The Republican Primary Race Is Filling Up

[Twangbanger]

Wishful thinking.

After the Trump bloodbath tonight, you will not hear a single significant voice on the GOP side asking Cruz to get out. What they now understand (which some political pants-wetters do not) is that the goal is to deny delegate count to Trump and broker the convention. More candidates helps that goal, at this point.

After the recent dropouts, Trump is already above the "ceiling" the media smarties were postulating just a couple weeks ago. The smoky back room is the only way.

Light your cigars in 5-4-3-2...

who would they pick that wouldn't cause an open revolt in the base? Jeb? No one will accept it.

But Rubio called Cruz a liar for claiming this... I am shocked by that.

hey who says profiling is wrong

About 30 black students who were standing silently at the top of the bleachers at Donald Trump’s rally here Monday night were escorted out by Secret Service agents who said the presidential candidate had requested their removal before he began speaking.

Apparently, Donald Trump and his staffers can be in two places at once: both on an airplane, and inside the venue:

It's one thing to throw out people actually making a disturbance. It's a whole 'nother deal to throw out a group of students, who because they are easily identifiable, are assumed to be against said candidate an intent on causing a problem.... ya know, before actually causing a problem.
There will be a lot of mileage taken from that one.

Perhaps you don't understand. It makes ZERO difference if Trump made the call or not. Apparently, someone associated with his campaign... someone with enough authority to make it happen, did.

He will. When President Trum makes him secretary of fatassery.

I was unaware that campaign staffers are able to order the Secret Service around. Thanks for your brilliant analysis of the situation.

The rumor mill seems to think that it is a Rick Scott endorsement. Who knows?

His campaign was on an airplane.

Also, the students were asked to leave because they were shouting profanities.

Also, it was a private event for Trump supporters, not open to students in general.

Well, Mitt's tanned and rested. If they put Jeb!'s or Mitt's hands on the controls right before the bird spins in they can claim they 'saved us from Trump'

There's been "buzz" on the net today about Romney. If they want to keep a wet blanket on turnout, bringing Romney in to the race would do it.

He said this jokingly of course, but it was humorous. Really like him as a political guy.

Well, you know that will be extremely difficult to believe. No one is going to admit that they removed a bunch of black kids because they were black, and probably assumed to start a disturbance in the stands.
Ok, Trump's campaign was on a plane (at least part of it). It's not 1980. People can get information, real time, wherever they are. It is unlikely that Trump, himself, made the call, but it is not impossible that he did know and had the opportunity to make the call.

As for the students shouting profanities.... is that all 30? 15? 5? Do you expel an entire group simply because of an unruly person you happen to be sitting next to? And how does one remove a group of 30 people "shouting profanities" in such a way "that few people in the large crowd noticed anything at all," as stated by the Sheriff? Does that make sense? A group of disruptive students are removed in such a way that hardly anyone noticed? Don't disruptive people get LOUDER when they are removed? Someone is trying, poorly, to sell us a bill of goods.

As for it being a "private" event, I'd like to challenge that. First you're assuming these kids weren't Trump supporters. Some may not have been, some may, and some undecided. They obtained tickets just like anyone else. The problem I have, is that the venue used was a VSU facility, and the people expelled VSU students. I'm not completely sure it's legal to expel all these students of this public university without just cause.
Personally, I think there's a lot of spin going on by Trump's campaign. Were these students warned about their language? Was their language directed towards someone? And where are the corroborating stories by other attendees (well, at least the ones that did notice)?
My personal opinion, is that a group of black kids who were dressed similarly were noticed, and asked to leave because it was assumed they'd create a disturbance once the rally began. That's the simplest, most reasonable conclusion. But, of course, nobody can actually admit that.
