By Brett Wilson

If Bernie wins the first two, he might win here I wouldn’t be surprised if Bernie Sanders was able to knock her off here.”(thewashingtontimes)

Rain, Snow, and Thunderstorms to Southern California

By Humberto Reyes-Reid

On March 7, 2016 Southern California was given a powerful storm. The storm brought rain, snow, and thunderstorms which even caused some flash floods in certain parts of the areas.
The storm brewed up winds which could reach speeds at up to “70 mph and could produce hail”( Kurzweil).
“Snow was falling from heights of about 6,000 feet, with light snow falling as low as 4,000 feet”( Kurzweil). Sources say that residents were complaining that the snow had caused "white out" like conditions on roadways which prevented them from going anywhere.
Although this storm was incredibly dangerous, it did bring needed rain to California and was not as extreme in further areas of the region.

Mitt Romney Comes Out Against Trump

By Brett Wilson

Before the Republican debate on March 3rd former presidential candidate, Mitt Romney delivered a 15 minute speech on why Donald Trump would not be an effective president."Here's what I know: Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud," Romney said. "His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University. He's playing members of the American public for suckers: He gets a free ride to the White House, and all we get is a lousy hat."(CNN politics).

Trump fired back though,"That was a race, I have to say, folks, that should have been won ... I don't know what happened to him. He disappeared. He disappeared. And I wasn't happy about it, I'll be honest, because I am not a fan of Barack Obama, because I backed Mitt Romney -- I backed Mitt Romney. You can see how loyal he is."(CNN politics).
