Didn't take Ted Cruz long to start it off, of course.

It ain't gonna be you, Cruz. It just ain't.

I'd kinda like to keep a link to this tweet, so I can retweet it after a Clinton and/or Sanders win.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Meanwhile, on a day dominated by news of a SCOTUS member dying, and on a Saturday no less, the State Department releases a thousand more Clinton emails. LOL.

I thought all the emails were released already? Guess not.

I actually approve of Ted Cruz's honesty there. Shorter Cruz: "We as conservatives won't allow that liberal Obama to tip the balance of the Supreme Court if we can help it!" Duh.

I also liked how Carson said that the Constitution doesn't deal with a situation like this. And then talked about how Justices should maybe have term limits.

Yes, he was very close to having a good answer there, but then bumbled off like he usually does.

Is Trump forgetting which party he's pretending to be in?

Has Trump ever been so vocal about Iraq before? Is this going to hurt him?

I think there's plenty within his constituency who's seen or felt the horrors of the Iraq War close enough that they would have less than positive feelings on the excursion.
