Is it time to talk seriously about a Trump nomination???

"Politics" is not restricted to government. All organizations have "politics" (e.g., "office politics").
Superdelegates aside the delegates are tied 51-51 with Sanders up on the popular vote with all of the remaing democratic primaries splitting proportionally. The superdelegates will swing if Sanders can mount enough momentum. The MSM is certainly counting him for dead though.
I'm a huge Bernie supporter, but the writing on the wall is clear. He's done. Hillary is destroying him in Superdelegates, those Supers have no reason to switch sides anytime soon, and Bernie is about to get crushed in South Carolina. All the polls show Hillary with a distinct advantage for Super Tuesday and from there, she will have momentum on her side. I hate to say it, but feeling the Bern just fizzled out.
What do you guys fear? Trump has reached into the soul of the American people. Politicians and media types have been all too often arrogant in regards to "we the people." I mean ALL media, too. Left, right, and down the middle. The last economic debacle of '08 has made this "elitism" apparent to a majority of the voters in this nation. Remember guys...there is more than a grain of truth to the saying, "the masses are asses!" Trump is smart enough to exploit this basic concept of human understanding.
Like the old Toyota commercial used to say..."You asked for it, you got it!"

I want to believe it will happen but the map isn't set up for him very well and the DNC is certainly in the bag for Hills. It will certainly be an uphill climb, not impossible but, unfortunately, not likely.
SO I SAY BURN THE ESTABLISHMENT TO THE GROUND MR TRUMP.
Cons in 2008: Obama doesn't have enough experience!
Cons in 2016: I love Trump because he's an outsider with zero political experience!
I'm looking forward to the saying "elections have consequences" being thrown around by the Trump supporters. This place is going to be very entertaining.
I voted for Obama in 2008 but lets not pretend that Obama was an 'outsider' to govt. service/politics. He was about as insider as a person his age could be.
I used to change my own oil and pop my head under the hood every once in a while so I guess I should apply for that mechanic position I saw online.
I'm looking forward to being able to complain about everything.
Of the 10 latino GOP voters that showed up at the Nevada caucuses I wonder which one split his/her vote?
Can you tell me what Trump's platform is on... anything? What is his immigration plan, besides brown people are bad and we'll build a big wall? What are his plans to deal with ISIS other than we don't let any Syrian refugees in? What are his plans to bolster the economy other than "I'm good at stuff, I can fix it?" WHAT ARE HIS PLANS?!? He has no plans, and his platform is based on hating Mexicans and Muslims.
At least Hillary is vague about ruining this country. Trump will drive the car off a cliff.
Apparently expecting our President to have at least a vague idea of what he wants to do with the country is too much to expect these days.
He has detailed plans for what he wants on immigration, tax reform which will bolster the economy, trade reform, gun control, and veterans reform on his website. He does have detailed plans to all of these issues outlined. So do a bit of research before you come on here ranting and raving.
I wouldn't call 2-3 pages of details for each major issue, "fleshed out." There's HROT posters who have more depth to what they want.
If you take everything on his website and put it together, you might get 15 pages worth of details. That should is an outline for any decent candidate. Bernie has been accused of being light on the details, but even his website has hundreds of pages of details.
Every politician in the race has a plan. They would be fools to roll out every detail at this point. All that does is give the opposition time to nitpick and criticize your detailed plan to death. Right now the candidates who are front runners only need to speak in very general terms about their plans.
LOL, that's it? He has five positions that look like they were written by a junior high kid who remembered the assignment was due half an hour before class.
Joy joy joy, so much entertainment value. INCLUDING watching blind partisan GOPers like LC squirm and morph, can see it on Fox already. Convention time the evil incarnate that is Hillary and the Dems will have ole LC spewing rage, at the GOP convention Clint will talk to a chair or something and engage ole LCs partisan passion, and by Nov he'll have several thousand posts explaining just how voting Trump is the only rational and moral choice. Probably the only predictable aspect of the race.
Interesting. Never considered, or aware of any punditry considering, a line from Bernie to Trump. Must say the follow-up posts present a coherent argument in justification.
Reminds, and may explain in part, some data/polling suggesting Trump has support in the so-called Reagan democrat demographic.
Well, he certainly has the simple minded xenophobic bigot market cornered, that's for sure.
People are pissed off, it is really showing right now. The thing that Trump has done is excited some people who have not been involved and quit calling the supporters dumb. Just because you don't agree with them doesn't mean they are dumb. I am seeing people in our community who have never been involved getting involved now.
The Republicans and talking heads underestimated him, and the Democrats may do the same. He gets people out to vote and that is what it takes.
I was hoping Marco would get the bid and hope he gets the VP pick.

Unfortunately, this most excellent post will go over the heads of the ignorant and highly partisan folks.
The President of the United States is supposed to be a leader and set the overall direction he wants to take the country in. Career politicians are quick to tell people they have all the answers about everything. That is patently false. No one person can have the solution to every problem. A good leader surrounds himself with experts that he uses to find solutions, and to get the leader's ideas put in motion.
Does the CEO of GM actually assemble the cars? Or do the accounting? Or come up with advertising?
see post 30Conversely an informed person would know exactly what she would do in office. It would be weighing the quintessential establishment candidate against the mystery box.
GOP Latino vote - so, like 37 people?
About 1 in 10 Nevada Republicans were Hispanic. More than 4 in 10 of them backed Donald Trump.

I agree, and I actually can't imagine supporters of anyone else going to Trump before the general election. I think Cruz or Rubio voters will go to Trump when one of them drops out, and he'll get beaten badly from that point forward.
I do wish there were a non-establishment choice that were viable other than Trump, but there isn't. Bernie is the wrong guy, and has no shot anyway.
