The Turn of a Card
There’s going to be no more phony coin tosses for Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. From none other than the NYTimes (even a broken clock gets it 2 times a day), “A Deck of Cards Could Determine Some Nevada Caucus Results.”
When in Las Vegas … what better way to break a tie in a political caucus than a deck of cards?
On Friday, the Nevada Democratic Party released answers to frequently asked questions ahead of the caucuses on Saturday.
The guidelines included the 250 caucus locations statewide…(and) also included what would happen if Hillary Clinton and Senator Bernie Sanders happen to tie on Saturday. Enter the deck of cards.
“In the rare circumstances where two or more presidential preference groups are tied for the loss or gain of a precinct-level delegate and have the same lowest or highest decimal,” the state party says, “groups must draw a single card from a deck of cards to break the tie. High card determines the winner.”
Trump Threatens to Sue Cruz
It all proves that you can sue a ham sandwich. Ted. Do you want yours with mayo or mustard?
From CNN, “Donald Trump ‘very seriously thinking’ about suing Ted Cruz.”
Donald Trump said Tuesday he is “very seriously” thinking about filing a suit to challenge Ted Cruz’s eligibility to be president.
Trump’s threat of litigation, which the billionaire businessman has recently brought up several times in recent days, came during an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Tuesday, when he was pressed by host George Stephanopoulos over whether he would follow through with the suit against Canada-born Cruz’s presidential qualifications, as Trump has suggested he might.
Trump replied, “I’m thinking about it very seriously George, I already have a lawyer, we’re looking at it very seriously, we’re thinking about it.”
“He was born in Canada, lived there for years, and then under that period … you know, you take a look at this,” Trump said, adding later, “When you talk about a natural born citizen, according to many great lawyers, I’ve been looking at very strongly over the last week.”
