Good day all. Yesterday was the New York Primary, and as expected, Both Trump and Clinton won their respective primaries handily.
For Senator Ted Cruz, this all but mathematically eliminates him from winning the nomination in any way other than by hook or crook. Since he can’t win through the normal means, his plan is to force a contested convention. The odds of this happening are all but certain now. However, even thought the GOP(e) appears to be lining up behind Cruz, there is Kasich.
Governor John Kasich has absolutely no hope of winning the nomination through the primary system. As the GOP base got to know him and what he’s done in the past, they have rejected him wholeheartedly. However, the RINO Establishment types would prefer him to Cruz, and Kasich’s plan is to win the nomination on the floor of the convention.
I’ve heard rumors that he might even name Marco the Rubot as his running mate to tie up even more delegates. I think I can safely say that a Kasich/Rubio ticket would be an absolute loser in the general election. Of course, considering just how stupid and out of touch the GOP(e) is with what’s going on in the country, I could see them giving it to Kasich and Rubio.
The blowout in November would probably flip both the house and senate back to the Democrats with Cankles winning the presidency. If you think the first two years of Obama were bad, consider what will happen when Cankles has her hands on the bureaucracy.
This is one reason so many Cruz supporters think he should be the nominee. Up until a few months ago, I would have agreed. I could have gone for either Trump or Cruz. Now, looking at how dirty Cruz has been, I’m not all that sure he is fit to be president at this time. I still think, if Cruz hadn’t gone dirty, he and Trump would have been an unbeatable team. Oh well.
On the other side of the fence, we have Cankles Clinton and Comrade Bernie. Cankles handily dispatched Comrade Bernie, but this wasn’t all that surprising. Cankles is the former carpet bagging senator from New York. If she had lost, or only narrowly won the New York Primary, there is a fair chance that all those bought and paid for super delegates would have bolted to Sanders. As it stands now, there is no chance that Comrade Bernie will win the Democrat nomination.
The fix was in to award the crown to Cankles last year, and even though Comrade Bernie keeps winning most of the primaries, all the delegates keep going for Cankles. The only way he can win the nomination is if Cankles is indicted, which she should have been months ago.
And Donald Trump. He crushed Cruz last night. Cruz came in last behind the Hunchback of Ohio, John Kasich. Trump’s margin of victory gives him almost all the delegates awarded last night, which is actually more than Cruz won in Texas. Trump could still win the magic number of 1237 delegates needed to lock the nomination, but it will be very difficult. He will walk into the convention with almost the number he needs to win the nomination, with Cruz coming in behind him.
And this is where it will get interesting.
Most people, at least on the GOP side, think that if Trump has the majority of delegates then he should be the nominee. This fits in with the American way of governing. The United States is a Republic. We vote for our choices to administer the affairs of government, (Federal, state, local), and we go by the rule of “Winner takes all.” The winner is the person who has the most votes.
This is not how the party system works. The two parties pay lip service to the voters, but in reality, they rig the system so that their preferred candidate wins. The Democrats, as we see with Cankles heading for the nomination after losing most of the primaries, is a case in point.
Historically, the Democrats have always had contempt for the rank and file members of the party. They have been gaming their system for a long time, they’ve just been very good and hiding it from people. Bernie Sanders came out of nowhere and showed the Democrat base that whatever they want, it doesn’t matter. Even if Comrade Bernie wins all the remaining primaries, it still won’t matter, he won’t be the nominee.
The Republican Party is actually more representative. In most of the primaries, the delegates are bound, at least on the first ballot, to vote for the winner of that states primary or caucus. However, thanks to Donald Trump, and the blind panic from the GOP(e) types running things, there have been a few games played in several of the states. In Colorado and Wyoming, the party selected the delegates. There was no vote. In Pennsylvania, I understand that no matter how well Trump does, or how badly Cruz loses, Cruz will be awarded a significant number of delegates.
These games being played by the GOP(e), along with public statements by ranking members of the RINO Elite that if Trump is the nominee, they will vote for Cankles, has torked off not only the Republican base, but also a large number of voters who crossed over from the Democrats, or independents who signed up to vote in the GOP primaries.
If Trump comes in the clear winner, even if he doesn’t have the numbers for a lock, and they GOP(e) takes it from him, there is a high level of probability that all those voters will walk out and not vote in November. That means the collapse of the Republican party. Worse, if they take it from both Trump, and Cruz? The collapse will probably travel down to the state levels as well.
A Democrat controlled government will not be good for the average taxpayer. They’ve shown what they will do. Say goodbye to the Supreme Court, the First Amendment, Second Amendment, heck, the entire bill of rights and pretty much the Constitution. After that, who knows? It won’t be pretty, that much I know.
The GOP(e) likes to say that the polls show that Cankles will crush Trump. Those are the same polls that have been so accurate this year? Cankles has a ton of baggage, and in the general election, Trump will open every single bag and show the world what a crook Cankles is. She is not liked or trusted by most of the Democrats. Trump has negatives, however, he is also a successful businessman, with far more wins than losses. Cankles? Yeah, she’s been a disaster her entire adult life.
Where Trump will go the extra mile to help someone, such as providing his own jet to transport a sick child to New York for medical treatment after the airlines refused. (Verified as true by Snopes) There are other stories of Trump helping people when he can. Hillary Clinton? She’s always ready to help out if it involves enriching herself. Doing something out of the goodness of her heart? There are two problems with that. Hillary Clinton is not a good person and is heartless. The only thing Hillary Clinton cares about is Hillary Clinton. All other things, unless they will help Hillary Clinton, aren’t even on her radar.
This country is a mess, and honestly, I think it’s bordering on collapse. Could we pull it out and save the day? Yes, but not with the current crop of idiots in government. Could Cruz do it? Perhaps. The same with Trump. I think he could pull it off with a little luck, some deal making and lots of hard work. Clinton or Sanders?
