Well I hope not. Florida is more likely due to 'stand your ground' hysteria.
OMG Politics, I'm over it already.

I wouldn't worry about it. The shadow government shut down MK Ultra and the other mind control programs decades ago. Grassy knolls and hotel kitchens are the safest places to be.

Just be glad the RNC isn't in Tampa or Miami this year.

Why Donald Trump will never be elected, in one tweet:
Favorability among Hispanics, according to Gallup:
Clinton +33
Sanders +19
Rubio +6
Kasich +1
Cruz -4
Trump -65
Nevertheless, the demographics and turnout info suggest that for at least a couple more election cycles you can win the presidency without even making a dent in the Latino vote. Thanks, gerrymandering and electoral college witchcraft.
Winning votes among particular ethnic blocs--especially in urban areas--matters a lot more in the primaries...particularly the Democrat primaries. Cities with large, for example, Mexican-American populations like LA or Chicago don't matter in terms of the national race because Illinois and California are not in play for the GOP anyway.
To become POTUS you have to win Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and the like...which is why every four years white working-class retirees who still can't program their VHS become the most important people on earth.
Also, Florida...which is demographically too crazy to call and is full of Cuban-Americans who don't necessarily follow Hispanic/Latino demographic voting trends as they play out nationwide.

I'd vote for General Jack D. Ripper if he could assure us that the popular vote would completely replace the fucking electoral college. That antiquated machine should have been mothballed decades ago, yet it remains and no one can (will) tell us why.

When we have President Kim Kardashian, don't come crying to me.

we're about to have someone just as bad become president now, and i seriously doubt that the electoral college will do anything about it.

Hyperbole. Thank the cruel phantom lords of the cosmos that we've not seen any candidates tweeting nood selfies. And I believe that only "Little Marco" has made a tape with Ray Jay.
In theory, the electors could, if faced with rubber stamping the Kardashian/Manziel ticket, buck centuries of tradition and vote instead for Grohl/Biden.

In a strictly popular vote, no candidate will ever care about rural folk and B-list cities. All politicking will cater to major cities and everyone else will be forgotten. The Electoral College, warts and all, prevents this.

Look, if the rest of the country wants to give up their electoral advantage and give the popular vote to NYC, Chicago, and LA, be my guest. I'm happy to have my vote mean more than theirs. Just don't say I didn't warn you.

Well very few Major cities have had a say in weeding out the candidates so far. By the time California gets to vote in a primary, half or more of the candidates will already be out. And the E.C. is a relic from yesteryear when small town america didn't have access to the news to make an informed decision. I don't really need for a candidate to come here for me to decide if I might want to vote for them or not.
All said, I think having a break from all the politicking would be a good thing.

well there's 8 more months before there's any chance of that. and then in a year or so.....the 'ramp up' begins again.
