This is the strongest position Trump has been in since he announced. The chess board is all set for him to win the nomination and then go on to a landslide in the general.

Trump understands how to gull much of the public with his oompah band, his Barnum and Bailey sideshows and his low rent campaign. The American people have to get this crap out of our system every now and then. Unfortunately in this case it will put Comrade Grandma in the White House to finish the demolition of the SCOTUS, the fedcourts, and the constitution, the military, the babies, normal marriage and keep those floodgates from impeding the illegal immigration.
As the Executive Officer said to the soviet submarine captain hunting Red October who took the safeties off his torpedos resulting in his torpedo doubling back on his sub: "You ass, you've destroyed us!" a moment before the torpedo sunk his sub. But, by damn, the soviet sub commander MEANT well (from his POV) and that's all that counts, right?
Don't count Trump's "results" until the evening of the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. He will clean up his act (IF nominated) or he will be crushed by a disgusted public. His foul mouth and bad manners and bully tactics and lies have actually made him a more malodorous alternative to even Her Royal Thighness. He's a DOER. So is Charles Manson. That was not easy to accomplish.
And you have heard of sarcasm, haven't you? God knows everything and knows full well what The Donald (who claims never to have repented a sin in his life) is up to and The Donald who is going to be 70 in June should get some instruction in the Art of Repentance before he meets his Maker.
Bring on the bearded lady and the dancing bears! Look, is that a squirrel running into the woods?
Good post on the Benghazi Bungler on Facebook this am. Sen. Warren recounts story of first lady Hillary being show error of ways of a pending bankruptcy bill. As first lady, Hillary caused Bill to veto the bill. Then as Hillary the Senator, she voted on the same bill in another term.
The most concrete reason Cruz supporters have demonstrated for defending him to the death is that never before have Dominionists and like-minded people been this close to getting one of their own into the White House, where they could use the power of that office against "pagans"—i.e., everyone they disagree with. With recent events in Colorado, the religious angle is becoming passé; and Cruz's supporters are replacing the religious rhetoric with spamming this board, and the entire media, with objectively false information about the "election" process.
I disagree. These whose life blood is politics, understand full well what Trump is doing... He is doing what none of them dare, go directly to the American people. What is being exposed is how like the Soviet bureaucracy the majority of politicians emulate. Trump has no 'policy' papers, cried one Cruz bot. Trump does not agree with the back room rules, made by design to control the outcome of elections. Trump actually does want to 'Make America Great Again', whereas the UNIPARTY intends continuing their cabal over our Constitution. And Cruz is a member of that cabal.
Trump didn’t make billions by being stupid or foolish. He’s smarter than many think or he wouldn’t have gotten this far. He does nothing without a plan—his off the cuff statements have gotten him into trouble, but his message is sound and his goals possible. He has an authenticity to him lacking in Cruz, Hillary, others. We have seen him in action—we know he will be hard nosed and fire people. He will be more Truman than JFK, more Johnston than Reagan—but, that being said—he’s the best we have out there and he just might be just what we need at this point in time.
Trump “seems to understand the Tao”???? He couldn’t spell the word.
Plants and animals, which cannot spell anything, have a better understanding of the Tao than most people, especially the intelligentsia and our ruling class.
I keep hearing Trump is going to kill him. Why is Trump waiting? I mean he was suppose to have thing wrapped up weeks ago. Oh yea. Cruz stole those 500+ delegates...

By the looks of your rants, it would not surprise us if you were holding the rope.

What's Trump supposed to do? Let the GOPe game the system to cheat him out of the nomination? You'd like that. Trump was being robbed so he hired a gunslinger to take on the beltway bandits. Politics ain't beanbag.
What I like about Trump is when the establishment pulls a fast one he doesn't let good manners prevent him from hitting back. Bob Dole, John McCain and Mitt Romney preferred civility to victory. I'm done with that BS. Civility can pound sand. I want victory.
Why did his campaign manager just quit?
Another well known dude said, “There’s a sucker born every minute.”
And they gather her daily.
Manafort is not even a good gunslinger. He’s been out of the game for 30 years and has already caused havoc in an already chaotic Trump backroom.
He was not his campaign manager. He was an underling who did not like the new hierarchy. Oh! Well!
I know that... just wanted to see if you were paying attention.
He was a fairly key guy though. The infighting is getting fierce over there.
This is called growing pains. The intensity of the stakes and the power of the players must be so massive that there will be collateral damage on those who cannot keep up.
I truly admire Trump but I certainly would not like to work for him. The pressures must be unimaginable. Only the toughest will survive.
