“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.

Rubio and Cruz aren’t white bread enough.
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?
Not a black in Vermont.Not a black in his campaign or that votes for him.He is a racist.
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.
The black panther communist Cornell West that has tried to over throw this government? OH MY!!! You’re a nut!LMAO!!!
Good article.Rubio ain’t pulling out however.Bank it.
Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump

I told you months ago people in Florida hate Marco. On both sides of the aisle. But must admit, in SE GA at the moment, and the anti-Trump ads out of FL stations are so funny. Trump U – the gift that keeps giving.
Clinton Foundation is part of DOJ investigation-the gift that keeps giving.
But she isn’t actually being taken to court yet like Trump is.
LMAO!!! Trump’s is CIVIL suit.Clinton’s is CRIMINAL investigation.JAIL BABY!!!
Trump’s still going to court and Hillary isn’t. Damn I hate it that the black peoples’ candidate is making it!
LMAO!!! Trump has really fucked you American haters up!Got ya’ll scared that we may not become 3rd world country.
I don’t hate white America, just like you.
You idiot, we’re opening champagne bottles over Trump.
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.
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…..
I’m asking Fits to present these scenarios to his legal/ constitutional experts and then give us an article.
Very interesting point. Very interesting indeed.
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.
A foundation supported by Donald Trump.
LMAO! The DOJ is investigating Trump? You damn fool.Pathetic.
Trump didn’t send contributions to the Clinton Foundation? Speaking of fools…
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.
Bless your heart.
Act like a lady today and I might give the benefit of my wisdom in a couple of posts.
The fact that a foul-mouthed, angry, hypocritical old man like yourself would question that I am indeed a lady, has made me smile this morning. Thank you for never failing to be the resident village idiot of FITS.
LMAO! I love it when you treat me like you do your husband. :)
You should be so lucky.
:)
As long as he keeps brown people out I’m willing to ignore everything wrong with Trump.
This is awesome. Totally awesome. Great steaks, believe me. Great steaks.
Did you hear Trump’s speech when he was asked what 2 + 2 is? Brilliant guy!
Trump sells steaks.Hillary sells out America.
Trump sold out Americans with his university gimmick. That’s OK though, that’ll teach those liberals for wanting to get an education!
Our prediction is that Rubio will drop out of the race within days (perhaps even hours) and embrace his former rival Cruz.
Sorry Fits.Cruz couldn’t get 40% of the vote in Florida if he was running by himself.
Racists in Florida are getting tired of hispanics!
Just the illegal ones.
Damn illegal immigrants like Cruz.
Actually he is the legal Canadian immigrant son of an illegal Cuban immigrant father.
His father is here illegally? You stupid fuck.
Fits you need to hire new help.
Looks like I hit a nerve! You must support Jewish Bernie Sanders. Can’t wait for Trump to make America white again.
“…DONALD TRUMP CRUISES…”
I see what you did there…
How were you able to post videos on Fits?
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!
We also took plenty from our good friend Donald Trump. He always comes when we call.
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.
How is that romance going between Nikki and Marco? Has she been taking the podium for him anywhere after his loss in SC?
It is over, that was a one night fling in the backseat of American politics.
She ended her national political aspirations with this latest ‘bRomance’. :)
So NBC/WSJ poll – both Clinton and Sanders destroy Trump. Celebration time come on……. it’s a celebration…….Celebration time come on…………there’s a party going on…..
Everybody knows those polls are a joke.Sanders wouldn’t get 30 percent of the vote or win a state once exposed.Trump wins in a landslide over Hillary.
Crazy that polls only seem to be a joke when they don’t support your particular views & are gospel when they do, isn’t it?
Poll: 33% of Sanders Supporters Wouldn’t Vote for Clinton
Wall Street Journal? – 5 hours ago
This could spell trouble for Clinton who will likely need Sanders’ backers in order to win the …
John Kasich said it best in the last debate: “If Bernie Sanders were to be the Democratic nominee, Republicans would win all 50 states.”
Everyone is an expert 8 months from an election.
No one realizes what is actually happening right before their eyes. …stunning…..but predictable….
