...and how many of those states where Trump has “won” delegates will the Republicans win in the fall? He’s winning his delegates in blue states. Bummer!

“where the people actually get to vote”
Ah yes, there’s that. I happen to live in THE worst state, Colorado for a “primary” process that’s designed to disenfranchise as many voters as possible.
Fortunately, the Trump Effect exposed what a corrupt process that is here, and the national and state hue and outcry has caused the cock-a-roaches in our state legislature to hastily work on legislation to switch us back to an actual primary.
It SHOULD be a bi-partisan bill, but the fool GOP is opposing it in its current form because it allows unaffiliated voters to temporarily declare for one party or the other solely for the purpose of voting in a primary. Unaffiliated is THE largest group of registered voters in Colorado, so heaven forbid the GOP ACTUALLY expands their “big” tent.
Nonetheless, we Colorado voters thank Donald Trump (AND Bernie Sanders too) who’ve exposed how corrupt the current system is, and who’ve energized the voters to raise hell with our state legislatures and party officials.
I think it’s pretty much over.
It’s time for people like me to accept it. I’ve worked for every Republican candidate on election day since Reagan. This will be my toughest challenge as I would never believed I would vote for someone as vulgar as Trump, but if it’s him or Hillary, I have to try to swallow my standards and get to work.
On the other hand, Trump has some advantages. The last Republican convention was a disaster. Chris Christie’s keynote address was the worst I had ever heard and then there was Clint Eastwood. I’m hoping Trump will put on a show that no other Republican is capable of.
Trump also has an amazing ability to brand things successfully. You ever watching tv and you notice yourself humming a song from a commercial a half hour earlier? Trump has that amazing ability. Listen to his supporters and they will repeat his slogans over and over. That’s an amazing talent and I can’t think of any other candidate who’s had that same ability.
Of course he has a long list of weaknesses too, but the time for that is past. It’s time to hope for the best.
Nice detail, but irrelevant. Trump has a huge advantage on committed delegates, which is how this is decided. I don’t care about popular vote now, not any more than I cared with Bush v. Gore. Trump is very likely to be the nominee under the rules, and that is what matters.
In November, what will matter is whether Trump carries any of the liberal or swing states. We do not yet have any idea how he will do against Hillary in those states, and we have no statistical or polling data that even allows a guess. What will matter is the political campaign. How many from FR will be working the phones and other efforts for Trump in those key states once he is nominated?
