Trump’s Right That The GOP Primary Is Unfair . . .
FiveThirtyEight ^ | APR 14, 2016 | HARRY ENTEN

Donald Trump has a point. (Yes, you read that correctly.) After getting shut out at the Colorado conventions, Trump has been complaining that the Republican primary process is undemocratic and rigged.

Trump is the ONLY Republican has a chance in the coming election.

The only one.

Cruz needs to stand down, and get with Trump to move forward.

Cruz won’t win the election, if he is our nominee.

He just won’t. Manipulating counts in races, only works to win GOP primaries.

It will not work in the general election.

Stand down Cruz.

Yup, the pressure is now on Ted Cruz to step down as he should.

Cruz knows how to bribe delegates, Trump knows how to point it out and make him look creepy.

They both have their talents.

I Trump does not hit 1237 one of three things will happen.

The first possibility is the GOP will nominate him anyway, because he is the heavy favorite within the party. He is supported by the most voters (by far) and attracts a large number of democrats as well. In that case, he will obliterate Hillary and win the presidency.

The second possibility is the GOP will go along with Ted’s gaming of the primaries. Ted will not possibly win the general election, and will be creamed. Historic loss. I’m just saying. People do not like Cruz. They just don’t. He will lose. Not just lose, he will be CREAMED.

The third possibility is the GOP will try to nominate someone else. That will also fail. Big time in fact.

The only way the GOP can win, is if they listen to the people in America who are actually voting for Trump.

I’m not sure if they will however.

Cruz will be absolutely creamed.

So is this the new talking points even though Ted Cruz has now been eliminated from taking the nomination outright?

You realize, in 2012, one of the last candidates, Santorum needed 75% of the remaining delegates, and he had the decency to bow out gracefully (he hadn't been eliminated mathematically but it was pretty impossible to win it outright).

Well, now Ted Cruz has been pretty much eliminated mathematically and if he had any decency, would bow out himself.

If trump gets more votes than Hilary and Bernie in NY I’d agree if he doesn’t than he’s toast.

Probably his first order of business in the AM. Get to 1237, then he can step down. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 100 meter dash where at the halfway point all the racers look at the leader and then look at each other and say “Let’s quit. We don’t have a chance”

Donald’s dream is for him to quit. Then he does not have to worry about having to win at convention.

Tryin' to say this without snark. NY has closed primaries, D & R. Many, many more Rats in NY than Republicans. Chances of Trump, in a three-way GOP race, getting more votes than the combined Rat total are impossible.

Your post is ridiculous.

"Trump is the ONLY Republican has a chance in the coming election."

Ah, if only Trump had been a Republican for more than just the last 12 or 13 months...

This time 4 years ago he was what? - a staunch pro-abortion Obama supporter

Has his change - if there was one - been due to anything more than political expediency?
