      I have never met anyone who supports Trump in real life. But my neighborhood is like the bizarro Provo: lots of people feeling the Bern!

        Wow! In Provo. I could see feeling the Cruz, but not the bern. Do you know what attracts them to Bernie?

          That's a great analogy. Maybe in another decade he'll have some more experience, and be a better contender then.

Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

            The media was setting up for a Bernie campaign stop in front of Sylvia's in Harlem when I walked to the train this morning. My wallet only had a dollar in it, but it still felt the Bern.

              LOL, I did too. I am not part of the rich, but well off enough that all this talk about income equality has got me thinking a bit. So I left a 50% tip this morning at breakfast. It isn't going to be a common occurance though.

                Rubio is vacating his Senate seat. He'd have to find some other perch to get the necessary experience. It's unlikely that he would accept being a Rep., which really only leaves governor. Rick Scott is in office until 2019 in Florida. Maybe he lands there but I doubt it. A loss here might just be the end of the line for Marco. Best guess is that he lands as a well-compensated Washington lawyer and finishes his days out there. Maybe he takes a shot at governor of Florida later. He's young but once he sees the money from being a partner at one of those firms he may not want to give that up.

                    There's that, of course. I guess I could have added that one in there

                    In reality, though, that's still a pretty dead-end job. Rubio's career has been marked by a couple of alternating goals: rise politically as fast and as far as possible and make money. I still put my money on him cashing out.

                      My firm blocks certain web site a couple I pulled up for the polls in South Carolina were blocked. Anyone kind enough out there to give me the latest poll numbers. If not, I can wait until I get home.

                        I don't believe there are reliable poll numbers that would reflect the NH primary.

                          Overheard on the radio that both Christie and Fiorina are dropping out.
                          One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

                          I believe religion has much inherent good and has born many good fruits.

                              Christie I think announced it last night.
