When Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump declared he was the “presumptive nominee” this week, much news coverage challenged him on it. A new survey reveals that GOP voters appear to agree with Mr. Trump: 89 percent now agree that the candidate will win the nomination, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll released Friday.

The number of Republican voters who believe Mr. Trump will be the nominee has risen by 18 percentage points in less than a week. The poll analysis cites his sweeping primary victories in New York and five other states in recent days as deciding factors.

“To show how far Trump has come in a presidential bid that most considered highly improbable at the time, just 25 percent of Republicans said he was the likely nominee,” Rasmussen reported.

Americans in general agree. Among all likely voters, 80 percent believe the billionaire will be on the national ballot in seven months.

Good news. Thanks, LS. Delegate update BUMP!

He won’t quit. I think it’s ego driven with Cruz. Sorry to say. He was my favorite this time last year.

Thanks very much for your kind replies.

I'm delighted to read that Mr. Trump has gained 2 more delegates from Dr. Carson.

After reading the obnoxious column penned by the Party-Firster, that tired, tedious, old bastard George Will I am even more convinced that Mr. Trump is both the R/x for our Republic and the antidote for the Grand Old CORRUPT-Sell-Out Party.

Make America Great Again ... you betcha!

Remake the GOP... Damn Right and about damn time!

VOTE "AMERICAN"!
VOTE TRUTH!
VOTE TRUMP!

I agree. His unbridled ambition is only challenged by his deceit.

Senator Cruz has no shame!

This primary and this historic election has become ALL about him. Most of our elections do not involve such high stakes!

Nevermind American FIRST.

For Cruz, it's Cruz first and to Hell with everyone and everything else.

“THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the true patriots.

Thanks for the ping.

“What are the odds that Cruz quits if he loses Tuesday?”

Any normal candidate would have thrown in the towel after losing like Cruz did last Tuesday. I’m starting to think that he’s nothing more than a hand puppet, and that other masters make those sorts of decisions for him.

They’re obviously still wedded to the idea that they can wrest the nomination away from Trump at a contested convention.

I have a strong feeling that Cruz will stay in it, even if he loses Indiana.

I hate to say it, but I think you're right. I'd love for him to drop out and try to unify, but he's not shown himself capable of that.

The worst thing is the amount of negativity he's pouring into Trump, like a petulant teen wanting to get him back for stealing his girlfriend. The nasty Cruz jabs, along with the negative ads in each state, I think that's what the creeps in the GOPe want. They hope to damage Trump so he loses in the general.

I think that's true, and it makes me sick.

[Lakeshark]

I fully agree.

I don't know if Rush can get his reputation back, which is really sad.

[going hot]

Ironically, the longer Mr. Cruz stays in, the weaker he appears.

[glock rocks]

F*** Cruz.

F *** Hillery

Wake up America!

We have only a brief, fleeting moment to save our representative democratic government. If we fail this, civilization will be set back millennia.

I tend to agree that TC won’t quit, but I suspect it is more because the GOPe/RNC/CFR puppetmasters are demanding he throw a wrench in the works, as the NWO show must go on.

I’m sure he’s ‘promised’ quite a few things in return.

No inside information, just my guess.

Thanks
