I just posted a link since the article originated with the Washington Post. As inside the Beltway as one can get.

I find the establishment's fear delicious. They even tried to paint Trump as pro KKK in the classic tactic used as far back as I remember (pay a Klan member to endorse a Republican and then gotcha the Republican in a smear). It's not working any more.

The animals on the farm have had enough of the ruling pigs and their attack dogs (read animal farm).

The Revolution will be televised tonight and will have a country music soundtrack.

Correct. The United States is a Republic, not a Democracy.

Today is National Pig Day... Bring on the bacon!

That is correct

The media are walking around NYC with signs that read “The End is Near”.

DT refuses to say how he will fund his general election, which will be $1 billion dollars. He doesn’t have that on hand, so the voters deserve to know where the money will come from.

It started out as a republic, yes. But I would argue that since the USSC gave the Commerce Clause blanket powers, we have been living in a nation-state. Rather in than a compartmented dirigible, we float aloft in a blimp.

50% rule could mean Trump gets a;ll delegates in Alabama and Tennessee. Last Poll late yesterday: TN 48, AL 47. Massachusetts has no 50% rule, though Trump will be above 50% there too.

They have dropped all restraint and are attacking Trump 24/7 from all media.

I really do hope so.

In my wildest dreams, Cruz loses Texas to Trump, and quite simply, today will be all she wrote.

They have thrown everything including the kitchen sink at Trump this past week. If he comes out clearly ahead today, I think it’s time for everyone to concede defeat and rally around the nominee.

We’ll see.

True. The word does not exist in the Declaration, Constitution, National Anthem, or Pledge of Allegience. However, even Republicans refer to our form of government as a “democracy.”

If it costs $1 billion dollars per candidate to get a president then this country is as morbid bound as the old Roman Republic/empire.

He has said he will take RNC funding once he is the nominee. Oh, and I will contribute.

And by how the kids turn out. Laura Ingraham speculates Eric Trump would be a good UN Ambassador. Leave the Trump businesses to Ivanka and Don Jr, they’ll do fine.
