4 out of 5. Not bad. And now Marc Rubio has seen the handwriting on the wall and quit.
Why he waited until Super Tuesday.He was huniliated the worst of all, what with Trump getting
a 'blowout victory' - taking ALL 99 delegates - in Rubio's state.
The only state he lost was John Kasich's Ohio, ceding 66 delegates to Ohio's governor.
So there is still work to be done, but the record is rather clear on who the people want.
Tired of terrorists and lefty do-gooders who write letters to Obama asking for their release?
And you want someone in power who can build things?
None of the candidates are really on track here. I like Bernie Sanders, and am sad to see he lost so badly to Clinton.
The Daily News featured a letter about her from someone waiting trial in New York, John Pivetz, who is patiently fighting to prove his innocence, and asks why Clinton is not also awaiting trial - Whitewater, the sale of influence, etc. etc. Maybe he could add treason too it too. And what about her sexual predation as depicted in what was to be a Congressional report - which, when she was mentioned, got dropped, and one of the authors - former Defense Intelligence Agency executive Mark Phillips, threatened.

Super Tuesday around the corner
Donald Trump is clearly in the lead to be GOP candidate. But there are 11 states to go, with Super Tuesday just around the corner. So journalists and pollsters are busy, everyone trying to get the crystal ball as clear as possible.
Trump's wins are a surprise to many. Jeb Bush saw the signs, cut his losses and pulled out. It's up to Ted Cruz of Texas and Marc Rubio to hope that they can change the tide. Now that Cruz's underhanded campaign tactics have come to light, it may only be up to Rubio. Both are from states with lots of voting power.
But the voters even in their states seem to like Trump better. In a front page Wall Street Journal article from Wednesday (24 Feb.), Janet Hook and Arian Campo-Flores interview the Republican voters in the south, and typical quotes were:
"I want somebody that can win. His success in business is unparalleled. He can run the country" - Jeannie Svenson, a retiree and evangelical Christian from Alabama.
"I'm not looking for a preacher. I;m looking for a man who leads" - Bonnie Shanahan, also a retiree and and Christian from the same state.
Not only does the article give us these quotes, but that country/rock singer Donica Knight is planning to wite a song about Trump and gift it to the campaign.
So we'll see, and thanks to the WSJ for its balanced reporting. I take umbrage at the New York Times and other papers that try to undermine a campaign, four years ago for instance many were bashing the Ron Paul campaign and failing to report its wins in the caucuses. The NYT is especially slanted even towards left wing governments, constatly failing to mention the advances that Evo Morales has made in Bolivia, but then reporting on a daily basis the votes a fourth term.
Expect major papers in the US to be slanted, if for no other reason, other candidates are spending money on ads, while Trump openly admits he is getting so much free publicity he does not need to buy the press. Way to go!
