It's actually a marvel at the relative transparency of the nomination process that Trump has even a snowball's chance in hell at getting the nomination. For the first 200 years of our country's existence, the various parties would have never given someone so appalling to the establishment a shot. He is probably going to win the nomination, which is remarkable on its face.
Santorum suffered similar difficulties in 2012. Nobody here cared because he was a terrible general election candidate. When it's your guy that's getting ganged up on, it sucks. When it isn't, oh well. Hearing Trump whine about dirty tricks and a crooked system is pretty rich considering the source - he is just pissed he got outlegged in a few areas where his ground game sucked. Cruz has the charisma of a wet paper towel but he is good at collecting delegates on the cheap - Trump had the same opportunity in the states with unconventional selection, he just got started too late.
The real bummer is what I fear is the culmination of a major shift within the Republican Party away from Reagan ideals (maybe not actual practice) and toward a European-style nationalist/protectionist party. That sucks for economic conservatives since those principles are antithetical to conservatism, but is nice for the ethnopreservationist wing I suppose. Looking back, this was probably an inevitability of the southern swap of the 80s and 90s.Comment

The Republican establishment would rather lose to Hillary with a brokered 'meh' candidate than let an outsider like Trump upset their position of power and become the POTUS.Comment

The shift is real. I would also add populism to that as well. They are shifting to a positive look on big government, as long as it operates how they want it to.Originally posted by Play Angry View PostPeople who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do. -Isaac AsimovComment

While there are a few who have said this, I don't think that most Republicans want this. Most Republicans need for Trump to show he belongs and can be presidential and not just a bomb thrower. We already know that Hillary doesn't belong. I still think that Trumps foreign policy needs to evolve. Polls still show that he will lose to Hillary head to head and she is a very weak candidate.Originally posted by shoxplode View PostComment

Polls were showing Hillary beating the snot out of Obama early in their primary. It will all change when it actually IS head-to-head. Hopefully for the better.Originally posted by shockmonster View PostKung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!Comment

In Indiana Bobby Knight endorses Trump. Cruz calls a basketball hoop a basketball ring. Cruz should just move on to the next state.In the fast laneComment

You can pick and choose the polls you want. But if you aren't the biggest homer in history, you have to admit that Trump has a lot of work to do. He has a big gap losing to women, blacks, and Hispanics. As I said before, Hillary is a really bad candidate and you can ignore his problems if you want, but Trump has a long way to go to win.Originally posted by Kung Wu View PostComment

I haven't looked at a single poll in probably a month. I've only been following the cumulative results that @SB Shock: posts and voting outcomes. I have read in a heads up match that he lags Hillary, so it certainly sounds like he has work to do, yes. But he hasn't been running against Hillary yet either. He's been busy focusing on trying to reel in elusive delegates. Once Cruz and Kasich fold, then it will get very interesting.Originally posted by shockmonster View PostKung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!Comment
