I fled a few years ago after being an R for many years. My spouse still is registered as an R but doesn't vote R any longer. The party has been trying to find its way for several years. Trump is the nail in the coffin. Trump is finishing what Palin started for the R party. The 'non vote' for the supreme court nomimee is also helping seal their fate.

We are watching history now as the R party implodes.

CA is not, contrary to popular opinion, a true winner-take-all state. You get like 13 delegates for winning the state but the rest is on a district-by-district basis. According to an analysis I saw a week or two ago, Mr. Trump is expected to win between 70-80 delegates only.

53 districts - winner of the district gets all 3 votes. Winner of the state gets 13 more. Guess we'll see how many districts Trump wins ...

Really could come down to NJ on June 7th.

It's the fresh faces the GOP says we deserve.
Didn't just yesterday at 11:51 am insist that in a brokered convention Trump still wins?

Even with an open convention - Trump will close the deal.
Sounds like reality is setting in for you.

He is on all of the ballots, it's called "write-in".

In many states a candidate has to register has a write-in candidate or his/her write-in votes don't count.

If this call girl name list names Cruz as a big client wouldn't many delegates refuse to vote Cruz on second ballot?

He won't even make it to the first ballot - he'd have to suspend his campaign immediately.

I think the call girl list contains Bernie Sanders name. He looks like he has an enormous sexual appetite. Yum.

Maybe Cruz and Sanders ... explosive stuff if true, especially for Mr. Pious.
