| Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | On Super Tuesday, Trump won Louisiana with 124,818 votes to 113,949 for Cruz, 33,804 for Rubio and 19,355 for Kasich. There was a threshold to receive delegates and it seems Kasich did not Delegates were assigned 18 Trump, 18 Cruz , 5 Rubio, 0 to Kasich with 5 unassigned. Cruz's organization is trying to get all of the 10 delegates (5 to Rubio and 5 unassigned). Trump is suing and he's angry. My takeaway from this is that the rules are not very clear what to do with delegates that are unassigned or went to people who have withdrawn from the race. Since the only time since WWII that the Republicans have gone to convention without a clear nomination was 1976, the rules may never have been made crystal clear. |

Water is wet and boils at 100 C at sea level. We are stating the bleeping obvious, yes? Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 148 Posts: 25978 | Listening to Trump talking about what he's done in NYC at the RNC dinner. Really impressive in the first 15 min. The amount of hands on experience with actually doing real things in the real world, nobody can touch Trump. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Trump vs. Hillary (or any of the rest) to me looks a lot like this! War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 148 Posts: 25978 | Ever notice that nobody in the media ever mentions that Hillary is the former First Lady to a president that got impeached by the House of Representatives. You have to know that if it was a Repub ex president, they would mention it every time they said her name. If Trump gets the nod, I hope he dwells on this, you know he wants to. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Some do, Rush and a few others. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton are the only two presidents to have been successfully impeached by the House of Representatives, and both were later acquitted by the Senate. The impeachment process of Richard Nixon was technically unsuccessful, as Nixon resigned his office before the vote of the full House for impeachment. To date, no U.S. President has been removed from office by impeachment and conviction. Many people seem to confuse the word "impeachment" with a successful conviction. Impeachment is actually similar to indictment. An indictment , in the common law system, is a formal accusation that a person has committed a crime. |

He was still impeached, not a small thing. He was disbarred in Arkansas, and in 2001: 'The US supreme court yesterday issued an order disbarring former president Bill Clinton from practising law before the high court. The ruling is seen as marking the official end of the Monica Lewinsky scandal.' This is a very big deal. If it was the wife of a Repub, we would be reminded of it daily. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
