i think the anti-democratic/anti-Hillary vote will be strong...but even if the number is 30%, he isn't close to his ceiling.Quote:

T1 - Come on TYLER just give it to me straight and level with me, would you say one in a hundred?
TYLERTECHSAS - I'd say it's more like one in a million.
T1 - So you're telling me there's a chance!
There's still a chance. It's all about Indiana now. Cruz HAS to win Indiana. Then if he does well in California (splits a bunch of delegates with Trump), he's got a good shot at the contested convention. But if Cruz gets the nomination at the convention, the Trump folks will not vote for him and Hillary will win. It appears that either way Hillary is the next president.
The last numbers I saw on that say only 16 percent of Trump supporters won't support the GOP nominee if it's not Donald. That's not nearly the number most folks fear.Quote:

That said, there's a LONG time between the convention and November. There will certainly be fall-out if Trump isn't the nominee, but there will be plenty of time to regain support by November. What NO ONE is talking about is the incredibly short attention span of the average consumer of information in our country.Quote:

On another note, Cruz would already be the nominee if he hasn't taken his "I'm not here to make friends" stance up until he needed some help from friendships that he hadn't yet cultivated.
It is a shame we didn't know earlier that game show hosts could get the Republican nomination. We could have done better than Trump:
Attachment 13395
Attachment 13396
Attachment 13397
Attachment 13398
In other words, it is a clown show.Quote:

So, what you are saying is, Barris acted the fool for laughs on a game show, but has done what has had to be done in reality.Quote:

Trump gave a pretty good speech today...though I didn't catch all of it.
Yes, not bad. I could vote for that guy. Just keep him reading the prompter. I don't know what he's going to do in the debates though. I would encourage him not to debate Hillary at all.Quote:
