It's still not over but some seem to be hiding their heads in the sand and squinching their eyes shut real hard while saying, "Trump will fall, Trump will fall, Trump will fall".

I'm fine with Trump or Cruz, but it's looking like trump has the clearest route and possibly the best chance to beat the other side (Hillary and Bernie are the other side, not Trump or Cruz for those who have a "really strong preference" but many seem to have forgotten that.). March is about here and that's when i was expecting things to clear up a bit - with Jeb out too, things are looking like Trump/Cruz/Rubio duking it out to settle the dust and Rubio will have the support of the insiders and others who really want Hillary.

If Republicans head to Cleveland with no candidate securing a majority of delegates (every political pundit's daydream), and a brokered convention comes to fruition,

The Party's Rule 40 states:

(b) Each candidate for nomination for President of the United States and Vice President of the United States shall demonstrate the support of a majority of the delegates from each of eight (8) or more states, severally, prior to the presentation of the name of that candidate for nomination
If Trump wins 8 or more "winner take all" states, and no other candidate has passed the 8-state threshold, then Trump may show up at the convention as the ONLY candidate who is allowed to be voted on in the first round.

Comments? Yeah, Vet, I've got something say.
The talking heads still don't get it. In large part, America has figured it out. For the last quarter of a century, WE the Republic, have been denied the choice to say NO to socialism.
It has been a setup. The fix was always in.
We, the Republic, have been loosing a war of financial attrition for decades. We, the Republic are engaged in a war with those who govern us. Drastic measures are required to defeat this enemy in order to stop the bleeding that each of us are seeing in the depreciation of our savings, the constant onslaught of taxes, fees, and licenses. Each of them designed to remove our ability to live free.
If a slave is a person who works for no money, then a paid person who works with no money left for savings or investment is therefore a slave.
The Communists are very good at planning each move, they have been at it for over sixty years, to bury us. They are so close to succeeding.
Trump has stepped in and has sensed our rage.We want to throw our shoes into the machinery. We want to turn over the apple carts and toss tea into the harbor. Trump is giving us a voice. He is giving our children and grandchildren a fighting chance of enjoying the life that our parents fought and spilled blood in Europe and Japan so as to impart liberty to ourselves.
No, we will no longer hide in the shadow of political correctness.

No, we will no longer stand idle in the face of the globalist Red Menace.

No, we will not play the game of choosing which Socialist will rob our children.

No, we will not play the game of choosing which Socialist will import an army of decapitating, lawless, savages into our home to eradicate Freedom and the American Way.

ANY and EVERY politician who will not build a wall is declaring he/she DOES NOT CARE IF YOU DIE!

I do no think Trump is a conservative.
I do not think Trump is morally pious and pure.
I do not think Trump is void of indiscretions or mistakes.
I do believe that any candidate that is a true conservative, morally pure, pious, and has walked the straight and narrow...would not stand a chance against the the globalist red menace that is systematically deconstructing our nation.
No, far from it.
Right now we need our own paladin of chaotic malice with a depraved sense of overly vengeful justice that will stand not for giving quarter.
Right now we need our own Son of a Bitch glorious bastard, faults and all. We need to stomp out the treachery of political correctness that perpetuates racial discontent and has created Europe-istan, a Nuclear Iran, as well as ushering in a new world order of penniless servitude consisting of the entire earthly population bowing to but a few of the elite socialist megalomaniacs.
We need our own monster.
Ted Cruz may well be as advertised. No one knows. Four years ago, no one knew who he was.
He is young, deploy the Trump Bomb now, it is an ugly weapon of mass destruction that will result in some collateral damage, but it is required. Alas, we have run out of time.
It will take many Ted Cruz clones to restore order in the aftermath.
Thanks Vet, a load off my mind.

His message focused on fear, anger, disgust, and a desire to “Make America Great Again”

NOPE, John Hudack (??) still does not get it!

“Fear”, hah, Trump and his supporters are fearless.
“anger, disgust”, you betcha, directed at the professional politicians who promise one thing, then do the exact opposite to cling to their office and perks.
“desire” to make Americia Great Again, that which Trump has promised is not a heavy lift. Trump pledges to follow a law and build the wall, junk 0bama care, and look after the best interests of US Citizens

The South Carolina primary results don't mean Trump will be the nominee.

Maybe not. But it does make it more likely.

I don’t think the GOP knows what they’ll be in for IF they somehow screw Trump out of the nomination after he amasses a commanding number of delegates. They’re used to making deals with politicians. If they say to Trump privately “Hey, if you fall on your sword on this one your turn will be next election”. Or “If you fall on your sword on this one we’ll take care of you for life”....he’s going to go public early and often and rat out the entire nest of vipers. He will essentially destroy the GOP as a party and basically put every GOP hack out of a job. After he does this his popularity is going to skyrocket.

Go Trump!

50% of this country’s problems are directly connected to GOPe corruption.

The other 50% are directly connected to DNCe corruption. :)
