“Be the first to comment.”…Why?

Donald Trump has reached his zenith, he will never poll above 35-40 percent. The 60-65 per cent that did not vote for him, will never vote for him. As some of the other Republicans eventually leave the race, their support will opt for either Rubio or Cruz. Trump has too many negatives and has permanently alienated too many.

If the general election is a two person race, the 35-40 percent will drop.

I think he will win the nomination, the egos of Rubio and Cruz will not allow them to ban together to defeat Trump. If he can’t pull the Republican party together he doesn’t stand a chance with Independents and you know how the Democrats feel about him.

Have you seen the latest “Conservative ” defense of forcing Apple on the software request? “They do it for China”
We are sunk.

My mistake, let me correct that it was a link to a FRENCH website. I was thinking it was a Breitbart title quote but instead it was a Drudge link. Maybe I saw on Breitbart also but haven’t found it again. I want to be clear that modeling our security on a Chinese model should be lambasted by both sides.

Trump won despite tens of millions of dollars of advertising bashing him, the candidates bashing him, the GOP establishment pulling out all their tricks, endorsements and ploys.

Trump will not have a cake walk the the White House, but this was impressive.
