The media and the establishment hate Trump.

The American people support him.

Trump won every county in all 5 states. Greenwich, CT to Allentown, PA. All Trump. Game. Set. Match. Trump is the nom.

-—It is also about the humiliating defeat suffered by an increasingly isolated political and media class who still do not understand the causes and scope of Trump’s populist revolt.-—

I love this line. And from the Washington Post to boot.

Yep - the times, they are a changin’ (Bob Dylan I think).

Have you noticed (and I’m sure you have) that a media who spend all their time on camera and in print railing bitterly against the status quo are now railing bitterly against anyone and anything who might disturb that status quo?

Cruz's statements are becoming more bizarre every day. He's got a "let's be real" problem.

He thought he was a shoe in.....the greatest debater on earth....the greatest patriot on earth....the greatest moralist on earth...

And yet, he ignores the will of the people claiming that he is "We, the People". Absurd....

Maybe 2DV can post here...”You wait and see when Cruz wins the nomination”. About as delisional as the guy with the Nathan Bedford Forest signature and loves to wax poetic about how the Confederacy was really a Godly movement fueled primarily about states rights.

Only thing I can say is, Trump needs to be looking over his shoulder. He needs to have great protection, body guards. I am not convinced that some punk will not take a poke at him. They do not want him in the White House. He should be wearing a protective vest.

There is a real fear setting in... IF Trump is not stopped, then these donors are much less likely to get their cash back via ‘tax’ and ‘trade’ legislation by Congress.

Trump has ripped the cover off the corrupt methodology by which we the people pay for elections...

Oh, they understand. It's just that they only have a small box of tools to work with.

Watching Trump force them to try turning a screw with a hammer is an absolute joy!

[ He should be wearing a protective vest.]

It’s my understanding that he does. I think that’s why his suits look like they are cut too big.

You see the list of banned posters...the body count getting higher. I suspect maybe another half dozen today. They just can’t help themselves. The ABT movement needed to be banned from here. We see evil and it’s not Trump, its Hillary.

This article that heralds the humiliating defeat for media and political elites that Trump represents, somehow manages not to mention that the Washington Post was one of the most humiliated media establishments and home to a number of those political elites.

Bwa ha ha ha ha...

Donald didn’t just win, he swept every county in 5 states.

His margin of winning was so large, CNN was able to predict his massive wins within a short time after the polls closed.

He ignores the will of the people, expecting them to just ignore the fact that until a few years ago, actually just within his current Senate term, he was still a Canadian citizen and to still rationalize in some credulous way that he is a Native Born American Citizen.

Utter bullhsit, propagated by the media and political elites, trying to foist another of their Republican losers on us to lose in the way that only a Republican loser can lose, a chosen chump for the Butcher of Benghazi.

Cruz is the ultimate Washington insider, one need go no further than hold him up to a little scrutiny over his votes on the TPP and the Iran deal, offering no straight answers for either one. That's where the Cubanadian lost me, eh?

I'm going to make it a point to listen to Rush some today, just to see if he continues to shill for him after the results of last nite.

Realizing this, and the personal attacks on me by Cruz-FR posters who mostly appear to be missing now, changed me from a money-contributor to a NeverCruz within a half-year.

Cruz campaign gurus snookered me...for a while. A handful of Cruz FR zealots did not.

They have been lying to us after they let Chicago elect JFK!
