Yes, Mrs. Bill does not need AR to win, but she may yet get it.

Buckeyes though would prefer Kasich to Mrs. Bill, or would they? They might just decide to keep Kasich in Columbus and send Mrs. Bill from Chappaqua to D.C.

Until a few weeks before, Trump had a pretty good lead. Then Romney came to town.

I'm really not thinking well of my birthplace if Mitt Romney actually turned that election for him.

electing Kasich is exactly the same as electing hilliary

Yup. It would just throw a GOP fig leaf over all the big-government socialism they would do.

Moreover, Clinton is actually closer to the neo-conservative position than many Republicans.

He says that as if it's a good thing.

Did this guy fall asleep in 2005?

I'm really not thinking well of a majority of Republicans in my adopted state unless there's some rational explanation why Kasich won in the primary.

If the election were held today, who would be your first choice for President of the United States?


Who would be your first choice for Donald Trump's running mate?

Well, T**** is not going to win in November, either. Now that he has exposed himself to be the liberal that he is, he has no chance. I'm quite confident he lost a good percentage of the social conservative folks today by displaying his New York values for all to see.

His penchant for raising taxes on the rich is not new, but it serves as a good reminder there is no intellectual honesty among his supporters.

T**** will not win in November. Too many voters think he is wretched. I agree. For the first time in my life, I will either be not voting, writing in or voting for an alternative. I live in Virginia. T**** needs me and I'm not biting.

When it's all over, and Trump and Hillary are the candidates, the voters will be faced with two choices. I'm afraid that the choices will be somewhat similar.

As we get further and further into the process, we see our presumptive nominee revealing more and more of his liberal views on issues, and the further we get from choosing a nominee who is conservative.

This seems to be the same process that happened with Obama when he first ran. Things were ignored by the media, issues were glossed over, his communist and muslim leanings disappeared from sight. There was a ground swell to elected the first Black President, no matter what. Calls of racism were used against any who questioned the anointed one.

Now we are face with another ground swell to elect anyone that can draw enough attention to himself, and gloss over issues, and specifics. Anything and anyone to win, seems to be the call. Name calling seems to be the game, just like any bully in the school yard.

Conservatives, who just a year ago were great, are now perceived as evil. Religious views are held up to contempt, and social issues are shoved to the side, so the the presumptive nominee can sweep into the nomination with a plurality of support.

Intimidation, name calling, demagoguery, all seem to be fair game. I'll vote for the Republican nominee, but I fear that if this kind of process continues during the General Election, we will lose.

I also feel that neither Hillary or Bernie will be the Democrat nominee. Biden, Warren, or even Gore, will appear as the Democrat white knight, once Hillary is indicted, and the Dems are faced with fielding a communist nominee.

The uni-party operation has worked, a dimocrap running on both tickets in the general.

BINGO!

"The GOP Establishment knows that Hillary will play ball on the open-borders cheap-labor issues and Trump won’t. Ergo, they prefer to have her win."

And TPP and all the Regime Change you can stand.

Hell, she might even bring Ukraine into NATO...the NeoCons would erect a statue of her then.

The question for Republicans comes down to this: Do Republican primary voters want the GOP to win or lose in November 2016...according to the polls I've seen, only about 10% of the Republican voters are choosing their candidate based on whether they think he can win in November - of course the rest may decide their priorities should have been different should they wake up the morning after the election with Hillary on the way to the White House and let's say Eric Holder on the way to the Supreme Court.....

“I also feel that neither Hillary or Bernie will be the Democrat nominee.” THis is just wishful thinking. Clinton isn’t going to be indicted. Just like she won’t be held accountable for Banghazi. I’ts better to deal in reality than it is to hold out for unrealistic pipe dreams.
