The United States may soon have its first female president. And it may not be Hillary Clinton.
Over the past few weeks, the best answer to the question of who will emerge as the Republican presidential nominee — businessman Donald Trump, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, some other failed 2016 contender or even House Speaker Paul D. Ryan — has become "none of the above." In each instance, the case for why any one of these candidates probably won't be picked has gotten much stronger than the one for why each of the individual candidates would.
Despite Trump's big victories this week, he's not the "presumptive nominee" he claims to be. He faces much tougher challenges in Indiana and California, where poor showings would likely leave him short of the 1,237 delegates needed to end the upcoming Republican convention chaos with a victory in the first round of voting. Despised and feared by the Republican establishment, Trump almost certainly will do worse with each passing round. A stone's throw is probably as close as he'll ever get to the nomination.
Cruz is on track to succeed as the spoiler of the Trump campaign. But with Trump romping on the East Coast, Cruz will likely finish hundreds of delegates and millions of votes behind. That's too far back. The possibility of allowing a big loser to leapfrog over a clear front-runner has not polled well among the party rank and file. It's a good bet it will flop at the convention, too.
If it could, the Republican establishment would settle for finding its way to Kasich, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, new Cruz running mate Carly Fiorina or another one of the 2016 also-rans. ...

Some GOP establishment flacks refuse to face reality.
Trotting out Nikki Hailey is this year’s denial is a river in Egypt meme.
Trump will win IN and CA. Sorry to disturb your pleasant daydream, Howard Gutman.
Now suck up and take it.

Another “ineligible” wanna be. We need to take our country back pronto.
Gutman is a self hating Jew who has been and apparently is still a tool of the left.
No sane person could possibly care what he thinks about anything.
Sad to see the irrelevant name calling. Nikki may be coerced to follow Cruz, Rubio, and Jindal down the rat hole, but all of the above have at least heard of Wong Kim Ark, the 1898 case in which San Francisco-born Wong Kim, born to parents who were permanently domiciled, where both parents and child lived fully under the jurisdiction of the U.S. was deemed a citizen, a naturalized citizen, based entirely upon the 14th Amendment. Nikki Haley, born on our soil, but to parents who weren’t citizens, is a naturalized citizen. Only natural born citizens are eligible to the presidency. And yes, Nikki’s first breath was taken, as was Ted’s, as a naturalized citizen.
The author of the 14th Amendment’s citizenship section clarified that no one doubted the wisdom of the definition for natural born citizenship. Judge-Congressman John Bingham used equivalent words referring to natural born citizenship: “born within the sovereignty of the U.S. to parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty”. This was before Minor v. Happersett made the Vattel formulation into precedent with unanimous confirmation of the common-law in 1875, “born in a country to parents who were its citizen”. Nikki Haley, while we still pretend to honor, defend, and protect the Constitution, is a naturalized citizen, a status Barack Obama confirmed as his, though from the same law school and Con. Law Professor Larry Tribe, Ted Cruz choses to lie. It is only a lie if we believe Ted when he tells us he is a Constitutional Conservative. I have never heard Nikki claim to be a natural born citizen.
If you reject the Constitution as the legal foundation for our government, you may, like Larry Tribe and Obama, call yourself a believer in a “living Constitution”. The Constitution is what you want it to be. Barack said as much during an interview before he became a U.S. Senator. Ted has told us otherwise, but is acting like Barry and Larry. Larry Tribe was open criticizing Ted’s hypocrisy in the Boston Globe of Jan 11. For me, we knew what to expect from Barack. With Ted, and such a blatant lie declaring his eligibility, we may as well throw out the Constitution.
The night they drove ole Dixie down courtesy of Nikki PC Haley!
No. I’m allergic to hyper-RINOs.
A PC import who pisses on the South. Yeah, she definitely is going to get elected.
“We have no shortage of natural born citizens of the United States whose ancestors were last known to immigrate before the Revolutionary War, yet these political parties see fit to deny them the opportunity to represent and lead the nation their forefathers created and bequeathed to them.
“
Obviously we are of little interest to the RINOs and Democrats both, as they scramble to ethnically cleanse their parties of old stock Americans.
Rocky Horror Picture Show where the audience would shout out lines 40 years ago.
It is a movement and a happy one.>>> and don’t forget he does poetry for his immigration policy!
Never forget.
You and me both. She’s despicable, and I’ll never forgive her for having the flag taken down without one listening one bit to the citizens of South Carolina.
Never fear, I don’t.
Deo vindice, MrsMel
:)
Amen to that, and He is.
How many people missed the warning:
DON’T TAKE THE BROWN ACID!
Nikki Haley is an ASS. She is FINISHED as a serious Republican candidate for ANYTHING. From pandering to black racists who want to destroy southern history and heritage to attacking Trump instead of Obama in her state of tge union response, she has demonstrated she is a total ass.
Nope.
