That Super Tuesday delegate math is still looking awfully Trump-y
Hot Air ^ | February 28,2016 | JAZZ SHAW

Donald Trump is poised to grow his delegate lead over the Republican field with a strong showing on Super Tuesday.

The long-time GOP front-runner leads in the latest polls in eight of the 11 states that will vote on March 1, and he’s the only candidate who is competitive across-the-board.

Even worse for Trump’s rivals is that you must win at least 20 percent of the vote to get any delegates in the four states with the largest prizes.

The latest polls showed Marco Rubio, John Kasich and Ben Carson are below the threshold in all four of those states, while Ted Cruz is below the threshold in three of them.

Go Trump. You are the only one that has a chance to storm into the temple and turn over the tables of the money changers.

Just hope and pray Trump is who he sayz he is. I've seen his type of personality many times through the years.

Throw anything out to see what sticks. Throw mama from the train in order to get one rung up on the latter.

Hate to be so cynical, but something in my gut tells me Trump's not what he appears to be.

Love what he sayz, just not how he sayz it. Love what he sayz, but seems lacking meat in which to grab hold of.

I learn more of Trump by looking at his past, even up till a few years ago than I do with what he is saying currently. He seems unable to articulate his positions, rather he uses short lil catch phrases and when called on it...he immediately begins insulting others like a school kid.

I dunno y'all, not that I'm totally against Trump, cause he'd be better than Obama, but heck, Benny Hill would be a better president than Obama.

Lmao. That reminds me; the theme instrumental that played during many Benny Hill skits was a sped up rendition of the song Gimme Dat Ding by The Pipkins.

That's true, and Trump has a record, although many here don't want to look at it.

In his book, "The Art of the Deal" he insists that once something is sold, the seller must deliver on his promises.

He has a 40 year record of delivering on his promises, and often ahead of schedule and under budget. And he has $10 billion to prove it.

And yet many want to claim that suddenly he is going to change course and stop delivering.

Do you think Trump will damage the country if he’s elected president? Like Obama has.

What do you think Cruz or Rubio will be like if they are elected?

What we need right now is someone strong who can fight off the forces that are stealing our country from us, ruining what we had here, turning us into slaves who work to give handouts to the world.

It’s clear to me that Trump is the only one who can handle that. The others are just lightweight politicians. All talk. No action. Ever.

I'm not arguing his success. Heck, I'd say most would enjoy success as well after inheriting a $200 million dollar corporation/estate. That's kind of a given.

Most Trump supporters buy into the notion he borrowed one million dollars and turned it into ten billion. I'm not at all convinced he’z worth 10 billion. Will see.

Fact is, the boy was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. What he built, he built with old money. Argue if you will, but that's just the skinny of it.

All this sophomoric bloviating/borderline narcissism ain't gonna go very far when elected if he continues treating folks in kind as president.

Most are glued to the tele, watching every Trump move. What they don't see or realize, there is and has been a movement among the republican elites to circumvent a Trump nomination. Trump's playing in their sandbox, not his own. The republican establishment will not go down without a fight. Trump plays by his own rules, in his own kingdom. The Donald's not in his own sandbox and he will find he’z about to come up against a storm of opposition. There is allot of power, position, influence and money in D.C. and Ol McDonald's pissed’m all off.

If Trump gets his feelings hurt once again, it's possible (without thinking it through) he will jump 3rd party and run as an independent. Shah-wing, president Hillary and first man pervert Billy.

Pot...kettle...black.

I love what Trump is saying, not necessarily how he’z sayin it. For some odd reason, my gut is telling me, Trump is not who he sayz he is.

I pray for a leader that will restore our nation. I hope and pray I am wrong.

I guess you don’t believe Trump.

No problem for me.

You can save time by skipping the rest of this post.

+++

I’m including it for those who may be on the fence, something I wrongly assumed you were, or I wouldn’t have wasted my time posting what I did earlier.

But, the fact is he did say he didn’t get $200 million, but his father did loan him $1 million.

The $200 million is what his father left the 5 children, so Trump inherited about $40 million. At that time of inheriting he was worth several hundred million already having earned that using that $1 million loan as seed money.

As far as whether he’s worth $20 billion, we don’t have to use the phrase ‘we’ll see’. The papers showing his worth were filed last summer, so we already have seen that.

Or you could be 100% wrong! That is very possible too.

I understand that many people feel that Trump sounds too good to be true. So they just can’t get behind him fully because they don’t want to be taken for a fool. But we have to get behind this man because he is our only hope and we do not have the luxury at this late stage to be concerned about how we will look if we are fooled. Get on board FRIEND and help us convince more fence sitters to do the same!

I will support Trump fully if he gets the nomination. That I will promise.

That said, Ted Cruz is my senator. He’z done what he has promised to do for the citizens of Texas. It's just that simple. I'm not saying it to blindly support the home town guy. He truly has fulfilled his promises up to this point and pissed off the establishment to boot. Love it.

All this rhetoric flying about labeling Cruz as a shyster, a liar is just false. Cruz is a good guy, a solid Christian and conservative to the bone.

May the best man win on Super Tuesday. This is Cruz's last stand. He fails to win support outside of Texas, he’z done.

Positive note, we still have him fighting for Texans in the U.S. Senate. Still, a good thing.

Trump or Cruz...Trump and Cruz 2016

All good! Cruz is a good man but he just didn’t realize how far he needed to go. So Trump swooped in and sucked all the oxygen out with his “building a wall” talk. Then he followed that with equally or more stunning plans like “no more Muslims until we figure out what is going on” and more.

Same goes for Rand Paul. Both guys took the safe position. To their own detriment. We are tired of safe. We are done with holding back. We are all infor Trump!
