Trump Will Win the Nomination

Ball State Deac said:
What states will trump lose on Super Tuesday? The field still has at least three candidates heading into that March 1 date, so the anti-trump vote (if it indeed exists) will still be split.

The latest VA, AR and OK polls I saw were close between Trump, Cruz and Rubiobot. And Cruz should take TX. Trump should be paying Kasich and Carson to stay in this race. The sooner it gets to just the top 3, the better the chance to knock him off the top spot. The best thing Trump has going for him is that his 2 closest challengers are Cruz and Rubiobot. I don't get how Rubiobot's debate performance didn't completely do him in. I mean that was worse than Dean's primal scream.
 
how did it compare to hillary's dog barking

I've been wondering about this too. Christie smacked him around like a schoolyard bitch. How his campaign wasn't totally buried after that is beyond me.

Pretty much the best thing Hillary's ever done. Only thing better would have been clocking Bubba with a golf club Mrs Tiger style when she found out about Monica. Trump will be awesome talking shit about Bubba until the subject turns to Trump's affairs.

Nope. Trump's gotten every vote he's going to get. He has a plurality of a crowded field. Rubio is running against Cruz for the right to beat Trump.

I'm sorry to see both Bush and Christie go. They are the type of leaders our country needs right now. Kasich is the last one in the field I will feel good about actually governing something. I will also miss Fiorina. She would have been awesome in a debate with Hillary ("I understand that air travel is an expense, not an accomplishment.").

JHMD doesn't know his party anymore! Sad!

Because it was Christie instead of a frontrunner.
 
Mitt's allegedly set to endorse Rubio. Would make sense before the Nevada caucus since there are so many Mormons there. Trump trolled Obama all Muslimy about skipping Scalia's funeral. Mitt made one of his kids apologize for going birther on Obama in 2012. Trump's kids and grandkids will be carpet trolling the Clintons as Father's Day gifts.

Rubio has long been crowned as the establishment candidate. Stubborn
 
People are SCARED!
The moment of truth: We must stop Trump


Danielle Allen is a political theorist at Harvard University and a contributing columnist for The Post.

Like any number of us raised in the late 20th century, I have spent my life perplexed about exactly how Hitler could have come to power in Germany. Watching Donald Trump’s rise, I now understand. Leave aside whether a direct comparison of Trump to Hitler is accurate. That is not my point. My point rather is about how a demagogic opportunist can exploit a divided country.

To understand the rise of Hitler and the spread of Nazism, I have generally relied on the German-Jewish émigré philosopher Hannah Arendt and her arguments about the banality of evil. Somehow people can understand themselves as “just doing their job,” yet act as cogs in the wheel of a murderous machine. Arendt also offered a second answer in a small but powerful book called “Men in Dark Times.” In this book, she described all those who thought that Hitler’s rise was a terrible thing but chose “internal exile,” or staying invisible and out of the way as their strategy for coping with the situation. They knew evil was evil, but they too facilitated it, by departing from the battlefield out of a sense of hopelessness.

Republicans, you cannot count on the Democrats to stop Trump. I believe that Hillary Clinton will win the Democratic nomination, and I intend to vote for her, but it is also the case that she is a candidate with significant weaknesses, as your party knows quite well. The result of a head-to-head contest between Clinton and Trump would be unpredictable. Trump has to be blocked in your primary.

Jeb Bush has done the right thing by dropping out, just as he did the right thing by being the first, alongside Rand Paul, to challenge Trump. The time has come, John Kasich and Ben Carson, to leave the race as well. You both express a powerful commitment to the good of your country and to its founding ideals. If you care about the future of this republic, it is time to endorse Marco Rubio. Kasich, there’s a little wind in your sails, but it’s not enough. Your country is calling you. Do the right thing.

Ted Cruz is, I believe, pulling votes away from Trump, and for that reason is useful in the race. But, Mr. Cruz, you are drawing too close to Trump’s politics. You too should change course.

Democrats, your leading candidate is too weak to count on as a firewall. She might be able to pull off a general election victory against Trump, but then again she might not. Too much is uncertain this year. You, too, need to help the Republicans beat Trump; this is no moment for standing by passively. If your deadline for changing your party affiliation has not yet come, re-register and vote for Rubio, even if, like me, you cannot stomach his opposition to marriage equality. I too would prefer Kasich as the Republican nominee, but pursuing that goal will only make it more likely that Trump takes the nomination. The republic cannot afford that.

Finally, to all of you Republicans who have already dropped out, one more, great act of public service awaits you. As candidates, you pledged to support whomever the Republican party nominated. It’s time to revoke your pledge. Be bold, stand up and shout that you will not support Trump if he is your party’s nominee. Do it together. Hold one big mother of a news conference. Endorse Rubio, together. It is time to draw a bright line, and you are the ones on whom this burden falls. No one else can do it.

It looks like February 10 was the last day to change party affiliation in Massachusetts, so she had up until then to do what she is telling others to do.

Democrats freak out over Trump like he's the worst option in the Republican primary. Far from it.

If you're going to go into hysterics over Trump, you sure as hell better do so over Cruz or Rubio.

tbh, I have clowned the Trump candidacy and thought he had no way of winning the primary. Now it seems pretty likely that the fractured and pathetic state of the republican party has made Trump favorite to win the nomination.

I'm now worried that moderate pubs afraid to publicly support Trump will do so in a kind of anti-Bradley effect because of their fear of the changing American demographics.

I am scared.

You should be; this is one moderate Pub who would never vote for Trump under any circumstances and I know many others. Demographics means shit: the man's a clown and should stick to building golf courses.
 
I agree with FYC and DeacsPop. The Trump thing isn't really about normal conservative vs. liberal politics. He is a complete clown and it is embarrassing for our country that it has reached this point. I mean I know a lot of people are racists but this is out of control.

Trump shares many of the personality traits of some of the worst world leaders of recent times. His closest comp has to be Silvio Berlusconi, right?

Any normal establishment politician (Rubio, Hillary, Chris Christie, Martin freaking O'Malley, whoever) should be preferred to Donald Trump by anyone regardless of their normal political party affiliation.
 
Pubs are currently losing their collective minds about an impending moderate Justice nomination from Obama.

Meanwhile their party is being taken over by a fucking clown reality TV star that has more lies to substance than I thought was possible. "We lose with [blank], we lose with [blank], with me we will start winning."

That is every speech. Except sprinkled with outright lies. And cheers. It's terrifying.
 
He's simply taking what Republicans have been doing for the last 8 years to the extreme. That's why he's winning. He's perceived to "tell the truth" because he's being overt rather than using dog whistles.

"Make America Great Again" is merely a summary of the Republican argument that the Obama administration has weakened America. There's no real facts to back that up but it doesn't matter. Republicans largely believe it and regardless of the facts they'll believe in 2020 that America is in better shape under President Trump, President Cruz, or President Rubio.

Trump is a clown. Cruz is probably the only candidate in my lifetime who could truly be described as "evil." Rubio is an empty suit devoid of any real personality or ideas. All have great potential to embarrass us.
