http://henrymakow.com/2015/07/JFK-Jr-Death-Was-No-Accident%20.html Politics ain't beanbag. Killing people is an old leftist practice. Wisdom comes from asking people who use CPAP machines for Sleep Apnea if they ever try to even take a nap without connecting their CPAP or BiPAP. Anyone running for office nationally that might have an unexplained death....?

https://pjmedia.com/diaryofamadvoter/2016/04/07/are-we-now-or-have-we-ever-been-a-democracy/ Then, of course, there are rules in Indiana. One of them used to be that in a state wide race for Senate you had to have signatures of 500 people in each congressional district in order to run for that office. Arcane rule, no doubt, but it had the virtue of protecting us from Mike Pence's Common Core math. Or did it? Seems like one candidate who had already run this particular rodeo managed with ease to use all his fingers, toes, appendages and fading cranial hair to get over that impediment. The other guy, failed. Rebranded Common Core Math apparently does not allow computation past 497. However, Republican Math goes by Republican Rules. Briefly stated, $3,000,000 TRUMPS tiny minded rules like 500 because, groundlings, 3,000,000 is obviously a much larger number than 500 and it would be a crying shame to have $3,000,000 unrepresented.
Used to be that counting counted. Back in the day in Bloomington we learned that it need not. Democrats stole a seat in Congress and there was nothing any honest person could do about it. So, counting was discredited and Elephants do have long memories. Of course, what they remembered was that the people didn't care about arcane rules and before too long, not about any rules at all. Anyone think the R establishment sorts in Indiana are hot to trot about either Trump or Cruz?

As an alternate delegate to the 1980 Democratic Convention I vividly recall Ted Kennedy's ploy to open the Convention for nominations from the floor. This was a serious movement which I witnessed first hand in the Waldorf where I was staying. Had the Carter delegates been freed then there was little doubt that Kennedy would not have won on the first ballot.

You can bet money that Big Money will be very active-see accounts of their Republican 1952 exploits. Thing is, their cheating was a lot easier to cover up in 1952. It will not be easy in 2016 but given the decline in moral or ethical behavior it may not matter. In 1952, for instance, the Saudi Arabia sorts did not provide pensions for American State Department officials or contribute money to "foundations". As you have seen in Indiana, Republicans are quite flexible.
