Mayhaps pundits are now figuring out just what side of the bread their future butter may be on.

I want the FBI to be diligent in their investigations into all possible conspiracies to commit voter and election fraud before there is any smoking gun.

Looks like America wants to hire Trump, all others can go home.

I can picture the Statue of Liberty, she says to Trump, You’re hired!

What help Trump more than his win is how other lost. If Rubio would have done well in the “establishment lane” this would have been a three person race. Now it is clearly for the next few weeks Trump, Cruz and Bush/Rubio/Kasich. Establishment may not get off the ground at this rate.

It must be humiliating for Weekly Standard publisher Bill Kristol to have to put this out after Kristol famously opined last week Trump would finish 3rd in NH.

Now the neo-cons are admitting what the rest of us have known since last summer: Trump will be the nominee. I can’t imagine what it cost poor Fred Barnes to come to terms with reality.

The Weekly Standard crowd really wanted Marco Rubio but he crashed and burned in New Hampshire. There’s no one obvious for them to rally around and Trump is not their favorite.

Some of the high-IQ, well-educated people in my social media networks are saying how “unimaginably bad” Trump is. (To their credit, they say the same about Sanders.)

This EQUALLY well-educated, high-IQ person supports Trump! The difference is that I am an Orthodox Christian, and refuse to vote for an anti-Serb, anti-Russian candidate who is a thrall of the banksters.

Since going to war with Russia is suicide, I’ll bet that some of my colleagues will soon figure out that Trump is the ONLY goos choice, no matter how “culturally incorrect” he is!!!! Then there are other issues, like the barbarian invasions we are being subjected to, and the true nature of political islam.

GO, TRUMP!!!!

It’s nice to see the Weekly Standard has moved on to the acceptance phase in their grief. LOL

I always liked Fred, not surprised that he’s smelling the roses first out of that bunch.

from the article:

Given the headwind he faced, Rubio did well to wind up fifth in New Hampshire.

-Just silly !

As to Jeb! thinking New Hampshire “reset the race”: how pathetic is he that he’s got to have mommy campaign for him. No teen running for student council president would be caught dead having mommy give speeches. Just Pathetic.

What I seen in last night victory to Trump and all of us supporters was very blaring...Sanders....

We have to make sure that Trump is the Victor for the Republican Party to take Sanders out...it shocked me with Sanders last night with his ‘fund’ raising speech, I haven’t had the desire to listen to him before, what the ‘snowflakes’ see in him is everything is ‘free’ and that is what the colleges are teaching them...

We cannot ever let this socialist or communist rule this Great Nation, so we need to make sure that Trump continues on in the war to get him in the Oval Office...

Hillary is done for, whether she will ever be charged with any crime is a mystery, but we need to get rid of the Clintons and keep them away from our Government...

It’s not over yet. Although Iowa was a tainted election, it still is in Cruz’s column. Had Trump won both Iowa outright and then this grand slam in New Hampshire, it would be pretty well over.

But NH left Bush, Rubio, Kasich, and Christie with a combined total of about 41%.

Those supporters will go to the one of the four remaining and not to Trump or Cruz is my opinion. The anger between Cruz and Trump might prevent their supporters from going to the other.

In that case, a 3 way race between Trump/Cruz/Unity Establishment Candidate (Probably Bush or Rubio), the game is on.

Trump or Cruz needs to find a way to reach out to those supporters OR they need to form a coalition.

One or the other.

Fred coming to grips with the reality of what the average American voter is thinking and feeling.

The money quote: " If Jeb Bush is still running when the Florida primary occurs on March 15, he'll split the establishment vote with Marco Rubio. And Trump will win Florida. A similar situation will exist in Ohio if Kasich, the state's governor, hangs around. Kasich and Rubio and maybe Bush will form a circular firing squad. Should Trump win both states, the race is over."

Yeah, that's the ticket. Have the GOPe fight it out. And if Trump can preempt the GOP planned Convention shenanigans, it may be a done deal.

Something I haven't seen addressed is, just as in Nov, 14, how much of the Trump vote was a Vote Against Obama and all that he stands for.

All demographic American Rage at GOPe, Obama and Congress = Victory!

Freddie “The Beetle” Barnes is right on this one. A crowded field is Trump’s best friend. I hope K-sick and Bush stick around at least til the SEC.

Every Republican candidate who finished first and second in Iowa and New Hampshire has won the presidential nomination.

I don’t get it. Trump finished 1st in IA and 2nd in NH.

Whoever wins South Carolina will jump way out in front because the winner gets 29 of the 50 delegates PLUS a percentage of the remaining 21. Since Trump is already ahead in delegates by like 18 to 9 over Cruz....T could end up with 50 or more delegates and the next guy would be at maybe 15.

Leading 50 to 15 going into Nevada which is proportional and then Mega March with more and more .....Alabama Oklahoma Tennesse and Texas have semi-WinnerTakeAll set ups on March 1st. If Cruz doesn’t win Texas, he is toast and so it the GOPe, and even then it might just prolong the agony.
