It's Over; Trump Is Going To Be The Republican Nominee
CNN ^ | 02/24/2016 | Mel Robbins

That leaves Rubio and Cruz. Neither one of them can beat Clinton, or Trump for that matter. Yes, Cruz captured Iowa, but he is too scary for moderate Republicans and independents. And the GOP "establishment" can hope that with Jeb gone, Rubio will scoop up enough non-Trump votes to cruise to a victory, but that's not happening either. After Cruz and Trump grab their share of the undecided, there won't be enough left to give Rubio the bump he needs to pass Trump.

Last summer, I gave you five reasons why so many Americans loved Trump and why he would go the distance. Notice, four of the five points cemented his path to the Republican nomination. At the time, the seasoned political commentators and pundits just rolled their eyes at me. Now they're predicting a win.

1. He's real.

2. He doesn't care what you think.

3. Many Americans hate Washington.

4. It's early (null).

5. You want to see him debate.

This is 100 percent how it will turn out.

Trump is probably the most vetted candidate in our history. He’s had every small detail of his life splashed in tabloids for over 30 years.

And enough people still love him and will vote for him to make him the next president.

The Democrats will go into the general with an empty quiver and Trump is only just beginning to lock and load on them.

Or, more likely, the demorats will go into the general with ammo that no one will care about.

I’m sure there’s a member of the pundit class who will trot it out again regarding the general election, despite the members of that class being so wrong about everything Trump that Ann Coulter had enough material for a column about their idiocy this week.

The guy has even higher negative numbers in the polls than Clinton. Can he get enough votes?

He's been getting the votes. Almost double the amount McCain had at this point in 2008.

It it was true that Trump had high negatives and nobody wanted to vote for him, then it would be Trump finishing third place in all these primaries.

He likes to point to polls. Well, the polls show high negatives. Despite Nevada Republican Hispanics, today’s polls show 82% of Hispanics disapprove of him, 74% disapprove of him strongly.
