This country must be in a parallel universe.

Trump must have a great laugh to hear the two Latinos hammer illegal immigration.

Rubio went so far as to want to change legal immigration to more educated/skilled immigrants vs family ties.

Imagine the Mexicans and other Central Americans reaction: Those f#@king Cubans!

'The Scariest Thing About Trump? He's Winning Fair and Square.'

"There was nothing left to do but laugh."

"Somewhere around nine o'clock ET Tuesday night, in the state of Illinois, Land of Lincoln, the voters in the presidential primary of the Republican Party, the Party of Lincoln, gave their overwhelming support to a vulgar talking yam. No talk of mystic chords of memory. No appeals to the better angels of our nature. With malice toward practically everyone who is not like him or like them." Charlie Pierce

Old Charlie is in fine form this morning.

Clue: Gerald Ford was never elected to the presidency. In fact, he was an appointed vice president, replacing Agnew when he resigned in disgrace.

Also, given the apparent point of your post, it appears that you equate the effects of some of our better presidencies with some of the worst. Please explain.

What are the chances that Trump won't have enough delegates to win the candidacy on the first ballot?

He's been the frontrunner since New Hampshire.
