I'm a loser. I can barely beat Bernie. No, wait.

The axiom says "Democrats fall in love, and Republicans fall in line." But that axiom appears to have been dispensed with on Super Tuesday, when several states voted for the candidate they and their party leaders best felt could do the one task they’re desperate for come November: beat Trump.
