Keith’s podcast went out of date in under an hour. As of this journal (10:55 pm, MST), Haley is actually ahead of Trump, with 96% of the vote in.

And Trump has taken Umbrage, and Monty Python has held the credits!

  • but Biden’s worst margin was about 60 points, and once again Super Tuesday is just a brand name.
  • But the HEADLINE is: The Supreme Court actually HAS left the door open to disqualify Trump from becoming President again. Seriously.
  • Turns out that many Constitutional Scholars and even some sitting members of the House, think that in its haste to make sure their pimp Trump got on to the ballot yesterday in Colorado, the Court ALSO left the door open to Democrats and disaffected Republicans challenging the validity of a Trump election if God forbid it plays out like that. There is now a debate over the consequences of the court ruling that the Constitution gives ENFORCEMENT of the 14th Amendment “to Congress.”
  • Practically speaking: Trump wins the Electoral College, the Democrats hold the Senate (slightly unlikely) and take the House (very likely), and they are suddenly going to pass new legislation saying Trump is ineligible because he engaged in insurrection in 2021? Well they don’t HAVE to pass new legislation. They already did that, according to this reading, in 2022. It was “The Electoral Count Reform And Presidential Transition Act” designed to clarify the 1887 legislation through whose loopholes Trump tried to run his coup.
  • The 2022 clarification closed nearly all of those loopholes, limiting what kinds of challenges lawmakers could make to electoral slates already certified by the states. But they left two grounds for objections challenges and one of them reads “the vote of one or more electors has not been regularly given.” THAT phrase was in the 19th Century legislation and it means, any suspicion that an elector was BRIBED to vote, or was like kidnapped and the guy casting the vote wasn’t the REAL elector, or voted on the wrong day, or … the elector voted for somebody who wasn’t eligible.
  • Oops. Voted … for somebody who wasn’t elllllligggggggible, you say? It’s not just a can of worms. It’s a FAMILY SIZED can of worms. Thank you Sam Alito!

I’m talking to you, Democrats. Get your objections ready to go on January 6. Make sure you have a Representative AND a Senator, and submit it in writing beforehand. Even if Trump loses the election.

Kilmeade: You have to come up with $400 million, how close are you to securing the bond?

Trump: I have a lot of money. I can do what I want to do.

Kilmeade: So you’re not worried about the money?

Trump: I don’t worry about money. @Acyn

(Well, maybe. All I know is that he lied at least once.)

  • MEANWHILE: It’s mortifying but it may be a quick fix. A Democratic pollster has analyzed the field of potential Biden voters in three swing states and figured out that only 31% of them had even heard Trump’s top ten worst statements about vermin and deportation and dictatorship, because voters are not immersed in politics and people do move on with their lives. The good news is that the moment they HEAR all of them, Trump’s unfavorable score jumps by five points and individual deficits grow from five to nine points. Solution? More ads reminding people Trump is an anti-dictatorial son of a bitch. Like, you know, one in every commercial break on every television channel and streamer every day until the election.
  • Oh — and emphasizing it in tomorrow’s State of the Union wouldn’t hurt. Did I mention I’ll be on, live, after it, for our Countdown post-game show, on YouTube and Twitch?

Facebook and Instagram – two of the most powerful communication tools for grassroots politics in America – suddenly stop working on #SuperTuesday, while all of Haley’s ads in print, radio, and television remain intact.

How convenient.

MAGA will still WIN—by a lot!

— Roger Stone (@RogerJStoneJr) March 5, 2024

Actually, this is based in fact. Meta (the new Facebook) had some problems Tuesday morning, but they were resolved.

And, as expected, the right-wing snowflakes had a meltdown over this. (****, I was hoping to mix some metaphors there.)

  • THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: We had a president of MSNBC, he had been the president of CNN, and among other things he didn’t have cable in his home and apparently hadn’t watched any night-time show on MSNBC for at least a year. He also lied about his height, and he was — legitimately — 6’4”. Who the hell DOES that?

I don’t know, but I think his name is something like Tronald Dump …
