Trump would be labelled a traitor by his supporters if he abandons his extremist views that attracted them in the first place. Clinton supporters know she is a moderate with a realistic progressive agenda that has similar goals as Sanders but not his extreme remedies that would never get past Congress.

Thankfully Hillary hasn't adopted Bernie's favorable feelings towards Castro and Ortega, which he wouldn't refute last night.

There's a difference between supporting something in theory and actually voting for it. The auto bailout was part of the overall bailout to keep the banks from collapsing. So Bernie voted against the actual bill that provided loans to the auto industry. That's a fact. Bernie threw the baby out with the bathwater. Which party supported the auto industry will be more of a factor in the general election.

If you look at just delegates won (not superdelegates), Clinton currently leads Sanders by 205 delegates. If the Democrats had changed all the states to winner-take-all, Clinton would lead Sanders by 459 delegates. And it could be even more if all the states had primaries, not caucuses, and only allowed Democrats to vote in the Democrat primaries. So in this election the rules have helped Sanders.

He has started to act like those he used to think were bad by killing people just because they might be a threat, even though they haven't directly attacked. Would he now fail his own questions of "How many people have you killed, and why?".

...after a very close race in Michigan and a huuge! loss in Mississippi last night fell behind by a net 30 more delegates to Hillary, Hillary, Hillary.

The problem isn't the two party system, it's the gerrymandering of congressional districts which has led to less moderate representatives than those in the past who had to appeal to the moderate middle, which has resulted in an unwillingness to compromise to get results that benefit the majority. 3rd and 4th parties would only further draw us away from the moderate middle we need to get back to.

Clinton talked about it in last night's debate, as she has previously. It just doesn't get the press coverage like the size of Trump's hands.

It's on MSG.

Future considerations means they gave him away for nothing, but maybe the Amerks will return the favor if the Crunch ever need help and the Amerks want to move a player. He has been a healthy scratch the past two games, becoming expendable with the switch of Daniel Walcott from forward back to defense. The Crunch also has defenseman Charlie Dodero in reserve in the ECHL. "No one likes to get scratched. It's just one of those things, part of the business,'' Mormina said. "As far as seeing the writing on the wall (for the trade), I'm not really a mind reader, so I try not to look too deeply into things.'' The move to Rochester keeps Mormina close to his wife and young children in Syracuse. "Joey has been a great teammate and an important member of the Crunch the past three seasons. At this time, he was at a crossroads career-wise and Rochester presented him with a better playing opportunity going forward without having to relocate his family,'' said Tampa Bay assistant general manager Julien BriseBois. "I felt the right thing to do was to allow Joey to take advantage of that opportunity. I wish to personally thank him for his services to the Crunch since the fall of 2013 and best of luck moving forward.'' http://www.syracuse.com/crunch/index.ssf/2016/03/syracuse_crunch_sends_veteran_defenseman_to_rochester_amerks.html#incart_river_mobile_index

To say Sanders is in a conspiracy to make Hillary look good is really out there. And how do you know what their "private personas" are? How did you get access, or is that based on in-depth reporting from Hannity and O'Reilly?

The difference being that Clinton and Sanders are not making personal attacks and saying each other are unqualified to be President. They are debating the issues and saying that they are more qualified to be President than the other, and that they also have great respect for each other. In other words, they're acting presidential.

I agree, the teams haven't given the press much to be positive about, especially the Bills. They shouldn't be cheerleaders. I am tired of Harrington still being snarky about the Sabres tanking last year. He thinks they should have made quick changes to make the team competitive instead of tanking to get Eichel, and he won't let it go. But that's what teams like the Bills do to perpetually be mediocre. The fans bought into the tank, so give it a rest.

I love the hypocrisy of Republicans at the debate. They savage each other with personal attacks and say the others are not qualified to be president, but then at the end they all say they'll support whoever is the Republican candidate. It undermines their arguments.

At work, someone makes a cake for each of us in our department for our birthday. My choice is always a cherry cake with white buttercream frosting. Cut strawberries between layers is a bonus. Unlike most of the department, I don't like any cakes with chocolate, peanut butter, or cookie crumbles. But I never get cake for home, my preference is pies. Not too sweet, cherry or apple, with a moist crust. The flan will have to leave, and then get in line behind the good cakes and pies, and become a Freedom Flan. And we'll make the French pay for it.

Jack Eichel on NA uniform: "Pretty cool. I like the color black. I think black uniforms look good."

Romney took Trump out to the woodshed today. Even talked about Trump bragging about his marital affairs. The Republicans this week have created a treasure trove of video clips for the Democrats to run against Trump in the general election. The Republican debate tonight should be a doozy.

They're 21, so you may have never been hip.

Was woken up this morning by two woodpeckers banging on the wood trim outside the bedroom. I didn't think it was warm enough yet for them to return. Friggin climate change.

My son and his friends think it's sick, as in good. So you have to consider the probable target buyers.

No Alcohol? There goes Labatt's sponsorship.

You sadden and frighten me.

I both saddens and frightens me that people would vote for someone based on , "What the hell, let's give it a try". Especially someone who could send people to war because he loses his temper if Putin makes fun of the size of his hands or his spray tan.

Remember that McDavid had to get by Risto to get that close to Lehner to push the puck in. It may have surprised Lehner that he was allowed to get that close, and he may have been expecting a shot from farther out. I questioned why Risto was out there so soon after spending the whole 2 minutes killing the penalty. He had to have been winded. Normally he wouldn't let someone get by him like that.
