“Donald Trump’s campaign advisers believe the billionaire mogul is emerging as the “prohibitive favorite” in the Republican presidential race and project that he will accumulate more than 1,400 delegates to secure the nomination on the first round of balloting at the party’s Cleveland convention, according to an internal campaign memorandum.”

Well yes I know. Ran the numbers state-by-state a long time ago. Murdock Fox News prognostications, Lib Silver, and Cruzers are diluted.

I don’t know about 50 or 60 but at this point I think Trump does go in with more than 1237.

Newt Gingrich just did a live feed broadcast from his Facebook while in Germany and said that as of NOW Trump IS the presumptive nominee and that by the time he hits California he will already have the 1237 he needs!!!!

If this was Yeb!, they would already be saying it’s over.

They would have been saying that since early March.

I just said as much in another thread. Anything else is a smokescreen at this point. “It’s over, Johnny. Over!”

Good post, however the article incorrectly states that Trump is opposed to free trade. His position is that what we have now isn’t free trade, and he’s right.

“...no one wants to waste a vote on a loser”.

So are you saying you voted for Obama over Romney?
