Name states he may lose? Texas, ———— any others? How about Nevada? He is getting so strong — he may even win Texas.

Just that your entire reason for being here recently has been to non-stop advocate for Ted Cruz, who didn’t win there.

Trump did win there. Convincingly.

You're really grasping at straws.

Hmmmm...interesting. I’m not half as worried as to why people like Trump as why Bernie Sanders is winning :(

No one has been the republican nominee without winning SC.

I see you don’t respond to my comments. Yes I speak English now typing is a different matter all to gather.

You know I didn’t write this, don’t you?

No, but you post it non-stop. You, yourself, consume about 20% of FR bandwidth.

They say Trump has a ceiling.

I agree. It’s in the Oval Office.

” But his thesis is flawed if he believes the non-Trump field is remaining static, given that Bush has quit and Rubio can only be propped up for so long.”

I always assumed that Bushites would go over to Rubio as soon as Bush dropped out of the race. I always remember that Clinton’s campaign has been saying all along that they think Rubio will be the nominee.

I think Cruz (my favorite) will fade. Rubio will appear more reasonable than Trump and gain the support of most of the other candidates who drop out since they probably hate Trump.

What happens when Trump again wipes the floor with his competitors in Nevada? From the polls I’ve seen, Trump is leading in 10 out of the 12 Super Tuesday states, and TX and AR where Cruz leads, the lead is only a 4 or 5 points. If he goes into Super Tuesday having had big wins in NH, SC, and NV the bandwagon effect could very well start kicking in. People may vote for the guy who is winning instead of the guys who always come in 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th.

No I don’t. And even if I did, you ain’t the owner, so what’s it to you?

If Trump decides to go Independent, these delegates might not be required to go his way.

I am more confident about 20 points but that is so huge.

Romney was the exception.

John Hudak’s right the GOP establishment only hope of stopping Trump is a brokered convention.

But if they deprive front-runner Trump of his prize, millions of voters will sit it out in November.

Hillary would win and that’s just fine with them. They can work with her.

Rubio? A man who has yet to win even one state?
