The Weekly Standard ^ | April 27, 2016 | Fred Barnes

Posted on 04/27/2016 6:12:54 AM PDT by Biggirl

An hour before polls closed in five states last night, Our Principles PAC declared that Donald Trump would sweep all five primaries. No worry, the anti-Trump outfit said. "The path to the nomination does not hinge" on any of these outcomes.

So Trump needs 1237 “confirmed” delegates, where does he stand today?

The NYT has an interesting piece of software to answer your question:

Our Principles:

- The citizens must not be allowed to elect a President who enforces the laws and borbers

- Fraudulently documented foreigners and their employers must never be expected to comply with the laws

More importantly, what’s happening with Cruz money support?

"The path to the nomination does not hinge" on any of these outcomes."

That's all Mark Levin could blubber over and over again on his radio program yesterday.

Hilarious this morning to hear the dead-enders in places like Salem Media try and hold out hope for the #NeverTrumps.

“If another Superstorm hits New Jersey on their primary day, and aliens abduct John Kasich, and Cruz can flip another 100 delegates....”

Talk radio is just pathetic nowadays. There is not even a pretense of logic and intellectual honesty. I listen a few minutes every day just for the chuckle at how lame Rush and Co have become.

I turned on Beck today just to see what he would come up with. He thinks Cruz’s big announcement will be Fiorina for VP which will steal all the oxygen from Trump’s win and change the narrative, and win California for Cruz (because she’s been such an electoral powerhouse there?)

They’re also begging Pence to endorse Cruz and can’t imagine what he’s waiting for.

It’s like listening to voices from an alternate reality.

Levin, Beck, Cruz, Fiorina and Kasich got together this morning to discuss strategy

Talk radio does NOT support the DemocRAT SOCIALIST tRUMP, and they NEVER WILL !
Look at all the DemocRATS sand RINOs tRUMP's financed.
I can't believe the GOP is this willing to COMMIT SUICIDE by supporting George Soros's TROJAN HORSE.

Salem has gone beyond propaganda in their talk shows, and is now pimping their newscasts as well. In last night’s 6PM newscast they interviewed two Pennsylvania voters. One said he was voting for Kasich as “the only sane choice”. The other was a lady whining and lamenting the fact that “there’s nobody worth voting for”.

Fiorina as VP will be an electoral death sentence for anyone stupid enough to pick her.

Bitter ex-HP employees are already lining up from the East Bay to the outskirts of Sunnyvale to swiftboat her in Democrat ads. It will be brutal.

Other than the once in a while binge podcast session of Vicki McKenna, I hardly listen to wimbaugh and the rest.

Rush Limbaugh’s show used to be a treat during the day.

Yeah, Beck was talking about what a great campaigner she is, how she can barnstorm around the state, etc. Earth to Glen, good campaigners are the ones who’ve actually won something.

I read that Pence (wisely) is not going to endorse Cruz because it might hurt his re-election chances. Given that the SS Cruz is taking on water like the Titanic I would not hold my breath for a Pence endorsement.

It’s nice to know Soros is supporting Cruz.
