Trump isn't blue, he's purple. Not as conservative as Cruz, but a lot more conservative than Hillary. Unlike Cruz he can win the general.
It doesn't hurt that he departs from "conservative" orthodoxy on trade, which is almost as strong an issue as immigration.
A candidate who can't appeal to voters in states McCain and Romney lost can't win. Trump is the only man running who has shown any ability to bring in new voters. Cruz is appealing to the dwindling Christian right crowd that elected Reagan - in 1980! Trump is pro-Christian, he will fight to defend Christianity from the radical left, but he's not all that devout personally as far as I can see. But he's the best offer on the table. If you spurn him you'll get Hillary.
Is that what you want?
He has admittedly good skills at getting free media.
But it will cost him now, to fly the 757 around pay in kind contributions to himself...
In a word: Carson.
has anyone gotten the nomination after losing NH, SC, NV, VT, AR, VA, AL, GA, MA, TN and soon.. AK?
Which is why he would never be approved by the senate for a Scotus position.
There are at least two kinds of Lutherans. The queer/baby-killing liberals, and the conservative Missouri Synod.

Not speculation. fact. Until trump win his 1300 delegates , we fight on.
Nope. We fight on until November 8th because the GOP are already laying the groundwork to steal the general election from Trump. This is a rebellion. I’m looking forward to when you join the Trump Train and we beat the GOP.
Trump is one of the few Republican candidates to show the ability to lose a general poll to Hillary.
That ought to matter.
I am with you on that one.
LOL! Apropo.
Conservatives like Jeb or Gram
It would matter if Carter’s polling over Reagan mattered.
Compared to Corzine. Sure.
That makes me a lover of Trotsky.

Save me the disparaging remarks on Dick Morris, I know but apparently on Newsmax, he said now, Cruz and Trump will have a race until the convention. Personally, I question his wisdom because he’s no newsmax because of his shoddy predictions on fox I think.
Daddie Cruz told his boy HE was the Saviorman come to lead us all to the Land of Artificial Sweeteners and Margarine.
Kooks!
