UPDATE:
Cleveland Cliffhanger? Prospects of a Deadlocked GOP Convention
The big winner in Iowa’s Republican caucuses on Monday night might not have been Ted Cruz. It may have been a nominating process that fails to yield a clear winner. A clear winner being a candidate who goes to Cleveland this summer with the presidential nomination in hand.
At the end of Monday night, which count really mattered? Delegates acquired. As of this writing, Cruz has bagged eight delegates, Trump and Rubio, seven each, with four other delegates going to also-rans.
Raw vote totals are what most folk tend to watch and weigh. But in 2016, it pays to more closely follow the candidates’ delegate totals. Thanks to the Republican National Committee (RNC), caucuses and primaries held prior to mid-March mandate proportional distribution of delegates based on candidates’ vote totals in given contests. Most early caucuses and primaries impose threshold minimums to win delegates (say, Alabama, with a 20% threshold).
Prior to Mid-March, 25 States, along with DC, Guam, and Puerto Rico, will hold proportional contests. That accounts for 1,022 bound delegates (“bound” being delegates committed to a candidate for the first vote). 45% of the bound delegates will be picked proportionally or in “hybrid” formats, which include triggering provisions for larger delegate yields for candidates who meet higher vote percentage thresholds. There are WTA (winner-take-all) thresholds, but those will be quite difficult to achieve.
Starting with Super Tuesday, March 15, most of the remaining states have opted to hold winner-take-all contests, though a handful will continue to make proportional distributions. From mid-March forward, 1,238 bound delegates will be chosen (Colorado’s delegates declare at convention).
The number of delegates needed to secure the GOP nomination is 1,237. There are a number of unbound (3 per state) and unpledged delegates. The unpledged delegates are mostly establishment picks who would factor in at a deadlocked convention.
Short of a breakout by one the major contenders (Trump, Cruz, and Rubio), it’s not hard to imagine a scenario where the proportional phase of the nominating process yields tightly packed delegate counts among the three. Complicating matters is if new life is breathed into the Carson, Kasich, or Christe campaigns (as improbable as that appears).
But, say you, won’t the nomination fight be resolved with Super Tuesday and the subsequent contests?
That could happen, but consider this prospect. Cruz, Rubio, and Trump take roughly a third each of the delegates in the proportional phase. For illustration, say, 340 delegates per man. That means in the winner-take-all phase, one of the principals would need to capture 897 of the available 1,238 bound delegates to win. That’s about 73% of the total or three out of every four delegates. Possible, but how likely? This assumes, too, that the principals are competitive with one another, affording each the chance to pick off states.
Cruz, Trump, and Rubio have the resources to stay the course. Trump is self-funding. Cruz’s fundraising operation is already solid and benefits all the more from his Iowa win. Rubio’s stronger than anticipated finish in Iowa boosts his fundraising. And as Rubio consolidates establishment voters -- as he began doing in Iowa -- and lesser establishment candidates drop out, expect a significant upswing in his campaign’s financial fortunes.
Writes Michael Snyder at “Before It’s News”:
[I]f no candidate is able to secure enough delegates, that means that we would end up with a “brokered convention”. The mechanics of a brokered convention can get quite complicated, but on a practical level what that would essentially mean is that the party establishment would get to hand select the nominee. And in case you are wondering, that would not be Donald Trump or Ted Cruz.
Snyder’s assessment is flawed in a couple of respects (though not his conclusion about the candidates).
“Deadlocked” versus a “brokered” convention, the more accurate designation is “deadlocked.” A brokered convention suggests that party bosses call the shots nearly exclusively. The party boss era in American politics is long past.
Though unpledged delegates -- who are likely establishment recruits -- will play a critical role at a deadlocked convention, it’s important to remember that bound delegates are only committed to their candidates on the first ballot.
Thereafter, they’re unbound. Candidates’ and, perhaps, dark horses’ (yes, a draft is possible) primary focus for vote gathering will be among all those plentiful unbound state delegates. If the convention deadlocks, it’s going to be the Wild West, with plenty of wheeling and dealing, barroom brawls, shoot-outs, shenanigans, and backroom deals. But all that will occur across delegations and not just among the establishment few.
Snyder’s guess that the nominee won’t be named “Cruz” or “Trump” should a deadlock occur is reasonable. Deadlocked conventions -- if past brokered conventions are any guide -- tend to nominee candidates who at least appear more centrist or moderate. At a deadlocked 2016 Cleveland affair, the buzz word may be “electable.” Right now, Marco Rubio seems to fit the bill. As Snyder pointed out in his article, that’s not an endorsement; it’s merely an observation.
If the Republican field narrows to two principal candidates, then the chances for a deadlocked convention melt away. But if, as anticipated, Cruz, Trump, and Rubio (and possibly one or two others) remain in the race, then a deadlocked convention moves from “maybe” to “probable” with each passing primary, caucus, and state convention. The Republican presidential nominee who emerges will have done so after the fight of his political life – and ours.

That's a strange view, it is bad for republicans to take loans from wall street but OK for Hillary to get huge donations. Seems to me you buy no loyalty from a loan you buy influence from a donation.
At the moment there are no FBI investigations on GOP candidates but Hillary has one on influence pedaling in addition to the Email scandal. The left should be careful trying to paint Cruz or Trump as dirty when they have a candidate like Hillary. LOL
You have to be stupid if you think the FBI would assign 150 agents to the case if they don't plan to push for charges based on evidence they have collected. The expansion of the charges being reviewed likely stem from those deleted emails they recovered.
If a republican had this going against them it would be front page news every day painting the party as corrupt, but you democrats know how corrupt your party is so its not news. LOL

UN proposes tax on Football tickets AFP, by Andre Violiaz Original Article Posted By: hpmatt- 1/17/2016 12:15:20 PM Post Reply United Nations (United States) (AFP) - A UN study of new sources of financing for its multi-billion-dollar aid operations is recommending a voluntary tax on football matches or concerts as one option to raise funds. More wars and natural disasters over the past decade have sent the price tag for global UN aid efforts skyrocketing, from $2 billion in 2000 to $ 24.5 billion in 2015, according to the nine experts who drafted the report. The report released Sunday in Dubai also recommended tapping into Islamic social finance and mandatory alms-giving (zakat) as well as improving the transparency of relief SpaceX plans launch and rocket

The White House came under fire on Saturday after reports surfaced that, in negotiating a swap of prisoners with Iran, it had been successfully threatened by Iran´s foreign ministry against implementing the new missile penalties. In October, Iran test-fired new ballistic missile models - designed to carry large payloads, particularly nuclear warheads - in violation of existing international laws.

The four are Jason Rezaian, the Washington Post´s Tehran bureau chief, Saeed Abedini, a pastor from Idaho, Amir Hekmati, a former Marine from Flint, Michigan, and Nosratollah Khosravi-Roodsari.

That contradicts months of Obama administration claims that the issues were separate. Pre-Debate – GOP Meeting Video

pardon of criminal Marc RichNew York Post, by Peter Schweizer Original Article Posted By: FlyRight- 1/17/2016 6:57:27 AM Post Reply Fifteen years ago this month, on Jan. 20, 2001, his last day in office, Bill Clinton issued a pardon for international fugitive Marc Rich. It would become perhaps the most condemned official act of Clinton’s political career. A New York Times editorial called it “a shocking abuse of presidential power.” The usually Clinton-friendly New Republic noted it “is often mentioned as Exhibit A of Clintonian sliminess.” Congressman Barney Frank added, “It was a real betrayal by Bill Clinton of all who had been strongly supportive of him to do something this unjustified. It was contemptuous.”Marc Rich was wanted for a list What Donald Trump’s Plaza Deal
Reveals About His White House BidNew York Times, by David Segal Original Article Posted By: Honeybadger- 1/17/2016 6:18:05 AM Post Reply The day Donald Trump called and asked for a one-on-one meeting in the winter of 1988, Tom Barrack was a relative newcomer to the high-stakes poker game of New York real estate. He had worked for nearly two years for Robert Bass, the Texas billionaire investor, and had played an important role in winning the Plaza Hotel for his boss the year before. Mr. Trump was the country’s most quotable and ostentatious financial celebrity, a guy with a jet, a 282-foot yacht and a fondness for peach-toned marble. But among the people he negotiated with, Mr. Trump had a reputation for

UN eyes tax on football tickets to
pay for humanitarian aidAgence France-Press, by André Viollaz Original Article Posted By: JoniTx- 1/17/2016 2:17:40 PM Post Reply United Nations (United States)- A UN study of new sources of financing for its multi-billion-dollar aid operations is recommending a voluntary tax on football matches or concerts as one option to raise funds. The report released Sunday in Dubai also recommended tapping into Islamic social finance and mandatory alms-giving, or zakat, as well as improving the transparency of relief operations to cut costs. More wars and natural disasters in the past decade have sent the cost of global UN aid efforts skyrocketing, from $2 billion in 2000 to $ 24.5 billion in 2015, according to the nine experts who drafted Donald Trump Ramps up Attacks on

Mexican restaurantDaily Mail (UK), by Staff Original Article Posted By: JoniTx- 1/17/2016 1:27:49 PM Post Reply Hours after sanctions on Iran were lifted as a result of Barack Obama´s nuclear deal, the president and his wife Michelle enjoyed a Saturday night out at a Mexican restaurant where they celebrated the first lady´s 52nd birthday. On the menu: grasshopper tacos for $5. The Washington, DC restaurant Oyamel Cocina Mexicana is a low-key choice for dinner by presidential standards. The most expensive item on the dinner menu is the roasted lamb chop for $18.50. Oyamel has a three-and-a-half star rating on Yelp.

reportedly hit by green laserFox News & Associated Press, by Staff Original Article Posted By: ScarletPimpernel- 1/17/2016 1:11:33 PM Post Reply A plane aiding in the search for 12 missing Marines, whose helicopters crashed off the Hawaiian island of Oahu, was reportedly hit with a laser Saturday forcing it to alter its course. A Coast Guard spokeswoman told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser that if crew members had been directly exposed to the green laser, the C-130 Hercules would’ve had to make an emergency landing and the crew would’ve been examined. Laser exposure could cause temporary blindness. Pointing a laser an aircraft is a federal crime. Officials released the names of the 12 missing Marines late Saturday whose choppers crashed on Thursday. The Airport workers plan disruptions

The workers — a mix of cleaners, baggage handlers, fuelers and wheelchair attendants — will risk arrest at airports and other locations including the National Mall, to bring attention to their campaign for better wages, the Service Employees International Union said. The actions are the latest in the airport workers’ campaign for a $15-per-hour minimum wage, benefits and job protections. They’re also protesting threats against their efforts to unionize.

Obama says a ´smart, patient and disciplined approached to the world´ has seen results. He spoke from the White House on Sunday, one day after the United Nations certified that Iran had curbed its nuclear program as promised. ´This is a good day,´ Obama said in a statement from the White House. ´When Americans are freed and returned to their families, that´s something we can all celebrate.´ SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO -(Photo/Video) The president spoke at the close of an extraordinary weekend of Chicago TV executive strangled in

An autopsy on tourist Anne Swaney, 39, revealed the violent end to her warm-weather getaway at the Nabitunich Resort, authorities said Saturday. Cops were questioning a Guatemalan national found fishing in the area where Swaney’s corpse was recovered. The man denied any role in the savage killing, said Superintendent Daniel Arzu of the Benque Viejo del Carmen police.
