As always, if you wish to win your opponent to your side, you do not gloat. It is crucial for a win in November over the Clinton/Media machine that Trump supporters ask non-supporters to take that gamble on Trump that these voters would think it to be.

It is certainly a better gamble than to gamble on Clinton. We know what she will do.

We also MUST united around the Senate campaign. One of the worst scenarios is a Trump win and a senate loss. Why? Because the new senate will be seated BEFORE the change of presidents. In that almost 3 week period, Obama could approve a new SCOTUS justice with the democrats moving quickly to the nuclear option. They won’t really care about the implications.

So, reality is that neither Ted Cruz nor John Kasich have any mathematical shot at victory.

Can they fight for a brokered convention? Sure. But it will so divide the anti-Clinton forces that it will throw the Senate to the democrats who have a huge advantage this year in terms of seats up for election.

To Cruz supporters, this is a heartfelt request. Become an anti-Clinton supporter. Stand aside the in Indiana and elsewhere so we can unite the anti-Clinton alliance.

Stand aside so we can unite the anti-liberal SCOTUS forces.

Cruz and Kasich need a new angle.

How about having Bishop Willard Romney
marrying them on the Internet.
A TRUE co-Presidency.

No. And Hillary is praying to St. Jude.

To answer the question directly, NO.

I think Kasich made it quite evident that it is a Cruz hail Mary and that while verbally agreed upon, not so much in reality. Kasich wants as many delegates as he can get going into Cleveland.

Curiosity got the better of me so I turned on Glenn Beck to hear how he would cover "The Sweep."

After the obligatory Trump-bashing he was on to opining about Hillary and her possible running mate and how Trump would stand no chance against Hilliary and Fauxcahontas Warren.

After Trump's sweep, does Cruz-Kasich Hail Mary have a prayer?

Almost certainly not. It won't be over until Trump hits the 1237 mark but at this stage the chances of him not reaching that before the convention are incredibly slim.

Yes, Cruz will win Indian and deprive Trump of the necessary 1237 delegates necessary to win the nomination.

Cruz will then win the nomination on the second ballot.

One of my hobbies is looking for bigger picture meaning in the small events, themes and details of our day to day.

Election 2016, with its many characters, plans and motives and all being played out against the backdrop of sights and sounds the obama vacation from reality tour has taken US on, has been a rich bounty to think through.

This season's Cruz character, his rise and fall, along with the many who bet it all on him and then acted accordingly, has been an important teaching event showcasing a variety lessons, with more still to come.

It's going to require some thought to go through it all and then piece it together with past seasons.

What a time to be alive! What a time not to be dead...

Looks like even Fox News is seeing the handwriting on the wall.

Per thegreenpapers.com,

Trump had 956 ‘hard’ delegates. He needs 281 of the remaining 508 to reach 1237.

Cruz has 547 ‘hard delegates. He needs 690 but only 508 remain.

Trump has 409 more than Cruz.

There are 118 uncommitted. Rubio holds on to 173. Kasich has 154.

Even a ‘hail Mary’ would not probably help Cruz or Kasich.

Kasich is dancing on crumbling ground. Kasich wants to be VP, but his continued obstinance is not helping him. Cruz has already hinted at Fiorina as his VP. Trump may have more than enough delegates to not need Kasich’s. Kasich could find himself back in Ohio.

The two stooges have now stayed past their expiration date and will soon be stinking up the joint.

No, not a prayer at all. It's over.
