No announcement at all just a regular Trump Q&A. Maybe the one asking about David Duke was a Trump plant so he could disavow again.

The poop will hit the fan when the winner take all states arrive. Rubio and Cruz will need to get some of those and I do not believe Rubio when he says he will stay in until all 50 primaries are over. If you add Kasich and Rubio delegates to Cruz you have a real two man race.

How slanted is the media....Mr Trump wins 7 out of 11 states and has more delegates than Teddy and little Marco COMBINED, yet all the media wants to discuss is little Marcos win in Minn and teddy winning his home state....too funny

Pulpit or not, I agree with the 'bully' part.

Also, you are using the term 'bully pulpit' incorrectly. It does not imply that the person in the position can force anyone to do anything, simply that the position affords them the opportunity to 'speak out' or 'expound one's views'.

Bully Pulpit | Definition of Bully pulpit by Merriam-Webster


  1. : a prominent public position (as a political office) that provides an opportunity for expounding one's views; also : such an opportunity


bully pulpit | Taegan Goddard's Political Dictionary


A bully pulpit is a public office or position of authority that provides the holder with an opportunity to speak out and be listened to on any matter.

Exactly. This is the bully pulpit, not some bully behind the pulpit.
