On this week’s Curmudgeon’s Corner podcast Ivan and Sam start off talking about things OTHER than Election 2016. The upcoming small iPhone announcement, corporate reorgs, Kanye and The Pirate Bay, feedback on the show, and more! But of course then it is election time. They cover the Super Tuesday results in both parties, the Republican delegate math, the possibilities of a Republican schism, and everything else surrounding the race that they can think of.

Although there is no penalty, I thought both parties require a pledge that you were only participating in their process? Or does that not apply because one is a primary and the other a caucus or some such?
That’s only if you get caught. Nobody is going to check.
Cause of course, if I can do both, there is no question I will do both. :-). Btw, did you do the Rep caucus this year? And if do anything interesting to report?
Bruce Morton Ah, that is what I thought. You aren’t actually allowed to do both. The fact that nobody is going to check and there are no penalties so you can get away with it doesn’t change that…
Surprise surprise…low participation. There was a central committee meeting today and everyone is delusional that there will be a brokered convention. I need to refer them too your site.
Bruce Morton I’m still giving 20% or so odds of a brokered convention. Not impossible! And so far today Trump is falling below expectations and Cruz is exceeding them, so maybe those odds go up a bit. Still early in today’s counting though. That may change. To really get there though, you need non-Trumps winning big winner take all states like Florida and Ohio.
Doh! I just realized that I should have commented on the CC FB page.
Oh well. You can comment there too if you want. :-)
