Trump, Cruz, Kasich, Clinton, Sanders: Analyzing Tuesday’s Results
Gingrich Productions ^ | 4/26/2016 | Newt Gingrich

Posted on 04/26/2016 4:46:05 PM PDT by GilGil

If this Tuesday is as good as last Tuesday for Trump, it is hard to see how he can be stopped.

Coming out of two consecutive Tuesdays with overwhelming victories, Trump will be able to make three powerful arguments.

First, he is simply going to have the delegates to win the nomination on the first ballot at GOP convention, so all the maneuvering over delegate selection and efforts to put in chameleon delegates who are bound to Trump but are really for another candidate will be irrelevant.

Second, no one else is consolidating votes as the alternative. The gap between Trump’s total popular vote and Cruz’s vote will make it untenable to suggest that Cruz has a greater legitimacy to be the nominee.

Finally, the continuing series of victories will create a bandwagon effect as people decide they want to be with the winner. Trump could easily enter the convention with 1,400 delegates or more as winning attracts those who were on the fence.

Not if Ted can steal delegates he won’t.

Tonight is a massacre.

Turn out the lights, the party’s over. Cruz has turned into a third place candidate. Wow, to finish behind a guy as bad as Kasich, who has won one state, means it’s time to leave, Ted.

at 8:02 pm Fox calls the 3 states for Trump

I suspect they didn't call the other 2 yet because they didn't do exit polls there.

And if Trump does win 1237 votes before California, my baby sister will be calling me, as she does every four years, complaining that by the time she gets to vote, it doesn’t matter. But, at least this time, she will be happy about it.

Don’t worry cuz Republicans are coalescing behind Ted Cruz campaign in droves! He is the only one who can beat Donald Trump! He is the only one endorsed by Lindsey Graham, Rick Perry, Jeb Bush! And now he is becoming a shapeshifter! Jed Karuz.

“Heard a clip of Rush saying that not nominating Trump would destroy the Republican party.”

Screw Rush, Levin, Turd Blossom Rove, Everyone at the Weekly Standard, Everyone at National Review, and Charlie Gasparlatrineo! I’m sure I missed dozens, but at least it’s a start. Kinda like George Carlin’s bit entitiled: “People Who Need to be Killed!”
