    The good news for tonight

    ....is that Sen. Warren is taking a dive, may that continue.

    And Slo’ Joe absconded before you could say scat leaving his results party in the dust and supporters sucking wind. He actually thinks South Carolina is going to pull his fat out of the fire roasting his exposed corruption.

    The sad part is that the slim win boosts the fortunes of a candidate with a long trail of outright Marxist leanings. I am ashamed for the American electorate.

    Heard a theory that for multiple reasons.. moderate electorate getting fed up with Sanders and Warren (sorry, don’t know any cutsie cutsie names to call them).. and Biden vilified by talk radio.. Super Tuesday may just have Bloomberg out in front..

    Remember 2008.. and Virginia last year..

    Just my opinion, I could be wrong..

    I think Bernie at 27% with a full field of other candidates is close to his "ceiling" which might be closer to 30%. If you compare that to the 30% cultists on trumps side, that seems to be the natural limit of voting wackos.

    Bottom line---still plenty of room for a more moderate candidate.

    My theory.. NH, and all of the Northeast can be pretty liberal.. Iowa is a solid red state, any blue is in Des Moines, Ames and Fairfield.. I know Fairfield and blue Fairfield can be way off of the scale..

    We used to joke that a Georgia Democrat would be a Republican in Massachusetts or California..

    My $$$ is still on Bloomberg.. I witnessed the openly anti-NRA candidates win in Virginia..

    Just my opinion, I could be wrong..

    The good news for you today Is that the elections not tonight.
