Game over! This was a rout, America. Winning seven states and the vast majority of delegates is a landslide. Donald Trump and the millions of his supporters have changed American politics and the Republican Party for the foreseeable future.
The nomination is within his grasp and if he does what he said he would do Tuesday night: "[I will] be a unifier!" he may be a very viable candidate against Hillary Clinton in the fall.
After his victories Tuesday night in multiple states and his second place finish in others , Trump is in an unstoppable position. Whether the junior senators from Texas and Florida choose to pursue him, it doesnt matter, the end is near.
Trump, who is an unconventional candidate, to say the least, has tapped into the anger and frustration across America and has mobilized voters to turn out in record numbers.
Love him or hate him, be inspired by him or be appalled by him, Trump has totally dominated a political cycle like no other politician Ive seen in decades.
I admit I was a total skeptic, like many others.
At first, I didnt think he would run.
Then I thought there was no way he could beat the all-star cast of elected officials running against him.
Then I underestimated his lack of substance and trite answers in the debates.
Then I was convinced the political establishment was going to spend millions and take him out. And like the Energizer bunny he just keeps going and winning!
Trump is getting stronger by the day and his supporters are locked in and not going away. And no one has mastered the media like this since Teddy Roosevelt and his rough riders.
What's ahead is a Republican Party that either becomes part of his movement or splinters

NOTE TO YOUR IDIOTIC MIND: Hitler is not under your bed!
BS
don’t drink any more kolade
It is interesting as Trump now has won the firewall.
Rubio is toast, but hey let him stay in and let the establishment suffer more losses.
Ted , well I ma not sure what ground game he has now.
TX, is his home state and could not win 50%. He has lost most of the south.
He did get AK and neighboring OK, but where to next for him?
I’m not sure. FL my state won’t be going for him and that is winner takes all. Maybe he has a chance in MO, but where now.
Voters are flooding in to vote where as the Dems are down which is good news and yet the party , the elitist establishment who stated they wanted more voters and appeal are not happy.
For them to not be happy tells me they never wanted more voters or appeal. They want their open borders under the direction of the Club for Growth and the Chamber of Commerce, and it makes me sick.
I have no desire to argue about this or that candidate.
My question stands: What would Trump have to do, for you to stop supporting him?
If you can’t think of anything that would get you to stop supporting him, it says something about YOU, and that is what I am getting at.
No candidate can single-handedly destroy this nation. Only the PEOPLE of this nation can destroy it. And if we’ve given up on accountability, then WE have destroyed the nation. We’ve watched the GOPe do terrible things and we were powerless to stop it. Now there is great rejoicing because Trump is “unstoppable”.
Does nobody see the irony in that? Obama was an unstoppable locomotive so we’re going to put in another unstoppable locomotive, because we’re mad that the system didn’t allow us any brakes to be able to stop a POTUS?
Think, people. That’s all I ask.
Texas?
At least Trump did not go out of his way to insult the North East
New York is in play for the general election, tons of Electoral votes there. Plus the dims would have to spend a pile of money on the very expensive New York media market.
New Jersey is in play as well, same media market as New York
PA is in play
Again, all three states are electoral vote rich states
Clinton thanks you, well done.
Latest talk is GOP is pushing KKK story to cause Trump to lose to Hillary in the general and wait until 2020 to run against her with GOP approved stooge.
What you see in Trump is YOUR opinion we don’t see it your way!!! Be SCARED to death ALL you want, to we frankly don’t believe your guy can win the general and frankly we are scared to death of him and his preachingto us CONSTANTLY!!!!!
I put on my tinfoil hat after that post
I'm only leaning toward Trump. But to answer your question, the problem with your question is that Trump has a fairly long lifetime of success (with some failures) against which to measure something he says or does recently. He has been followed extensively by the press through most of his life, he has survived attacks against him and his projects, he has been sued and has sued. Unlike other politicians who wear masks all their lives, no one truly believes Trump is wearing a mask.
So those new disclosures and out of context comments that have spelled death for other candidates do not have same affect on me and I assume on others. Simply, we know who he is. When someone comes to support him they know him warts and all and have accepted him with his flaws. So that is why there is nothing he can say or do currently that will change his supporters.
My issue with Trump and the reason I hesitate to get on board is he is first and foremost a promoter. As such, I am weary about his motives. As the days go by and as he goes through each trial, I'm less likely to believe that someone will go through what he is going through unless he truly believes he wants to make America great.
:: Both are liars, both are self-important, both are unpredictable, both are liberals, both favor universal health care, both are panderers, both are sel-seeking narcissists, both use their positions of power to overwhelm their enemies, both use money to do it ::
Yet, only one of them committed “actionable” TREASON on 2 fronts; Benghazi and the Mail-server.
Under no circumstances should Trump go to the Fox ambush tomorrow night. If you thought CNN’s tag team from lying Cruz and little marco was bad you ain’t seen nothing yet if Trump steps foot on that stage tomorrow night with the bitch Megyn Kelly calling the shots.
So as long as he doesn’t have a Canadian birth certificate you’re good with EVERYTHING about this country being negotiable? (His words, not mine)
Your screen name says it ALL!!!!
I’m just calling things like I see them. Which is a far cry from saying I like the things that I see.

Trump has now won 11 states and come second in all , except MN I believe , but stand to be corrected.

That bridge is already blown, IMO. What's being fought over is who gets the biggest piece of the wreckage.
I missed that. He took a direct slap at Ryno and I missed it? Does anyone have a link?
