Missing the storm

Thankfully the weather forecasters were once again confounded.  Instead of a late winter snow dump, we got a dusting of frozen precipitation and much warmer temperatures.  Meanwhile, the voters spoke, sort of, on Super Tuesday.  Trump and Clinton won enough to be the clear front runners, but not enough to put away their rivals for the nominations.  It looks like all five remaining republicans will continue, even Ben Carson.  Although in Carson's case if he sells out the latest printing of his book he may well retire after an extremely well paid grift.  John Kasich couldn't even win Vermont, but will continue to slog until Ohio votes, most likely for Trump.  The Marcobot has until Florida votes before his ignominious retirement to 4 years of wingnut welfare waiting for the 2020 elections.  Ted Cruz on the other hand made the case for his continued candidacy with wins in three states.  I think his appeal is very limited outside of the south, but the clown car will continue to circle for a few more weeks.  On the Dem side, Hillary looks very strong among voters who hate The Donald, but is still weak among young white millenials and older white professionals who believe Bernie is the best vehicle to change the corrupt system of campaign funding.  Sanders will keep running until he loses some of the larger states like New York, and then hopefully will retire and run the DNC in a 50 state charge for 2018.   That's my take.
