"Son, that there is our objective! We should be across the Potomac by January"

Throughout the Republican Party, from New Hampshire to Florida to California, many leaders, operatives, donors and activists arrived this week at the conclusion they had been hoping to thwart or at least delay: Donald Trump will be their presidential nominee.
An aura of inevitability is now forming around the controversial mogul. Trump smothered his opponents in six straight primaries in the Northeast and vacuumed up more delegates than even the most generous predictions foresaw. He is gaining high-profile endorsements by the day — a legendary Indiana basketball coach Wednesday, two House committee chairmen Thursday. And his rivals, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, are making the kind of rushed tactical moves that signal desperation.
The party is at a turning point. Republican stalwarts opposed to Trump remain fearful of the damage the unconventional and unruly billionaire might inflict on the party’s down-ballot candidates in November. But many also now see him as the all-but-certain nominee and are exhausted by the prospect of a contested July convention, according to interviews this week with more than a dozen party figures from coast to coast.
“People are realizing that he’s the likely nominee,” said Tim Pawlenty, a former Minnesota governor and one-time endorser of Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida. “The hysteria has died down and the range of emotion is from resignation to enthusiasm.”
In Colorado — where Cruz outfoxed Trump in a series of clamorous meetings earlier this month to win all of the state’s 34 available delegates — former state party chairman Dick Wadhams said, “Fatigue is probably the perfect description of what people are feeling.”

You are delusional. Some of Trumps best friends are the GOPe. He and John Boehner’s (you know the guy most of the Freepers hated) have been playing golf together for years and they love to tweet with each other on Twitter.
Even on the world stage having a President who is a WINNER seems like it would be just what the country needs.
Donald Trump, the man who has turned GOP-e candidate Jeb “Guac Merchant” Bush into a suicidal mess, destroyed the future of GOP-e hack Rube-o, and had the GOP-e resort to endorsing Ted Cruz in a desperate attempt to survive... is GOP-e now? All because of some unsubstantiated claim that Trump played golf with Boehner?
This argument is so stupid, I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that you are an illegal immigrant being paid 5 cents a day by Cruz or the Democrats to s***post on the Internet. Sad!
Like I said, you are delusional.
