Donald Trump will be the GOP’s presidential nominee.

Most likely, but it ain't over yet. If Kasich drops out, Cruz has a shot... but again, most likely, it is Trump... and so, most likely, we get Madame President.

Trump will get AZ and NJ, 109 delegates between them; he’ll get at least 70 delegates in NY. Just 3 states, and 179 delegates. Cruz is already at the point of needing to win something like 85% of the delegates to win on the first ballot, and taking those 179 off of the table makes it all but impossible. Oh, and if no one wins on the first ballot, then it won’t be Trump or Cruz, the GOPe will see to that - and then Hillary will win, as millions stay home.

Don’t be defeatist. That is how evil wins. Never give up.

>> most likely, we get Madame President <<

It ain't so simple, at least not in my humble opinion. An indictment looks more and more likely as the days go by. Or if not an indictment, a resignation by the FBI Director -- which would, I think, be a devastating blow to Madame Lafarge's public standing.

Then there are The Madame's health and memory problems. Her coughing fit the other day may be a tell-tale sign of things to come, and her gaffe about no deaths in Libya may signal the onset of senile dementia.

Therefore, I'm still putting at least half my chips on the Honorable Joe Biden. If The Madame's legal and/or health problems cause her to pull out of the race, the DNC will find a way to topple Bernie and put old Uncle Joe in the race. And for sure the Uncle would be a strong foe against Mr. Trump. In particular, Old Joe might well gobble up most of those "blue collar Democrat votes" that seem to populate the utopian dreams of Mr. Trump's current votaries.

Bidenville here we come? Wouldn't surprise me a bit.

Trump will smoke Hillary like a cheap cigar. She has never experienced an opponent who will actually go after her like Trump will.

I don't think so. This election is NOT the typical run-of-the-mill political one. It appears to me to be a tectonic electoral shift similar to the one when Andrew Jackson ran and won is happening. And Trump reminds me a lot of old Andy.

" If Kasich drops out, Cruz has a shot"

Sure, if "has a shot" is defined as requiring 90% of all remaining delegates.

The fact he is still in the race should assure any thinking person that Cruz remaining in the race has ONLY the goal of driving a brokered convention.

He is not in it to win it.

He KNOWS he can't win it.

He's in it solely to Stop Trump.

He's a scumbag.
