The Torch of Endorsements: Make Your Case for Your Candidate

[XLFD]

Unless you've been locked away for awhile, you couldn't help but miss that the Michigan primary is coming up this Tuesday, March 8th.  The Republican ticket features four candidates still actively running for the office, Ted Cruz, John Kasich, Marco Rubio, and Donald Trump, the Democrat side has Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.  The last debate in each party occurred right here in Michigan within the last week; both offered some interesting moments.

These primaries offer more stark differences than you usually see at this point in the election and have brought out historically massive participation in the states prior to our primaries.  Between now and before the polls close tomorrow state the case for your favorite candidate, tell the rest of the community why you're undecided at this point, or tell us why you will refrain from voting for any of these jokers.  The latest Michigan polls indicate big leads for both frontrunners Trump and Clinton.

Well you do have to admit a lot of Obamas failures were because of the party of NO. The Republicans shut him down on just about everything.

I don't think the Republicans stopped Obama on anything. The only thing that was temporarily put on hold was amnesty for illegals and it was Cruz who almost single handily achieved that.  The "Party of No" was a made up term coined by the Democrats to make it appear that nothing was being accomplished because of the Republicans, when in fact almost all of the Democrats agenda has been accomplished. Just like imaginary "war on women" and "the wall street 1 percenters" were all fictitious events created to brow beat Republicans. And they worked.

I think Willy has my vote on this score. Moreover, spoiled messiah Obama wasn't happy with all he did win, he went so far as to tell the entire country that "I have a pen and a phone, and will bypass congress". The RINO's didn't do much the last 7 years, and that's why everyone is fed up with politics as usual from them, and support a non-politician over any insiders. Btw, Trump won Michigan and Mississippi tonight, and will probably win Hawaii and Idaho by morning.

The results are in from the primary elections and here are the two surprising results, one perhaps historical:

1)  Trump wins handily as predicted by polls, but Cruz edges out Kasich for second, though it was close enough that both got the same amount of delegates (17).  Rubio finished under 10% and received nothing.  The surprising result is that Kasich did apply himself here much more money and time spent than Cruz, who over-performed according to polls.

2)  Sanders was down well over 20% points in several recent polls, none showed him within the margin of error of winning, but he won by 1.5 percentage points over Hillary.  Both the FiveThirtyEight polls-plus and polls-only forecast gave Clinton a greater than 99 percent chance of winning. That’s because polling averages for primaries, while inexact, are usually not 25 percentage points off.  The Democratic primary has finally become interesting just due to this statistical improbability and the red flags it gives to Hillary.
