...another day, another Vanity.
“A real drum-beating is about to commence. Trump is going to not only defeat Hillary but slice open the DNC and rip out its entrails.”
Yes!
And Trump is the ONLY one with the ability to do that.
Time and again Ted Cruz slammed the door in his own face. Donald Trump, on the other hand, has the Midas Touch of politics.
[Followed by eight points.]
Cruz himself has admitted that he can’t possibly win 1237 delegates. Last night I saw him saying that if Trump continued to win delegates at his current rate, Trump wouldn’t get to 1237. By the exact same token, if Cruz wins delegates at his current rate, he will be way behind Trump by convention time.
The other day Cruz even said that he was fine with an open convention, not exactly words of someone who expects to win the nomination honestly.
“A real drum-beating is about to commence. Trump is going to not only defeat Hillary but slice open the DNC and rip out its entrails.”
Provided all of those Democrats for Trump don’t return leadership of the House and Senate back to the Democrats. Think they are going to be voting straight party Republican ticket for the same ‘establishment Republicans’ they claim to oppose?
Mr. Trump has already promised he’s quite willing to strike deals with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. I don’t see how that slices open the DNC and cuts them in any way.
As I’ve said before, what is Cruz’s path to the Presidency? Forget the convention and the nomination. How is he going to win the general election when he pulled less than 20% in Virginia, Ohio, and Florida?
What’s the old sports saying...Act like you’ve been there before. Given the number of pure rooting vanities since Trump became the bona fide front runner, not only do his supporters behave as if they’ve not been there before, they behave as if they’re very insecure that they are there now.
East of the Mississippi, its all Trump - especially the South and industrial North.
Cross-over votes are key....Trump has been mining these as assiduously as a California gold-miner.
Niche candidate Cruz will NEVER get cross-over votes. Heck, he didn/t even get evangelical votes....the votes on which he based his entire campaign strategy.
A recent blogger said he always keeps Trump/s name attached to Sanders.
That prevents brain lock in a liberal.
Then you might casually say to the liberal something like "there/s so much corruption in politics"......off-handedly mentioning super-delegates attached to Hillary that are preventing poor Bernie from getting the nom.
The blogger confided he had even gotten a liberal to say "Hillary should be indicted" using this strategy.
SUMMARY: Time for Cruz to begin worshipping the messiah, the most blessed Donald Trump (Let us praise Him) — resistance is futile.
Cruz is too self centered to bow out and support Trump to defeat Hillary.
Great post; great thread.
HOORAY Trump
I just don’t buy this often repeated notion that Trump can’t possibly beat Hillary. The 2016 election will be a mirror image of the 2012 election. Mitt Romney was a lousy politician and mediocre campaigner who inspired no enthusiasm. The election was decided by unmotivated Republicans not bothering to vote.
This time around Hillary is the horrifyingly bad campaigner who inspires no enthusiasm. The voters she’s counting on to put her over the finish line will sleep in on election day.
Can’t disagree at all.

It might be too late for Cruz...As he sinks further and further into the GOPe abyss, his original supporters who latched on to him due to his anti-GOPe rhetoric may be scampering toward the real anti-establishment contender, Donald Trump...You can see it starting right here on FR...
You make a lot of great points and raise all the right issues.
Point (1): Trump did well in Ohio, and he may have actually done much better than we will ever really know.
Some highly creative cheaters operate in Ohio.
I recall thousands of imaginary voters registering election day with the same park bench address. Appeals to Ohio Supreme Court or SOS fail.
Mr. Curtis’s testimony, a software programmer testifying in Ohio in 2006 regarding the rigged vote machine setup 51/49. This one involves the former FL Speaker of the House and Yang Corp. His testimony is on YouTube.
