The writing on the wall.
Well, except for the conservative part...
and the not being a spend spend spend liberal...as long as its not his money...
According the the recent New Yorker article, this is why Roger Stone left the campaign in the beginning. He wanted Donald trump to start spending up front to establish ground operations in the States.
“A conservative looks at it and says spend the least amount of money to get the outcome you are looking for.
Cheap, is spending the least amount of money regardless of outcome
“
You are aware that those are the same thing?
Actually Trump does hire great people, he is leading right now and is still the Front Runner
Cruz is done after New York, he will be mathematically out of the race for the first ballot, unless his whole plan is to steal the election....
Veteran political strategist and informal adviser....................
Exactly!
The last time I happened to be in the big city he lives in, I happened by his house, which happens to be on a main thoroughfare.
The Trump signs were gone.
If I happen to run into him I'll ax him whats up with that.
Yes, he’s a few weeks overdue on that shift. He needs to take a deep breath and take stock of his situation and what needs to be done in order to secure the nomination and the Presidency. It makes sense that New York state could be the start of “Trump 2.0”.
Trump 742
Cruz 505
according to the New York Times.
but then who’s counting?
with all due respect, you’re kidding right?
I called this many months ago. Donald is not going to blow a fortune to win this thing. He’s loaned the campaign close to 30 million or less.
He needs to invest 10’s of millions more to win on the ground and half a billion AT LEAST to win the general, which he will NEVER EVER spend.
As a fellow NYCer, I know Trump and he just wont.
But that’s not even a problem. He should accept money for his campaign. A lot.
That doesn’t mean he’ll be able to be bought because he’ll still be rich.
It is his to lose.
Donald Trump 752 delegates
Ted Cruz 469 delegates
Trump ahead by 283 delegates
Where are you getting that data?
RCP has: Trump - 743; Cruz - 517
Let me just disagree based on the idea of having a majority of the delegates.
To win the presidency, the candidate MUST have a majority of the electors in the electoral college. The convention mirrors that by requiring a majority of the delegates. If they don’t have a majority in the electoral college it goes to the house of representatives to decide. That, too, is mirrored in the convention.
So, why did they want the winning presidential candidate to have the majority of electors in the electoral college?
Because that demonstrated broad support across the population.
I have no problem with it.
If Cruz can pull off a convention win, then that’s on Trump. He knows the rules, too, and he needs to be preparing.
I doubt that will happen- it is a personality trait and lifelong habit.
That chart doesn’t account for the possibility that Kasich could drop out and commit his delegates to Cruz. That would put 1237 within Cruz’s reach, at least theoretically.
Trump wants to build the wall and deport the illegals
that will cost money, but the benefits would out do the costs. The job market will tighten, social services won’t be as taxed and schools would have billions in burden lifted from them.
How is that plan not conservative?
Where are you getting those numbers? RCP has Trump 743 and Cruz 517, with Cruz set to pick up another 20-30 from CO and WY.
