Will Trump Drop Out?
Wall Street Journal ^ | 04/06/2016 | James Taranto

Posted on 04/06/2016 11:02:36 AM PDT by Responsibility2nd

“[Donald] Trump’s second-place finish to Sen. Ted Cruz (Tex.) in Tuesday’s Wisconsin Republican primary may represent no ordinary setback,” write the Washington Post’s Karen Tumulty, Jose A. DelReal and Robert Costa. “It appears to be a pivot point—although it has yet to be seen whether the trajectory from here points downward or upward.”

~snip~

The last time he faced the prospect of venturing into hostile territory—when his rally in Chicago was overrun by left-wing disruptors—he ended up bugging out. If he fails to secure a majority of delegates, perhaps rather than endure defeat in Cleveland he will find a way to withdraw ungraciously before the convention.

Is Trump still afraid to debate Cruz?

And Cruz has to take all but 35 of the delegates left to get to 1237.

Think he will do it?

Trump cannot beat Hillary. Regardless of anyone’s admiration of him, she will beat him and turn us into Venezuela North. Go Ted.

RIIIIIIGGGGHHHHTTT.

Which is why the WI DemUniparty pulled all that hinky BS in the Milwaukee area counties last night. :)

The RepUniparty's Cruz will be the Designated Patsy to lose to the Democrat nominee in November. :)

I wish Trump would drop out of society altogether....or at least get a permanent case of laryngitis so we wouldn’t have to listen to him anymore.

Abortion should be a winner issue for us. Give them rape and incest (how many abortions can that be?) and life of the mother ( as it should be) and focus on third trimester and parental consent. Every poll shows a willingness to limit third trimester abortions, and grant parents this right.

Every answer to every abortion should have these talking points. Make the libs justify late term abortions.

In reality, The Donald’s chances are now greatly diminished! It’s really time for Trump supporters to come over and support Cruz so that we don’t end up with Hillary!

If they pull this crap they will not only lose the presidency but certainly the Senate, maybe even the House, so bring it on.

We the people will either revolt or be prepared to get on the trains.

“Hit Report Abuse on me? Went crying to the mods?”

No one is “crying” to anyone.

But when you Cruz trolls try to tun FR into a troll playground, you need to go.

Maybe you can go ask some of that many others that tried how it worked out for them.

You pathetic TDsers are hilarious. If Cruz and the GOP steal it from Trump..he is a legend and will be the people’s hero. The GOP will be destroyed along with lying Ted and his arrogance.

I can’t wait to lmao at you Cruzers..no chance in hell he ever becomes President

It’s no secret the WSJ does not like Trump. The Canadian should drop out!

WSJ, run by a foreigner, and often gives OP Ed space for Rove. This isn’t your father’s WSJ.

It’s true that men’s hair turns grey, but don’t they often get elected right about the age when it really would have started to go anyway?

I guess my laughing at you and taunting you set you off and is why your comments directed at me really apply to you.

Perhaps my “go post another Cuban Mistress Crisis” story hurt your feelings.

Whatever. I apologize. Personally. To you. You have my regrets.

Trump’s problem is that his positions are all over the chart. Abortion is a classic example.

I disagree with the 'abortion' question/response as being all over the chart.

His answer was logical and reasonable. Let's say your wife offers a hit man $10K to kill you. Who should be arrested ?

Actually, Laz, the WSJ is exactly what it has been for a looooong time now. Just another Soros/IMF mouthpiece.

“Stupidity is a kind word to describe these folks. “

Wait....when Trump is elected, they will say: “ OK, he proved his point. Now he should resign”

LOL!

Maybe not, but neither will Trump. Hillary is beating Cruz in head to head polls, but she is slaughtering Trump buy around 15%. We are talking landslide defeat for Trump here.

So come election night, I guess we’ll all be laughing at each other as Hillary sweeps into office
