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.

Trump - KLinton debate will top 50 million viewers and be an historical event unto itself.
Why would anyone expect a Free Traitor™ to vote for an American Patriot? You didn't even need to tell us, we knew.
Traitors love to brag.
On the issues that are most important to the future of America, Trump is far and away the most conservative candidate there is.
scoundrels are those that can’t distinguish between capitalist and isolationists intent on destroying American business.
To flaunt the label traitor is very offensive. You should be banned
You voting for Trump in the general if it is Clinton vs Trump?
That is irrelevant...... to attack in the manner you did is inexcuseable
“Because CNN and MSNBC are the new voices of ‘conservatism’…meh.”
News reporting should be fair, not spun from either side. CNN has done a fantastic job this whole primary cycle. FOX Biz has also done a commendable job.
It’s true, Trump is unstoppable now.
The Beast won’t have 70% unfavorables
I agree the limitations on government need to be rebuilt. They have been eroding for a long time and scholarly conservative leaders are desperately needed to repair the damage.
I think politicians and activist judges have long been chipping away at the the limitations that were intended to constrain them. They do it to justify and accommodate their liberal ideas of social justice - wealth redistribution and a misguided ideal of fairness and equality. I think some of them also do it to enrich themselves along the way.
I just think the first step is to get the liberals out of power return some sanity to the economic and foreign policy. The conservative movement has so far failed at this - even Reagan. Think of it as a war time president, hopefully to be followed by peace time presidents who will address the longer term issue of limited government.
“The detractors can say what they want to justify their view, but in the end they are leftist supporters.”
More like ‘enablers’...and I’ve changed my tag line to that effect. I do think the vast majority of (non-newbies) here that have problems with Trump are good conservatives, but are in such a hurry to reverse the direction of the country, they don’t bother to think whether their candidate (i.e., Cruz) can even win in November (hint, he can’t, he can’t even come close to winning). But they still dream of him winning and cannot get that out of their heads.
Possiable.. history shows the rats go home and vote for their own. But trump has thus far turned history over on its head.
And at that point i am suppose to foeget all his previous attacks and support of the left?
Sorry.. i am old but my memory is not that short.
Posion or bullet. End result is the same.
Nope. They sill stay home. Vote nota or third party.
So was the last 2...
After the primaries wind down, you can either support Trump or support Hillary;
Or nota..
That is not a vote for either.
This is like arguing with liberals. Their primary weapon is ad-hominem.
I’m embarrassed for Free republic.
