Yeah, Trump has all the right enemies so I’m positive that I have chosen wisely.

Betting markets have Trump at 47% to win the nomination, Rubio at 44%, and Cruz and Kasich divvying up the scraps with 6% each.

Trump got 44 of 50 delegates.

un. believe. able.

He ran the smart way and outsmarted all the other political experts. No one thought he would get these many delegates. If he keeps this up the next couple of weeks.... The GOPe is going to have to resort to non-ballot measures now.

There are many primaries coming up next with hybrid winner take all primaries that can be won with 30 percent.

Trump better increase his security.

A staggeringly large expanse of boilerplate to deliver a shrug of the shoulders. But his thesis is flawed if he believes the non-Trump field is remaining static, given that Bush has quit and Rubio can only be propped up for so long.

I think he has an excellent chance of winning the nomination. I just am very unsure he has any real chance of winning the actual general election.

Many Republicans won’t vote for him. Even with some Democrat cross overs I worry it won’t be enough.

I’ve been thinking for at least a week now that Paul is going to be his choice for VP.

If the party foists any one else on us but the nominee its voters have selected, I will stay home in November.

And I will relish watching it crash and burn to the ground.

And maybe aliens will invade and we will all be eatten for food and their will be no election

Anything is possible, however, the data both historic and current, does not support the assumptions made by this author.

Denying the winner on technicalities only guarantees no one will come to your championship game.
