The Super Tuesday presidential primaries went just about as expected.
President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump won almost all their respective contests. It is clear they will be the nominees for the November election.
Even former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, Trump's most dogged rival, saw the writing on the wall and threw in the towel.
While Super Tuesday was, for better or worse, predictable, we should all be grateful it was also uneventful.
Thanks in a large part to Monday's ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court that Trump must stay on the primary ballot in Colorado and other states where liberals tried to have him removed on the grounds he was an "insurrectionist" and barred by the Constitution's 14th Amendment from holding office.
The nation's highest court was unanimous in ruling that only Congress, not states, can take such action.
It was the right call.
Those on the left are fearful that Trump may win in November. And they should be. In our view he has a very good chance of beating the incumbent Biden.
But that's something the voters must decide, and their choice should not be derailed by the desperate tricks of Trumps most persistent critics.
