Trust me, importing refugees from Syria is not safe. Especially if you live in NYC and ride the subway every day.

Doesn't matter, the election is already lost for the GOP, they have a lot of rebuilding to do over the next two to four years.

Kasich is a good guy but is mathematically pretty much out of the race. Trump has a point in that Kasich represents an unnecessary diminishing of Trump's potential delegates . Already the GOP sucked up too many votes that fell moot and non applicable including another good guy Rubio and Carson. Remember Trump applies "business" techniques ,competitive waring and will kick your butt when being screwed over! He will make a fairly good president one day and perhaps influence changes to take America out of it's present insolvency, bankruptcy and on the cusp of anarchy IF we continue our course . Mr. Trump crush those ignorant pundits their the source of our condition . Mr Kasich thank you for wisdom and taking on a challenging Ohio.!

I have to wonder what the billionaires funding these guys are thinking.

Cruz has burned through an astonishing $91.2B and has little to show for it.

Kasich has burned through $25B and has 1 state to show for it.

That's $116B gone, and the two combined have less delegates than Trump.

Unlike the religious fundamentalist and the loon, he at least seemed a little more sensible.

A candidate needs 1,237 delegates to win the party nomination. Trump is the only candidate who has a chance of reaching that, which is why I stated that he must be recognized as the party candidate by the GOP for democracy to remain a legitimate factor in this country. What you wrote makes no sense.
1) YES..I read your post and ascertained you are complaining aka whining because another candidate can still afford to continue in the race for nominations.

2) Yes..I too have been schooled on how nominations happen..and to boot also been schooled on the RNC Rules come Convention time IF not one has the 1237 delegates needed.

BTW~~ Trump will be considered at the Convention..even IF he does't reach that magical #.. But I find this BBM above makes no sense to me No one has said he will not be considered ????? But come Convention time First ballot of delegates will decide if Trump or Cruz has the required 1237..Failing that..Delegates are then unfettered from prior primary attachments..then Convention vote#2 ..then IF no one is still at the magic #..onto next ballot..horse trading goes on amongst the delegates ( not the RNC elite administration) ..

I'm sorry, that it seems you have been vamboozled by some source that Trump won't be considered?? SMH..Of course he would, even if not any one Candidate gets that Magic#

This is seriously a horrible flaw with Donald Trump - he doesn't WANT to play fair. I don't want this kind of person NEAR the White House. The man is simply a totalitarian.
