When losing to the star of a reality TV show, is it really so crazy to resort to reality-show tactics to defeat him? “

The reason why you are losing is BECAUSE your mind only sees him as a “reality TV star”.

You think if you dial back your IQ, that somehow you are playing on his field (because he obviously must be stupid), completely neglecting that that TV show was a very mild form of “reality TV” at best that he really didnt even appear on the majority of, and forgetting that his other REAL JOB was running a large company worth billions and employing thousands.

but see, Cruz people are “too smart” to get this, so while I just gave you a major hint, you guys will just keep doing stupid and then wonder why it isnt working.

Trump wins everything tomorrow by 20 points or more

I have not seen Kansas

Florida 22 and Rubio pissed off the whole panhandle Super Tuesday.

Ohio is Close.

But New York and New Jersey I am sure that easy. Pa I am sure is Trumps

And if he is stopped and that makes you sad, don't hate the players, hate the game.

And when he's not stopped, nobody will be whining more than Jonah. He's become a profession cry baby.

I think what the Trump backers are doing is to quietly note which people in an official capacity are running around with their hair on fire while spewing purple prose or worse.

It’s sort of like that moment in a thunderstorm when you can’t see anything because it’s pitch black and the rain is pouring, and then a bolt of lightning lights up the landscape in sharp detail in all directions.

It’s been illuminating, but I don’t think there are enough lamp posts in America for what will happen to these people if Mr. Trump fails in his mercy killing of the globalist agenda.

Calling my reasonable statement childish doesn’t make it so. You are name calling rather than addressing what I said. Trump crushes anyone who disagrees with him. He is so proud of that tactic that he wrote a book about it. That’s documented and illustrated fact. He is the epitome of someone who can dish it out but not take it. He is an abuse of power waiting to happen.

No, it is in fact cheating. Journalists are supposed to report the news, not be the news. The RNC is supposed to stay the hell out of the way of the people’s will in the primary. Neither of these things are happening, so yes, it is cheating!

I guess the ONLY COMPLAINT is why the GOPe feels like they have VETO POWER over the candidate their OWN VOTERS want.

If that’s how they feel, then perhaps they should dispense altogether with Primaries and Caucuses and simply meet in a smoke-filled room and pick someone - just as the Libertarians and Greens do (and probably do as well as they do also).

What we don’t like is being treated like USEFUL IDIOTS, who are ONLY PERMITTED to support their, selected, candidate, and then told in November to bend over and vote for him, because the “Democrat is worse”.

Interesting times we live in, huh? This is slowly changing from a circular firing squad into a knife fight in a phone booth. It will not be pretty. Not at all.

Guess we can look at it this way - Trump survives this once in a lifetime cabal that Jonah calls totally righteous then he’s as strong a POTUS as were ever going to have.

1) Hundreds of thousands of Registered Democrats have voted for Trump in the past few open primaries, so Republicans are not all to blame for Trump’s winnings. The next few primaries are closed, we might see Donald’s numbers go down..

And those will vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton in November in the general election. Count on it.

Only a loser would rationalize this way, Jonah.

Milt Romley is a coward and a snake for trying to scam the rules to his own benefit. All he's going to accomplish is to f everything up for everyone.

What makes you think he sold Dove Bars on the street? I did a search on his biography and no where does it mention anything like that.

This is America I'll complain about anything I want.

I do not care about mitt romney's opinions. Not on anything.
I voted for and donated to mitt, and little paulie boehner.
mitt lost and as speaker of the house-well, I see where little Boehner stands.

I will not give in and vote for the gope's guy.

If Donald Trump wins, I'll vote for him.
If Ted Cruz wins, I'll vote for him.
The only one I will not vote for (right now) is rubio.
He's another guy I donated to and supported. It won't happen again.

And if there's going to be debates, maybe it's time the democrats had some with some actual gotcha questions fired at them (especially Hillary)

The media not is holding debates- only candidate ambushes.
But so far never ambushes of democrat candidates.

He said it on television. Why the hell would he have that on his CV?

You people amaze me. Last night, on national TV, Trump reversed himself on H1B visas, the very thing he had two Disney employees campaigning with him on. It’s clear he’s playing you for rubes, but you simply drink the kool-aid and keep attacking on his behalf.
