38 thoughts on “Today’s red state that Trump might lose: Mississippi”
Despite winning Mississippi's Republican presidential primary by double digits, Donald Trump could turn Mississippi blue for the first time in 40 years, according to a Mason-Dixon poll released Tuesday.
I am looking forward to reading the Republican National Committee's post-mortem analysis after this election. They did so well analyzing the results of the last presidential election.
Considering that some commentators are saying that TehRump's expected loss in Wisconsin might be due more to unfavorable demographics than to a decline in his popularity, this is interesting. Here's hoping this holds up…
Anyone see PBS's Independent Lens Welcome To Leith last night? http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/films/welcome-… About the attempted takeover of a tiny burg in North Dakota. That sent me to a site mentioned, the Vanguard News Network. Really vile. The number of white supremacist sites is disturbing. Trump people, I'm sure.
Besides the presidential primaries, there's also a state supreme court race between a Walker appointee (Bradley) and an actual good judge with a funny name (Kloppenburg). IIRC, Wisconsin state supreme court justices are elected to a 10-year term and the election is always in the spring, for some stupid fucking reason. I think Bradley was appointed after another justice retired/died, I forget. http://www.wpr.org/read-live-blog-coverage-wiscon…
The lunatic that got elected to the Travis County (Austin, Tx) GOP leadership did so because his name came before what was the more mainstream candidate. Apparently having a name later in the alphabet AND a 'funny' sounding one doesn't win that often.
I'm sticking around to see how the vote count on the GOP side goes down. The talking heads have been saying that if TehRump manages to hold on to 35%+ of the vote, he can write this off as a state with unfavorable demographics. If he goes below that, he may have reached Waterloo. Either way, I can't take my eyes off this trainwreck!
LOL…Canadian Anchor Baby, to the extent that that GOP is uniting behind you, it's only because they think Kasich can't win and Trump is even worse. They still hate your guts as much as the rest of us do, asshole…
Well, wouldn't that be something!

I figured I'd make this our live blog for the election returns.
So far, it's a tie.
The Politico site lists the ballots as saying 'uninstructed' as choice. Is this a lactose thing?

LOUD cheers for Heidi Cruz…I guess The Donald's idiotic re-tweet of that "a picture is worth a thousand words" photo cost him big. Good.
With 31% of the precincts reporting, 77 Wisconsinites have voted for Jim Gilmore. Feel the Gilmentum!
Now, with 60% reporting, 145 votes for Gilmore. Jimmentum!
Always vote for the handsomest politician!
He finished with 242 votes. Gilmomentum!

I saw a huge round Carson '16 magnet on a blue Cooper Mini today, on my way home. I don't know what to make of this.
A mini doesn't seem like the car a Carson supporter would drive at all.

If you lose your hat don't worry, just hold your hand up in the air and you'll catch someone else's.
Does that work with pants too? Asking for a friend.
Not sure, but here's a picture of the old home town from the Dirty Thirties:
