    Are the Trump supporters also the people who are the most enthusiastic about supporting the talk radio hosts (Limbaugh, Hannity, Ingram, Levin, Beck etc.)? Is it the same tantrum?
    We all trust our own unorthodoxies.

      Not Beck. I believe he is on his own Cruz tantrum.

      For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

      Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

        Flipping stations again on the drive to work, and I caught some Laura Ingram. Looks like she is ALL IN for Trump.

        She had some guy on her show talking about Romney's upcoming speech. Apparently he wrote a book about Reagan and was up in arms about Romney comparing himself to Reagan. (When did that happen? Did I miss it?)

        Then he went on to hammer Romney for not serving in the military, along with his father or grandfather. And followed up with something about him taking advantage of Trump's support, but then stabbing him in the back. And on and on it went.

        It was pretty entertaining. The best part was that nearly EVERYTHING he said about Romney could also be said about Trump.

        I'm starting to think crazy is contagious.

          To a significant extent Yes.

            I would guess a good number of them are. Trump twitted out about Romney being a failed candidate because millions of republicans stayed home and didn't vote. Yes Donald, they are the same dumb asses supporting you and their actions gave us Obama over Romney.

              Trump's economic ideas are even more traditional democrat than Hillary's.

                It seems like the republican establishment's strategy is to keep Rubio, Cruz, and Kasich all in to keep as many delegates away from Trump as possible, creating a broken primary. Then screw him over at the convention but getting all the Rubio, Cruz, and Kasich delegates to join forces with one candidate that is not Trump.

                The same sort of thing is happening in the DNC. Delegate-wise Sanders and, the DINO, HRClinton are not that far apart right now until you add in the superdelegates which the DNC establishment all hand picked. I guess at least with the Democrats you know that they are screwing you up front, going in.

                  Yep.

                  Trump’s Super Tuesday performance was impressive, and no GOP candidate can claim he has nearly as plausible a path to 1,237 delegates as Trump. However, Super Tuesday’s results suggest a strategic shift: The effort to stop Trump may no longer call for consolidation around one alternative; it’s now a multifront war led by multiple candidates and disparate factions of the party with the singular aim of preventing Trump from winning 1,237 delegates.

                      Bad plan if it takes all three people to band together to stop Trump while Trump only needs to peel off one of them. Let's say there's 2500 delegates and Trump ends up with around 1000. The Cruz, Rubio, Kasich breakdown is 700, 500, and 300. Any one of those three can just band together with Trump and get the VP spot.
                      Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                        Sure but I'd be fine with that. It would leave the party broken, but not as broken as if they allowed Trump to be the nominee.

                          And then gives his endorsement to Hillary.

                            The deal between Cruz, Rubio, and Kasich may have already been made.

                              low risk. Trump wins any other scenario.

                                Not if Kasich drops out and Rubio and Cruz gang up on Trump.
