Donald Trump is never going to be President of the United States. For that matter, neither is Sen. Bernie Sanders. Trump has gone from an intriquing source of being spot on in area’s in need of attention in America to a totally self indulgent ego driven train wreck. In Tuesday’s addition of Trump blaberings, he is accusing the Republican Party of “rigging the election” against him and more silliness. In doing so he has accomplished nothing to help his campaign and induced some of his less educated followers to begin serious life threatening taunts against officials in Colorado. All this from his loss in that State where he failed to understand the rules of Colorado selecting delegates. He never complained about the Florida rules giving him all the delegates with him garnering only 40% of the vote. Ted Cruz took advantage in Colorado by knowing the rules. The Republican Party had nothing to do with it. States have the autonomy to choose delegates how they wish. Donald’s ignorance was not bliss. He acts like a child in a tantrum.
In the very unlikely happening of Trump getting the necessary 1,237 delegates to win the nomination, without the women’s vote, all minority votes and college educated votes he has no chance of beating Hillary Clinton. Assuming she is not in court defending herself. Don’t fall prey to Trump winning resounding victories in New York (his home State) and in the East, his hopes in the West in know way will be as accommodating. Ted Cruz’s people have worked California and the West. They are much better organized.
As for Ted Cruz, forget him getting the 1,237 delegates. He is concentrating on stopping Trump in a second vote in the GOP contested convention. However, as delegates free up to vote after a first round of nobody winning the nomination, the Party delegates (mostly Party loyalists) will never vote for a man as detested as Cruz. Party backing used him to stop Trump in Wisconsin.
The big money donors to the GOP want no part of either one of these arrogant pompous losers to Hillary. They see the big picture. Winning is everything. The key will be keeping everything out in the open during the convention so the Trump contingent understands why Trump is not the nominee. However, Trump, lacking a shred of dignity, will do everything he can to disrupt the convention. Makes one remember the old line thrown at communist accuser extrordinair Sen. Joe McCarthy….”Have you no shame Senator.”
So what’s going to happen? Who will be the Republican nominee? As House Speaker Paul Ryan has said it has to be someone who was running for President. On a third ballot, most all delegates will vote for whoever they want. Take your pick from Kasich, Rubio to Jeb Bush and Scott Walker. It’s anybody’s guess. But, Party insiders have a pretty good idea they’ll never share at this point.
In the forwhatisworth department….President Obama speaking with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday said “There is top secret and then there’s top secret” inferring Hillary’s emails were not significant. “She was, and she has acknowledged this herself, simply careless in what she did.” This is absolute rubbish. How would he know? Top secret is top secret. Also, it is widely known she instructed an aid to tear off the Top Secret heading before sending it to her. Simply careless? This is a defense? The President had no business speaking about an FBI investigation in progress. He has used that defense often when not wanting to comment on an issue. And being careless is no defense in this matter. Obama probably hurt Hillary more than helping her. Remember Thursday CNN is handling a Hillary/Bernie debate if interested. Her lead in N.Y cut from 30% to 13%. Whatever happens there is of no consequence.
Careless? Once I went in front of a judge on a speeding ticket with the excuse “Your honor, I simply didn’t see any speed limit signs posted. There weren’t signs” Ignorance was my excuse. The judge banged his gavel. Increased my fine and I left as quickly as possible. I simply was careless.
