I predict wins by Lincoln, Angle, Taintz, Haley, Whitman and that Italian sounding rich businessman. What? ---

And she goes down 3-1. What were you guys thinking? Angle getting nominated is the best thing that’s happened to Harry Reid is years. I predict she goes down in defeat, not being palatable to Vegas and the surrounding areas. ---

Am I on ignore, here? She LOST. LOST. BADLY. At no point that I saw was she seriously in play for a win. SHE LOST! LOST! ---

Correction: Orly lost the primary. I’d restore California’s points, but … Carly Fiorina. Decision stands. ---

> [@Enfant Terrible](#): > > Don’t you feel better, getting to say it yet again? 🆒 I’m somewhat disappointed, to tell the truth. I was so looking forward to a loooong campaign by Orly. Just the months of expressions of pain and despair on Republicans’ faces would have been worth the (infinitesimal) risk of her winning. ---

> [@Enfant Terrible](#): > > :eek: > > She has no chance in the general. Of course she doesn’t. But sometimes it’s fun to play ‘oh god we’re all gonna die.’ Like, say, everyone was a moron and just voted for the name they recognized. ---

Well, Matthews certainly jumped the gun on that. Like I said I didn’t have any idea if he knew what he was talking about or not. He obviously didn’t. ---

I’m disatisfied with the Republican Senate nominee in Nevada-she’s an unconstructive extremenist. ---

Well, she wants to ban alcohol, favors the scientology Purification Rundown treatments for prisoners to redeem them, wants to end the IRS, Social Security, the Department of Education, the EPA… few other fun things. So she’s a little more unconstructive than usual. ---
