It is becoming horrifyingly clearer by the day, Donald Trump will be the Republican presidential nominee. Trump is on a roll having won three of the first four Republican primary contests. If Trump has a good showing on Super Tuesday, March 2, and continues to win afterward — even by small margins — he will most likely win the nomination.
About the only way Trump can be stopped is if he wins most of the delegates but not enough to put him over the 1,237 needed to secure the nomination at the GOP convention in July. In such a case, it’s anybody’s guess what might happen then. Could Mitt Romney be trotted out by the Republican establishment as the Party’s savior? How about Paul Ryan?
Republicans find themselves in this predicament because they underestimated Trump’s staying power. Except for the pathetically inept Jeb Bush, few establishment candidates attacked Trump in any aggressive, sustained way early in the race. Now we have Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz going after the front-runner with guns blazing. But it looks like a case of “too little too late.”
Democrats are salivating over the prospect of facing Trump in the general election. The thinking is their likely nominee, Hillary Clinton, will eat his lunch. Unlike Republican primary voters, Americans will come to their senses and elect the more experienced, and tested, Hillary.
Or will they?
Hillary’s negatives among all voters are just slightly below those of Trump. A large group of Democrats, mostly Progressives, have vowed to sit out the election or vote for Trump if Hillary becomes their party’s nominee. Trump voters are an enthusiastic bunch. They’ve had their fill of politics as usual. They want radical change even if that change borders on anarchy.
Hillary does not engender Trump’s passion among today’s anti-establishment voters. A low Democratic turnout due to a deficit of enthusiasm for their candidate could very well lead to a President Trump.
One-on-one match ups between Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders favor Sanders in larger numbers than they do Hillary. Democratic enthusiasm, the kind that brings out voters, is squarely with the Sanders camp.
It’s ironic, the electability argument has nearly always favored Clinton over the democratic socialist Sanders. If Democrats get their wish of a Trump nomination, the electability meme may have to be revisited.

Seven Reasons Democrats Should Be Terrified of Donald Trump:
Clinton’s Lead Is Surmountable
Trump’s Positions are Popular
Trump Will Have Months to Find and Occupy the Political Center
Hillary Clinton is a Terrible Presidential Candidate
The Country Wants Change
Michael Bloomberg’s Entry into the Race Would Help Trump
Global Chaos Helps Trump
-Matthew Continetti, FreeBeacon.com
Yes, the country wants revolution, not evolution. That’s why Bernie has a better chance against Trump.
For all of the talk about Rubio vs. Cruz and about who might be the stronger candidate in a one-on-one against Trump, it’s worth noting that the cake is incredibly close to being baked for Trump in terms of the delegate math. Something cataclysmic is going to have to happen — and soon, such as on Tuesday — to keep Trump from exceeding or being very close to the 1,237 delegates he needs to be the Republican Party’s nominee when the primaries end June 7.

Chris knows what he is talking about.
true. trump will defeat the last remaining neocon: hillary clinton
Hillary hasn’t clinched anything yet. Let’s not count old Bernie out… just yet.
Hillary, shillary, really dillardly-
Seeks the nomination willingly
She absolutely will not listen-
To the alarm bells of treason!
Hillary, shillary, really dillardly-
Seeks the nomination willingly
For POTUS of the United States-
But it may be too much, too late!
Her FBI investigation-
Into her willful proliferation
And disregard of national policies-
Has become her political Achilles
Dragging her ever down and down-
Stick a fork in it, girl! You’re done!
The biggest tsunamis always begin-
Out in the deepest waters, when
Just after a major quake erupts-
Barely noticed; the smallest trough
But then quite soon they reach the reefs-
And quite suddenly railing upward, grief
Still moving at the speed of a jetliner-
Come tearing inward hundreds of miles
I see this same thing coming for Clinton-
She hasn’t a clue of what’s about to happen!
She acts as though there’s nothing wrong-
As though she were in the right all along
She runs her campaign as though she were-
Above the law; no one can touch her!
But above it or beneath it; we shall see-
Indictment maelstroms are whirling fiercely!
And another wave, perhaps even more-
Terrifying than the ones at her door
Goes by the name of Donald Trump-
Who shall put his foot in her rump!
Some love to tout and laud her experience-
Trump shall turn her experience to indigence!
Experience can also be turned on you-
And tear to pieces establishment fools!
She is nothing but an establishment whore-
Lies and deceptions; murder, greed and more
Just read about the Clinton Foundation-
Or the murder of the boys on the train station
Sex slaves, ear marks, all underhanded-
And all leading to her inevitable banishment!
You don’t believe me? Why, that’s okay?-
Like a weed, the truth finds its way
Just as every single dog has its day-
Soon Hil-LIAR-y shall be washed away
From the Illuminati she has worshiped long-
To the American people she now absconds!
Her time is growing ever shorter-
In rolls the almighty tsunami of Karma!
It’s a bitch-on-the-itch! Look it up, witch!
Good things come to those who wait-
But not to those who wait too late
Wake up, Hillary! Make no mistake-
You’ve grow old soon and wise, too late!” – Jon B.
“Vote for Rodham-
And scrape the bottom!” – Jon B.
Sincerely-
Jon B.
You’re too much, Jon! We’ll see where this tsunami will take us.
Roger that, buddy! <[:–))
TRUMP IN 2016!!!!!
