A double digit victory in Allen county for clinton and trump would likely indicate wins as it was one of the biggest swing counties
TSIAS
(14,689 posts)Trump by double digits, maybe as high as 20%.
Clinton by high single digits.

So sad about Chris. He is a true gentleman.
TSIAS
(14,689 posts)I didn't know that Erik Spoelstra was on the court as a guard for Portland the day Hank Gathers died. I think that must make him more cautious about allowing Bosh back.
Bosh is one of the league's best guys. I know Bosh wants to play, but it seems the organization is adament in its medical position.

(99,710 posts)He has done everything and is on his way to Springfield.

(12,689 posts)All these rural counties going big for Clinton means that this probably will be somewhat of a blowout. Like Ohio was.

LuvLoogie
(7,011 posts)Plus the Republican voter subterfuge, which benefits Bernie in the open primaries, is probably not as present at this stage of the process. Right wing voters are likely staying in-house with the GOP primary.
SFnomad
(3,473 posts)And being that the state is in two time zones, we still have polls open for a little bit.

Human beings beating the living shit out of each other, to the point of near unconsciousness, for the amusement of other human beings, many of whom actually go "tsk tsk" at the expected result--that's disgusting.
Right out of the middle ages.
P.S.
Onion soup for dinner tonight.

(6,604 posts)It's what people do on a discussion board, sometimes in reaction to embarrassing OPs lamenting a lack of onions, and getting things completely wrong.
Perhaps you would prefer a board in which everyone agreed with you, all the time. You can find links to places like that, if that's your thing.
Or, you could just try saying, "Please don't respond to this," and see how that works. It's worth a try.

I guess I have my answer and the answer is forever.
76. Oh, you've got a fan! Hasn't that one had hidden messages before from chasing you around??
It's a shame that some people think that getting the last word is so much more important than looking well.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1187&pid=44696
It is kind of you to allow me to live in your mind rent free, I think.
bvf
(6,604 posts)except when you don't.
Well, that clears it up.
Really, if you don't want replies, just find those onions and say so.
Couldn't hurt to try, right?

It is not up to me to tell other posters what to do. But as long as you follow me around and make denigrating remarks you are subjecting yourself to this:

The only person that can answer if following me around is worth engendering all this criticism of you is you. If you are half as smart as you hold yourself out to be you will come to the right conclusion.

Do you understand the clear difference between an instructon and a request?
Seems not. Suit yourself.
Maybe those onions rolled behind the fridge.
DemocratSinceBirth
(99,710 posts)But as long as you insist on "chasing" me around DU you will continue to engender criticism like this:

bvf
(6,604 posts)That's "responding."
See, it works like this:
You say something, then I say something, and so on.
Sorry you can't understand that.
If someone says something you disagree with, calling it anything else doesn't make it so, as much as you'd obviously like to think so.
DemocratSinceBirth
(99,710 posts)If you want to chase me around this board and instruct me on semantics that is on you. As for me I will leave you with this:

Hardly a lesson in semantics, unless you think anyone who responds to you in disagreement is somehow "chasing" you.

BTW, I had to change my avatar of Ali four times because the poster you replied to was mocking it.
H2O Man
(73,559 posts)Ali is a great American, a true hero.
DemocratSinceBirth
(99,710 posts)I had to change my Ali avatar four times because our friend was using it in his signature to deride him and me.
All you have to do is look at his current signature.
H2O Man
(73,559 posts)I do not think you had to -- or should have -- changed it. But I certainly approve of Malcolm!
DemocratSinceBirth
(99,710 posts)As you know Malcolm embraced Ali before his Liston fight. The NOI was stand offish because they were afraid he would get killed. Malcolm had faith in him.
It is sad the NOI forbid Ali from having contact with Malcolm after they banished him. Ali has said that is something he regrets.
H2O Man
(73,559 posts)When the NOI "suspended" Malcolm, the Champ invited Malcolm and his family to his Miami training camp. When the press started mumbling about this fiery "Black Muslim" minister hanging around, the promoter, MacDonald, threatened to call the fight off.
It was Ali's younger brother (Rudy, then Rahman) who got Cassius interested in the NOI. Once he heard Malcolm teach, he converted. He had joined the NOI well before he pulled off the great upset against Sonny Liston, in one of history's most intense fights.
