Trump has played it right again.
FOX skips the debate in Utah next week because Trump is bailing out.
Trump says "we've had enough debates".
He's really sticking it to the establishment. Kasich and Cruz were licking their chops at the chance to take him down. But now that he's built a lead, he's playing it safe. Good for him.
That, and nobody really wants to hear Kasich talk about Ohio for 2.5 hours.
Option 1 is not gonna happen.Quote:

Trump has positioned himself to basically be where the establishment has to get on their knees.
2) That would be the day when the establishment backs Cruz whom they quietly despise more than Trump.
3) Possible, but if the PACS and insiders dedicated to taking down Trump haven't found anything yet, I don't know what Anonymous is going to find.
I actually don't think Kasich could survive 1 v 1 vs. Trump.Quote:

Meanwhile @Hawk, I assume the candidate you were consulting with, is now officially out of the race. Whether yesterday or a few weeks ago/last month.

The ammo being used against Trump in the primaries won't effect his loyalist base, but they are going to effect independents and undecided.Quote:

Even if Trump pivots to the center, he's gone so far right just to win hte nomination, that a shift to the center just would look unrealistic and would probably piss off his extremist supporters more than anything else.
He'll be in until April 26th. That's whne CT, DE, MD, PA, and RI go, and NY will have gone by then too. His best case scenario is to be close enough going into the last rush day which is in June with CA and NJ as the prizes.Quote:

I was thinking Cruz might challenge Sanders to a debate on Fox News. That would be an interesting debate. I could see both candidates going for it too.
The networks would jizz themselves if the remaining five candidates were somehow convinced to do a joint debate. Holy crap...
Ok, this made me chuckle...

I hear the GOP is gonna hand out automatic weapons at the Repub Convention because we all know how more guns would make the event safer. I think it's a great idea.Quote:
