Rubio and Cruz I'm worried about. We are probably going to see them in future presidential races. They're so young and have their lives ahead of them. It doesn't matter if Rubio leaves the Senate. Mitt Romney hadn't been a governor is years when he ran for office. Hell, considering how anti-establishment everyone has become, I wouldn't be surprised if leaving politics for a few years is a plus for him.

There's a law that you can't be on the same ballot twice, but in this case, he's not on the same ballot. The Presidential primary is in March, and the state primaries are in August.

There were a lot of Ted signs that mysteriously showed up this morning in my area.. all nearby polling areas.
I think he could do it. Must wait and see, please be excited.

Most of Florida closes at 7. Only a few counties are in the Central time zone.

Don't even.
This is ideologically worse. I'll be fine during the general - this is much more irritating. This was supposed to be the easy part, the nomination that was decided back in 2013 when people started calling her inevitable. It's irritating to get out of the frying pan Super Tuesday, only to wake up and suddenly see supporters of the insurgent opponent with hope and confidence. It's getting old now.
I just want this damn primary season to be over so we can all start talking about the race that matters.

What would you be doing if she was actually losing
Like... She's running against a legitimate candidate with a legitimate campaign and legitimate supporters. And there's someone on the other side running a different campaign with a different kind of message and people are being worried about that, trying to stop it in any way possible! This is how elections are, voters don't owe anyone anything. It's OKAY, Noah.
