Jamil, I'm sorry to say it flat out but from my position you exhibit many of the flaws you rail against. I know you claim Cruz isn't your guy and you don't have a guy etc. But you are full time anti-Trump and some of your favorite criticisms regard tailoring the message to the audience and playing his supporters and not acknowledging when the candidate's actions are at variance with his/her pronouncements. You and GPIATM also love the 'but Bush' rhetorical point. But what people see is hypocrisy. You spend all your time pointing out the putative flaws of only one candidate, which sure makes it seem like you have a dog in the hunt. I've lost track now, but recently, I believe in a nother similar thread I actually read you defending Cruz's assertion he will shut down the IRS as basically it being a given he can't or won't do that and no politicians deliver on all their promises. WTF? At that point you are only arguing matters of degree vis a vis Trump. i know you like to go for the dark, scary language of 'cult of personality' and 'demagogue' to make Trump seem like an exceptional case but honestly after a while it's just blah, blah, blah. A post from Jamil in a Trump thread is not like a box of chocolates and we know pretty much exactly what we're going to get. Noted. what else ya' got?

But did they criticize you personally? Or was the problem they just didn't see the gleaming beacon of your perspicacity. Is it all about you after all?
It's possible, but I think it's more of a case of him saying what people want to hear, the way they want to hear it. For all his faults, the guy is a master at persuasion, influence, and negotiating deals in his favor.
His politics are like silly putty. You can make it into any shape you want, it bounces, and you can copy images of other things and pretend it's real.
It bothers me increasingly - and I don't know if others see it this way - that Trump sounds exactly like the opposite polarity of one Barack H. Obama in 2007/8. Seems to me from all I've seen of Cruz that he'll do what he says he'll do, and that's a refreshing thought after the last 8 years.

Cruz sinks to a new low, and selects CIA witch Fiorina as his VP pick.
By the way, why even pick a VP when you're mathematically eliminated, and bumped back to third place in the polls? Nothing shady or political about that.

Hell Carly is such a bad businesswoman that after she was FIRED from HP (she also laid off 30,000 people) HP stock actually jumped up several points. Good job Ted you cannot even win a primary fairly and you are already announcing a weak VP running mate.

In all fairness, if we're going to support or not support candidates with failed business ventures, Trump should have been laughed off the stage.
Donald Trump?s Scandals and Business Failures Roundup

Trump has won New York and the Northeast as expected.
But note: Even if Trump wins ALL the delegates from California and New Jersey, he will STILL be over 30 delegates short of a majority. That means he needs to win somewhere in Indiana, Nebraska, West Virginia, Oregon, Washington, Montana, New Mexico, or South Dakota. He is not nearly as favored to win in those states.
That means we are headed to a contested convention.
And, as has been shown by Trump's equivocal record in CLOSED primaries (where ONLY republicans vote), Trump's support within the Republican Party is not as good as his support among the people who are "first time voters", "independents", or outright democrats.
And as for the threats he has made to derail the process by "rioting" in Cleveland...go ahead.
It would only be fitting that Trump can have his Beer Hall Putsch. He already is making his brownshirts (as can be seen by the paid internet trolls showing up everywhere Trump is mentioned and the violent "trump supporters").

Maybe if he wins and becomes President he can take us through bankruptcy, he has a vast amount of experience in that at least.
Nice try, shame no one can come up with anything new to attack Trump really shows how unimaginative the Cruz and Kasich campaigns really are.
There are 9 failed businesses. When I counted the successful ones I came up with 282. With some margin for human error lets just estimate that at about 280. 9/280 = 0.032 This means that roughly 3% of Trumps business ventures fail. In other words, Trump has a 97% success rate. Now here's where it gets interesting. According to Forbes an average of 80% of businesses fail. The average business success rate is 20%, Trump's is 97%.

Here is a nice long list of the great successes Mr.Trump has had versus the 9 failed businesses. Trump also employees 22,450 employees in his organization bringing in good jobs to people, the same cannot be said for Lyin' Ted or 1 in 46 Kasich
But Carly literally 'didn't build' HP. She just presided over the deathmarch

Absolutely true. Carly can counter Trump and Clinton well. She also can criticize Trump from the standpoint of a businessperson, not just a gambler like Trump who loses people's money.
She also has a clarity of thought and clarity of expression that makes her a good leader.
Not like Mr. "bigly" Trump. dang...another american who doesn't have basic mastery of his native language. Sad! Bad!

I am pretty confident that that gives Trump a safe margin to get to 1237.

If it turns out as you say, then of course you are right. I don't think it is as clear.
But with this post, you demonstrate what are the REAL battleground states. Nebraska, West virginia...and us. And why Indiana is critical. Of those states you mentioned as in play, Indiana is by far the largest.
BTW: In Decisive California Primary, Ted Cruz Is in Control - Breitbart
It looks like California is not as solidly Trump as I gave it credit for. If Trump fails (again) to take enough delegates in California, he could still lose "bigly" despite taking some of the states I mentioned.
BTW 2: as for polls...Polls: Donald Trump leads everywhere - Business Insider. As you can see, the results were not such a commanding success for Trump. The media is conspiring wtih Trump to place him as the nominee...even to the point of posting biased/questionable polls. Their accuracy has been particularly bad this election season.
Trump will take Indiana, and easily get 1237 deligates; while also claiming the record for most votes ever in a republican primary season.

Besides...why would you vote for Trump? Don't you realize he is first and foremost a New York elitist? Don't you realize that New Yorkers think Hoosiers are dirt? Your home is "flyover country"...that is, your home is not important adn doesn't merit consideration.
Don't you know that Indiana is consistently bullied by New York? We raise a significant amount of Gas Tax, but New York takes our share of the money, and Indiana always gets a small cut...because New York thinks they have a right to take our money to build roads in their state. Is your state a gas tax winner or loser?

Hey Indiana...in case you didn't realize it...Trump and most other New Yorkers THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN YOU BECAUSE THEY ARE FROM NEW YORK. Why would you vote for them? So you can continued to be bullied for another 4 years?
