Hmmm

Did Hillary really win the popular vote in the Texas primary? I wonder. Right wing radio talkers, like Rush Limbaugh, were encouraging Texas Republicans to cross over and vote for Hillary, because they think she's beatable and Barack is not.

Now, one would wonder if people would actually outsource their brains to the likes of Rush Limbaugh, but I'm starting to think that may be the case. I personally have spoken with 3 Republicans who crossed over and voted for Hillary for that very reason. And there are reports that many right wing talk stations across the state are receiving calls from people who did just that.

It's possible that Hillary's victory in the popular vote is a phantom one. Only about 100,000 votes separate her and Barack. The Republicans turned out half the number of voters, in a supposedly Republican state. Barack is kicking Hillary's ass in the caucuses, where people of true conviction vote. And we have the anectdotal evidence of the talk radio callers.

The funny part of all of this is that the talk show callers are complaining that they were disenfranchised by voting for Hillary. They had no idea that by signing up for a Democratic voting booth, that they would not have the opportunity to vote for other Republican candidates. What a bunch of idiots.

I guess Churchill said it best when he said the best argument against democracy is to spend 5 minutes in conversation with an average voter.
