Saturday’s Republican primary results have been tallied for four states, where frontrunner Trump remained stagnant, averaging 36.5% of votes while Cruz/Rubio attained 54% combined. Also indicating that 63.5% of those voting preferred someone other than Trump.

 

The breakdown showed that in Kansas, Cruz attained 65% of votes, Trump 23% and Rubio 17. In Kentucky, Trump squeaked by at 36%, with Cruz at 32% and Rubio 16%. Louisiana was another close one, Trump winning with 41%. But that was only 3% higher than Cruz at 38%, while Rubio gained a mere 11%. Then, in Maine, Cruz won again at 46%, Trump only 33% and far behind, Rubio trailed with just 8%.

 

Which means that Trump certainly isn’t running away by any means, when compared to the rest of his rivals combined appeal. And, no one knows where the votes will go, if and when, Rubio and/or Kasich drop out. But, one would have to assume that most of those switching would wind up with Cruz at this point. Because most of non-Trump voters have already chosen someone within the party structure, making it logical they’d continue to do so. 

 

So, at present, things ain't lookin' so hot for the motor-mouth.   

 

On another issue: Rush is appearing on Fox News today with Chris Wallace. He frequently tells listeners he’s “doing this show with half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair because I have talent on loan from . . . God.” So, I texted him on Facebook that in this case, he’ll have to tie his whole brain behind him, and he’ll still have an edge in dealing with that self-impressed, pompous sack of hot air, Wallace. 

 

And then, a friend posted this on FB today.

 
  

Bringing us to today’s update on Bill Clinton’s wife.

 

Two important occurrences, direct personal involvement is now exposed and the article appeared in the ordinarily supportive Washington Post.

 

Rosalind S. Helderman and Tom Hamburger report:ed yesterday: “Hillary Clinton wrote 104 emails that she sent using her private server while secretary of state that the government has since said contain classified information, according to a new Washington Post analysis of Clinton’s publicly released correspondence. 

 

“The finding is the first accounting of the Democratic presidential front-runner’s personal role in placing information now considered sensitive into insecure email during her State Department tenure. Clinton’s ­authorship of dozens of emails now considered classified could complicate her efforts to argue that she never put government secrets at risk.

 

“In roughly three-quarters of those cases, officials have determined that material Clinton herself wrote in the body of email messages is classified. Clinton sometimes initiated the conversations but more often replied to aides or other officials with brief reactions to ongoing discussions.” 

 

Thus, while Bill’s wife continually claims the issue is simply a Republican plot to defame her, having no material substance, the facts say something else completely. What's worse for her, is that her actions are far more serious than those of General David Petraeus, who pleaded guilty a federal charge of removing and retaining classified information as part of a plea deal in March, 2015. 

 

Raising up the ongoing question: Joe Biden, Mayor Bloomberg, Jerry Brown, and Starbuck’s chairman and CEO, Howard Schultz, are you guys reading this?      

 

That’s it for today folks.
