Man the pro-Trump Republicans are pissed at Cruz not endorsing Trump. At least they now confirmed that voting on "conscience" is voting "against Trump". Nice.

Yeah, this is pretty much as close to house of cards as you can expect in real life.  Ironically, Veep predicted it pretty well:

It's pretty amazing that House of Cards had that whole subplot with the ghostwriter slagging off the Presidential candidate thing, where now this year a ghostwriter slagged off a Presidential Candidate

On the other hand it's pretty shit that real life is less believable than fiction

Um... how many people has Frank Underwood personally murdered?

Pretty sure this is a lot more believable then house of cards.

Considering that USA co-opted the name of both continents "America" to apply only to their single country, it's not a surprise that you have a restricted common-person usage of North America as well. If only that pesky Canada wasn't there with the temerity to be even further north, you wouldn't even have to include them in that. ;)
I mean, when it was created, I don't think there were many other independent colonies in the Americas, I'm not sure if they were really defined as separate continents yet, and in all odds they were referred to as 'the American colonies', not 'the North American colonies'.

Also, I always basically thought/think of Central America as being Guatemala/Belize to Panama, plus the various Caribbean islands. I mean, Mexico is part of the North American Free Trade Agreement, so I'd say they count as North America.

The Panama Canal is prolly when the Americas became NAmerica and SAmerica

I was a little on the fence, I mean I've always just early voted.  And a lot of people still have to work on national holidays.  But still, seems like a good idea, kinda weird that it isn't.

Now this is a great idea!  Give people some time to come to their final decisions, I like it.
