    Hard to argue this. http://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/op-ed/article73424742.html
    Evans dropped a bomb on MSNBC’s Morning Joe recently, saying that the conventional wisdom about a disputed Republican convention is dead wrong. He says 1,100 is the new 1,237. In other words, Donald Trump only would need to get to that lower number of delegates to clinch the nomination. That’s because once he reaches that threshold — and he’s almost certain to do so — there will be a stampede by unbound delegates to give him the remaining support he needs before the convention is gaveled to order in July

    America being on board as in keeping Trump in this race.
    For such a "fool" he is still around.
    What will it take to rid America of Trump?
    When I say victory I am talking about in his own party.
    NY handed him a victory.

    I know what you're saying about NY. I'm saying it's meaningless in the general. NY is still solidly blue. The election will be contested in a handful of states. The question is whether he can compete in VA, CO, NM, OH, and FL.

    With less than 48 hours before voting began across five Northeastern states, GOP front-runner Donald Trump looked ahead to Tuesday’s contests in five states where he’s poised to do well

    That actually flies against conventional wisdom.

    No one ever said Trump is full of conventional wisdom.
    You don’t have to be a geek with computer models and numbers to see that Evans’ theory makes sense: Delegates are human, and humans behave in predictable ways. They want to get something for their support and a delegate is a depreciating asset who gets less and less for his commitment the less it is needed. No one wants to be the last on board.

    Evans said that in the non-smoke-filled rooms where the big decisions are made there’s an acknowledgement that Trump is likely to hit the “real number” he needs to wrap it up earlier than he would have gotten to 1,237. So why embark on a change to the rules that might bring about the “rough July” Trump is predicting?

    This is pretty good http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/donald-trump-odds-campaign-chiefs-comments/story?id=38637905
    "Wouldn’t it be interesting if I changed and everyone said, 'This is the most presidential candidate since Abraham Lincoln,' and then we started to lose. Wouldn’t that be terrible?" Trump asked on Sunday. "So we gotta be a little bit careful about changing, folks."

    It's as if he thinks the nomination is the final prize. Yeah, keep on the same track Donald.

    Ted Cruz, John Kasich join forces to stop Donald Trump

    Ted Cruz and John Kasich issued startling statements Sunday night about their paths ahead, the first sign the two campaigns are coordinating to deny Donald Trump the Republican presidential nomination.

    The nitwits should've realized that all they needed to do was make the race one on one earlier, instead of splitting the opposing votes across Cruz, Kasich, Carson, and Rubio.

    There are nitwits out there that still think it will be a Sanders/Trump election.

    Trump is right,
    It's quite a show watching Kasich and Cruz scramble like ants running from a big foot overhead.
    http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-idUSKCN0XM1HG
    Trump is expected to sweep the five states holding primary elections on Tuesday, prompting Cruz and Kasich to announce their unusual tactic of agreeing not to compete against each other in Indiana, New Mexico and Oregon

    Trump said, "You know, if you collude in business or if you collude in the stock market, they put you in jail,” Trump said in Warwick. "But in politics - because it’s a rigged system, because it’s a corrupt enterprise - in politics, you’re allowed to collude

    Really this is all very sad. If I were Kasich I would have dropped out long ago, don't want to be associated with Cruz/Trump

    A better question might be, what do Mergers think of Trump being POTUS.
    They are worried.
    http://fortune.com/2016/04/14/donald-trump-mergers-acquisitions/
    The real story is that dealmakers crave less disruption, and Trump has been a polarizing figure on a global scale,”

    Globally, only 45 percent of respondents thought that U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, a self-described socialist who is competing with Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination, would be bad for M&A activity.

    But the same proportion – 45 percent – thought Clinton would have a positive impact on mergers and acquisitions, making her the candidate viewed to have the highest positive impact on corporate tie-ups.

    The More I think about it. The more I 'like' the idea of Trump As President.

    I am incredibly sickened by the fact that Kasich would join forces with Cruz for any reason. If anything, he should be joining forces with Trump to stop Ted Cruz.
