thank you

Early exit polls are more or less a steaming pile of horse manure. Many many people vote after work, plus Idaho is two hours earlier in time and Hawaii well beyond that. They may indicate a trend but they can also influence those standing in line.

Kasich is the absolute Washington insider. Nine terms in the House with special interest cash to fund that career, from special interests. Then he went through the revolving door to Lehman Bros. where with no banking experience he landed a job as investment banker and managing director.

Kasich was asked to release tax returns for all eight years at Lehman in 2010, but he only released his 2008 return and a 2009 financial disclosure statement. Those reports showed he made $1.4 million in 2008—including $265,000 as a Fox News contributor and $590,000 (his bonus was $432,000) from Lehman.

Folks here want to know how Trump is doing in exit polls we have yet to see?

Turn on Fox and just study their faces

Elated means Trump is in trouble

Ambivalent means there is hope to keep Cruz alive via Idaho

Dejected means Trump won as big or nearly as big as his polling

Geraldo and Eric Bolling grinning like they are the brownies means Trump rocked the house

Dana Perino and that little Yoda dwarf what’s his name looking like their puppy died Trump won

Sean looking confused how to play it safe....that’s the same face regardless

[cdnerds]

I don’t hate Ted... Im voting for Trump though.. if Ted gets it.. id love to see him debate and destroy Hillary.

You win the thread.

Trump winning the early afternoons in Hawaii is YUUUUGE (along with Michigan and Miss easily)! Idaho is all that’s up from grabs now, and that is solid Cruz territory. game over Teddie

[LS]

Trump just tweeted “I hear I’m doing very well in Michigan and Mississippi.”

That kind of taunting is annoying enough, even without substantive data.

When done before reliable returns or exit polls come in, it is absolutely infuriating.

Please stop.

Hoping Shillary feels the Bern in Michigan.

REUTERS ROLLING: TRUMP 40.2%, CRUZ 23.2%, RUBIO 14.5%, KASICH 11.3%

That works well.

[Kenny]

I’m so lost, where are you seeing this?

[wardaddy]

No kidding right

Righteous objective Sean explaining to us he actually knows these peoples

I notice Rush today was being sweet to Trump

That secret meeting with tech and tech media and GOPe really pissed him off

[wardaddy]

I bet he is

Idaho is a reach but would be mighty sweet

[STARLIT]

Saying he’s going to Trump Jupiter now. Where is that?

[paintriot]

If Cruz takes Mississippi, I would be shocked. At least here on the gulf coast it’s Trump territory.

And yet...and yet...it seemed he was covering his donkey, by allowing what appeared to me to be a Romney-inspired seminar caller on, railing and ranting about how she hated Trump and was voting *Kasich*...nonetheless, on the whole, he was nicer to Trump than he's been in quite some time.

[grania]

The grumbling about local budgets is true. All of the cuts Kasich talks about? They're in items that went to local budgets. And that situation about bringing in Amazon? Now because of that we have to pay sales tax on Amazon purchases....all to the black hole of a state budget.

He has been terrible for local budgets, and loves government programs. But I don't think he's evil.
