What do you think?JimBowie1958 its over....Trumps momentum is just too much for the other candidates to overcome. Outside of Trump imploding (which some people think can still happen) its just a battle for the #2 spot at this point.
If any other candidate were in Trumps position the media and GOPe would already be anointing them the nomination. The narrative would be entirely different. I think even when Trump is being sworn in as POTUS people will be waiting for him to implode or some how lose
Hey, Republicans, This Is How You Beat Trump—for Real
*snip*
Boil this all down into a communications plan and it looks something like this:
* Commit to attacking Trump until he is defeated. This is key. It’s impossible to beat an opponent with a lead and ability to respond in media without a full-scale effort. No jabs or quick hits. The candidate and campaign must be focused on engaging Donald Trump until he is driven from the field. Risky? Not really. He’s winning and you’re losing. Beat him and you win.
* Control the pace: Trump is accustomed to existing in a comfortable world of his own design. He campaigns at a leisurely pace and has little of the support staff of a normal presidential campaign. To beat Trump, a campaign must take him out of his comfort zone and make him respond on your terms and timetable, not his. Like a hurry-up offense in football, attack Trump in rapid bursts with new, specific charges. Accelerate the pace. Keep him responding and don’t let him regroup. After his stumble in Iowa, campaigns inexplicitly failed to pressure him and he regrouped for the NH win. Don’t make that mistake again.
* Make defeating Trump a cause: If Donald Trump wins, the conservative party will be represented by a Manhattan trust fund liberal with three wives and four bankruptcies who boasts that what’s important is having a “young and beautiful piece of ass,” who loves Canada’s government-controlled health care, and who ridicules the American military as “never winning.” If Trump is what Republicans stand for, the party has walked away from every fundamental value.
* Make specific, blunt charges that undermine the premise of Trump’s candidacy: Donald Trump is Dumb. Donald Trump: What A Joke. Donald Trump Loves Michael Moore.
* When Trump responds, hit him harder and escalate the charge. It’s not just that Donald Trump doesn’t share the values of most Republican primary voters; it’s that Trump is a disgrace. We’ve all seen how Trump responds to pressure, and it’s never pretty. A faulty microphone at a rally in Pensacola, Florida, sends him off on a rant. Predictable questions from Megyn Kelly drive him from the debate stage. This is someone who is accustomed to being treated with respect by unctuous underlings. Treat Donald Trump with the respect he deserves: none.
Ultimately Donald Trump with his tanning goggles cartoon persona and paper-thin ego is a silly person who has stumbled into a serious pursuit. The campaign that takes him on and beats him will grow in strength and likely win the nomination. It’s not hard but no one is trying. Have at it and win.

Your hypocrisy is obvious: you are a far right drone backing a progressive lefty, yet said lefty is going to betray you if he gets in. So you are hypocritical as well as foolish.
