The enemy of my enemy is my friend?

Sounding like a bad night for Rubio. He’s even losing to Jeb!

And Sanders looks to be running away with it, so that’s all good.

I am guessing that $1B of spare change Mike Bloomberg found down the back of his sofa is looking even more tempting for a third party run tonight.

Spewing Bernie didn’t get 70%.

But 18 points should be enough to gather some more momentum, I hope…

I shall be watching this later tonight, I think.

Scalia just died.

Wonder who Obama will appoint?

Reinforces the importance of getting the right President, and the Senate back in saner hands.

Seeing mentions of this guy:

He’s dead. Good.

It will be an interesting appointment for sure.

The Donald is being amusing tonight. Trying to start fights with everyone.

Oddly, there seems to be some positive opinion of Dubya. I thought he was persona non grata even amongst Reps?

Clinton getting blamed for Bin Laden, Al Gore would have made 9/11 worse, apparently?

Wow. The Republican candidates really hate each other.

I agree with all of them on their opinions of each other.

That says something about how bad the current candidates are, if anyone is looking back to the Shrub and thinking “Hey, not so bad after all. Could have been worse.”

Bill Clinton has risked inflaming the Democratic primary’s current debate over race, telling a rally in support of his wife in Tennessee that everyone has some African ancestry.

“Unless your ancestors, every one of you, are 100%, 100% from sub-Saharan Africa, we are all mixed-race people,” the former president told a crowd in Memphis on Friday.

How well will this be received? It seems a bit ‘all lives matter’-y to me.

I’m enjoying @dick_nixon’s take on the Republican primaries, on Twitter and Mashable.

No, he told them that virtually all black people in the U.S. are at least partly non-African (i.e., also white), which is actually worse.
