It’s an outcome that few saw coming and that many Republicans still refuse to accept: Donald Trump is about to become the GOP nominee for president.

MANY at FR saw this coming.

What is wrong with these people who did see a Trump victory.

Only to those wearing blinders.

Not surprising at all. EVERYONE knew who Trump is - he’s been building his public brand for decades on a national scale. Cruz? only known in political circles. Kasich? heck, I don’t even know what he looks like (I do print & audio media, done with TV). The rest? out for good reason. Name recognition alone goes a long way in politics, and most people know who Trump is and respect (even if dislike) him. No surprise he won.

Cruz defeated himself, end of story.

He beat over 700 Million Dollars against him and all the support that came with the Bush Family and National Review, Weekly Standard, Red State, Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, Mark Levin and hosts like Meghan Kelly, Greg Gunfeld and Shep Smith.

I know Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdock didn't build a brand for conservatives to have these prima dona's tank their Company.

I bet huge changes at Fox are coming disguise as summer vacations.

When your Stabe has a panel of Steve Hays, Charles Krathammer, Jonah Goldberg, George Will bash the meal ticket , Donald Trump night after night things are changing. I would think Rich Lowry and open border Anti Israeli Bill Kristal time will be cut on air.

I saw it coming, and predicted here at least as early as AUGUST and possibly July that Trump a) would be the nominee, and b) would be the president.

“There are not enough white men in the country to offset winning 30 percent of women and 10 percent of nonwhites.”

This says a lot about the goals of the left.

Saw it coming from Day One! 👍😎👍 #CrusHillary

For most media elites Trump was a long shot -

He wasn't my first choice, but he's making all the right enemies. He'll get my vote.
