Redstate's Leon Wolf: "No CNN, Trump is not on the Path to the Nomination"

Redstate ^ | Feb 20 2016 | Leon Wolf

Right after calling the South Carolina primary for Trump, the CNN political panel was borderline orgasmic and already calling the entire race for Trump. They claimed, incredibly, that it would take an unexpected and unforeseeable event for someone other than Trump to win.

CNN is as slow to adapt to the reality of Trump as the Republican establishment has been. If Donald Trump were a traditional Republican, I would agree that this race would already be over. But what CNN is ignoring is the mounting evidence that Donald Trump does not receive momentum from victories like other Republicans in the past have done.

It will be tough on some folks. It will take a while. As far as I am concerned it’s forgotten.

It won’t be so easy for others. I understand that.

Better check your math. Rubio still trails Trump in your senario

He needs Cruz out to win.

[SunkenCiv]

SC results.

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks Laplata.

[MNJohnnie]

Interesting

Not quite but close to this result

Trump wins with 32%

Rubio/Cruz tied for 2nd in the 22% range

Bush/Kairch/Carson tied for 3rd in the 7% range

At this point, Trump has had two solid showings. You could argue that he has momentum, if such a thing is possible in an election. More like lemmings to the sea, but that is another argument for another day.

Stupid Tuesday is in 10 days, and the picture will be clearer then, but not until March 15th when the closed primaries begin will we have a more definite picture of how things will play out to locking up enough delegates to secure the nomination. IIRC, Stupid Tuesday is Open primaries and not winner take all. March 15 is mostly closed primaries and winner take all.

95% of the delegates are still up for grabs, so we have a lot to learn in the next few weeks

You’re welcome.

[laplata]

I think you have it right. It makes sense.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Leon Wolf cannot bear the thought of Trump.

[DouglasKC]

Does not receive momentum? Strong second in Iowa. First in NH. First in SC. No mo. Okay.

'Herr Wolf' was the alias that Hitler used after the failed putsch when he got out of prison. Wonder if there is a relationship.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Not sure how you can call Cruz an establishment hack.

[I was Spartacus]

Looks like a Skin-head Marxist thug.

Please read the post you’re responding to again.

I think you’ll answer your own question.

[Bubba Gump Shrimp]

How was it a fake pic? (sorry, I am kind of new here, and I really have no idea what RedState is all about).

Or what was the pic implying?

It doesn’t look bad to me, just looks like SP and Santa posing for a picture.

What am I missing?

Nice catch-- there are a lot of Dem voters who want anyone to break up the corrupt combine in DC. They would vote for Sanders if they could, not necessarily because the want full-blown socialism, but because the don't want another corrupt politician in charge, just like many Trump supporters on the Republican side.

Trump has a good chance of pulling many of those voters from the Hildebeast in November, more so than any other Republican.
