WestVirginiaRebel Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 PJ Media: Apologies to those who still don't accept the inevitability of a Donald Trump candidacy in the Republican Party -- I feel your pain, as a famous prevaricator/predator once said -- but, disappointing as it may be to Fox and CNN executives, not to mention the millions or hundreds of thousands of voters loyal to Messrs. Cruz and Kasich, it's all over but the shouting and the backbiting. Cleveland in July may not be Christmas in July, but it's not going to be the second coming of the 1992 L.A. riots or the 1968 Chicago convention either. It's going to be business -- relatively -- as usual with a Republican nominee comfortably in place before the festivities begin. And we all know who that is, like it or not. The fat lady has sung -- with a Queens accent. I know that many see this as a disaster. The Republican Party will disintegrate. The Congress will turn blue never to return, etc. etc. I don't. I'm sure that since I am a Trump supporter -- even though an intermittent and ambivalent one -- people will disqualify my opinion, and perhaps they should, but I don't have that worry. I think, as the old saying goes, things happen for a reason. I agree with Tucker Carlson, who said on The Kelly File Monday night that Trump was the only candidate with a chance of defeating Hillary Clinton in the general election. It is only Trump, of all the Republicans, if indeed he is a Republican, who is enough of a wild card to overcome the new American demographics that so favor Democratic candidates in presidential elections. They were bad enough when Obama ran against Romney. They are worse now. ________ Come what may, the convention will go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geee Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Certainly not looking that way tonite. Trump carrying all 5 primaries by 54 to 64%. Cruz down big. 2 in low 10's and highest two in low 20's. Yikes. How is it possible for so many people to be so stupid? I think so many people vote for an idea instead of the person. Hope and Change sounded great and nobody paid attention who was saying it!!! Make America Great Again - doesn't matter who is saying it. They just listen to the slogan and don't even listen to anything about the person who's saying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geee Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 No, Mr. Trump, You're Not the Presumptive Nominee... Yet In his victory speech after winning all five of the Northeast primaries on Tuesday, Republican frontrunner Donald Trump declared himself the "presumptive nominee." As much as his fans liked it, the statement is, strictly speaking, just not true. Despite big wins in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island, The Donald still lacks the 1,237 delegates required to secure the nomination. It is true that his last remaining challengers, Ted Cruz and John Kasich, cannot gain enough pledged delegates to win outright, but that does not mean that Trump wins by process of elimination. The Donald cannot assume he wins just because his competition cannot claim the crown -- he still has to pass the finish line himself. https://pjmedia.com/trending/2016/04/26/no-mr-trump-youre-not-the-presumptive-nominee-yet/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking to government for everything and candidates that will 'take care of them'. Is it any wonder ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"When a President goes through the White House door Does what he says he'll do We'll all be drinkin' that free bubble-ubb And eatin' that rainbow stew" Merle Haggard @Valin! A famous person once told me never to use..."Establishment GOPe RINOS" in a sentence. I don't necessarily disagree with you on this one...I'll only state that the National Review is now a pale imitation of what was founded & controlled by William F. Buckley. Nice Merle Haggard quote. It appears to be a reference to the American Hobo feast. In exploring yesterday, I came across a unique coin called the "Hobo Nickel." There were quite a few of these coins created from nickels minted in the 1930's. A nice slice of Americana. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobo_nickel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
