Bush predicted that if the billionaire landed on the GOP ticket, it "would mean landslide defeats for a lot of really good people that are serving right now."

You mean a landslide like the one that happened last night.

I'm no Trump fan, but I'm getting tired of hearing from other GOP leaders and pundits , and Buxh especially, that Trump will not be the candidate. It's like they have some secret plan cooked up that will deny Trump the nomination...well they might, but with landslide victories, like Trump's in NH...the secret plan will fail.

I'm not convinced of that. As long as Trump doesn't get an absolute majority of delegates (I'm a Cruz supporter, but at best I don't believe even he can get an absolute majority), the establishment can play with the rules to give the nomination to their pick. The Democrat Party is doing the same thing to Bernie Sanders.

Hillary "won" Iowa by 0.2% of the vote, with clear fraud in the caucus sites reporting totals and 3.1% of caucus site totals lost. That gave her 29 delegates to Bernie's 21 delegates. Cruz-Trump-Rubio got a fair allocation of 8-7-7 delegates in Iowa.

Trump-Kasich-Cruz-Bush got a fair allocation of 10-3-2-2 delegates in New Hampshire. Sanders-Clinton got a fair 13-9 allocation in New Hampshire.

Total for Hillary-Bernie: 394 to 42 (in Hillary's favor, of course). No, I'm not making that up; that's the real Democrat Party total.

It's not over just because the establishment candidates of both parties are getting beaten.
