Here's How Donald Trump Could Become President
Huffington Post ^ | 02/22/2016 | Zach Carter and Ryan Grim

Trump is no Romney. He is running an unsubtle, racist campaign that has particularly targeted Latinos. His chances of winning swing states with significant Latino populations -- Florida, Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico -- are extremely low.

But he doesn't need them to win. All he has to do is carry the Rust Belt -- a region perfectly attuned to Trump's fiery denunciations of American trade policy and his angry condemnation of Washington corruption.

I am going to go out on a limb here and say he can win if he gets enough electoral votes.

Vera Coking's house between the steel framework of Bob Guccione's planned Penthouse Casino. In the 1970s, Penthouse magazine publisher Bob Guccione offered Coking $1 million for her property. When she refused, he built around it, severely reducing its property value:

And the Republican idiots that supported his leadership position must be voted out of office.

That would be all of them.

Name one thing Cruz has put on the line? Sure is not his senate job. What else does he have to put on the line?

But think. I’m a Cruz guy who’s gonna vote Trump in the generals.

Take the shortcut and save the grief. Cruz is not going to win.

What drugs are YOU on ?
TED CRUZ STOOD AGAINST the "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" and called them LIARS TO THEIR FACES !

You don't think that's putting it ALL on the line ?

You MUST HAVE went through the Public Education System,
where the Teachers Unions makes it IMPOSSIBLE to teach our history, and to teach THE TRUTH !

IF you think standing in the well of the Senate calling the Senate leader a liar is heroic then you and I live in a parallel universe. To this day I have yet to hear what McConnell said that was a lie... I have heard Cruz's claims... and what did Cruz gain by making this publicity stunt? On this morning Cruz has by his own mouth and acts of his campaign, and his mega packer donors have left the scarlet liar label up one side and down the other on Cruz. He will never recover, no matter how able he is to parse his words.

So the lie was McConnell did a secret deal? Or the deal was not secret?

No, because Trump moved a lot of people right. Getting them to talk about immigration, being spot on about Islamic terrorism. They’ll back the nominee.
