Let's not forget. It was only back in April when ALL the know-it-all pundits were confidently telling us that Trump had "no path" to the 1237 delegates needed.
No path. That's what they were telling us. It was going to be a "contested convention" and Cruz was going to win because he had the "ground game" and understood all the rules of the delegate game.
And this here Free Republic was imploding in much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
As you point out, Trump ended up with 1700+ and the nomination was a cakewalk.
Trump is going to do far better than 270 EC's in the general election. He knows what he is doing and more importantly, he WANTS to win.
Agree totally. I like it that the smug experts aren’t up to speed. This means 1) they aren’t preparing for the actual state of play, and 2) their tears of shock and dismay are going to be exponentially more satisfying to witness.
