The timing is suspicious. After each primary the state campaign shuts down within hours. Real people keep talking up their candidate even after their state votes. A paid Iowa caucus campaign troll would match the pattern you observed.
That pattern is a pretty good filter for spotting trolls.
Thanks MaxFlint. I have to agree on that one.
I have maintained all along that Trump will have to win 50% in some election in order to win the Republican nomination.
If he gets 50% of the primary votes, he is going to get to 1237, no matter what.
If he can string together a series of 50%+ wins in a bunch of primary states, particularly as the process moves into the final months, he will get to 1237.
If he can’t get to 1237 through the primary process, then he would have to get to 1237 at the convention. This has always been the most problematic of the three for Trump, since he is such a party outsider. It is my opinion that if Trump is not at 1237 on the first ballot, he will not get there on any subsequent ballot.
So for Trump to win the nomination, he has to start stringing together a series of 50%+ victories in the primaries. Since New York, he has been doing just that. If this trend continues, he will go into Cleveland with 1237 delegates, he will be the Republican nominee, and I will support him.
Trump was not my first choice. But if he is the choice of the Republican Party, then he is my guy.
Of course, I would vote for a dead dog in the street before I cast a vote for Hillary Clinton.
