Trump - Make America Great Again!

[TDX27]

If Trump wins Florida and Illinois, he can lose Ohio and still only need 50% of the remaining delegates. If he wins all three, he can't be stopped.

 

[Steel Vanguard]

Sen. Perdue (R) Georgia, gets it...

I disagree with that statement. Too many people have come out and said that it's more like House Of Cards in Washington: a big game where everyone plays a part.

I think we are past the era of the decent politician. You've got to be a savage in the game just to survive. Nobody gets to national office with their integrity intact.

 

[SteelChip]

and Kasich is Hillary-lite

Amnesty for illegal aliens
Assault weapon ban
Common Core.
Sympathy for Dem. thug rioters.
NAFTA-TPP

Yeh, that was a surprise. I either fell asleep when this was being covered or the ball got dropped somewhere in medialand. Some of these positions are indefensible as far as I'm concerned.

http://www.breitbart.com/immigratio...nesty-illegals-made-in-the-image-of-the-lord/

1) “God Bless” Illegal Immigrants
2) “I couldn’t imagine” enforcing our current immigration laws: “That is not… the kind of values that we believe in.”
3) Kasich likened deporting the illegal population to Japanese internment camps
4) Illegal immigrants “are some of the hardest-working, God-fearing, family-oriented people you can ever meet.”
( This is the only statement listed I don't have a problem with )
5) Allowing ICE officers to do their jobs is not “humane”
6) America can’t deport illegal immigrants because they are “made in the image of the Lord”
7) Kasich has called for implementing an open borders-style policy where workers can come and go as they please.
8) Kasich would enact amnesty within his first 100 days.
9) America shouldn’t address ending birthright citizenship because it’s “dividing people”
10) Illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay because “they’re here”

Kasich is a climate change believer too


Kasich breaks ranks, speaks of climate change

“This isn’t popular to always say, but I believe there is a problem with climates, climate change in the atmosphere”

Yeh, he's out as far as I'm concerned and he's definitely an establishment guy ta boot. The insiders on both sides are now in full panic mode.

Bill Bennett, Secretary of Education under Ronald Reagan and Host of Bill Bennett's Morning in America Show wrote.

"They will kill him before they let him be president. It could be a Republican or a Democrat that instigates the shutting up of Trump. Don’t be surprised if Trump has an accident. It's about the unholy dynamics between big government, big business, and big media. They all benefit by the billions of dollars from this partnership, and it's in all of their interests to protect one another. It's one for all and all for one. It’s a heck of a filthy relationship that makes everyone filthy rich, everyone except the American people.

Don’t you ever wonder why the GOP has never tried to impeach Obama? Don’t you wonder why John Boehner and Mitch McConnell talk a big game, but never actually try to stop Obama? Don’t you wonder why Congress holds the purse strings, yet has never tried to de-fund Obamacare or Obama’s clearly illegal executive action on amnesty for illegal aliens? Bizarre, right? It defies logic, right?

All the rules are out the window if Trump wins the Presidency. The other politicians will protect Obama and his aides but not Trump.

Remember:

Trump is the guy who publicly questioned Obama's birth certificate. He questioned Obama's college records and how a mediocre student got into an Ivy League university. Now, he's doing something no Republican has the chutzpah to do. He's questioning our relationship with Mexico; he's questioning why the border is wide open; he's questioning why no wall has been built across the border; he's questioning if allowing millions of illegal aliens into America is in our best interests; he's questioning why so many illegal aliens commit violent crimes, yet are not deported; and he's questioning why our trade deals with Mexico, Russia and China are so bad.

Trump has the audacity to ask out loud why American workers always get the short end of the stick. Good question! I'm certain Trump will question what happened to the almost billion dollars given in a rigged no-bid contract to college friends of Michelle Obama at foreign companies to build the defective Obamacare website. By the way, that tab is now up to $5 billion. Trump will ask if Obamacare's architects can be charged with fraud for selling it by lying. Trump will investigate Obama's widespread IRS conspiracy, not to mention Obama's college records. Trump will prosecute Clinton and Obama for fraud committed to cover up Benghazi before the election. How about the fraud committed by employees of the Labor Department when they made up dramatic job numbers in the last jobs report before the 2012 election?

Obama, the multinational corporations and the media need to stop Trump. They recognize this could get out of control. If left unchecked, telling the raw truth and asking questions everyone else is afraid to ask, Trump could wake a sleeping giant. Trump's election would be a nightmare. Obama has committed many crimes. No one else but Trump would dare to prosecute. He will not hesitate. Once Trump gets in and gets a look at the cooked books and Obama's records, the game is over. The goose is cooked. Holder could wind up in prison. Jarrett could wind up in prison. Obama bundler Corzine could wind up in prison for losing $1.5 billion of customer money. Clinton could wind up in jail for deleting 32,000 emails or for accepting bribes from foreign governments while Secretary of State, or for misplacing $6 billion as the head of the State Department, or for lying about Benghazi. The entire upper level management of the IRS could wind up in prison.

Obamacare will be de-funded and dismantled. Obama himself could wind up ruined, his legacy in tatters. Trump will investigate. Trump will prosecute. Trump will go after everyone involved. That’s why the dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump.

Yes, it's become open season on Donald Trump. The left and the right are determined to attack his policies, harm his businesses, and, if possible, even keep him out of the coming debates. But they can't silence him. And they sure can't intimidate him. The more they try, the more the public will realize that he's the one telling the truth".

I can't cast a vote today so I will just wait and see who the R's end up with and go from there. I do know that there no D's in my future, that's for sure.

And don't be bogardin' that popcorn Spike.

Maybe it's just my pessimistic attitude and general distrust of politicians but the closer we get to the convention, the more I'm hearing this "brokered-open-contested" crap. This just in from the Tea Party folks.

Establishment desperation highlights a rigged political system

(Infowars) – On Friday the Republican National Committee Standing Rules Committee told its membership convention delegates are not bound to the will of Americans who voted in the primary.

Curly Haugland of the Republican National Committeeman for North Dakota said in a letter sent out on March 11 delegates may “vote according to their personal choice in all matters to come before the Republican National Convention, including the vote to nominate the Republican Candidate for President” and disregard voters.

Haugland dismisses primaries as “nearly worthless ‘beauty contests’” and believes delegates “have been bound only once in the history of the Republican Party.”

Grafting the Superdelegate Scam on the GOP

Haugland’s letter announced establishment Republicans have more or less adopted the Democrat super delegate process in an effort to make sure Donald Trump does not emerge from the convention a winner.

“If the Republican nomination were contested under Democratic delegate rules instead, Trump would find it almost impossible to get a majority of delegates, and a floor fight in Cleveland would already be all but inevitable,” writes Silver.

It is not clear if the Republican strategy will work. However, it does signal that the GOP is busy attempting to fix the race and steal the nomination for one of the candidates who will likely remain in the race despite dismal numbers.

Earlier this month it was reported previous presidential loser Mitt Romney was brought out of the closet to stump Trump.

“Mitt Romney has instructed his closest advisers to explore the possibility of stopping Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention, a source close to Romney’s inner circle says,” CNN reported. “Romney is focused on suppressing Trump’s delegate count to prevent him from accumulating the 1,237 delegates he needs to secure the nomination.”

Mitt is has a condition, however. “But implicit in Romney’s request to his team to explore the possibility of a convention fight is his willingness to step in and carry the party’s banner into the fall general election as the Republican nominee. Another name these sources mentioned was House Speaker Paul Ryan, Romney’s running mate in 2012.”

Romney and Ryan did not run in the 2016 primary and are not the choice of primary voters, but this does not matter. The only thing that matters in 2016 is saving the party and the establishment from the dangerous and resented outsider Donald Trump.

[Troglodyte]

The voters who refused to vote 3rd party despite their disdain in past elections have only themselves to blame for the rigged political system. It took Trump and Sanders (who are really 3rd party contestants) running as R and D to have a legitimate chance. The establishment is still in place.

[deljzc]

First preliminary results are in and Trump is doing well. Close in Ohio but that's to be expected. Kasich isn't a threat regardless.

And I can't believe how much the northeast and florida and "moderate" states hate Ted Cruz. I thought I was the only one. Anyone that thought Cruz was a viable candidate is full of it. The guy can barely get 15% of the vote in places like Florida and Ohio. Anyone that thinks a more hard-core religious freak right-winger would win a general election in those battleground states better wake the **** up and watch tonight's results.

That type of thinking only appears to work from Texas east. And I'm starting to think that's like an entirely different country. Maybe they should try and secede again.

Polls haven't meant much this primary season.

My prediction:

Trump - 39% 45.8%
Rubio - 25% 27.0%
Cruz - 23% 17.1%
Kasich - 9%6.8%

North Carolina (72 delegates split)
Trump - 42% 40.2%
Cruz - 26% 36.8%
Kasich - 14% 12.7%
Rubio - 13% 7.7%

Missouri (52 delegates split)
Trump - 39% 40.8%
Cruz - 37% 40.6%
Rubio - 10% 6.1%
Kasich - 10% 10.1%

Illinois (69 delegates split)
Trump - 40% 38.8%
Cruz - 25% 30.3%

He needs 616 more delegates out of a remaining 1137. Seems likely, especially with him winning Cal and NY.

All Kelly could talk about last night was how Trump needs over 50% for the rest of the states or he won't have enough to avoid a brokered convention and he hasn't gotten above 45% yet. Of course she didn't mention that there was an elevator full of candidates splitting the votes until recently.

I don't know who else is going to get those votes.

The Northeast and West Coast hate Cruz. Does she think they are going to go in droves to the dead end John Kasich and he's going to start pulling 25% of the vote when he's only hit 20% twice (in Ohio and Washington D.C.)?

Whatever.... let the media keep making a story out of a forgone conclusion. They've been doing it for a month now, on both sides of the aisle (Bernie never had a shot either).

In all honesty, if the Establishment Republicans choose anyone OTHER than Donald Trump to represent them in November, it's not going to work. If they break the convention and force a moderate crony down our throats OR they decide to blow up everything and run a 3rd party independent, it really doesn't matter. They aren't going to win and they probably damage their Senate seats even more.

They are stuck. Which is exactly how I like to see it. **** them all.

But to her point, half a dozen have gotten off the elevator and he still can't get 50%.

Media has to keep on spinning it to hold the viewers attentions. If they all said, Okay Donald is it, no other possible outcome, the ratings would plummet. Get it while it's hot and they will milk it until the tit is completely dry.
