I remember the little girl with the daisy ad and the exploding bomb. It ran a lot on TV, over and over. Be prepared for similar crap today.

The ad ran once. A huge fire storm erupted after it was shown, so it was (wisely) dropped after that.

I don't think either party could get away with that now, despite Obama's bitching Trump shouldn't be allowed access to the codes.

This - from a f***ing community organizer.

He literally makes me want to puke. CA....

You would think Rubio would do well in Nevada but I hope not.

I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Never underestimate a person's ability to confirm his own bias....

Surprised that cat hasn’t danced his stripes off! Isn’t this the GREATEST?!! LOL it was over so fast didn’t have an opportunity to pop the cork. All aboard the Trump Train.

It’s party time and off to work again. Unbelievable. A candidate that speaks FOR US. How long has it been?

“The liberals are taking full control! Pro-life activism is going to be banned soon.

Why would anyone bother? Pro-life activism as it is practiced by the white-knights, manginas, and soup-kitchen advocates has accomplished essentially nothing.”

Really????

Public opinion has been changing dramatically over the last decade. They are doing amazing work to inform the public.

I’m always a little taken aback when a politician evolves to a pro-life position, and they get criticized for flip flopping. The whole point of demonstrating and raising awareness is to change minds and hearts.

We should celebrate when a candidate, or whoever, sees the truth. Are there opportunists, yes, but we can’t reject everyone that sees the light, just because we may not like them.

“Too bad he’s been so nasty that a lot of Cruz voters will say shove it.”

There are a lot of Cruz voters who have just thrown up their hands tonight and are ready to walk from the party if any of these chumps win the nomination. Seriously, are there any remotely acceptable alternatives?

Yeah, and Arnold Schwarzenegger took control of the California GOP, and look how well that worked out.

Hope and reality are two very different things.

Question 1: Is Trump better than Hillary or Bernie? Yes.

Question 2: Is Trump the best we could do? No.

Question 3: Is Trump going to make for a better future? Very much in doubt.

Messiahs, with One very great exception, seldom turn out to be what one hopes.

Would love to know what the current internal polls are in FL, NC, OH, VA, NV, IA, and a couple of other states on Trump vs. Hillary. Forget the national head -to-head . It’ time to start contemplating an electoral strategy...which is why Kasich is still hanging in there. And which VP makes a difference.

If you're serious about changing minds and hearts, look to the environmentalist model, not the pro-life model.

Celebrating small victories only vaccinates advocates from paying attention to their lack of winning.

Shirley you're not suggesting that California is representative of the rest of the country....

there’s a lot of wishful thinking in your anti-Trump obituary. To start with, your evidence-free assertion that Trump has a 35 percent “ceiling” - but Rubio the amnesty boy has no ceiling.

Actually I think the Daisy Ad ran just once....as a paid ad. Although it might have gotten play from news organizations.

Donald Trump is the only candidate in history who can control the press whether they like him or not.

I’ve already walked away from the Republican party. I’m a Cruz supporter and have serious doubts that I can vote for the unstable character....Trump. I may just sit at home as might a lot of people I know.
