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.

The polls of hill vs DT are useless because Trump hasn’t even started in on Hellary. He’s already defeated Jeb and the others and now Cruz has been mathematically eliminated.

Cruz fans..seriously.. if you want to display that Ted is indeed not a Uniparty stooge bought and owned by globalists, quit posting and crowing over articles written by globalists and Uniparty stooges. It kinda defeats your point.

"So yeah. You go right ahead on and post your non-stupid stories from Mad World News and other great blog-sites about the “Cuban Mistress Crisis”. Cause that’s all you got."

C'mon...you are feeding ammunition to our circular firing squad

The liberals enjoy seeing us divided.

Haha their answer is he is playing for the 2nd and 3rd ballot. You know, after blasting other candidates for not dropping out when they couldn’t reach 1,237.

But then hypocrisy is what Ted does best

“Cause that’s all you got.”

No silly rabbit. All you need to beat Cruz is Cruz. He is a ready made Humpty Dumpty served up to the DNC on a silver platter.

Vote Cruz. Hillary thanks you.

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

Abortion isn't an issue for the presidential race as abortions don't fall under the responsibility of the executive branch of the Federal government. Trump has never changed his position which is being personally against abortions... and that's about all any president can do about that issue.

Was any other candidate asked a similar trick question.... "If abortions were ILLEGAL, then...."? No, of course no other candidate would ever be asked a trick question like that.

As for Sanders... he has no plans to win anything. His job is simply to make it look like Hillary's working for her nomination. He's careful to avoid issues like her 2,000+ felonies relating to the emails, or her illegal money flowing into the foundation from foreign donors. He doesn't want to accidentally win the nomination... that would be embarrassing.

Now that’s funny as crap. I love Cruzlims but man that’s good.

These peeps are feeling haughty today - is there any data to show that Cruz gained actual support and it wasn’t just 6 weeks of #nevertrump baloney?

Good Lord, how the WSJ has fallen.

Au contraire my friend, the scales have simply fallen from our collective eyes. The uniparty has always existed, along with its various house organs that reinforced various memes to keep the sheep in line.

To borrow a certain phrase, "once you go Trump, you never go back". It's not necessarily Trump per se, but the crystal clear realization that the system has been rigged from the git-go.

That's why millions of voters will never support a GOPe engineered candidate.

“Just got through reading some of your posts....you’re no wall flower.”

It isnt about being a wallflower. I’m down for a good back and forth. That’s no problem with me.

It’s when some of these guys are obviously trolling, looking for a reaction, is when it is clear that they need to go.

That is why a large number of Cruz people had to be booted off by JimRob himself. Because they take it too far and dont know when to give it a rest.

He’s just the “not Trump” until the Gope can get to the convention. They want to keep Trump under that magic number so they can have “cover”.

If they thought they could just hand it to Jeb or Romney right now, and suffer no backlash, they would do just that.

He will drop out, run third-party, and dispatch your party to the ash heap of history.

I have a quibble. It's the dung heap of history.
