“don’t know anyone who is for Cruz here”

Right, and he is polling terribly there against Hillary.

“In two years the people would be storming DC.”

That already happened. 2008-2010.

Yes, but some believe Trump could take them from Hillary. The republican nominee will have to win big because the fraud machine is tough to beat in Ohio.

Yup.

I’ll say it again:

Whoever the nominee is, he HAS to win PA, FL OH.

Cruz would have big trouble doing that.


Donald better not count his chickens. His style of positional vagaries and bullying and nasty accusations just has worn thin as it always does. Such behaviors get attention and laughs at first but they do not wear well.

I like Donald’s policies to the extent he explains them as do literally almost everyone I know and that is a lot of people from various walks of life. BUT, the shine is off the insult for most and most people are so PC today that they will vote for style over substance.

Remember that Donald as you sally forth in the rest of the Country. Apologize for going over the top. Get specific on policy. Answer politely and publicly every accusation thrown at you. Over and over now speak about how Cruz and every other Republican will do bad trade deals and wink and nod on immigration, continue outsourcing and on and on

Go talk to your minister about how your relationship with God should be and how you want it to be and humbly share it. Talk about why you are running for President. What kind of changes have you gone through and why. Why should the public believe in you.

Who am I to say this? A Nobody in Podunkville watching from inside the fly over ghetto established by the last few administrations and their treason and their greed. I am one of millions knowing that to make America great again means a restoration of the good. Millions want it and millions who do not know what it was ever like will thank the person who brings it back. But insults and trash talk are not going to get it done in the public square.

That’s what makes Jim Webb’s comments worth paying attention to. McAuliffe will go all out for Hillary, but watch the defense vote and southwest part of the state.

“Donald better not count his chickens.”

With the GOPe now attacking him, the Donald has no support at all except the voters.

So I don’t think he’s counting his chickens, more like licking his wounds.

In any case the numbers are the numbers.

Trump's firewall in the primary. Very few ways for Cruz to access.

Yup

“please explain”

I’ve been looking at the electoral maps an cross-referencing that with the polls at RCP (real clear politics)

The dems are ahead in all their usual states (West coast, east coast, IL, MI, WI MN) giving them a total of 254 electoral votes. That includes VA.

Really all Hillary has to do is win NC, and that’s it 271 votes, (you need 270 to win).

So the republican nominee, has to win: PA, OH, FL.

and then NC...or take away a Dem state like NH, NV or MI, which would be possible for Trump and/or Rubio, not Cruz.

Sure, if we win NY or CA, but that’s not going to happen.

Probably. I don’t remember, but his home state was CA.

“lets see what happens. This is an interesting race to say the least.”

The pressure is intense isn’t it?

It’s like a pressure boiler building up steam.

Somethings gotta give....a sleeping GIANT is about to stand up!

Agree. I don’t know how anyone can withstand what Trump has withstood.

With all those forces arrayed against him, I don’t see him winning, chaos ensues.
