Ted put in a  good show.
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

Well, WillyT can kiss franksolich's ass.

At the beginning of this evening, Messalina Agrippina was ahead of Methuselah by 701 delegates.

She's slipped to being ahead by.....685 delegates.

There's not that many delegates yet to be selected; the old sourassed sourpuss probably shouldn't have even bothered trying to win Wisconsin tonight, for all the good it did him, as it's pretty much impossible for him to catch up.

After this is over--I wish it'd hurry up and be over, myself--I expect the sore losers are going to demand two changes in the way the Democrats select delegates.

They're going to want to do away with the superdelegates.

They're gong to insist upon "winner take all" primaries, instead of apportioned delegates.

It's the way Democrats are, always tinkering with things; they won't leave simple enough alone, but instead always have to tinker with it, manipulate it, to bring about a certain desired result.  And after the first time it doesn't go their way, they change it.

On to the convention!  :fuelfire:

Well, I'm not so sure why there's so many long grim faces on Skins's island this morning.

Methuselah was expected to win Wisconsin, and he did.

Methuselah was expected to win by an overwhelming margin, or so the Bernie bullies promised us, and he didn't.  He won by a healthy margin, of course, but one would hesitate to call it an overwhelming margin.

Realistic people knew that no matter how big the margin, Methuselah wasn't going to pick up many more delegates than Messalina Agrippina would, and he didn't.

I of course would have liked it had the lady done better, but she could've done considerably worse, and didn't.

So franksolich remains of steadfast good cheer, and suggests that Wills & Co. do the same.

In the meantime, Willy's probably making a list of the free stuff he expects, and checking it twice, but really, inevitably, Willy might as well save the paper for wiping his ass as that's all the good his list'll do him.

The voters affirmed Walker's State Supreme Court appointment of Judge Bradley by electing her to a full 10 year term. This is big because the Walker hatred the left was counting on in future elections was not there last night.

Hey Willy.

What is this shit?

Geezuz, every time I think you guys have demonstrated the maximum possible gall, the maximum possible chutzpah, the maximum possible nerve, you top it once again.

Sanders aide: Don't destroy Dem party to satisfy Clinton's 'ambitions'

A top aide to Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders warned late Tuesday that rival Hillary Clinton is running a divisive campaign that is hurting party unity.
 
"Don't destroy the Democratic Party to satisfy the secretary's ambitions to become president of the United States," Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver told CNN.

"We want to have a party at the end of this that we can unify," he added.....

Uh, how about not destroying the Democrat party because of Methuselah's lust for power?

Hey Willy, you gotta read this.

It's the Associated Press, but I suppose I can get away with quoting this:

Quote
Why Sanders keeps winning but may not be Democratic nominee.....Sanders is far behind Hillary Clinton in the race for delegates that will decide the nomination. He'll need 68 percent of those remaining to win. Even after his recent run of success, Sanders is nowhere near that pace......

I warned you, Willy, that you were backing the wrong horse.

But you weren't thinking of anything else other than which candidate was going to give you the most free stuff.

Too bad, Willy.

Suffer, Willy.

Kiss my ass, Willy.
