What if they held an election and nobody voted?
If there were a "None of the above" option, it would very likely be the winner in Nov.

The pols would be strongly informed how much they are despised, and that's always a positive thing.

“America is now ruled by a uniformly educated class of persons that occupies the commanding heights of bureaucracy, of the judiciary, education, the media, and of large corporations, and that wields political power through the Democratic Party. Its control of access to prestige, power, privilege, and wealth exerts a gravitational pull that has made the Republican Party’s elites into its satellites.
“This class’s fatal feature is its belief that ordinary Americans are a lesser intellectual and social breed. Its increasing self-absorption, its growing contempt for whoever won’t bow to it, its dependence for votes on sectors of society whose grievances it stokes, have led it to break the most basic rule of republican life: deeming its opposition illegitimate.”

Americas gays are these people, and they have same influence German Jews had in 1932. Jews were 1% of the population and 1/3rd to 1/2 of all MDs, lawyers, perfessers, and pols. But not in the army or on the farms.

Whites are the only group suffering "racism" in today's America (and worldwide).
They are the only major group demographically disappearing. Other major groups are demographically secure.

I hope Cruz does get the nomination. I don't want America firsters being blamed when the Clintons win in November. Even better have that Romney idiot steal the nomination and lose again.

Anyone else think caucuses are stupid? Nobody shows up. Few thousand people in most of these states. Nobody wants to go sit around for several hours listening to their neighbors give political speeches or harass you to vote for someone.

Bernie does win these kind of thing quite often. His supporters are sufficiently fanatical to do as you describe. Besides that, they have the time, because they are mostly unemployed and/or college students. Most other people have better things to do.
Of course they are stupid, except when they are devious, as in Kentucky this year. The only reason Kentucky switched this year to a caucus from a primary was because Rand Paul wanted it. He wanted to run for the presidency and the Senate at the same time, and couldn't if there was a primary instead of a caucus. Something about it being illegal to have his name on ballots twice, I think.

The word you want is PROTECTED. The also-rans are protected, the whites are fair game.
Tomorrow should be another big day for Trump. The GOP is holding primaries in Michigan and Mississippi and I expect Trump to win both fairly easily. There's also a primary in Idaho, and you would think he would win there also, but I'm less sure about that. There's also a caucus in Hawaii, but I'll be surprised if Trump wins there.

Trump would like to have Rubio and Kasich leave the race so he would go one on one against Cruz. If they don't, he won't go to the convention with a majority of the delegates, and anything could happen. The other former and present candidates might gang up on him and give their delegates to somebody else, either one of their number or another person such as Mitt Romney. Trump is sufficiently disliked that something like that would probably happen. This would benefit the party as a whole, I believe, because The Donald has less chance of beating Hillary than any of the other candidates.

In other news, Romney has filed with the FEC to run in the 2016 Presidential election.
If Trump wins tomorrow in Michigan and Mississippi, then wins in Florida and Ohio next week, he can win the nomination no matter who stays in or gets out.

With Romney getting into the races all be has to do is draw enough delegates to keep Trump from securing the nomination with 1237, resulting in a contested convention and Trump loses.
If Trump wins the four states I mentioned I don't think Romney can stop him.

Those for States won't put him over 1237 or even close to it. Currently he had just over 300, Rubio, Ksaich, and Cruz have as many between them. With Romney siphoning off even more he won't make it to the 1237 required to prevent a contested convention.
Of course they won't put him over 1237, but they will make it very difficult for anyone to stop him from getting there.
