Bernie Sanders supporters have a choice: Libertarian Johnson advocates civil liberties, peace, ending cronyism

ALEXANDRIA — Bernie Sanders supporters who reject the offensive, dangerous rhetoric of Republican Donald Trump and the militarism and corporate ties of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, have another choice.

Two-term New Mexico governor Gary Johnson is the Libertarian nominee for president, who, along with Trump and Clinton, is expected to be on the ballot this November in all 50 states. Continue reading→

Orange County is not the Republican bastion it used to be. Consider that in this week’s 2016 Primary Election the Democratic Presidential nominees, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, together netted over 130K votes while the GOP nominee, Donald Trump, only totaled 151K votes.

But the news gets worse for the OC GOP. Look at how poorly the Orange County Republican candidates for legislative offices did on June 7: Continue reading→

TRUMP FAVORED BY 390 DELEGATES & CLINTON BY 750 ON SUPER TUESDAY

FEB. 27, 2016 – The odds-makers at www.SportsBettingDime.com have set an over/under of 9.5 (out of 11) on the number of states Donald Trump wins on Super Tuesday and 10.5 states/territories (out of 12) for Hillary Clinton. And in the all-important delegate count, Clinton is favored by 750 delegates (1,004 up for grabs), while Trump is favored by 390 delegates (595 at stake).

The predicted Super Tuesday blowouts also have the odds-makers at SportsBettingDime looking ahead to potential Vice Presidential candidates. For Clinton, some of the favorites include Julian Castro: 8/1; Brian Schweitzer: 12/1; Cory Booker: 15/1; Mark Warner: 15/1; Joaquin Castro: 20/1 – you can even get 6:1 odds on either Castro. But a surprise, off the radar pick (5:1) is the most likely choice for Hilary. An historic Clinton-Clinton ticket (75:1) is a real longshot. Continue reading→
