Bloomberg/Romney, that’s the ideal GOP ticket.
...and a call went out to the lands, give us our Mitt!
Well I’m one of those and there is no viable alternative at this point.
And then there is this little thing about actually having to win delegates when Trump already holds a commanding edge in polls, in two waves of primaries that will be done in 15 days. Little nitpicking detail.
THAT'S funny
This cycle, nobody not firmly and credibly planning to enforce border security is viable.
Bottom line is that Cruz cannot beat Hillary. She’ll go for free stuff and emotion while Cruz will try to argue logic with people of 75 IQ.
Who’s next, The Great Mormon Hope.
Who says that Ted Cruz (R-Alberta) or Narco Rubio (R-Foam Party) can’t win in the general???
Only one choice makes sense: Eric Cantor.
They have a candidate. Her name is Hillary.
Romney/Soros 2016
Trial balloon, thy name art Romney....
I thought, when this trump thing started, it was a PR stunt. Now, it looks like he could be the nominee. What to do if, as it appears, he is the GOP standard bearer? I can see only two options given that a felon(as yet unindicted but a felon none the less) will be running for the dumocrats: Trump or abstain realizing that an abstention is the same as voting for Herself. All I can say is good luck Yanks. You are going to need it.
One thing is for damned sure, the next 4 years and 8 months is going to be very eventful and unpredictable.
It’s too late. Trump has the momentum, the poll numbers, and in 36 hours will have over a third of the delegates he needs to outright win the nomination.
I’m a Cruz supporter and will still vote for him in my Primary, but Trump has this thing sewn up.
He has 82 delegates as of right now. Tomorrow he will likely get another 350 (low end) to 425 (high end). He’s just dominating. He needs 1,237 to win outright, even without rule 40(b) making it impossible for anyone else to even be nominated.
If he ends up with 500 tomorrow, he just has to focus on the winner take all states of:
California (172)
Florida (99)
Pennsylvania (71)
Illinois (69)
New Jersey (51)
Indiana (46)
Wisconsin (42)
Maryland (38)
If he wins those, that takes him to 1,088, just 149 delegates short.
And then you need to look at some of the big proportional states that he is doing well in:
New York (95)
Michigan (59)
North Carolina (55)
Virginia (49)
Louisiana (46)
Washington (44)
If he is 149 short, then he only needs to win 42% just from those States. And that assumes that he doesn’t get a single delegate from the other 18 State contests.
Tomorrow will tell us if Trump clinches before or on April 19th, the day of New York’s primary.
It is true that we need an alternative. Instead we get lists of reasons not to vote for Trump. The politicians, pundits, experts, writers, and others who are telling us how bad Trump is have lost credibility so they aren’t even in position to give us an alternative.
If they hadn’t pushed McCain, Romney, Boehner, Ryan, McConnell and hadn’t kept the house and senate “leaders” from doing things the voters wanted, then people may listen to them now. But there’s nothing they can say or do at this point. There is no alternative but more of the same.
If Trump done even one of the conservative things he’s selling that will be one more thing than the Republicans have delivered the last 7 years - and last year we gave them both the house and senate. Maybe Trump will be more of the same. Or just maybe we’ll get a wall. I’ll vote Trump and hope for the best.
BBC like the commie contra pope is trying to meddle in our presidential selection. They are meddling and hoping, and that bs will not work.
Political science professor forecasts Trump as general election winner
The Statesman | February 23, 2016 | Christopher Cameron
A professor of political science at Stony Brook University has forecasted that Donald Trump has a minimum 97 percent chance of winning the general election as the Republican nominee.
Professor Helmut Norpoth’s forecast presentation took place Monday evening in the SUNY Global Center in Manhattan, which was organized by the Stony Brook Alumni Association.
Norpoth created a statistical model of presidential elections that uses a candidate’s performance in their party’s primary and patterns in the electoral cycle as predictors of the presidential vote in the general election.
Donald Trump has a 97 percent chance of defeating Hillary Clinton and a 99 percent chance of defeating Bernie Sanders in the general election, according to Norpoth’s formula.
The bottom line is that the primary model, using also the cyclical movement, makes it almost certain that Donald Trump will be the next president, Norpoth said, if he’s a nominee of the [Republican] party.
Norpoth’s primary model works for every presidential election since 1912, with the notable exception of the 1960 election. These results give the model an accuracy of 96.1 percent.

So we need another big name reality tv show host that can just fling whatever he wants and get the crowds cheering for his stardom? Not that I’d support that candidate. But yeah, probably.
There’s always Jeb! He has a strong conservative record and knows how to get things done.
