You couldn't fucking write it better than that. We're quite possibly going to nominate a racist, xenophobic, misogynistic blowhard with zero fidelity to smaller government goals or the constitution or things we said we cared about who is going to harm the party at least in the short term, and if god forbid he somehow got elected cause serious harm to the country. And while we nominate him his fraudulent company is going to be in a trial because he's a gross, fake loser.

Any moment now I'm going to wake up and this will have been a bad dream.

This is the end of the path that the R's started down when they embraced Tea Party racists. I honestly think Trump winning the nomination and being rejected by most of the faces of the party may be better long term than parading Cruz around as a legitimate candidate.


The road started way before the Tea Partiers. It took at least a generation for these chickens to come home to roost.

Thanks to jh this whole time I thought Indiana was today. Imagine my disappointment.

I realize jh made no such claim, but since he was talking so much about the Hoosier state that I thought they must be voting today.

No, you're definitely going to nominate someone who is all of these things.

There's even talk of Trump flirting with the 67% needed in RI to take all 19 delegates (long shot probably)

Especially since he wouldn't get all 19 delegates even if he did get over 67%

Trump's numbers are pretty terrifying. If nothing changes in the next week this could pretty much be over.

Would make all the words drsmooth wrote about Trump definitely not being able to get to 1237 seem like such a waste.

This result is pretty amazing, if Trump really wants the nomination he should drop 5 million in Indiana. That would about do it.

Hope Sanders drops out tonight so that the mouth breathers among his supporters have a solid half of a year to come to terms and vote Hillary in November.
