Donald Trump

I like Donald Trump even more now than ever before because of how deep the madness is in the Washington DC establishment incessant Government corruption, to keep themselves in power even when the American people vote against them.

How to stop
Trump? GOP leaders search for a way

The Democratic drama paled in comparison to the existential
questions Republicans wrestled with in the wake of the most significant
election night of the primary. Trump won handily in states as politically
opposite as Massachusetts and Alabama, a sign of his broad, outsider appeal and
energizing impact on voter turnout.
Along with Texas, Cruz took neighboring Oklahoma and also
Alaska. Florida Rubio won only liberal Minnesota.
Despite Trump's commanding victories, many Republican
leaders remained deeply skeptical he could beat Clinton in a head-to-head
matchup in November — and some questioned whether they'd want him in the White
House if he did. They turned to the sort of "break glass" options
once thought impossible.
"Ted Cruz is not my favorite by any means," Sen.
Lindsey Graham, a former candidate whose disdain for his Texas colleague is
well known, told CBS News. "But we may be in a position where rallying
around Ted Cruz is the only way to stop Donald Trump and I'm not so sure that
would work."
Still, Graham also cast doubt on whether elder GOP statesmen
could wrest hold of the situation.
"At what point do you realize the Republican Party is
unorganized -- like the Democratic Party? There's no secret group of
people," he scoffed.
The comments came as #NeverTrump hashtag spread across
Twitter and an anti-Trump Super Pac released a new online video and said it
would increase its daily attacks ahead of primaries on March 8 and March 15.
Our Principles PAC latest attack blasts Trump for not clearly repudiating David
Duke, a onetime KKK member who endorsed Trump's campaign.
Other prominent Republicans called for more drastic
measures.
"It may be necessary for men and women of principle
within the party to set the self-detonation sequence as they escape the ship to
a new party," wrote conservative blogger Erick Erickson. Erickson was
among those calling on the party to coalesce around Cruz.
In his victory speech, Trump sent a clear message to the GOP
establishment, warning to House Speaker Paul Ryan, who had declared earlier
Tuesday that "this party does not prey on people's prejudices," that
if the two don't get along, Ryan is "going to have to pay a big price."
Delegate math would seem to underscore the problem for
Republicans who reject Trump.
For the night, Trump won at least 234 delegates and Cruz won
at least 209. Rubio was a distant third with at least 90. There were still 40
delegates left to be allocated.
Overall, Trump leads with 316 delegates and Cruz has 226.
Rubio has 106, John Kasich has 25 and Ben Carson eight.
The math was also tough for Sanders. Clinton was assured of
winning at least 457 of the 865 delegates at stake Tuesday. Sanders gained at
least 286. When including party leaders, Clinton has at least 1,005 delegates
and Sanders has at least 373. It takes 2,383 to win the nomination.
Top Sanders advisers argue that Super Tuesday was the best
day on the primary calendar for Clinton. But the map will get more difficult
for her moving forward, said Sanders senior adviser Tad Devine.
