I think it would be interesting to see if he's had any trouble with the law since then. I'd guess not, so really he just aided in the rehabilitation of a family member who once made a mistake but is now a productive member of society for all we know. It's just such a non-story that the fact that this is the best they could come up with is the larger story.
You know there's a laundry list of jobs he could've taken without needing his Bro-Law to pull strings in such a public way. I'm not talking about blue collar work that most cons barely get either. But I suppose his specific set of skills were better suited for the Florida real estate market.
He didn't really "pull strings", he wrote a character reference. That's not the same thing at all. Again though, since there isn't anything legitimate to try and pin on him, I guess some just want to go with what little they found.
How will Super Tuesday winnow the field? My best guess is Carson will drop out after Tuesday (when he should have dropped out after Iowa). Kasich should have dropped after New Hampshire, but I'm guessing he will stay in through the March 8 contests. Any chance we see either Cruz or Rubio drop?
None. Cruz won't ever do the right thing and drop out and Rubio is the only Republican left with a realistic chance at winning the national election. I'm not even certain that Carson and Kasich will drop out unless they are having money problems. Cruz will win Texas and that'll be enough to make the Canadian think that he actually has a chance.
It won't. Cruz and Rubio both see themselves as the Trump alternative and are so close its understandable. Kasich is in through at least Ohio. Carson is in because of "principle"...whatever that means.
More bad news for Rubio http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/02/2...egion=bottom-well&WT.nav=bottom-well&referer=

I believe you had to register 30+ days prior to the election. Go to http://www.votetexas.gov/ for all info.
I am referring to the primary elections. You can still register now for the general election in November. It says it on the FAQ concerning the primary election on Tuesday: You can double check whether or not you are registered by using your license number (or name) and DOB on that site as well (when you click on the "Find My Polling Place" button).
Heard today, from a Republican strategist (forgot his name), that if Cruz, Rubio and Kasich stay in the race, they can deny Trump from reaching the 1237 delegates he needs to be the GOP nominee. Apparently, for Trump to reach 1237, he has to win all of winner-take-all states, including OH and FL. So if either Kasich or Rubio win his state, Trump cannot reach 1237 and the fight will have to be settle at the convention.
That's just as destructive as letting Trump win. A brokered convention will look terrible and you know Trump will run as a third party just to stick it to Republicans for conspiring against him. Also having them all stay in could also be damaging since a lot of states have a 20% threshold to get delegates and if they properly split the vote, they'll screw each other out of delegates and give them all to Trump. The easiest way to stop Trump is for everyone to drop out and just hope Rubio can beat him. As long as they are vote splitting each other, Trump will have an easier time winning the winner take all states and they might deny each other the 20% threshold.
From FiveThirtyEight: Right now, the updated exit polls have Kasich ahead in Vermont and Rubio dead-even with Trump in Virginia. Given that pre-election polls favored Cruz in Texas, it seems quite possible that four candidates will win on the Republican side tonight. If that happens, I don’t think we’ll be seeing a winnowing of the Republican field any time soon. Rubio needs a huge victory in Fairfax County if he wants Virginia
