I think this may be the "oh shoot" moment for Donald Trump: Independents in Florida can't vote for him!
But regular registered Republicans can vote for Rubio. Donald loses the celebrity factor.

Just announced that Clinton and Trump won here.
No surprise.
Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...

Donald Trump Independents? No such thing. Anyone who would vote for that cretin would have registered Republican.

Welp, it's Hillz v The Donald this November. Sad face for Bernie.

We are genuinely facing an existential moment in elections. Do we really want to become a third world country?
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

It was a long shot at best anyway, Rick. I'm extremely pleased that Bernie was able to run and that he got young people excited about politics. He also proved that a genuinely progressive candidate has a chance at grabbing the gold ring. Bernie pulled Madame Clinton farther to the left than she would have gone without his competition and showed her it was okay to proudly run on progressive measures.
Bernie Sanders, while he may not have become President, has become instead a genuine hero.
I hope he continues his campaign through to the end. His supporters deserve it.

And if Clinton really wants his supporters to go out there and vote her a Democratic Senate, she will announce a position for him in her administration before the election.

I think Clinton is the preferred candidate of Drudge. Sanders' problem is much of the rest of the race is proportional. He can win New York and California and not make significant inroads on Clinton's lead. I personally don't see their continued contest as detrimental.
Do you think that Trump will face any significant backlash from cancelling debates? Note is when they actually matter. I think Kasich made a tactical error in joining Trump in cancelling the FOX debate. Both he and Cruz has an opportunity for extended time and great visuals in an empty podium. Maybe next time?
