He will have to explain to his supporters about him being a Shareholder with Goldman Sachs is good, but Ted Cruz’s wife working for them is bad.

A very good article, thanks for posting something that isn’t just anti-Trump trash from Beck or someone. I think this point bears repeating:

“Primary contests are partly ways of signaling to the partisan electorate who they are supposed to vote for.”

As are polls, without regard for how “scientific” they are or what sample size and margin of error exists. Humans are influenced by what they see and hear, which is why advertising is a multi-billion dollar industry. Politics is no different, and Donald Trump is a master at marketing and promotion, and knows that if he is perceived as the nominee, he will be it. Perception becomes reality.

I hope it is strong enough to secure all of the delegates that are required to win the nomination.

Easy.

A shareholder is an investment in the company which he would want to see grow.

Goldman Sachs has an investment in Ted from which they want to prosper.

Donald Trump owns some shares of Goldman Sachs.

Goldman Sachs OWNS Ted Cruz.

You figure it out.

He’s going to run the south. that’s practically guaranteed. He’s quite popular in the north. He’s poised for a very strong performance.

WHY ?

That's not part of either one's campaign.

I find it amazing that we may have our candidate in March while the Democrats may not know for many many months later. Nobody would have predicted that a year ago. The early nomination will help Trump to get his general campaign going. One year from today, Trump will be sworn in.

No, no he won't have to explain it to his SUPPORTERS. He'll definitely explain it though.

The voters are going to overlook every wart, scar, carbuncle, blemish, misstep, mistake, YOU NAME IT, that emanates from Donald J. Trump! They have had it with the nightmare occupying the rainbow hut these past 7 years, and they despise even more the GOPe for their complicity and duplicity.

I have voted for Perot, Buchanan, and Keyes, before voting for a Bush. I attended both of GW Bush's inaugurations- traveling all the way from Kandahar, Afghanistan, for the second one. I attended the impeachment trial of William Jefferson Clinton, witnessing the House trial managers present articles of impeachment to Chief Justice Rehnquist.

I've been a GOP precinct committeeman. I worked tirelessly to get the first GOP US Senator elected in Illinois, in 20 years. I've attended the Promise-keepers Stand In The Gap gathering in 1997, in Wash, DC, that exceeded a million attendees. I am also one of the voters that stayed home on election day in 2012. I was ecstatic when Cruz announced he was running for the presidency. I served my country for 9 years, 11 months and 29 days, and worked as a civilian US Army DOD contractor, spening 40 months in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Yesterday, after hearing Trump call Bowe Bergdahl a dirty rotten traitor and that he should be dropped into ISIS held territory then BOMBED, I decided that I would crawl over broken glass to vote for candidate Trump. I have had it once and for all with the eunuchs in Congress that have had historical majorities and they've given soebarkah EVERYTHING he's asked for. They can go to hell. FU GOPe! I'm certain there are millions of Americans just like me, and the movement or rebellion is only in it's infancy.

Good point. Without the delegates, it’s no go.

Thank you for your post. I didn’t know about Donald Trump’s comments about Bergdahl. But I like that he is not afraid to say it like he sees it. I am also proud that the English parliament wanted to ban him from their country because of his comments about the Muslim menace. Will he be able to pull off everything that he says... probably not. But just the fact that he is willing to even utter the words is better than anyone else currently on the scene.
