 Cruz surging? |
John Jett |
Fox announced their new national poll has Cruz within just 3 points of Trump even with Kasich rising to 17%.
Furthermore California, where Trump had a double-digit lead over Cruz is now only a 1 point difference
California Republican Presidential Primary LA Times Trump 36, Cruz 35, Kasich 14, Rubio Trump +1
I think the wife-gate backlash has started. |

This guy has no understanding of the rules, wants to change them as he goes. These extra delegates are coming from Rubio's delegates who are no longer bound to Rubio based on the state's rules. Some extra ones come from organization skills, a lesson real Republicans learned from Ron Paul. |
Lawsuits and being a casino thug is all he knows. I just hope theres an independent running with half a brain. |

Donald Trump will NOT be the Republican candidate. I don't know if Cruz will or not (probably not), but it won't be Trump.
whether I'm right or wrong about that, I have one other prediction that I guarantee; the Republican Convention will be the most watched and followed convention in history. |

All I am doing is standing back to watch and see if the GOP can perform a miracle and make a silk purse from a pig's ear.
We just had a mail call today. We get out mail every couple weeks. This time is it loaded with Anti-Trump ads from GOP members and super pacs. What a crazy world. I am setting down and answering them, to ask where were you when your base needed you?
U B RITE about the convention JJ!

Cruz is handing the nomination to the establishment He cannot win 87% of the delegates by convention time, including those he is stealing. If he drops out Trump will be the nominee. The establishment is flattering him with phony endorsements to keep him the race and to deprive Trump of the required number of delegates. At the convention they will throw Cruz under the bus, nominate Jeb, then put the campaign on cruise control allowing Hillary to win. The result will be a GOP that will have lost half of its members, but that will be just fine with the establishment.

| I guess I'd rather lose the Trump half than the Republican half, after all Trump claims these are all new voters anyway, mostly Democrats and people who never vote, so who cares. I'll take anyone over Trump.. A Trump nomination will end the GOP and remove the majorities we have in Congress as well. |

I'm not sure how you can think a Trump win would result in a Dem take over of Congress, especially if half of Trump voters (more like 1/5) are Democrats. I can't see them pulling the lever for Trump and voting in a Dem Congress at the same time. Sorry, but you are ignoring the fact that most of the Trump/Cruz voter are indeed Republicans who are tired of the establishment stabbing them in the back. All that will be left of the GOP voter base will be those who prefer wimpy Jeb/Kasich types.

There will be no Trump win, he doesn't have a snowball's chance, a trump nomination is a Hillary win, no matter how much he ignores the polls that he loves to quote when he's ahead.
A Trump loss will be such a landslide that it will take the house and Senate with it.
In fact, a third-party conservative that would split the ticket at the top would leave more Republicans in congress than a Trump blow-out loss. |

You are wrongly assuming two things....
1) That a Trump nomination will result in allot Republicans to stay home.
2) That a 3rd party candidate will be a conservative. The establishment will not run a 3rd Party conservative. They will run a 3rd party Bush/Kasich type. It is because the GOP hates conservatives that Trump and Cruz have done so well.

1. ok, well I'm not alone in that belief
2. I'll vote Libertarian most likely then. |

Again, I fully understand any reservation you may have about Trump. But there are vast differences in the reasons some Christians won't back Trump and why the establishment won't back him. In the end, Trump would be a better friend to Christians than the establishment IMO.

Trump is no conservative.
I have never been convinced that he is not actually working to help his dear friends the Clintons.

He will run 3rd party and give the election Clinton. Bill Clinton won twice and never received a majority of the votes. Hildabeast will do the same this time.

Won't happen. If anything, the establishment will throw the election to Hillary by running 3rd party. It will not be Trump.

I don't think the "establishment" is going to cook his goose, I think its going to be the delegates, and that is within the rules. Rules he'll hate and threaten to sue them personally as is his wont, but rules nonetheless. Ted Cruz has studied the Ron Paul organization methods and is using them to his advantage, but its all within the rules. When the second round of voting starts, it will be Cruz who wins because of his superior organization. It is the delegates who vote on rules changes, and from what I'm reading Cruz has his delegates in control of those committees already. |

WE love speculation and conspiracy theories. WE do have one fact that is flagrant in this years nominating process, Trump struck a cord with 'some' points ignored by the GOP leaders.
I believe one HUGE point in his favor was ignoring PC. It is common courtesy to be PC in some cases, but our society, lead by a liberal mind, wants to make some common sense statements 'out of step' and not PC.
for an example I am at a loss except one I can think of is 'Radical Islam'. Our president says that indicts the good guys of Islam. FOR Many years It was no problem (IMHO) using the terms Protestant and Catholic in the Northern Ireland conflict, without indicting the entire Catholic Church or Protestant wing of religious groups.
I read the words of our president decrying the GOP's dividing AMERICA, this by the most divisive president we have had in many years.
My hope in all this 'mess' is that some GOP leader will arise that can see its base has some ideas of its own, and will listen.

| I agree Cojak. Trump is nearly 100% a backlash populist. He has smartly taken advantage of the PC oppression imposed on us for far too long, especially under this president. I don't blame the people for reacting the way they did. I just think its time to cool down and make the most rational choice we can make. I hope the party will learn from this and stop trying to placate everyone with their own PC policies like they have been. You can never please everyone and you probably lose more of your own base by trying to, so its time to stop. If we are right, then why not be proud of being right? Call it what it is and move on. However, we don't have to incorporate flat-out rudeness and vulgarity to get our point across. There are some people who can actually say more while being nice about it than Trump can, believe it or not. |
