Damn, Elektra, you are as dumb on politics as you are on science. In all the match ups on pols, Clinton has an 8 to 1 advantage on Trump. If it is a Trump-Clinton match up, Clinton will take it overwhelmingly.

I tuned into Glenn Beck for a few minutes the other day and he was begging for either Cruz or Rubio to drop out so Trump could be taken down. And earlier tonight Mark Levin was in desperation mode, begging people to go vote for Cruz. It's hilarious to see them realize the monster they've created. Right wing media's very own Frankenstein! I wonder if they'll learn any lessons from this.

Obama created Trump, had Obama not destroyed the Democrat brand, Trump would of ran as a Democrat, but the Democrats are forever now known as Marxists, and Trump knows Trump is not a Marxist, so he ran as a Republican.

The Democrats are forever gone, the party of Racism and Bigotry is dying, thank god we can watch it together.

Trump is the biggest RINO of the GOP candidates. He's also the smartest of them and knows exactly how to win over the terrified, xenophobic GOP base. I am truly impressed by what he's managed to accomplish in this primary by playing you rubes like a fiddle. But at the same time... I think he is the least dangerous of your candidates... so I'm torn as to whether I should be saying anything.

Trump very much reminds me of Mussolini. Same chest out bluster, same appeal to the low intellect males.

He is far less dangerous than Cruz or Rubio would be. Cruz will have us in religious crusade mode for at least 4 years, and Rubio is a pussy who will be controlled by the neo-cons. So basically another religious crusade.

Trump, at the least, would be entertaining.

Yo, yes they have learned plenty? Let Trump Win, because he is taking Votes from the "DUMB" Democrats! Democrats, even Blacks are voting for him?

Scott Walker was the best choice for conservatives but a punk on the school ground beat out real conservative values.

Unbelievably mind boggling

Not sure why you are just noticing the republicans do stupid shit. They always have, and you always seemed to like it before.

This is the lack of maturity that is hurting MY party.

You're glad that others are sad..... pathetic

If 3 candidates on the GOP side don't drop out NOW and consolidate behind the last man standing vs Trump, this race is over.
I created a thread calling for this LAST WEEK and everyone said it was too early. Well I'm telling all of you, it's all but too late now.

How is it I see the writing on the wall but these so called professional politicians with all their polling don't see it?

The game IS OVER barring a miracle

I like Rubio, but he hasn't won a state yet. He needs to drop out as does Carson and Kasich. Let Cruz go one on one with Trump. But if Trump wins he has my vote in November.

I honestly don't know what I'm going to do in the upcoming primary, let alone November. Hillary must be defeated though.

ok, this is an old article, from 2014, about all the rule changes in the RNC for Presidential candidates, but primarily this "Rule 40" is what you should search, to find out more about it....

IF I understand it correctly, a candidate must win a majority of the delegates in each of a minimum of 8 State's allocation of delegates in order to win the contest in the primaries.

so the winner must win 50% or more of the delegates in any of 8 States, to be a winner... otherwise there can be a brokered convention or contested convention and only the delegate votes count, and not the primary votes from citizens?

(but what about the States that have a winner take all??? must the candidate receive 50% of the vote in those States? I don't understand??????)

A Brokered GOP Convention in 2016?

So much for an orderly primary.

This storyline would cause considerable heartburn for a good number of Republicans who are at pains to streamline and sanitize the primary process in the wake of the long and draining 2012 slog.

But not Curly Haugland, the 14-year committeeman from North Dakota. A staunch traditional conservative, Haugland knows the rule book better than many of his colleagues and is poised to use it to his advantage to empower delegates over primary voters in the next nominating process.

“Every primary, every caucus, will essentially be a beauty contest,” Haugland says of 2016. “Now, those results will be persuasive to delegates that go to the convention. But the delegates to the Republican convention are going to choose the next presidential nominee. Nobody will have the majority of delegates from eight states before the convention.”

At first listen, the notion seems laughable.

A four-month primary schedule that doesn’t matter? A multiple candidate field devising a delegate-driven strategy for a convention fight? Not in today’s top-down, tightly scripted political era.

[ALSO: Republican Convention Selection Driven by Business, Not Politics, Priebus Says]

But Haugland, wielding the 2012 rule book in his hand, merely refers back to the RNC’s own rules, created and ratified by its own membership to defend his game-changing assertions.

“The RNC has no option except to follow these rules, until they convene in 2016,” he says.

“They can’t wish it away. All the campaigns have to operate with the knowledge that this is the current rule, to get to the eight-state threshold.”

Asked how widespread his interpretation of the rule is, Haugland responds with a grin as wide as a Cheshire cat: “I don’t need any support. All I need is Rule 40.”


Curly Haugland, shown here at the North Dakota state Republican convention in 2010, wants RNC delegates, not primary voters, to ultimately decide the Republican nominee in 2016.
The irony is that the origination of the new Rule 40 came from the epitome of the establishment: Super Republican lawyer and lobbyist Ben Ginsberg, who served as Mitt Romney’s counsel in 2012 and guided the successful Florida recount on behalf of the GOP in 2000 that made George W. Bush president.

Ginsberg, seated two rows behind Haugland at that Tampa meeting, spearheaded many of the rule changes in order to protect Romney’s 2012 convention and what was assumed to be his re-election campaign in 2016. He proposed increasing the amount of states required for an aspiring nominee from five to eight. He also changed the requirement from a simple plurality -- any leading percentage of the vote under 50 percent -- to a harder-to-attain majority. It was all meant to insulate Romney from an intraparty threat. As pugilistic as he is savvy, Ginsberg got almost everything he wanted.

Reached by phone, Ginsberg declined to comment on the record for this story, but multiple committee members cited him as the driver of most of the amendments to the rules. Not all blame him for his maneuvers – his primary and rightful concern at that time was protecting Romney – but now several think Rule 40 should be revisited, even if they see Haugland’s scenario as unlikely to materialize.

If the primary gets to my state I'll vote for Cruz assuming he's still in. But regardless of who wins the nominaton, I'm voting (R) in November. I've had enough of Liberals and their race-baiting, socialist garbage.

Easy...the Establishment doesn't want Trump OR Cruz. So they are going to keep chugging behind Rubio to try to get their donor bought and paid for candidate in there no matter what.

Cruz folks should quit wasting their time attacking Trump, and making the case Rubio need to get the hell out of the race.
