70 Delegates at Stake for WV, NE Primaries on Tuesday

Posted on 05/08/2016 12:16:54 PM PDT by SamAdams76

Not a lot of polling has been done since Donald Trump became the presumptive nominee the evening of May 3, after his blockbuster win in Indiana that forced Cruz and Kasich from the race.

Since the Wisconsin primary last month, Trump has been on a killer streak, winning virtually every county in NY, CT, RI, MD, DE, PA and IN.

By most accounts, Trump is currently at 1,068 delegates, needing only 167 more delegates to secure the nomination. It is no longer a matter of if, but when, Trump secures these delegates (and then adds a cushion).

70 of these delegates can go to Trump Tuesday night. It is a virtual certainty Trump will win WV big, with perhaps over 70 per cent of the vote. This will get him all 34 delegates available. The only relatively uncertainty was NE, which until recently, was assumed to go into the Cruz column. But if Trump can win a plurality there, he will take all 36 delegates which will push his total to 1,138 delegates, needing only 97 more delegates with OR, WA, SD, NM, NJ, MT and CA to come.

If Trump runs the table, as he should, he will go into the convention with over 1,500 pledged delegates.

Not bad for a man who was supposedly on the ropes after the Wisconsin defeat last month.

Perhaps I’m naive, but for all his flaws, I’m convinced Trump is an America-loving patriot. That’s good enough for me.

Nationalism is definitely preferable to globalism. Those are the choices.

Trump is as much of a Globalist as much as Hillary, but has convince Americans otherwise.

I don’t believe that. I’m willing to take the chance. Hillary finishes this country off.

Some of these videos have no way to get back to page. I can’t understand why that happens. I bang around until I have to go to alt/escape and lose everything.

This video was one of those. :)

Thank you for playing. Now sit your back pockets down over there, on the grassy knoll with the whiners.

Whiners? Sorry for being a principled Conservative, who isn’t buying the bs Trump is selling.

Crooked Hillary, how about crooked Trump, they both are Li earls so I’m suppose to vote for one Liberal to defeat another, real smart.

Sorry to hear you say that. Don’t opus out just yet; give it a few weeks. If you voted for Romney, you have no basis to not vote for Trump. The difference is that Trump intends to do what he has promised and all those things are conservative. I am hopeful you will figure that out.

Donald Trump is the most conservative candidate we’ve had since Ronald Reagan. If you disagree, tell me who?

[so I’m suppose to vote for one Liberal to defeat another, real smart.]

So, what do you gain by not voting for Trump? Satisfaction?

“It will be so nice to have a First Family that does not have anybody that is scowling, complaining or otherwise being an embarrassment or distraction to the president.”

And to have all the hog jowls, chitlins, cockroaches and bedbugs removed/ fumigated out of the White House. Unfortunately the Obola Stench involves more that physical smells, it also involves purging the lack of honesty and dignity that should be part of the Presidential Residence. That will take more than the Orkin Man.

Jim Robinson himself has posted a couple of times regarding this liberal LIE which you've apparently swallowed.

Going back several decades, Donald Trump's conservative positions on issues such as immigration, trade, and taxation can be documented well enough. Indeed, much of the evidence comes from several of Trump's own books.

So it's unfortunate that you've been conditioned to accept a false premise with regard to Donald Trump's conservative policies.

If you take an objective look at Trump's policy positions, you can clearly see that he's the most conservative Presidential candidate since Reagan.

Indeed, if you'll recall, even Reagan signed the Immigration Act of 1986, which granted amnesty to millions.

So just know that your belief in Trump's liberalism, for all intents and purposes, is false.

Vote Trump!

In as much as Lady Bird was a “woofer” too, I’m wondering if he picked her up by her ears as well. I remember when she took on the “Beautification of America.” All she really needed to do was put a paper bag over her head.

You’re a whiner and you are no “conservative”.

You may prove to be no patriot to your country either.

There is no policy that is more “conservative” than those of Donald TRUMP. There was no candidate on the field without ties to the North American Union, open borders agenda. Carson, and maybe, maybe Huckabee.

Neither led a Movement Revolution. None of them did.

TRUMP 2016
