Republican Party officials say 18,650 voters turned out, triple that of 2012, and give the Texas senator 12 of the state’s 23 delegates.Let's put this in perspective. 290,437 Mainiacs voted for Mitt Romney in 2012.
The more the elite in politics and the media attack him – however merited – the higher Trump’s ratings go.
Louisiana stands on the brink of economic disaster. Despite all the cuts of the previous years, the nation’s second-poorest state still needed nearly $3 billion — almost $650 per person — just to maintain its regular services over the next 16 months. Edwards gave the state’s lawmakers three weeks to figure out a solution, a period that expires March 9 with no clear answer in reach.
Today, as the Buffalo News reported, we found out. Rep. Chris Collins, a mainstream Republican from Clarence, on Wednesday became the first sitting member of Congress to endorse bombastic billionaire Donald Trump for president. [emphasis added]
Vote against Trump if you detest him – I know I will – but let's have more faith in our country's capacity to survive someone as unqualified and loathsome as The Donald. The Republican Party might not survive President Trump. America most certainly will.
So, is the Louisiana primary winner take all? In short, no, it isn’t. In Louisiana, delegates will be distributed proportionally — for the most part. There’s a catch, though, that could result in some of Louisiana’s delegates becoming de facto superdelegates at the convention.
I need to tell you this story. It’s not a happy one...
I was working in Nevada during the 2012 Presidential Election helping to win the Silver State for Romney.
And I was there that night in November when the disastrous results were announced. One by one we watched the red counties light up the screen on election night.
We’d won 14 of them, but the largest two counties remained blue. All of Nevada went to Barack Obama as a result.
We were devastated. (from a 2/18/2016 email blast)
Mr. Christie appeared onstage at Mr. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla., on Tuesday, as his warm-up act and head-nodding affirmer. Seemingly minutes later, carefully cut videos started zinging around the Internet, analyzing every movement of Mr. Christie’s eyes, head and fingers for signs of duress, as if he were a prisoner of war.
