Will Trump Drop Out?
Wall Street Journal ^ | 04/06/2016 | James Taranto

Posted on 04/06/2016 11:02:36 AM PDT by Responsibility2nd

“[Donald] Trump’s second-place finish to Sen. Ted Cruz (Tex.) in Tuesday’s Wisconsin Republican primary may represent no ordinary setback,” write the Washington Post’s Karen Tumulty, Jose A. DelReal and Robert Costa. “It appears to be a pivot point—although it has yet to be seen whether the trajectory from here points downward or upward.”

~snip~

The last time he faced the prospect of venturing into hostile territory—when his rally in Chicago was overrun by left-wing disruptors—he ended up bugging out. If he fails to secure a majority of delegates, perhaps rather than endure defeat in Cleveland he will find a way to withdraw ungraciously before the convention.

why are you acting like that. I just asked you if you thought this was stupid article and all you had t say was no or yes.
Instead you go about on insults, tell me the WSJ are not morons wen I never said they were, and by your post you seem to take great delight over this article as if it is funny wen the country and vets, and the border is in dire need of help.

The problem is that Trump has made it so the Republican candidate can’t win. A RINO should take the blame, not a conservative.

When he gets bored, or is finished with what hie intended, he will drop out. I don’t think he wants to be president, nor do I think he would enjoy it.

Agreed. See my post 68. Lets not forget the thinking last year of WHY Trump jumped in the GOP race.

Right? It’s like they told some journo-kitten to find a spin to make it look like Cruz is going to win and this is what they got.

“Being president is hard work and forces men’s hair to go grey.”

I laugh everytime I hear that silly cult of the presidency claim. Every dictatorship on earth has come with a story about the leader destroying his very health as he works so hard for the nation.

Every man of that age goes gray, but we are in slackjawed amazement at the burden a president supposedly carries.

The reality; all the rest he wants, a completely pampered existence, with personal chefs, trainers, doctors, drivers, etc. The finest of carefully chosen foods, the best medical care a human being can have, a complete absence of financial worry that a normal man carries. A fine and expensive lifestyle for life. And if they so choose, the sexual favors of adoring twenty somethings no matter what the guy looks like. All the vacations he could ever want, 4, 5, or 6 a year. Any one of which would be a once in a lifetime, still unobtainable experience for anyone else.

Yes, those presidents,,, the job makes a 58 year old man go gray I tell ya! lol

The WS-open border-we’d rather have Hillary-J, asking if Trump, who leads by hundreds, is dropping out.

You have Trump and his supporters on one side and everyone else on the other.

Vote Cruz. Hillary thanks you.

[full disclosure - Cruz supporter]

Why would Trump drop out? He is the front runner.

Trump is clearly the least committed of all the candidates

Trump will get over 1237 delegates. Live with it.

_____________________________________________

Even IF he does; the GOP-e will still steal the nomination away from him. Live with it.

They should have waited to publish this until just before the New York primary so that Cruz could get Trump’s votes.

Absolutely agree. The Trump supporters should pray someone gets him on Ritalin, soon.

(The sound you hear is of Trumpists heads exploding.)

I keep wondering what could be more childish than Trump's reactive statement about losing WI yesterday. But then, the anti-Trumpers come to my rescue by showing they are far more bitter and deranged than Trump could ever be, and it makes me feel better about supporting him. Thank you :-).

After NY, sCruz will have to win about 90% of the remaining delegates.

Its much worse than that for uncle Ted. He will be mathematically eliminated after the NY primary.
