TRUMP TRIES OUT FOR NEW ROLE: PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE

The Republican nominating process has evolved for a moment just such as this: helping a damaged frontrunner stave off a challenge from a conservative insurgent and avoiding the threat of a chaotic convention.

What nobody knew was that the frontrunner this year would be Donald Trump.

And as Trump showed both in his remarks after his resounding victory in his home state and the promise of big money for the Republican consultant class, he is willing to try to play the part that was written for another player: Mr. Inevitability.

Newt Gingrich just did a live feed broadcast from his Facebook while in Germany and said that as of NOW Trump IS the presumptive nominee and that by the time he hits California he will already have the 1237 he needs!!!!

Office of the PN...

[Crimson Elephant]

I think we can all start arguing about VP choices now.

I’ll start.

Vince McMahon.

NCIH

[GilGil]

Is he related to Ed McMahon?

[TexasFreeper2009]

I would prefer either Walker or Gingrich, maybe Christie is there is any polling that he could deliver New Jersey.

[GilGil]

New Fox poll out today shows Trump surging towards 50% and beyond.

[GilGil]

Trump polling at 52% in New Jersey.Also see post #6.

Who helped help him write this nonsense?
MEgyn or Alan Colmes?

[Grams A]

I second your nomination of McMahon. Hopefully there will not be as much venom spew among folks on this site on this issue.

Won't matter who vp pick is...unless miracle occurs, will vote but will skip prez box ... advise TRUE conservatives to follow suit, especially those not living in purple states.

Given the electoral nature state by state breakdown of the POTUS vote, your FREEPER vote won't matter in solidly red and solidly blue states. If Trump proves to be the nominee, start eroding the pick that amoral and immoral libertarians and others are foisting upon us

[Scott from the Left Coast]

I think he should be focusing on someone in the Great Lakes region (expanded a bit to include Pennsylvania) - it is where he can make serious inroads into Democrat territory because of the tremendous economic malaise in that region.

[SoothingDave]

With the emphasis on “presume.”

Pennsylvania borders Lake Erie.

[DoodleDawg]

First, that Trump can behave himself...

Does anyone really believe that?

[Ciexyz]

The heir presumptive is what they called Queen Elizabeth II before she assumed the throne.

[Harpotoo]

Presumptive my arse, just Nominee!-)

Go Trump Go!

Thank you for your support of the destruction of our country. The Democrats are proud of you.

Trump/Gingrich...my dream ticket. Two wizened older men that would make sound judgments and reawaken fear in our adversaries.. Away with the fop and the yapping whippersnappers!
