Donald Trump won some outstanding victories on Tuesday night, solidifying his lead. He saw off two competitors while humiliating a third. From Nevada to Michigan and from Massachusetts to Mississippi, The Donald is the only candidate with a national following that translates into victories that are as consistent as they are deep. He is on track to be nominee.
The evolving narrative of "Trump can be beaten" is getting a little tired.
First, we were told that he'd lose when the field narrowed. Then that Marco Rubio could defeat him with sarcasm. Next that his delegate totals could be chipped away by a coalition of anti-Trump forces working in separate states.
Strange alliances were formed. Lindsey Graham, who once joked that a jury of senators wouldn't convict a man for killing Ted Cruz, announced that "Ted and I are in the same party, Donald Trump is an interloper."
The GOP is thus fighting to win its own primary. But while the prospect of a brokered convention remains a real one, Tuesday made it look less likely.
Cruz, for instance, entered Mississippi enjoying the governor's endorsement and signs of a late surge in the Louisiana primary next door, but the bounce failed to materialize. Exit polls suggest that eight out of 10 voters described themselves as evangelical or born again.
Cruz won those who said religion determined their vote; Trump won those who put other factors first. Cruz swept those described as "very conservative"; Trump did better among the less ideological. Cruz has won the most contests against The Donald, but usually only in caucuses and with the support of a narrow band of philosophical fellow travelers.

“Trump is going to crush Hillary”
Exçept Hillary, completely crushable, won’t be the nominee. If she can’t beat Sanders in Michigan, she has to be replaced and she will be.
Brilliant! All have great expressions. Thanks
What freaks me is the FReepers who have exposed themselves!
How can you take someone seriously when you watch "Schindler's List" with them, and all they come away from it with is "HE WAS A NAZI!"
You are darn lucky we don’t kick you off our trump threads like you losers do on Cruz threads all the time. You guys are the worst. But trump won the nomination tonight. No way Cruz does well next week. He’s done. Glad to get rid of him.

Great image!
Did you do that?
Love it, but you forgot Trump auto-firing dual-citizen Ted “Blue Jay” Cruz
Put down that crack pipe boy!
This is a forecast that will give you pause because of the number of times it's been CORRECT since 1912.
The ONLY time this forecast, has been incorrect when applied, was ONCE, which was in 1960.
This is a PROFOUND PREDICTION
Political science professor forecasts Trump as general election winner
The Statesman | February 23, 2016 | Christopher Cameron
Professor Helmut Norpoth's forecast presentation took place Monday evening in the SUNY Global Center in Manhattan, which was organized by the Stony Brook Alumni Association.
Norpoth created a statistical model of presidential elections that uses a candidate's performance in their party's primary and patterns in the electoral cycle as predictors of the presidential vote in the general election.
Donald Trump has a 97 percent chance of defeating Hillary Clinton and a 99 percent chance of defeating Bernie Sanders in the general election, according to Norpoth's formula.
"The bottom line is that the primary model, using also the cyclical movement, makes it almost certain that Donald Trump will be the next president," Norpoth said, "if he's a nominee of the [Republican] party."
Norpoth's primary model works for every presidential election since 1912, with the notable exception of the 1960 election. These results give the model an accuracy of 96.1 percent.

Oh gee....that brings back memories!
The clintons have had one very cozy relationship with China.
Thank you.
I believe she'll be allowed to be indicted by Obozo and when the Dem convention happens they will hold a brokered convention and screw Bernie by wheeling out Joe Biden to run.
Your crystal ball is cracked.
LOL!
Thanks for the ping ! :-)
Hilarious!
Cruz doesn't have a pathway to keep Trump from getting 1237.
