"Rubio could conceivably coalesce enough support among well educated, relatively affluent"

But not among the well educated, relatively affluent rank-and-file LESS moderate Republicans who are REALLY, REALLY p!ssedoff at the GOPe sellout of our country in favor of keeping the gravy train rolling for themselves,what with all of those D.C. shrimp cocktail and caviar soirées, free jet trips around the world, free five-start hotel living, free five-star restaurant dining, and all the major sporting event skyboxes they choose to occupy, all at taxpayer and lobbyist expense.

And it's not JUST conservatives, and it's not JUST Republicans: there's a GROUNDSWELL of p!ssedoffness that radiates far beyond just those traditional groups.

It’s France in the late 1700’s all over again.

It is interesting to note that the Left considers the French Revolution to be a good thing but both Left and Right consider the Conservative Revolution a bad thing.

The more they stamp their feet and threaten to hold their breath, etc. the more you question, what is it about Trump that has them so fearful?

It’s more than what’s on the surface. It is not something that the public is even aware of. It has got to be much deeper than that...earth shattering in fact.

We have got to start digging deeper into their fear.

Riiiiiight!

The guy who battles with the other guy for 3rd place is going to be the single alternative?

Reconsider after tomorrow, after the new delegate counts are made available. That 'single alternative' will be lucky to have two dozen, while Trump could be nearing 500.

Where the hell do they get that? I have analyzed EVERY poll where I can see the crosstabs and I have not found ONE poll where Trump loses to Rubes or Cruz among either “college ed” or “some college” or income $45,000 and $65,000 and over $65,000 (a proxy for college grads).

So, no, there is NO path for Rubio among the “well educated, relatively affluent.” NONE.

I was going to comment, but you’ve covered all the bases. My “pissedoffedness meter” is pegged! Trump will need to go on a prison construction binge to house all the lawbreakers we currently have infesting our government. I just hope he prosecutes enough of them so that any would be government crooks will take the hint.

They will not accept a loss to the people so the establishment’s plan B will be to orchestrate the vote count so the queen of crime ends up in the WH. What will the good patriots of the US do then?

Those of us who are highly educated have diversity of opinion, just like everyone else.

Rubio is part of the ‘Gang of Eight’. None of us would EVER vote for him. Is the GOPe nuts?

Cruz or death people are arguably the snobbiest most know it all arrogant political crybaby jerks ever to come down the political pike

That Patrick guy on Rush right now at 1220pm exemplifies the worst of it

Geezuss
