Great news on the Reoublican primaries turn out.

Paging Tokyo Rove, please pick up the courtesy phone. It’s LS calling, with a YUGE dose of reality.

Amen LS.

In my analysis above and the spreadsheet that accompanies it, I point out this very thing.

But by my numbers, through March 15th, the four GOP candidates had 19,785,000 votes.

Hillary and Bernie had 14,700,000 votes.

Even then, turnout difference is staggering, and the disparity will continue to grow throughout the remaining races..

Whether people like Rove want to admit it or not, Donald Trump is a big part of that turnout, and I believe it will be reflected in the general election as well.

Objectively, what is Hillary’s platform? What issues is she running on?

The only issue she is running on is say and do whatever it takes to keep on keeping on, continuing the grifting, the outright theft of the treasury in pieces, in any way she can.

Remember, this is the legal mind that was fired during the Watergate investigation for making shit up.

LS did you do the State by State differences? Great way to show we CAN win...

If you’re the person who set them all out - do you have a link?

Thanks.

I did not. This time around, I was only looking at the gross numbers.

It is my opinion, at this point, that the best thing Ted Cruz could do would be to wait until his and Donald Trump's combined total of delegates climbs over the threshold for nomination, (and this will almost assuredly occur by the end of March) and then make a deal with Trump where Ted cruz commits his delegates to Trump in exchange for Cruz becoming the VP selection for Donald Trump. Doing this would accomplish several important things:

It would unite the party well before the convention.
It would create a clear, overwhelming victory in delegates and popular votes for the two anti-GOP Establishment candidates.
It would avoid a convention fight and a deeply divided party.
It would allow the GOP to focus on the November general election starting in April


I have admired you on this forum for many years but, I will never vote for Cruz because he is not eligible. Cruz on the ticket would kill my vote. This idea is insane.

Cruz is not electable. And he is not eligible.

Frankenstein's monster would make more sense. Trump/Cruz is a nightmare.

We disagree. I believe Cruz is eligible.

His mother was a US citizen and of age when he was born. despite being born in Canada, with his mother being an of age US citizen meeting the other criteria of residency in the US, he became a natural born citizen.

A good comparison would be against Obama if he were born in Kenya.

His mother was a US citizen, but at the time of his birth I do not think she met either the age, or amount of time in residency in the US.

Which is why they have gone to such extremes to says he was born in Hawaii.

Anyhow, I respect your right to disagree with that.

But I believe if it goes to court, that the Supreme Court will find him eligible for the reasons I just gave.

And perhaps that will happen.

Trump himself, early in the campaign, before Cruz started doing well, indicated that his lawyers had looked at it and that his lawyers told him there was no problem. I believe he actually said this in the 1st debate.

Later, when Cruz started doing better, Trump opened this back up. And in that debate when questioned why, to his credit he said that it was because Cruz was doing better.

Anyhow, a Trump/Cruz ticket would do all of the things I mentioned earlier. And since I believe he is eligible, I would support it.

If the Supreme Court ruled differently, that would be a different matter.

Perhaps we will get the chance to find out.

Do enjoy your reports once awake and after that first shot of caffeine. There is too much information to absorb w/o the caffeine to help open the eyes!

Many things brought into notice and looking at certain incidents from different perspectives.

Keep on keeping on. Thank you for the article and the ping.

Please consider the fact that there are millions like me that know he is not eligible or would be influenced by a media campaign indicating Cruz is not eligible and therefore will refuse to vote for him even on a Trump/Cruz ticket.

That is how your plan would break down.
