Join us during the day with some lively posts, and be sure to tell us what you're eating and drinking for the rally.
No Today’s Trivia until The Trump Train is back and way in the lead, and kickin’ dirt in the face of that two faced Cruz and the lacky, Kasich
So, I think we’ll kick this thread off with all of us standing up and singing as loud as we can, with are hats off, Merle Haggard’s Song, The Fightin’ Side of Me.

Merle Haggard
“The Fightin’ Side Of Me”
I hear people talkin’ bad,
About the way we have to live here in this country,
Harpin’ on the wars we fight,
An’ gripin’ ‘bout the way things oughta be.
An’ I don’t mind ‘em switchin’ sides,
An’ standin’ up for things they believe in.
When they’re runnin’ down my country, man,
They’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.
Yeah, walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.
Runnin’ down the way of life,
Our fightin’ men have fought and died to keep.
If you don’t love it, leave it:
Let this song I’m singin’ be a warnin’.
If you’re runnin’ down my country, man,
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.
I read about some squirrely guy,
Who claims, he just don’t believe in fightin’.
An’ I wonder just how long,
The rest of us can count on bein’ free.
They love our milk an’ honey,
But they preach about some other way of livin’.
When they’re runnin’ down my country, hoss,
They’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.
Yeah, walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.
Runnin’ down the way of life,
Our fightin’ men have fought and died to keep.
If you don’t love it, leave it:
Let this song I’m singin’ be a warnin’.
If you’re runnin’ down my country, man,
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.
Yeah, walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.
Runnin’ down the way of life,
Our fightin’ men have fought and died to keep.
If you don’t love it, leave it:
Let this song I’m singin’ be a warnin’.
If you’re runnin’ down my country, man,
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.

The top story on CNN and Morning Joe this early morning.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
The people of Colorado had their vote taken away from them by the phony politicians. Biggest story in politics. This will not be allowed!
BOOM!
“The people of Colorado had their vote taken away from them by the phony politicians. Biggest story in politics. This will not be allowed!”
So I suppose Cruz should have tweeted the same thing about Nevada when Trump won big there!? (No primary vote. Just the caucusing done in smokey back rooms.)
Trump coming up on Fox within the next 1/2 hour or so.
Hi Onyx!
Did you see this?

There was no caucus vote for presidential candidates in Colorado.
Morning all

Stonehouse01 and her husband are planning on going today and will be reporting in with a report
Have a great time SH.
Colorado: “hey man we got pot! We don’t need no stinking voters!”
We don’t need to ask what they be smokin. We know!
They also talked about the Boston Globe Lampoon paper, with articles as though Trump was president. The consensus was that the Boston Globe should also do a Hillary Lampoon edition.
The act that Ivanka and one son are not registered republicans so can't vote in the upcoming primary was raised. Trump was asked if he thought that was unfair. He thought the rule was fine, and said that Ivanka is embarrassed - "no more allowance." Ainslee asked if Ivanka not being registered would preclude her being named as veep. Trump said he had no intention of nominating her for veep (plus there is the rule about pres and veep not coming from the same state, never mind party affiliation).
I had the teevee on Fox from 7 am until the interview ended, that's it - back to TCM!
That was great. There are so many of him. He was so unassuming with his guitar playing. He did many of his songs in F, which are kinda of bear...then the ones he did in E, he played the chords up the neck, as if someone taught that way. And I think there’s a vid or two of him playing the fiddle.
Will add a bit of
MaMa TRIED
to the mix!
As far as I’m concerned, every Merle Haggard song is essential.
Good morning HM and all!
Thanks HM - will look at in a little bit.
There seems to be a fairly good explanation of the delegates in this thread:

There is a link in the thread above (post #15 by Bogie) to a “Fairy Tale” that is very cleverly written - here’s a direct link:
