this New Math is so confusing If you watched the Nevada results rolling in last night, you no doubt saw one million Republican strategists (looking at you, Nicole Wallace on MSNBC) trying to simultaneously explain how it was totally cool and great that Trump might win but also that Rubio was totally going to win even though he keeps, you know, not winning.
Nate Silver has gotchu (well, technically David Silverman, writing for Five Thirty Eight, has gotchu): according to his math, Rubio could do it but it basically involves winning every one of the winner-take-all states and all the everybody in low-GOP areas like Chicago and San Francisco, etc. However that strategy requires a lot of things to go his way and almost nothing to go against him. So, what I'm trying to say is, Rubio is not yet screwed, but will be shortly.
For Rubio to disdain the intelligence of GOP primary voters, GOP primary voters would first have to have intelligence. Disdain for the stupidity of GOP primary votes, however, has become a Rubio hallmark.
Reminds me of the sportsball in fall when the Washington (DC) pundits heres about yammer on about how the DC team that will not be named is not mathematically eliminated yet, so they still have a chance if they just fire their coach/quarterback/waterboy
The GOP's support of Rubio reminds me of one of those inspiring movies where the whole team (including the HOT cheerleader) gets behind the mentally challenged water boy and melts the cold heart of the principal to let him play in The Big Game..
Only this time around when the crowd stands and claps as Our Hero is just about to make the winning touchdown - he instead fumbles the ball and has a massive, loud poop in his uniform pants.
Can't find the link, but I remember an SFGate (Chronicle) article about canvassing for GOP votes in San Francisco. Apparently it involves long lonely walks across difficult terrain to find the few registered GOP voters there.
If Rubio's signing up for that, then probably he shouldn't be as insistent upon his bed time as he was the night of the Nevada caucus.
Fun fact: florida actually does not teach math. Jeb Bush cut it from the education budget years ago. Along with history, reading, and recess. We pretty much focus on teaching kids to toss alligators through drive thru windows these days.
Cruz and Trump are having a lover's spat. Now is Rubio's opportunity to swoop in.
I want to like him, but I can't.

You are a demon human for putting that image in my brain, but thank you for the help with my diet.
With all those rules and regulations, yeah. Conservatives prefer libertarian math, where the numbers are free to do whatever they want.
Yes, they do not teach math in Florida.
I think they refer to this as being skewed? Perhaps Unskewed? Perhaps AOT,K?

This is exactly what happens when you let a kid skip a grade and he's not ready.
