On the surface, things are looking pretty good for Donald Trump’s efforts to capture the Republican nomination.

He’s received more votes, and has more pledged delegates, than any other candidate. After Missouri certified its race on Tuesday, Trump’s delegate lead was 755 to 545 over Sen. Ted Cruz, with 1,237 needed to win the nomination.

Trump is about to overwhelmingly capture his home state of New York, and is poised to do nearly as well in Pennsylvania. And Trump has the full backing of some crucial parts of conservative media, notably The Drudge Report.

And yet there’s an increasing desperation in the air from the Trump camp. Trump was on the O’Reilly Factor on Monday night with nary an insult for anyone, apart from the nations of China and Mexico.

While I agree with the premise, that article was like cotton candy. A whole lot of nothing.

Stupid article and Trump’s statements on O’Reilly were directly the result of the questions being asked. A lot of people don’t realize Trump is usually a very respectful person. Well, usually.

He can identify as front-runner just liked that white chick at NAACP identified as black or Bruce Jenner identifies as a chick.

Cruz is turning off ever more Republicans, he is millions of votes behind, he has only actually won four states where the people actually vote, but he is somehow “front runner”

Baloney.

“It may be time to consider Ted Cruz the Republican front-runner”

Trump got more votes, has more delegates, but “let’s consider Cruz the front-runner”.

Sounds logical, if you are completely insane.

No, no, no.

It's perfectly logical.

Absolutely! Ted Cruz is now the front runner! He has more of the Republican Establishment for him than Donald J. Trump, and that is what counts! Wait a minute.... doesn’t the Republican Establishment hate Ted Cruz? Right... Now that Donald J. Trump has been disposed of, the Republican Establishment can turn their attention of Ted Cruz!
