A gnashing of teeth and a slashing of wrists.

I'm so sick of the agony. After what Obama and Clinton wrought, these people apparently think a billionaire with an America-loving populist message is the devil himself. Pathetic.

It’s the AP and they’re pivoting to the general election and trying to divide the GOP ahead of time.

The liberal media is not our friend. They cannot be trusted.

Ever.

It’s the people who are driving this...admittedly with trump tying directly into their frustration because he sees it and understands it.

The highest ever GOP Primary Presidential primary tally was GW Bush with 10.8 million votes. Trump is already very close to that and is likely to end up with something like 14 million votes.

This is going to be historical and the turnout he is generating is absolutely scaring the bejeevies out of the Dems...as well it should.

If the GOPe doesn’t want to get onboard with that....good riddance.

trump is likely to bring in three voters for every one who goes that path.

Some FReeper smartly compared the constitutionally undefined GOPe with dinosaurs and tar pits the other day. And I agree.

“The long and chaotic Republican primary”

Hint to author - the rat primary will be longer, and a whole lot more chaotic.

Looking at pledged delegates, Bernie trails Hillary 1,417 vs 1,701...states won is 17 vs 23...

and I suspect Bernie will keep catching up.

Eisenhower had never held political office before his run either, but he had a bunch of political insiders pushing his candidacy.

Trump did it all himself.

Trump's open path to nomination causes agony for some in GOP

Good, I like the idea of agony for "some in GOP".

He has done far more damage to the GOPe and RNC than to Conservatism - his Presidency may well open the door for a Cruz in the very near future.

All eyes on Hillary - she's the enemy that needs to be taken down this season.
