by the U.S., it needs the ME countries to do it if it is to be successful long-term.

    No, I just don't put up with their BS and never have. Comes from a family that one side was Repubs and the other side Real Democrats. Not like what this bunch calls themselves now.

    And there are a lot of those on the Right not just Conservatives.....that thinks any means should be used. Conventional and non conventional. (non nuke) Oh, and many that don't think it is just a US problem. As Daesh is everybody's problem.

    There is a couple of threads up on what people here think should be taking place. You might want to check them out and see who is who.

    So this board is representative of all conservatives? I don't really care what the opinions of ONE message board are, but instead look at THOUSANDS of comments regarding the issue. Doesn't change the fact that not only liberals but conservatives as well think that we should have the ME leading the charge on ISIS.

    Oh and please with the whole "nuke them" thing, that is not ever going to happen because the majority of congress will not approve of such a measure and not even the Trumptard would do that. We would risk world-wide condemnation as well as sanctions against us all to satisfy some blood lust that some warmongering cons have.

    Did I say that, or were you lookin for more into something that no one said?

    Yeah well I work in the News Industry and I see more than just comments. Do you think your experience even compares. Mines 17 plus in this field of work.

    Not to good at reading are you.....what Part about non-Nuke didn't you get. Or did you want to say you didn't see that?
    So you can see why what you said with this is quite irrelevant. Oh and no need to fall off into that convo. You didn't want to see what any here said, remember.

    Despite many saying this place is full of those leaning to the Right.
