You'll get no shortage of Trump-is-the-nominee talk today. At worst, he's in a very strong position. At best, he's the presumptive nominee. But even though I'm a born-pessimist, I'm not quite sure that I'm convinced by the best-case (for Trump) argument. So for the sake of argument, let's lay out the case for why Super Tuesday was not actually a campaign ender. ... ... ...

Go for it, you should subscribe to them too. Since NY Times writes Trump hit pieces you should consider a subscription to them. Your new buddies.

And when they endorse Marco instead of Elmer Gantry, maybe you will see light.

Actually thought it was an interesting article.

It is really despicable to see any conservative give any creedance to the absurd David Duke setup.

But I think the point that Trump is only averaging 36% of the vote of important too.

..Cruz won resounding victories in Texas...

If he would have lost his home state, he would have been finished. Oklahoma? A Texans nightmare is to wake up one morning and find out Texas is actually part of Oklahoma.

You know why Texas doesn’t fall into the Gulf of Mexico? Because Oklahoma SUCKS.

/Texas snark — actually just fine with Oklahoma

Well this comment from the article caught my attention:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

“The single most shocking number from Super Tuesday might have been this poll showing voter awareness about various aspects of Trump: Only 27 percent had heard about his reluctance to denounce David Duke and the KKK; 20 percent about Trump University and the fraud lawsuit; 13 percent about the failure of Trump Mortgage.

At some point, those numbers will all be at 90 percent because someone will spend a lot of money putting ads about them all over television in battleground states. The only question is whether it will be conservatives or Hillary Clinton who expose voters to this information. Either way, it suggests that Trump still has the potential for downward mobility if conservative donors are serious about stopping him.”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

When people seek the dodging on Duke and the KKK and the ‘little guys’ scammed by Trump U it will leave a mark.
