We've got a Gen X editorial writer that was a Rubio fan. In South Carolina, that was what I noted about Rubio's support. He did well with the people his parent's age (64 up), fellow Xers (30-44) and stunk with millennials (under 30) and younger Boomers (45-63).

Maybe those groups knew Rubios from work. They thought they knew a lot more than they did and deserved everything given to them!

What's interesting is how negative towards Rubio the post-mortems in the days before Florida were. Its like all those people who were for him because he was "electable" are dumping all the negatives. Claims he got into law school because of political connections. Got cushy jobs that didn't require him to work much because of his connections. Couldn't manage his money. Double crossed everyone who helped him along the way. Claims his team of fellow 40 something "bros" was really arrogant (that much was obvious all along) and/or lazy and thought they could win solely with Marco's personality. Never applied himself in high school (2.1 GPA) and took a while in college.

As much as I hate Hillary Clinton and think she would be an absolute trainwreck of a President, I must say… I find it hilarious that she is wiping the floor with Bernie Sanders. His supporters have got to be the most annoying group I’ve ever seen. This whole millennial, hipster, “Occupy” group of morons we’re dealing with are being shown that while they may rule social media, they are NOT the majority they think they are, that most Americans DON’T think like they do, and that they are entitled to absolutely jack squat. Hashtags and clever slogans aren’t enough. Bernie isn’t just losing… he’s getting SHELLACKED. Sure, he’ll pull out a few states.. but this has been brutal.

However, I don’t know who is more oblivious… Clinton voters? Or Bernie voters? Clinton voters either are ignorant to the fact (or just don’t care) that Hillary is under FBI investigation for multiple felonies regarding national security, she intimidated and harassed Bill’s sexual abuse victims, she accepted large sums of money for political favors, and has been a pathological liar since she crawled out of the shadows in Arkansas. Bernie voters, on the other hand, are just ignorant to how the US economy works. They are buying into promises of free stuff, and are getting high off of Sanders’ acknowledgement of their victim mentality… that it is the big bad corporations and rich people that are to blame that they’ve never made anything of themselves or are in debt. They don’t consider for a SECOND that maybe the $150,000 they owe for the Latin degree they received from a private college is their OWN fault. I see Bernie supporters as spoiled kids whose parents are validating every ridiculous, selfish, outlandish complaint they might have. Only the parents don’t have the money to pay for even a TINY percentage of what’s being promised.

I swear, I have no idea what could possibly compel anyone with common sense to vote for EITHER Clinton or Sanders.

But I must admit, I do enjoy seeing all the Bernie hipsters in disbelief that their old codger is getting pounded.

A lot of Ohio Democrats registered as republicans today to vote against Trump and for Kasich.

If they registered today (or yesterday), they were ineligible to vote. The deadline to register was a month ago. Ohio was a semi-closed primary, meaning you had to be a registered Independent or Republican to vote in the Republican primary. If you were a registered Democrat, you could only vote in the Democratic primary.

You had to be registered to vote a month ago. In Ohio you select your party affiliation at your voting site right before you vote. As you sign in you select which primary you want to vote in.

I thought the delegates are still tied to Rubio through round 1 Dawg...? That's why the candidates all say they're "suspending" the campaign, and not "removing themselves" from the campaign.

They can't add any more afterwards (at least I don't think they can), but I thought the ones they had were locked in?

No, candidates "suspend" their campaigns because of a legal technicality that allows them to raise money to pay off their debts, whereas removing themselves does not. From my understanding on what I read last night, Rubio's delegates are free to vote for who they want on the first ballot.

Yes

Then you take a look at the slate of candidates running on the GOP side and it becomes obvious why Clinton gets the support she has. 😎
