Trump's performance in the west hasn't been good. Don't know why. May be he is not spending much time there. It is also getting farther and farther away from NY so traveling becomes an issue.

He took Nevada by wide margin.

Beyond that, there hasn't been much call to be in the West, vast majority of races have been on the East side of the Mississippi.

Travel would be no issue for Trump.

The West has not been tested yet. Nevada was a caucus and rumor has it there was voter fraud. I will wait longer to draw a conclusion there. It's the Midwest where Trump doesn't do that well

I have no idea why. I would have never predicted that Midwest republicans were smarter than the NE republicans but you live, you learn.

Those rumors came from the Democrat side.

So if he does make it will you just promise to go away?

We can all wish, hope, pray and dream!

If Trump wins the nomination, Dex will just talk about on how Trump has no shot against Clinton ad nauseam, which he has already started. And if somehow he wins the general election, it will be another 4 years ad nauseam on how Trump is the worst president ever in the history of the world.

So pretty much like any of the last half dozen or so elections. What a surprise.

The farther west you go the less support I think you'll see he has.

They always say in every election that it comes down to voter turnout. Trump brings record numbers to the polls. Clinton is pulling record low numbers to the polls.

I don't think so. Do you think California, Oregon & Washington will vote for a Pentecostal snake handling fundamentalist who wants to shove Gays & Lesbians back into that 1950s closet, and put women back into the kitchen, over Trump?

I'm not seeing it.
