“REPUBLICAN” RACE TAKING CLEARER SHAPE

GOP frontrunner Donald Trump moved a step closer to securing the number of delegates needed to win his party’s nomination on Tuesday, while Marco Rubio – the last, best hope of a panicked “Republican” establishment – suffered another round of resounding defeats.

Trump convincingly won “Republican” primaries in Mississippi, Hawaii and Michigan – and scored a second place finish in Idaho, a state won by U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas.

Rubio?  He finished fourth in Mississippi and Michigan and third in Idaho and Hawaii.  Even worse for the so-called “Republican” savior, he was completely shut out on the all-important delegate scorecard – and is now a distant third on that count.

With 1,237 delegates in the books – and 1,435 up for grabs – Trump now has 458 delegates compared to 359 for Cruz, 151 for Rubio and 54 for Ohio governor John Kasich, who is clearly only staying in the race in an effort to block Trump in the winner-take-all Buckeye State.

Ohio and its 66 delegates are up for grabs on March 15.  Same with Florida and its 99 delegates – all of which will go to the Sunshine State’s first place finisher.  According to the latest aggregate polling, Trump currently has a narrow lead over Kasich in Ohio and a big lead over Rubio in Florida.

Will Rubio even make it to his home state?

We doubt it …

Our prediction is that Rubio will drop out of the race within days (perhaps even hours) and embrace his former rival Cruz.  In fact after Rubio’s disastrous showing, our guess is the entire “Republican” establishment will rally around Cruz.

I would feel the BERN but I have never seen a black person at one of his events.He is a racist.

He’s not a racist unfortunately, he protested with blacks during the damned civil rights era. Besides, him being Jewish ruins it for us KKK members, right PilF?

Lots of blacks in Michigan though and he won there. ARGH that makes me so mad!

LMAO!!! Sanders sure didn’t get any.Clinton got almost 100% of the black vote in the largest county of Michigan-Wayne County (Detroit).

A real racist has his supporters beat black people at his events.

Exactly! Trump supporters attack minorities all the time. Why else would I be voting for him?

Private events he pays for.When he asks you to leave you need to leave.Illegals should take note.

As usual, you know not of which you write. When Bernie held his rally in Florence, SC last September,there was not a single white person on the arena dais: every guest there was black. He was introduced by none other than Dr. Cornel West.

Good article.Rubio ain’t pulling out however.Bank it.

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump

leads rival Marco Rubio in the senator’s home state of Florida by 20 points, according to a News 13/Bay News 9 poll released Tuesday.

Trump takes 42 percent of the vote, with Rubio receiving 22 percent, according to the statewide poll. Texas senator Ted Cruz receives 17 percent support.

You idiot, we’re opening champagne bottles over Trump.

shifty henry March 9, 2016 at 11:11 am

I’m guessing on an indictment prior to the national convention in July. How would the delegates vote with that hanging over her head? Or, if she wins the nomination and then an indictment falls on her, her trial would have to be prior to the national elections. Otherwise she would take office (if she won) under indictment. I don’t know how that would be handled.

shifty henry March 9, 2016 at 11:13 am

But if she is indicted and then convicted prior to the national election could the Chief Pissant give her a pardon? Could she still be elected? That could be interesting…..

shifty henry March 9, 2016 at 11:17 am

I’m asking Fits to present these scenarios to his legal/ constitutional experts and then give us an article.

Rocky Verdad March 9, 2016 at 11:18 am

Very interesting point. Very interesting indeed.

PilF March 9, 2016 at 12:17 pm

If she is indicted she will have to step aside and let Bernie run.Democrats would be finished.I doubt he could win a state.

Trump didn’t send contributions to the Clinton Foundation? Speaking of fools…

PilF March 9, 2016 at 9:14 am

If he did I am sure he didn’t know it was being run as a mob like/criminal syndicate to launder money.Obama and Biden donated to the Clinton Mob Foundation.

Of course he didn’t.

Is it true that the Clinton Foundation accepted millions from the Saudis, the Muslim Brotherhood? Is it also true that her top aid, Abedin, is tied to the Muslim Brotherhood? Is it also true that Bin Laden and Al Qaeda are tied to the Muslim Brotherhood? Is it also true that Clinton destroyed thousands of e mails? To all those Dems supporting Clinton, be careful what you wish for!

The anti-establishment fervor continues to grow. Rubio, the darling of the established right, is taking a beating. It has also drifted over to the Democrats, on a smaller scale, just look at what Bernie did to Hillary last night.
