not really....no one bothered to run ads in those markets, and super pacs avoided spend on neg-ads in those markets. we're in the end game, folks are being very strategic with cash.
Several fold.... makes for a latino-women ticket - two demo's GOP needs Carly can directly take on Hillary without issue on Gender Card She counters the desire for an outsider business person on the ticket, that will matter to sane Trumpkins Native CA that has run a state-wide race in CA (for Senate in 2010) Great fit strategically. Tactically it counters Trump narrative today. Couple that to his embarrassing policy speech (can I even call it that) today.
...^^^Tote, Trump was not projected to win by the margins he won by. Trump was not projected to receive as many delegates as he did last last night.
completely disagree... works to counter the "inevitable" narrative. why would someone select and announce a VP that it not the front runner? continues to contested convention discussion. Cruz has to message against the major media that is desperate for a Trump nomination as that's the only way they get Hillary back in the WH.
oh and add another thing....now Trump has another woman he has to attack. Its his Achilles heel, and the heal cant help but alienate women. Did I mention women demographic in CA is YUGE?
the analysis i trust was giving him almost all the delegates and >50 with Kasich/Cruz struggling to hit the 20% mark. so I wasnt surprised in the least.
Nobody had him taking 110 out of 118 delegates. I'm all for different thoughts and opinions but people need to start getting over the denial. This race is just about over.
...c'mon Tote...it was a rout. ...will Carly Fiorina help him?...I hope so, but this will also be seen as a sign of desperation by some...I mean naming a VP running mate when you're as far behind as Cruz is? ...but again, it's really about Indiana...Cruz has closed the gap somewhat in the last week but if he does not carry Indiana next week, well, it doesn't look good.
Trump isnt getting the nomination. No denial, its not happening, period. He or a family member is far more likely to expire than get 1237 before the first ballot. book it.
be my numbers i gave him all the pledged delegates in those states. Trump needs to run the table. He's not going to win IN, leaving him needing 130+ in CA, and while Mess' home state of New Jersey will go all in for Trump...he's not getting anywhere near 130 in CA which is essentially 54 different races. no 1237, no first ballot...no first ballot for Trump means Cruz beats him on subsequent ballot(s).
...if Cruz and/or Kasich had denied Trump a few more of those delegates last night I seriously doubt he would have prematurely named a running mate like he did today.
The only way this happens is if Trump doesn't get any unbound delegates which is a fantasy. He already picked up a bunch in Pennsylvania. Simply put those were too many delegates for Trump to pick up last night.
