Trump wins Michigan, Mississippi, and Hawaii; Cruz wins Idaho. Rubio gets nothing. Kasich is dropping to invisibility. At the moment, Trump’s delegate count is 458. Cruz has 359 delegates. Rubio has 151. Kasich has 54. The rest you can forget about. Florida’s primary is coming up soon. It will be Rubio’s last gasp. Winner-take-all: 99 delegates at stake. If he fails to win his home state, his wisest course of action will be to drop out of the race. Trump will be that much closer to clinching the GOP nomination and avoiding the situation we discussed yesterday. Ohio, likewise, will be Kasich’s last gasp. He knows it.

The GOP elites still don’t get it. The more they conspire, the more the “unprotected” vote for Trump.

Their concerted effort involving millions of dollars to defeat Trump is backfiring. Their money is being wasted, because voters are not buying it.
Nelson Hultberg (Americans for a Free Republic) on Donald Trump.
“What stooges like Mitt Romney and Karl Rove don’t understand is that the American people are not just upset with the slow economy. They are vehemently outraged with GOP humbuggery and Democratic tyranny. They have become like the Romanians who, in 1989 when the Berlin Wall fell, rose up to end 42 years of communist rule by throwing dictator, Nicolae Ceausescu, out of office and then executing him. The pent-up anger exhibited toward Ceausescu and the communists was mind-blowing. This is what is also pulsating throughout America today – full-scale, mad-as-hell rebellion. And what is coming is a dramatic new paradigm.”
I don’t imagine we’ll see any executions come from this but Hillary’s wearing pin stripes wouldn’t be all that inappropriate.

You have to wonder all over again, What are these people so afraid of? Exactly what secret club are all these people in, from which Trump has been excluded?
Do they wonder why many of us have concluded that the Western world is run by a handful of oligarchs, and that the “99%” has no real political representation?
Opening lines of an emailed report sent out by superelitist and arch-neocon William Kristol: "A specter was haunting the [American Enterprise Institute’s] World Forum — the specter of Donald Trump. There was much unhappiness about his emergence, a good deal of talk, some of it insightful and thoughtful, about why he's done so well, and many expressions of hope that he would be defeated.
This neocon, whose father converted to neoconservatism having been a Trotskyite, paraphrases the Communist Manifesto. Surprise, surprise.
"The key task now, to once again paraphrase Karl Marx, is less to understand Trump than to stop him," Kristol continued. "In general, there's a little too much hand-wringing, brow-furrowing, and fatalism out there and not quite enough resolving to save the party from nominating or the country electing someone who simply shouldn't be president."
I do not recall these neocons ever appearing as scared as they are right now. If this is any indication, what will they do if Trump actually gains the delegates and clinches the nomination prior to the July convention? That is when they will likely either fall back on a Plan B and run an independent candidate, dividing the vote and giving Hillary the White House; or simply endorsing (and throwing their remaining money behind) Hillary. The first would ensure a Hillary Clinton victory in November. The second might backfire yet again and put Donald Trump in the White House.
Then what will be their strategy? To destroy his presidency by targeting the fragile U.S. economy? That would not surprise me!
This conservative is supporting Donald Trump. He gives you six reasons why. I don’t agree with everything he says but it’s a good piece and deserves a close reading. (Warning: blunt. But on second thought … would anyone notice?)

Maybe, at some point, when the dirt settles (if it does), someone will have the time and resources to rearticulate conservative ideas. There used to be such things. With such an articulation, there is a small hope that a few more people will see the difference between a conservative and a globalist.
This will be shorter today. This piece is a fitting conclusion. It came to me, written about Donald Trump from someone who knew him in high school (a military school, by the way). This might well sell you on Trump’s being who he says he is, and sincerely wanting what is best for this country even if he makes mistakes here and there along the way (as anyone would):
