Whoooohooo partying till it's 1999! Bring on hillary ahahahaha! She can't even get an old man to concede!!!

Trump 2016. Hopefully Nikki Haley will be VP, that would make for a formidable ticket to solidify support among women.

Nope, not the one! He needs to tap the Governor of New Mexico, Susana Martinez.

If he gets a Hispanic, Female Governor on board, Hillary is done ducky.
 
A second thought: Republicans loudly protested the alleged coronation of Hillary Clinton at the beginning of the election season but missed the Donald's. Honestly I think no one could have foreseen the rise of Donald Trump but Cruz, etc. performed perfunctory duty as competitors and not much more.

I'm curious to see what this means going forward for GOP politics. Just because people say he's going to lose the general doesn't mean there aren't lessons to be learned by politicians in the states where Trump won.

:thumbsup: Well played, although I still think Haley would be a good one as well. Pretty sure it's going to be a woman though.

I blame the public school system for creating enough generations of retard to allow this to happen.

That very well may be, considering how public school funding is one of the first to get the axe in most state and municipal districts that enacted tax cuts for the wealthy.

But as far as I'm concerned, the main cause of the Repub Party's spectacular implosion is the concentrated eight year campaign of hate and fear and the deployment of total obstruction against that "not-real-American" President that's about to end his second moderately successful term in office.

That unbelievably toxic effort by the Repubs created the Tea Party from which Cruz, Rubio and a host of other zealot conservative extremists got their chance to get elected and forcibly wrest control of the once powerful and proud GOP from the establishment cadre.

The rest as they say, is his-to-ry. 😉

Cruz was too conservative for the times we live in.

I hope the purity base runs Cruz next time. No one is conservative enough so keep trying please.

Martinez from NM will be a non-starter for her positions and for some of her skeletons.

I am shocked! the party that ran on anti-government, anti-governance, anti-science, anger and hatred against others for so long to great success that their base voters finally decided the establishment has played them for fools i.e. where is the ban on abortions? and said screw you.

Listening to the Media heads saying they can't vote for Trump, they will stay home.

Yeah, Im trying to figure out who is doing the most wound licking tonight?
The media?
They've finally seen the light, that they have been wrong all along.
Or, the republican establishment?
They must now decide if they want a US Supreme Court chosen by president Hillary Clinton or president Donald Trump?

Then we have the Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush, and John Kasich supporters.
Just Monday night several were on the TV news shows swearing that in no way would Ted Cruz lose Indiana. Spin spin spin. They gave their logic and many reasonings why what happened Tuesday night would never happen.
And they too were all grossly wrong.

And then we have Hillary.
Her assumption that she will be the nominee going up against Trump.
So Hillary was not in Indiana Tuesday, Hillary was over in Ohio.
A must win state come November.

What a night...
Everyone seems in shock.
The media still in their full denial mode. And believing that Trump "could" still be stopped.
By whom? Santa Clause? An Alien invasion? Rabid dogs running amuck?
Even the Fox News guys and gals had this streak of terror in their face as they swallowed the reality of Trump the republican nominee.
Yes! Fox News in terror mode.

This was the writing on the wall.
That, if Hillary goes up against Trump in November, she will lose and lost big.
She will lose to Donald Trump. Period!
Democrats, accept it. Then get over it.

Democrats must wake up and understand something here.
That only Bernie Sanders could and would have a chance in hell to stop Donald Trump at this point.
The fight is now over for republicans.
Their worst nightmare has come true and also has come to an end. For them.
Donald Trump will be their guy, and they will have no choice not to rally around Donald. Especially if they have any hopes for a US Supreme Court that is not entirely full blown batshit liberal.
Something that I would love to see, but then again I am not a republican.

Republicans worst nightmare has finally ended and ended very badly for them.
Now, it falls entirely with the democrats.
And their nightmare, for democrats, has just begun.
That being, to lose with Hillary or maybe 50-50 chance of winning with Bernie?
If democrats want to win, they must bite the bullet and go with Bernie.
Otherwise, Donald Trump will be the next president. End of discussion.

Personally I like Hillary, support Hillary, but even I realize that only Bernie Sanders could and would give Donald a run for his money.
Hillary has far too many flaws.
And Trump will take Hillary apart like a mad dog up against bunny rabbit.
Donald has done this before. He has mastered the process.
Donald has been doing this, knocking off challenger after challenger, for some time now.
Donald had become a finely tuned death machine, skilled at character assassination.
Assassination of everyone and anyone that dare go up against him.
And compared to Jeb Bush or Ted Cruz, Hillary will be easy pickings.
Not to mention hubby, Bill Clinton.

If anyone can twist and turn around a past historical successful Bill Clinton administration, turning that into a seemly total failure, Donald Trump and only Donald Trump can do that.
And he will.
And that will work because people forget.
And young voters, Sanders supporters, they can't remember 1992 nor do they care to.

Democrats must now unite and go with Bernie Sanders.
If they fail to do that, they will be as clueless and delusional with Hillary as the republicans have been with Jeb and Ted.

And the media?
At this point whatever they do, say, pretend, spin, it will no longer matter.
They blew it big time. It's over guys.
It's over Chris, Rachel, Wolf, it's all over.
And knowing the media, they will never admit that.
Instead, they will continue living in their bubble of imagination land.
Pressing some pointless meaningless anti-Trump talking point, with endless talking heads to backup their arguments, and in the end will amount to nothing going absolutely nowhere.

We are about to witness a six month nationwide nervous breakdown.
Followed by only one of two possible outcomes.
President elect Bernie Sanders, or president elect Donald Trump.
Hillary is pointless. Entirely moot. Give that up. It only amounts to party suicide.
 
Kasich........what the hell is this guy's game? Still thinks he's gonna be the nominee and stop Trump ahead of the convention. He's one deluded motherfucker. I can't see why anyone would still be funding his campaign, or maybe he's just gonna bleed out the rest of the money he has left.
 
Look at the 26,000 that threw their vote away on people that were not even running anymore:

President (GOP)98% reporting
✓Donald Trump53%589,416
Ted Cruz37%405,581
John Kasich8%83,801
Ben Carson1%8,888
Jeb Bush1%6,484
Marco Rubio0%5,160
Rand Paul0%4,289
Chris Christie0%1,731
Carly Fiorina0%1,486

and Trump was on the bottom of the ballot sheet.

I'm pretty sure Kasich is angling for the VP nod. Trump has never gone after him like everyone else, but I guess that is only because Trump has never seen him as a threat (rightfully so).

Kasich probably doesn't seem to care, either. Trump will need some sort of Ohio or Florida pick to even have a chance of breaking 150 electoral votes.

He won't win, but it will be mildly less embarrassing.
