Trump Alone at the Top


Recommended Posts

 

You can't be a conservative arguing (correctly) that the current administration mistreats our vets, then have the GOP frontrunner hold a vet charity where virtually no money can be accounted and, when asked, the reply is essentially "Not my problem."

 

Why, it's almost like laundering money through a "foundation" or something.

 

It should not be acceptable to anyone of any political stripe, but particularly to someone who wants to be president.

No money? $3 million has already been CONFIRMED to have been transferred. Are you even reading your own articles?

 

Your entire argument is based on a quote from a guy who isn't even in charge of the money. He's a PR guy. The charities aren't concerned either, they just weren't sure about the schedule.

 

The only outrage is from a liberal watchdog group... have they confronted the Clinton Foundation?

 

You're pushing an agenda based on nothing.

Trump completely mopped up tonight. 60%+ in many states. Yikes.

 

The "deal" for Indiana, Oregon etc between Kasich and Cruz could not have been handled worse and with worse timing. Totally plays into Trump's us-vs-system narrative and they can't even pull it off well. This morning Lauer asks Kaisch point blank, "Who should Republican voters vote for next week in Indiana?" Kasich can't even give an answer.

 

The horror show that is the Republican primary continues, and now looks even worse. If Trump wins Indiana, he will probably get to the magic number or be so close that to not get the nomination will be a debacle.

Nothing that Happened Today Changed Anything

It looks like Trump has swept the Northeast, as he was absolutely expected to do. Almost all of the voting simulations that have happened to date predicted that Trump would get all or nearly all of the delegates today. Save your freakout for another day.

 

It looks like some of the states, Trump will win by bigger margins than expected. Big deal. Cruz has done that plenty this election cycle, and no one treated that like the end of the world in Trump land.

 

This election, going forward, is still about Indiana and California. Cruz has to win in Indiana next Tuesday in order for the race to stay static. If Trump wins, the math becomes much more difficult for the anti-Trump forces. If you are a John Kasich supporter and you live in Indiana, voting for Kasich next Tuesday is the dumbest thing you could possibly do because it will just help ensure that Kasich will never see the contested convention that he needs.

 

Even if Trump wins Indiana, he can still be prevented from reaching 1,237, but only if Kasich quits pretty much immediately, and definitely before California.

 

That was the calculus when we woke up this morning, and it remains so today.

 

Anyone who is telling you differently is doing so out of one of two motivations. If they are media, they are doing so because their pecuniary interest demands it. Trump is good for ratings and the media wants to have him around for another six months.

 

If they are a conservative, it is because conservatives are prone to despair and dismay. It's more or less our default setting sometimes. Conservatives have gotten so used to losing that it feels like it's in our DNA.

 

As for me, I'm holding my despair, or even my dismay, for at least one more week. It is zero surprise to me that the diseased and defunct remnants of the GOP in the Northeast would support a corrupt huckster like Trump, and it holds zero real relevance to what is going to happen going forward.

I'm not sure Kasich quits immediately. Not when he and Cruz can dodge campaign finance laws by campaigning for each other.

He didn't mop up. He got what the entire thinking world knew he would get.

 

But hey...I'm sure the media loves you adding to their hype.

Just because it was predicted, doesn't mean it wasn't an @#%-whooping.

 

But I'm sure you're still trying to convince yourself that it's not happening. May I suggest moving to Canada?

Chances are, the conservatives who are dead set against Trump, will have far less to lose if he wins than his most ardent supporters. But carry on with your fantasy island

The homeless have nothing to lose either. Doesn't make them not homeless.
