To me, this says he isn't as strong as it appears. No one is saying he isn't doing well or that it is likely anyone will come close to catching him. You may want to also think of the candidates that are staying in: It is pretty certain if and when one or more drops out they will through their support to anyone other than Trump, with the exception of Carson. He is a mystery.
Carson is going all the way to the convention, and aint going anywhere. He is in it for the long haul. He is very strong on Christianity and strong on taxes. Real strong on those.

I don't think he can afford that. I expect him to drop soon.

You wouldn't know this by watching the corporately owned media.

If there were superdelegates in the Republican primary you know they would not be talking about them. They still talk about Rubio and Cruz like they have a chance-but Bernie is "done". Yeah, ok.

Can't afford what?

To stand around and do book signings and collect 5% in every state?

Sure he can.

I could afford to do that.

I think it's a bad sign for Dems...Virginia going blue has been a huge win for Dems and Obama.

The media and establishment is going after Trump hard now. They are no longer worried sbout Bernie. It's pretty clear they know Cruz will lose to Hillary and then we will have another party thumping war president. Things will get worse for everyone who isn't already at the top.

...The Dem party has no chance of winning without the progressive wing
I agree, and progressives WON'T vote for Hillary. Makes you wonder why the DNC is so hell-bent on giving Hillary the nod.

The Dems are quite sure Bernie isn't going to be the nominee, why go vote now? Nov is when they will show up en mass.

It is noted your bias.

Not 1 derogatory word about your dem darlings yet, you just CAN'T hold back with the repub insult.

Don't expect to be taken serious!

Then as I have said more than once this am, either Cruz or Rubio might be able to get us to a brokered convention.
A brokered convention would not be good for the Republican Party. Especially if they choose someone different than the people chose as the candidate. If that happens, Trump will find a 3rd party to run him as the candidate, and nobody could really blame him at that point. That would likely lead to a Clinton victory.
