Donald Trump is two for two with teleprompter-ed speeches. That is, he is batting 1000 with remarks that are carefully prepared and delivered. So for his sake, he should keep it up. And if he does, he can win the Republican nomination in July and the general election in November—by carrying 40 states.
Trump’s speech today to the Center for the National Interest (CFTNI), an old-line “realist” think tank in DC, was well received. CFTNI was once known as the Nixon Center, as in, the 37th president, and it still includes on its board such legendary Nixon foreign-policy hands as Henry Kissinger.
Not surprisingly, Trump’s hard-nosed policy ideas were a tonic to grizzled Nixonian realpolitikers. Yet at the same time, his ideas were cheering to a younger generation, weary of the endless wars-for-democracy of the Bush 43 administration, as well as the foolishly sovereignty-smiting policies of the Clinton and Obama administrations.
Indeed, in choosing to speak before CFTNI, as opposed to, say, AEI or Heritage, Trump was sending a clear signal to the neocons who dominated the Bush 43 administration: Your days of costly nation-building are done. (And yet interestingly, Trump was introduced by Zalmay Khalilzad, Bush 43’s ambassador to the United Nations.)
So when Trump puts his mind to it, he can be not only entertaining but also effective. His CFTNI speech, on top of his March 21 speech to the America Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), proves that Trump can operate smoothly at the presidential level.
In his 38-minute address, Trump got right down to it: “It’s time to shake the rust off America’s foreign policy. It’s time to invite new voices and new visions into the fold, something we have to do.”

According to Red State, GOP has collected 24,000,000, while the Democrats have 21,000,000 during this primary season. That’s a 54-46 advantage. I see it expanding.
We have to factor in the male vote in this country that is not being accurately reported. A lot of men are saying “I don’t know anyone who will vote for that bi*** “ and they’re encouraging their women and female friends to be of that opinion too.
So you’re a Hillary fan as well as a Mike Trout fan?
Trout fan? Yes
Hillary fan? No
Please spare me the “you support Hillary” crap. I see things as they are. I believe taht 20 or 30 years ago, she has no chance. But this is a dumbed down nation now and she will be tough to beat because at least 48% of the population will vote for just because she is a Democrat. Her corruption and lies don’t matter to them.
If we, or Trump, takes her lightly, she will win.
If so, you are out of your mind!
It is Teddy Cruz, who is most like Obama, in almost every way possible !
So stop trashing Trump, who is our presumptive nominee; not Teddy the LOSER!
If that's the a guesstimate of Trump V. Hillary, it is SO damned wrong, it's laughable and YOU are a moron and a TROLL!
Trump will take Florida, Pa., and surprise, surprise, N.Y and N.J.! He just may take some of the New England states as well.
If that's all you have to worry about, it's going to be an excellent year.
He won’t take KaSICKO, who has a closet FILLED TO THE BRIM with nasty skeletons!
Yes, Va. is lost, but Florida and Ohio are Trump's.
Just WHERE are you getting the crap, you posted, from, anyway?
Your hatred of Trump has blinded you to reality. I suggest that you wake up n00b and stop posting utter bilge.
He just may surprise a lot of people and get N.Y., Ct., and a few other usually BLUE states as well.
Oh you mean the Trump nay-sayers have been wrong about im again and again and again and again and again? Hmmm, ok...well what is that the map is showing? Hillary automatically starts one electoral vote from victory...oh, Ok, let me take this seriously.
Where do you get your news from....Rush, Levin, National Review, REDSTATE, Cruz headquarters?
“Enormously trollish. Welcome to FR, since the beginning of the 2016 campaign - July 2015.”
Methinks you are right Eccl. Angels27 seems to have showed up at the beginning of the campaign for the express purpose of attacking Trump:
He posted: “The thought of 4 years of listening to this kind of garbage from Trump and his minions makes me ill.”
And now denigrating his supposed own candidate, Cruz:
“But he has since disappointed me to the point I don’t have confidence or trust in him anymore.”
What better way to encourage Hillary supporters and demoralize Republicans than to put down all the Republicans running while posting graphics showing why a Hillary win is 100% certain.
Anyone who saw his earlier excellent speech at AIPAC...
Vote Trump
That poster is absolutely a damned troll!

speaking of trolls. Trump the troll is playing the poorly educated for a bunch of fools.
taken out of context.
but lying and stealing is ok with Cruz and his supporters.
Your idea that Hillary has all those states “in the bag” is just silly. She might win them, but nowhere close to that many states are cinches at this point.
Trump needs all three of Ohio, Florida and Virginia and then one additional one out of several other “Clinton” states including New Hampshire, Colorado, Nevada or Iowa. If Trump picks off a Michigan or Pennsylvania, Hillary has zero chance of winning.
Very tough sledding for Trump, but possible.
NH and PA are swing states and Trump will win them.
