He doesn't need Ohio. In leaving sentiment and what people personally want out of it math is simply math. Trump currently sits 107% on target towards the needed delegate count. Cruz is at 69%, Rubio 42% and Kasich 19%. March 15 holds 6 contests and for Trump to remain on his target he would need 272 out of the 367 available delegates. Ohio is a winner take all 66 delegate state so even if Trump doesn't take Ohio there's still 301 delegates in which he's ahead in the polls. Take out the proportion of NC and he would still be on target unless like I said something was to happen in Florida for example.
...actually, everything I've read tells me that Trump really does need Ohio...if he wins Florida but loses Ohio he would need 59% of the remaining delegates. ...if he loses Ohio and Florida he would need 69% of the remaining delegates...if he wins Florida and Ohio he would need 52% of the remaining delegates. http://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/first-read-2016-momentum-shifts-not-math-n534766
I hope the big moneymen on republican side save some money to support the candidate against hillary instead of continuing to throw shit and attempt to damage the one who is leading. Trump has concentrated on rubio so far but after buying him in florida he will be turning his attacks towards cruz. Kasich is a one state possibility in ohio and has no chance. He is currently up 5 in latest ohio poll with trump gaining on him. I'm thinking if trump is the candidate and unless a contested convention happens no one can beat him. I also think Kasich will be the one he asks to be his VP. The republican party needs to be very careful with how their playing this. It looks like the more negative ads and ganging up they do on trump the more the people see this for what it is and are choosing trump and telling them to go fuck themselves. A contested convention where trump has a 3 to 4 hundred or better lead or more that doesn't choose trump will hand the election to goddamn hillary.
On another note I've been saying this all along. Sanders might as well be pissing in the wind because between the media and the absurd super delegate rules the race was incredibly rigged for Hillary from the start. Now I know the supers are not something new but I don't remember any other race where the reported numbers made them such a big deal this early. Basically it's an attempt to disenfranchise voters and lean them towards the candidate of their choosing. http://koin.com/2016/03/08/are-superdelegate-counts-skewing-election-results/
...Ben Carson endorses Trump...whoopty fucking doo. He claims that Trump has another side, a cerebral side, which the side Carson says he knows.,,and Trump even acknowledged it. So in other words words, Trump is not being himself and the Trump we see is essentially posing as someone else?...hmmm, very interesting. ...without realizing it, they are both basically admitting that Trump is a fraud. ...lmao. “There are two different Donald Trumps,” Carson said, explaining why he's throwing his support behind Trump. “There's the one you see on the stage, and there's the one who's very cerebral, sits there, and considers things very carefully. You can have a very good conversation with him. And that's the Donald Trump that you're going to start seeing more and more of right now.” Trump agreed: “I think there are two Donald Trumps. The public version and people see that and I don't know what they see exactly but it seems to have worked over my lifetime. But it's probably different, I think, than the personal Donald Trump. I think -- Ben said it very well today. Perhaps there are two Donald trumps, but well, you know, I'm somebody that is a thinker. I'm a big thinker." http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/ben-...d-trump-weve-buried-hatchet/story?id=37561705
Trump has been his own worst enemy in this joke of a debate tonight. Carson may of said 'cerebral', but we really know he meant 'anal' retentive... Trump's play with rhetoric to manipulate fear first, is getting old. I've seen enough, and don't expect a single simple iota of a honest fact based, specific outline of approach to any issue. His "we gotta' make a good deal first", or - this and that "are bad deals", and "we need a good deal". "I make the deals", and "by the way I'm pretty good at it". His "Good Deals" is beginning to sound exactly like he is a Used Car Salesman, an approach I for one will never trust, ie Used Car Salesmen. High Pressure Sales, you'd think this is another version of Apprentice, so who's getting fired....??? soooo anal, reminds me of this: but in reality, reminds me more like this:
...holy crap...Ben Carson is an expert on education? ...evidently endorsing Trump will get you a promise of a cabinet post. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...nks-ben-carson-is-an-education-expert-oy-vey/
That does IT We are screwed! We are going to hear and see a self centered manipulator of mind boggling proportions
Trump really stepped in it. His campaign mgr assaulted a female reporter with some serious connections, and now this crap in Chicago. Now that these protesters can shut him down, expect this to rachet up. Man is his own worst enemy. Not sure I'd want to be in a Trump property as these have to be terrorist/arson targets the way this is going.
^^^ Yup, and get a load of this BS; ================================ Published March 12, 2016 He also told Greta Van Susteren, "if we had the rally, I think it would not have been a good situation." But, he added, "Our First Amendment rights have been violated." Trump returned to the First Amendment issue in a later conversation with Fox News' Sean Hannity. "I have the right to speak and they (his supporters) have a right to listen," he said. =============================== ...so Mr. Trump, lemme get this straight, according to you, your version of the 1st Amendment is a one way street. You claim you have the right to speak your mind (and of course you do) but others are not afforded that same right and not allowed speak out against you...and if they do, your supporters will resort to violence and sucker punch them. ...great philosophy, Donald.
Here's what frightens me about where this country is and the continued direction. On the Dem side you have a candidate facing indictment and a socialist running for their nomination. Yet, Donald Trump is the one getting protested. Stop and think about that one for minute. Even worse Sanders even with basically running on a campaign that he's going to give away everything for free has absolutely no chance of even coming close to defeating Hillary. Only an indictment can stop her yet she continues to have overwhelming support. Still think there's no establishment or a select few running this country? Stay tuned folks because the worst is yet to come.

By Donald's logic, a would be assassin can shoot him in his toupe draped orange oompah loompah head and cut a GREAT deal by calling it nothing more than a late-term abortion.
...great link, Tote "DOG FART AMERICA I’m reminded of a scene from Don Quixote: A man walks into the center of town and gathers a crowd for the show he’s about to put on. The man picks up a dog and inserts a tube into its ass. The man then begins to inflate the canine like a balloon. The crowd watches, fascinated. The dog grows larger and rounder. Eventually, the man pulls the tube out and the air escapes loudly from the poor pooch’s rectum as it runs away. The performer turns to the crowd and asks something like: “You think it’s easy to inflate a dog with a tube?” That guy may be the best dog-inflator in the world. He may have tapped into something real — the need to see extreme reverse dog farting — but that doesn’t mean we should make him president." ...lmao.
