Trump: I'm Going For A 'Knockout' In Ohio, Florida
thehill.com ^ | March 09, 2016

Republican front-runner Donald Trump says he's trying to deliver a "knockout" in the upcoming Florida and Ohio primaries.

"It's like the fighters, that's the ultimate way of doing it," the presidential contender told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Wednesday. "You knock them out, if you knock them out, nothing can happen."

Trump said he believes he can get all of the delegates from the two winner-take-all states that vote on March 15. Florida has 99 delegates up for grabs, and Ohio 66.

"You want to go for a knockout?" Cooper asked.

"I'd rather go for a knockout," Trump responded.

Sweeping both states would make it harder for the billionaire's rivals to catch him in the delegate count.

Ted Cruz cannot do well with suburban Republicans outside the Plains and South. Cruz did well in the south?

Having ‘more’ is different from having a ‘majority’.
He has to stop Trump from getting to 1237 AND have more delegates than Trump.

Yeah, it’s a big task...

Jealous? Not hardly. Theft doesn’t impress me or create envy.

A lot of talk about Dem Op Chaos on FR, but a program like that has to have a lot of footprints. So far nobody has posted them.>>>

Sort of like the common claim of “paid posters”.
I’m still looking for one of those gravy jobs....
some stats i saw earlier were at 2% crossover. I think they ave their own race on the dem sie to settle. espcially this early unless the hillary crowd is causing the chaos. I don’t think they are that smart. My footprint is still there as i’m still registered dem here in philly, Until it looks like i might need to switc.

Cruz is going to knock him out in all five states! I predict Cruz wins Florida by at least 20%! ping for later

How did he steal it?

He bought the property from a bank because it was in foreclosure

I guess you are one of those liberals who believe the banks are out to victimize people and foreclosure is theft from the people who don’t pay their bills

Ok, gotcha

There is more to the story. It takes a special kind of evil to do what Trump did.

This just in: Levin formally endorses Ted Cruz

Levin has been endorsing Cruz for several months. He just hasn't said so.

Nobody’s talking about poor Rubio. A thread is dreadfully dull if no one’s talking Rubio.

You mean when he bought the property in front of the vineyard and posted the property so people would think he already owned it? The vineyard already had an access easement to go through that property. All he did was made the appearance that their might have been access issues (Trump owning the front parcel) and kept competing bidders from submitting bids to the bank

I guess you feel sorry for Bank of America. If no one was willing to research the property deeds, that is the problem for the bank and the other bidders, not Trump.

I bought property this way and got a smoking deal on a land track that everyone else thought was land locked.

Trump is just smart and got a great deal
