Prayers with them.
It has been getting news coverage here, but it should have been getting alot more.
It's looks like a nuclear bomb got dropped in the distance.
Terrifying.

The more you underestimate your opponent the more it will hurt when HRC loses. Just worry about Hilary and not Trump.
I don't underestimate him. But he has a lot of weaknesses, all of which are recorded and will be used against him relentlessly until election day.

How did more than 7 million Americans vote for this guy? We have alot of bad politicians too, but they at least have to pretend to be sane.
I think they're furious with the Republicans. They have been promising that they will end Obamacare, stop planned Parenthood, stop immigration, impeach Obama...etc etc for 7 years, and little if any of that has come to fruition. So now they're angry at their own party as well as the Democrats. That's where a guy like Cruz can squirm in...the only problem was that Trump did it much better.
As for Hillary, I think people greatly overestimate the impact of her "scandals." I've said it before, but it really only fires up the base. I'm sure it sways some undecideds, but most Democrats look at all these investigations and see it as yet another witch hunt led by the GOP. It's not going to change their minds.

Didn't even realize until now that both Cruz and Kasich are out. That makes Trump vs Hillary official. No contested convention. These electoral maps are interesting but like I've said before, this is not your average presidential election. Very strange things have happened this cycle and they're going to get stranger. It would be a crucial mistake to write Trump off. People wrote him off as a joke right off the bat...now he's in the general election. What happens when people write him off as a joke for the general?
I like how Sanders refused to be bought off but agree with those who say he needs to go.
Why on earth did Cruz pick a VP? Bizarre.
I think that Cruz picked a Veep spot out of desperation. He had to play a full hand going into Indiana. He probably saw his poll numbers and felt she would help him win that state. It was all or nothing. Embarrassing in the end though, and odd. I hated Cruz, so I thoroughly enjoyed watching him give his concession speech.
I would also agree not to dismiss Trump. But despite how different everybody says it is (and it is, to a degree although what happens in Republicanland doesn't necessarily mean it will happen in a General) there are some cold hard facts about that electoral map. There are serious demographic issues facing Trump-and they'll use clips of him saying stupid shit all day long. There are also portion of the GOP electorate (while I can't quantify this obviously) who are incredulous and appalled at Trump's nomination.
I'm also going to say that I sincerely don't believe Trump thought he'd ever get this far. I really believe he wanted to shake things up, build his brand, and then dip out when he had to. I say this because his infrastructure is almost non-existent. He didn't want to spend that much money, and as it turned out he didn't need to (thanks to the media).
If I'm correct about that or not, the point remains that now he has to do something he has zero experience in: Build a massive political machine for a general election, and all the other things that go along with it. Without the backing of the RNC on this, I'd imagine it would be quite an uphill battle. Hillary has an extensive network, donors, political operatives, consultants, massive databases etc etc all at her fingertips. Romney's fumbled his ground game, and so did McCain. Obama did the opposite, building the largest grassroots organization in American politics. I'd imagine Hilldawg will be pulling from that database...

Don't be so quick to think the GOP is going to embrace Trump. In fact right now the opposite is happening, they are actually talking about supporting Hillary as a means to preserve their party. They'd rather have her for four years then Trump demolishing the GOP for decades. High up Republicans are saying this today. They are also terrified that Trump will hurt their Senate and House races (and they are probably correct.)
So who is Trump's running mate going to be?

Interesting stuff, but I don't think Hillary wins California. I think that'll be one of the shocker states. New York is also going to go to Trump imo.
California is a lock, just like NY is a lock for the Dems. C'mon man...what are you smoking? You're starting to sound like Lofton suddenly...:haha: (edit Maybe not anymore.)
Like I said, based on what you have there, I see your point. I am crazy, but I don't think Hillary gets Cali or NY. Those are going to be what buries her.
Crazy like a fox alright, haha. Let us revisit this in November!
