We all know that the states that really matter - the so-called swing states that gave the election to Chump last time - haven't even been heard yet.

If you pay too much attention to the M$M, the awarding of 2% of the delegates amount to the Super Bowl.

Hell, we're still in training camp here.

We'll know a lot more at the end of March.
