¿Jeb? spent $100 - $115 million. Didn't work.

Now that Trump has momentum and the air of inevitability, surely another $20 million at the last minute will turn EVERYTHING around!

They don't call them "The Stupid Party" for nothing.

Did any of these dipshits stop to notice the internals on the exit polls?

lol...he didn’t ask me either. You’re probably right about the difference between business and politics. Though, I imagine he gamed this whole thing out, because this was a known issue well before he ever entered the race.

One of the things I like about Trump is that I generally don’t have to worry about whether or not he’s smart enough to make the right tactical decisions. He doesn’t need a team of incompetent ‘advisers’ leading him around either.

I have seen a few competent advisers and about fifty times as many incompetent ones

yes indeedie

most advisers actually lower the government’s IQ level
(and that’s not easy)

Did any of you see Rove today with his chalk board with all the states and talking gibberish about the RNC Convention rules and 20% this and 50% that and which state this and that. . Neil Cavuto looked confused as was I.

I tell ya', if they plan on gaming this convention with their petty rules after Trump wins all the primaries except MN, Texas and Utah, he better brace himself for 1-2 million Patriots showing up in Cleveland. That is our Line in the Sand!

Karl , There are no Convention rules

Trump has the most votes and that is that. You broker a convention

Democrats win the House, Senate and Presidency

The problem with clearing it up quickly is he’d end up paying it off which would make him look guilty. Sorry, at this late date, he’s got to let it play out.

Rubio aired the first commercial here in Texas today. Aired it twice this afternoon. Didn’t pay enough attention to know what was said. Too little, too late and a waste of money. Most already have their minds made up and it won’t be Rubio in Texas come Tuesday.

Rather than spend all that money, they should endorse him.

That would be the kiss of death.

I wonder how much money the Democratic front runner gave to the ad buy.

Oh, that’s right NOTHING!

That only happens on our side....lately.

Wow!

“Yup... because it worked great for Jeb!”

Exactly. $20 million is peanuts. Jeb had well past $100 million and he had to drop out of the race.

Ultimately the only thing people really hear is what the candidates say themselves. The expensive ads with professional actors and stock footage (of Canada on one), truly do not connect. There is a fast moving informational stream and MSM, PACS etc... cannot quite harness and control the message any longer. I think this is a good thing. Some are not interested in the political world and may vote, often do not. Those who are engaged truly want to hear it from the candidates mouth and many candidates look too practiced and structured.
The so called debates moderated by the dishonest MSM is a disgrace, they are more likened to a wrestling cage match. This is not due to the candidates, it is orchestrated and delivered courtesy of the GOP and the hired hitmen and women in media. In fairness , the candidates are forced into playing this game if they wish to be relevant. The response by each damages all for the main battle against the Democrat. It is cynical and calculated. GOP has shown they are completely irresponsible and cannot claim the conservative banner. They have reinforced and deserve to wear the scarlet RINO letters.
Ilike that Trump thumps them. I am sad to see Cruz, a person I admire, embrace all of this and accept the endorsement of Glenn Beck.
