Trump: I'm Going For A 'Knockout' In Ohio, Florida
thehill.com ^ | March 09, 2016

Republican front-runner Donald Trump says he's trying to deliver a "knockout" in the upcoming Florida and Ohio primaries.

"It's like the fighters, that's the ultimate way of doing it," the presidential contender told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Wednesday. "You knock them out, if you knock them out, nothing can happen."

Trump said he believes he can get all of the delegates from the two winner-take-all states that vote on March 15. Florida has 99 delegates up for grabs, and Ohio 66.

"You want to go for a knockout?" Cooper asked.

"I'd rather go for a knockout," Trump responded.

Sweeping both states would make it harder for the billionaire's rivals to catch him in the delegate count.

If these are Open Primaries, Trump may get what he wants.
I just hope the Open Primaries aren’t an example of Dems pulling an Operation Chaos on us. Get Trump selected for the nomination, because they think Hillary can easily take him out. Maybe it is as I suspect, but they can still lose that bet.

A lot of talk about Dem Op Chaos on FR, but a program like that has to have a lot of footprints. So far nobody has posted them.

Sort of like the common claim of “paid posters”.
I’m still looking for one of those gravy jobs....

The most important thing to watch for in the debate is if Cruz helps Trump in Ohio by attacking Kasich.
Kasich stands in Cruz’s way as much as Trump does.

Florida is closed. Sort of. You have to change your party affiliation, or register by mid February. So there’s no last minute changes here. But we do have early voting. I vote on Election Day.

The notion of a Dem Op Chaos is little more than a far-fetched conspiracy theory. People who talk up this sort of thing might as well be arguing that 9/11 was an inside job.

Cruz is going to knock him out in all five states! I predict Cruz wins Florida by at least 20%!

“He can sell some wine & steaks at the same time.”

You have drank the Cruz/establishment kool aid...Trump doesn’t sell those products to the public...they are sold to his own massive property’s. You fell for the infomercial thing...just another way for the Cruz/establishment to lie to you...they do not lie to Trump, they lie to you...cause they KNOW you will suck it up as gospel.

Whatever you do, do NOT bet on any of that...

Cruz took on Bush’s brother as part of his campaign and meets with bush, rubio, and kasich.

Outsider?
