It Ain’t Over Yet: Part Two
Yesterday, the Republicans held a primary in Louisiana and caucused in Kansas, Kentucky, and Maine. Ted Cruz stomped Donald Trump in Kansas and defeated him handily in Maine. In Louisiana, he lost to Trump by 3.6 percent, and in Kentucky, Trump beat him by 4.3 percent. Marco Rubio came in a distant third everywhere but Maine, where John Kasich forced him into fourth.
What we have here in states where only Republicans can vote in the primary or caucus is a real horse race, and that, I believe, is what we are going to see down the line. In Rubio’s absence — and I suspect that he will soon be absent — Cruz may well snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Stay tuned!

What this thread shows is that there are people who are way too influenced by the images that the MSM wants them to see.
“What is truth?” (John 18:38) {:-)
Have to slightly disagree. MSM just wants our eyeballs seeing their images . . . what the images are is driven by what they know from trial and error we want. Consumer demand rules. We’ve become fundamentally shallow . . . call it the Kardashian effect. “More cleavage, please!” MSM serves the need, it doesn’t create it. It plays to our laziness, shallowness, lustfulness . . . sure, but we’ve got to own that laziness and shallowness, etc.
None of the foregoing applies to the Ricochetti . . . of course!
It’s a balancing act. They need to promote their evil ideology in order to give their worthless lives a sense of purpose, but they also need to provide enough of what will get people to pay for it.
I stay immune by not watching TV except for helping Mrs. Reticulator watch Big Ten football and basketball. So I’m about to get my annual television fix. She’s talking about cutting back our cable subscription as soon as the NCAA championship is over.
There is something to be said for that, unless he is elected and then must get things done. That is when staying power will count.
Ugly and … Ugly is Hillary! Ugly and honest? I assume that is Cruz. The Donald is somewhere between those choices but on the fence he is the best.
There are people who think Beck and Levin are fools, wrapped in orbit around their own thinking.
I just thought I’d leave this here for a little light reading.
Rubio gets highest job approval rating in new Florida poll
Another little interesting tidbit, submitted for people’s consideration.
Rubio closing gap in Florida, dominating early voting.
Not surprising.
Thanks for the update . . . it’s really good to know that a “new” poll from AUGUST shows 43% of Floridians disapprove of Rubio’s performance in the Senate. Now I’m on the edge of my seat to discover how he did in September.
