Boy, if Trump has this attitude, I shudder to think what he would be like as president. I can just see him, standing in White House Press room after the US suffers a devastating terrorist attack from ISIS:

"We beat ISIS, We completely defeated them! We hit them so hard, they didn't know what happened... But they cheated! I told them we beat them, but they refused to quit! It's not my fault - they should have known they were beaten and just quit. Not fair! Not my fault, because I'm a winner - I always win!

I think Cruz will either exit the race after he hits the mathematical wall or he will start to face voter backlash. The calls for him to get out will start coming. He has no chance to win.

Of course he does. It is funny how many Trump supporters now seem to believe the only way for Trump to win is for Cruz to forfeit... Until someone gets to 1237, the race is still on. And the only ones that will be calling for Cruz to drop out are the Trumpkins.

I personally believe Trump gets 1237. There will not be a second ballot. Cruz at some point fairly soon is going to start getting subtle pressure to get out and I’m sure he will be offered some reward such as keynote speaker at the convention or whatever. If he does not exit the pressure will just ramp up. After April Cruz is going to be out of gas.

Primaries aren't all out wars,, they are tacit agreements among the candidates who agree to let the process show who the voters want.

But Cruz and Kasich have decided to wage all out war, ignoring the spirit behind the primaries.

Both Cruz and Kasich are young men and in normal situations would drop out and try again.

But the RNC is so desperate to stop Trump they have given their blessing to both men to continue their scorched earth campaigns.

Both will fail and both will end their presidential aspiration's. for good.

>> Let’s all agree to honor and play by the rules

The rules of divisive misrepresentation?

GTH, DL.

Serious question...

Does anyone here think Rush notices an audience decline?

If so, does anyone think someone has some blackmail info on him on writing prescriptions?

It really chaffs me as the simple, escape, entertainment things are being pulled one by one away. NFL - can’t do it anymore, too much pink ribbon nonsense.

Rush - tarnished now to me...I listen occasionally and after 15 mins, he says something I read between the lines and it pisses me off.

Anyone else going through this?


Yup, and you bring up an interesting theory :)

“No one has ever credibly suggested that a candidate with a plurality of delegates must be anointed as the nominee.”

Must? No. But given the current field, I haven’t seen a credible argument for the nomination going to anyone else.

The trouble is, they’re good at being fascists.

Then again, maybe it’s a good thing only a few of the Democrats carry guns.
