Rubio is out. Trump is winning. He is popular. He has betrayed his wealthy class and its interests in favor of working class Americans and particularly native whites. Whether he wins or not, his popularity reflects the distance between the GOP and the conservative base.

To be fair, trump reflects public opinion.

So where does the GOP go from here?

If they want to win the general election, they stop the BS, coalesce around Trump and run the ball into the end zone. If they prefer that Hillary wins the general, they keep going down the same path they are on...

He's talking with both Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell. They might start embracing him. They have no one else left to back in this race.

Trump is telling the scared little sheep what they want to hear.
He has NO plan other than build a BIG wall along the Mexican border (does he even know how long that is and there are rivers that go along and between the border too) and magically have Mexico pay for it.


By summer the people will be saying oh C#$@ what have we done.

More like White Nationalist/Supremacist opinion. I understand I am writing in that kind of site here (except for a few other posters). You guys need to embrace your beliefs and be honest with the world. It's obvious to those around you but you seem to think you still embrace the American ideal. You don't so just be honest. XXOO

lol. what do you mean? i'm a person of color and i'm not a trump supporter. but i'm telling you that he is popular and none of us can change that.

the fact is that the GOP is in trouble even if it wins. Because the voice is now against the well-to-do, as is on the Left.

How does building a wall on the Mexican border serve GOP interests? They want cheaper labor and bigger markets. A wall is the worst idea and it better has holes in it.

Trouble? Trouble? We're all in trouble if this bozo gets anywhere near the presidency.

People admire this. Trump: "All I know is what's on the Internet."

My adopted daughter is filapino. She came here at the age of 8. She and her mother both Asian are for Trump. I am usually independent leaning toward democrat. Not this time. I asked my daughter. why Trump? She said the main reason is that he is the only one who is truly saying how he feels and does not let anyone tell him what to say........good or bad he is his own person.

A couple of non-white supporters doesn't change my mind. Maybe they are poorly educated and influenced by you??? Trump is really not a Republican. He is a narcissist and this is only about him. He needs safe rooms to get away from those that he disagrees with. He is dangerous. He is inciting violence and hatred. Not anything good or full of light! I will never be convinced otherwise. I am shut off from people like him. BTW. that does not make me close minded. It shows that I am practical.
