You know, if I had my druthers, the primaries would be run the way the Republicans run them--winner takes all the delegates.

It seems to me that if delegates are apportioned, that'd be a disincentive for candidates to do their best, to put out their best, because they figure, "oh well, even if I don't win, I get at least some delegates."

Many of the republican primaries are proportional, that is why it takes so long especially after starting out with 17 candidates.

Well, I was referring to the Republican primaries that are winner take all.

Well, I guess I can quit being grouchy now.

Having given Connecticut to Methuselah, they called it back and gave it to the rightful winner.

But really, I'm kind of pissed at Rhode Islandians right now; surely they're smarter than that.

Or perhaps their brains are like their state; miniaturized.

As of right now, the delegate tally (Which includes all delegates, because all delegates count, whether elected or not.  Each delegate, whether elected or not, is one delegate, period.  Kapeesch, Bernie bullies?):

Messalina Agrippina 2,097
Methuselah 1,271

2,383 needed to win.

Well, Skips, I was hoping this would be it, but apparently not.

I was hoping that when I came in from out in the rain this noon, I'd see that in a show of primitive unity, Skins had folded the Bernie Sanders forum into the Hillary Clinton forum.

But apparently there's still some diehards holding out, reminding one of the Japanese soldiers lost in the island jungles who were still fighting the second world war into the 1960s and 1970s.

So there'll be another "open letter" next week as the live thread for the Indiana primary but addressed to whom, I have no idea yet.

I'm all eager to get going after the primitives supporting the worthier candidate, but I can't do that until the Bernie bullies have been laid low, humiliated. 

When one kills a rattlesnake, for example, one has to kill it twice; first, to kill it, and second, to be damned sure it's actually and truly dead.

The Bernie bullies, because of their obsession with just one thing--free stuff--are like fish in a barrel; the supporters of Messalina Agrippina are big game scattered all around a complicated environment (as compared with just swimming in a barrel), and sometimes deadly.  It's more sporting to go after the big game.

But alas, one must wait.....
