Why Trump will be the GOP nominee. A good read on how he's up-ended the conventional wisdom and has taken over the party.

The Republican Establishment brought this on themselves.

Polls on electability this far out are meaningless once shots start being fired between Trump and Clinton.

At some point very soon, the media will figure out that Trump is the best thing that could happen to them. All they really care about is ratings, and a Trump Clinton showdown shootout will have us all glued to the talking heads on the tube, in record numbers.

Watch very soon for the Media to gleefully embrace and proclaim the upcoming death match of the ages...Trump vs Hillary!

I heard that Trump got more votes last night than all the votes cast in either the 2012 or 2008 Republican primaries...the GOP establishment cannot stop that kind of wave, nor should they.

It’s over until Cruz gets some big wins on March 1st... Rubio continues to go 0-for-whatever... and the Party has to choose.

Trump or Cruz.

The dynamic is very different in a two man race...

God bless the GOPe for setting up a primary system that has effectively locked out their candidate.

The more trump talks the more i find it very hard to vote for him.

He is not doing himself any favors by attacking the other candidates the way he is. He might win the primaries with 35% support but in the general he is going to have to kiss and make up with the other 65%. I dont see that happening with the way he is going scorched earth on cruz and rubio.

I will not vote for trump in the general. However, if he is the nominee, I believe he will win the general.

He careful what you wish for. The devil is in the details.

I wonder what FNC reaction to a Trump nomination will be? I mean they will lose major $$ over not being able to hold a Presidential debate.

You have to admit, any Presidential debate that pits Donald Trump against BS or more BS(HRC) - pun intended - will be very entertaining and worth watching.

Cruz is only “scary” to democrats

ANY conservative is always “scary” or “mean” because only those that love the government are good.

Its not really that hard....

Trump has put forth the argument of America first and taken on the NEOCON nonsense that has dominated the Republican Party for too long.

He’s called them out, and they can’t silence him, and can’t beat him either....

Game Over.

The path isn’t completely closed to someone else statistically yet, but the odds that anyone other that Trump will be the nominee and eventually the President at this point are narrowing daily.

Come 3/1 the path is narrow indeed, by 3/15 you’d have to see a comeback the likes of which has never happened in US national politics.

Then come November, you will see Trump literally redefine the EC Map... the days of Carl Rove type of stupid politicking at the national level are done. The, concede most of the map and then try to win a GOTV in a handful of states is over, thank God.

Trump is showing how to win, and as much as it pains some here, you can’t win a national election reliably by the small ball nonsense the Neocons and Rove offer.

Put America First, and you rule the map.... what a concept.
