Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton sweep Tuesday's primaries. What's next?

-
primary
In a no-holds-barred fight to the nomination, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Hillary Clinton, and Bernie Sanders pulled out all the stops in order to stay ahead of the competition.
Candidates campaigned in all 5 states in yesterday's primary: Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware.

So where did all the chips fall? GOP candidate Donald Trump claimed victory in all 5 states. Clinton claimed victory in Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. Bernie Sanders snagged a win in Rhode Island.

Now that the I-95 primaries are over, what's next for the candidates?
Well, you can expect a 100% chance of mud-slinging, lots of drama, and countless inappropriate speeches from Donald Trump. Ted Cruz is expected to make a "huge" announcement later today. Some speculate that it may have something to do with his choice for Vice President. Others think he is dropping out (here's hoping!).

As far as Bernie Sanders is concerned, he is still full-steam ahead, despite losing 4 of 5 states to Hillary Clinton. Sanders has enough financial support, and voter support to take this campaign all the way to the Democratic National Convention. He and Hillary Clinton still nit pick at various topics, but they both have similar goals in mind: Climate change is important, equal rights for all, raise minimum wage, make college affordable. Both agree on those topics.

As far as John Kasich is concerned, I don't see him getting much further in the Presidential race. He is almost forgotten in the mix.  He doesn't stand out and appears to be a cheap copy of Ted Cruz. It's not a question of if he will drop out in the next month or so, it's when.

As for right now, our frontrunners are Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. There is still a lot of time until the Republican and Democratic National Conventions, so it is anyone's game. In the mean time, we can expect the candidates to continue their campaign for votes throughout the country. They have their upcoming California primaries, which can make or break a candidate's potential to be on the ballot come November. The states that remain have a YUGE Bernie Sanders following, so he could pull out several victories. Like I said, it is anyone's game.

Tiny Home Living: Bodega

-

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

Why TNT did not air the season premiere of "The Last Ship."

Photo credit: screenrant Fans who were awaiting the season premiere of "The Last Ship" last night were met with disappointment. TNT decided to postpone the season 3 premiere due to the tragedy that took place in Orlando, Florida in the early hours of Sunday morning. At least 50 people died, and another 53 were injured when a gunman opened fire at a popular club in Florida. Season 3 of "The Last Ship" was to open with gunshots being fired at a nightclub full of patrons. TNT has not announced a new premiere date for the season premiere of "The Last Ship." My Two Cents I am really glad that TNT had enough respect to postpone the premiere. Even though I am a fan of the show, I think it would be inappropriate to show an episode involving that subject matter. Thank you, TNT! On a personal note, last night my best friend from college told me that a girl that we went to college with was among the victims of the Pulse tragedy: KJ Morris. I didn

Photo Credit: ravishly Actor/Fellow Blogger/My First Crush, Wil Wheaton, went on the attack after Paul Ryan sent out his prayers and condolences to the victims of the Church shooting tragedy. Ryan tweeted for a "call to prayer." Wheaton subsequently posted the following in response: "The murdered victims were in a church. If prayers did anything, they'd still be alive, you worthless sack of s**t." After receiving a TON of backlash, Wheaton tried to explain his tweet in a series of later tweets: "Hey, real and actual people of faith: I hear you. I apologise for insulting you, in my rage at Paul Ryan's refusal to address gun violence." He also stated that Paul Ryan is someone who exploits his faith by hiding behind his words without conducting actual good deeds. Wheaton also expressed his upset that Ryan refused to address gun violence. My Two Cents The thing I love about Wil Wheaton is that he is not afraid of expressing his opinion.
