I think Trump will pick a broad for VP. The SC Gov or New Mex Gov might be his VP.

Funny retweet from Matt Taibbi.

Cruz wrapping it up in Indiana is the political version of the "No Mas" fight.

Megan Kelly got totally alpha widowed. She is literally wearing Trump's haircut now.

Between what Trump has done to her, the National Review crowd, Rove, more than half-a-dozen GOP contenders, the media, the experts and everybody else has been nothing short of a true master class in the power of game. We are really living in interesting times, and his art of persuasion goes far beyond politics. If you're a deal maker, your in sales, you want to convince your neighbor, whatever...Trump is a man that must be studied. Truly, one of the history books. Hopefully he can continue to solider on, this is still a long war towards November.

Quote:If we’re looking at the conservative movement on the level of national politics, I think a lot of existing critiques are accurate. Our politicians are beholden to monied interests, both foreign and domestic, rather than the people they represent. We’re far too interventionist abroad. And we have this quixotic faith that the Constitution can ride in on a white horse and save us, even though it’s become clear that the Constitution means whatever five of nine Ivy Leaguers in DC say it means and the powers that be can ignore at will anyway.

Quote:How did Trump end up following you for a day?

Actually it was more like a few hours. But they were a glorious few hours!

In my imagination, here is how it went down. The Donald is up there on Trump Force One, leaning back in a plush, leather built in recliner and relaxing a little bit before his next rally. He comes across my account as he’s scrolling through Twitter on one of his many phones, and he starts chuckling to himself at my timeline.

“Unbelievable!” He says, turning to his beautiful wife Melania, “Melania, these people, my internet people, like this Conservative Pundit guy, they’re completely phenomenal! This is a movement like our country has never seen before, and Conservative Pundit, whoever he is, he’s going above and beyond the call of duty. That’s a guy trying to make America great again!”

And the whole gang is gathered around—Don Jr., Ivanka, Lewandowski, Eric, that one tall guy who runs Trump’s security detail, maybe even Chris Christie—everyone’s cracking up, having a good time. Anyway, while they’re passing the phone around laughing at my bon mots someone accidentally presses “Follow.” Then later, of course, one of Trump’s interns has to correct that mistake because, bless my heart, I may be trying but I’m still not worthy to join the august company of Trump’s personal Twitter follows.

Anyway that’s how it happened in my head.

Great interview. There's one part at the end that I wanted to highlight.

Quote:think the internet generation is producing a whole range of conservative and right-wing positions that will stand up under even the most withering scrutiny and critique, and I’ll do my small part to help drag them into public discourse by hook or by crook.

In the past I was more left wing then I am now though I was never a full blown bleeding heart liberal. I called myself a centrist but if anything I was more close to a Clinton/Obama type of liberal and I did actually vote for Obama in the previous election. I wasn't particularly enthusiastic about being part of the political wing I was in, I really was just there by default because the only sort of conservative thought I had been exposed to at the time was stuff like Fox News, New York Post, Glenn Beck that was full of the typical cuckservative talking points (though this was long before the term was coined) and was typically aligned with evangelical/fundie Protestantism. The only conservatism I knew about was of this type and given how unappealing it was to me I pretty much had no choice to go to the left despite my misgivings for the more extreme versions of some of it's ideas and also despite my own distaste for the snarkiness and snobbery of the people in that camp; I was choosing the lesser of two evils.

Since then I've found that there is a coherent, intellectual right wing philosophy that is opposed to the slave morality and flabbiness of the left and like Conservative Pundit said in the quote above I really have the internet and more specifically this forum and also the rest of the red pill/manosphere and the various groups associated with this corner of the web. I've always been disheartened by the fact that the left has always had "cool" pundits like Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert while the right typically gets stuck with talk show radio which has zero appeal to anyone under 40 so the "hip" right wing ideology that's rising up and associated with people like Milo and Gavin McGiness is what I had been waiting all these years.

Yes and no.

Trump owned her. But he also made her. She's instantly been vaulted into the top-tier category of journalists. She also got a major book deal with some serious big money.

This is a similar thing that happened to Taylor Swift when Kanye interrupted her speech. Her popularity exploded. This was, oddly enough, a testament to the power of Kanye.

Back when I was a journalist, I wrote about how celebrity feuds were engineered to keep celebrities in the news and make their names even bigger because people get to "take sides," giving them more of an emotional stake in the process. Same thing happened here.

Had he not insulted her and been polite, no one would be talking about her now. That insult was the best thing to happen to her, and she probably joked about sending him a thank you note when they sent the advance check for her book.

I just saw the below meme on Twitter. It's not at all directly related to tonight's primary, but an example of the kind of thing that's resulting from the cultural change that's starting to happen. To use an annoying liberal phrase, "The conversations are changing."

A consequence of liberals not reproducing and, thus, dying off is that liberals are importing third world immigrants into America and the rest of the West with the hope that immigrants will vote for their party and policies if they give the immigrants free shit.

Unfortunately for the liberals, their plan is not going to work and in Europe their plan is going to explode (literally) in their faces.

Ok, data from CNN ; http://edition.cnn.com/election/primarie...republican

Trump currently has 1053 candidates, quickly adding up the numbers on my phone ( apologies if there is an error) but the remaining states have 444 delegates available.

If Trump gets them all he is at a maximum potential of 1497.

I predict the Trump campaign prediction of over 1400 will be correct.

Trump has certainly helped her popularity, and has said as much, saying that without him, her ratings would be way, way down. He has flipped the script on her. A lot of people think she is a stuck up bitch. A lot of women I know don't like her. She has become increasingly masculine. The only people that like her are the National Review super-cucks that are hoping for a Clinton win.

She may have more money now, but Trump is going to have the last laugh if he can win the general election. Even though she'd never admit it, even if put on the torture rack, Kelly has soaked her panties for Trump. He's a ZFG Supreme Alpha that didn't take her shit. Then she want to reconcile with him, in Trump Tower, on his turf. Trump made her come to him. That's the power of frame.

Trump! Trump! Trump!

The best thing about this is being able to go through this thread and see who backed Trump from the start.. We were the first ones on that train.. Hell, we didn't even know where it was going.. But we jumped on because we believed and because we are damn intelligent men.

Enjoy it brothers.. Trump is going to destroy Hillary. I predict an on-stage stroke in the 2nd debate.

Just sent that lady on her way and finished eating.

I was reminded of something.


Gentlemen,

Gio echoed a reminder in this thread, now, more than ever, do we need to support Trumps efforts.

We need to be loud and proud about Trump, this will make other who are "afraid" to say they like trump.

We need to start convincing Cruz/Rubio/RNC supporters that Trump is the BEST option for this country.

We need to start working over Bernie bros, showing them there isn't a path for Bernie to win, regardless of his wins.

We need to show them Trump is the next best (better) thing for our country. How Trump and Bernie really have quite a few of the same views on government and political influence by big business/bank/pharma/etc.

Study the Pro-Trump Argument thread religiously, use it to your advantage.

https://www.rooshvforum.com/thread-54697.html

Lastly, gear up, we're on mission now, from here on out to the white house.

This isn't a drill, this isn't an exercise, this is the real deal.

This is a FIGHT for our COUNTRY.

Folks, Trump is officially the presumptive nominee - it's time to pivot to the general election and fight a steep uphill battle against the (HAG) Criminal Clinton political machine.

It's been a pleasure discussing the campaign thus far with you gentlemen - but I think despite everything we've seen, the violent protests, the corporate media smearjobs, the rioting, the SJW triggering and all the rest of it, I think we have only just witnessed the tip of the iceberg.

Buckle up now, we're going to Make America Great Again.

Oh, and fuck you Ted.

Sounds like Nate Silver read this thread:
http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-...all-apart/
Quote:natesilver: To some extent, I think Cruz lost the forest for the trees. His campaign did a very, very good job of rustling up second-ballot delegates at statewide conventions. But he didn’t really have a plan for what it might look like to deny the guy with the plurality the nomination. It turns out that voters may have made the decision on behalf of the delegates to give the nomination to Trump on the first ballot, instead of making us sit on pins and needles seeing what a few dozen uncommitted delegates would do.
...
natesilver: One could say that Cruz is a great tactician but a poor strategist.

It can actually be higher than that.
If dropped out candidates like Rubio and Cruz freed their delegates like Carson did, and the RNC encourages delegates to unify the party, then those delegates can vote for Trump. Rubio has expressed intention to unify the party, so it's possible that he will free his delegates after initially having asked them to be bound to him on the first ballot. It's not improbable that Cruz will also do that.

In that case the number of delegates that are to/want to vote for him may have actually crossed 1237 at this point.

I think we're realistically looking at 10-15% for Trump as it stands now.

One of many reasons Hillacunt is entering as the favorite.

You are dead wrong. Trump will beat the Romney vote, I guarentee it. Remember that many of the Hispanics here don't or can't vote and many of the ones who can vote do not think the wall is all that bad.

Higher class Mexicans, especially those with lighter skin often try their best to hide the fact that they are Hispanic. Many of their kids don't even speak Spanish.

He probably won't win the Hispanic vote but he will do a hell of a lot better than 10-15%. Lay off the media and their bs talking points. They have been dead wrong all along the way.

My educated guess is that Trump does worse than Romney with the "hispanic" vote, but not as bad as the MSM would have one think. Hispanics aren't really a voter block.

The most offended Mexicans/hispanics were already baked-in Democratic voters. A few more that were previously apolitical will come out to vote against him.

The real question is, how many Bush/McCain/Romney-voting hispanics will take issue with Trump?

Florida is the one key state where a poor performance with hispanics could hurt Trump in the electoral college to getting to 270. Most hispanics there aren't Mexican and are traditionally more Republican. Rubio won Miami-Dade 61-22% while Trump dominated the rest of the state. Exit poll data showed that Cuban-Americans definitely favored Rubio, however, non-Cuban hispanics in the exit poll were about half-and-half.

While less strategically important, Colorado and Nevada could be harder for Trump if he performs poorly, although it's key to note that Hillary has always polled poorly in Western States. Rural Colorado is known for having some old guard Mexican Americans who vote Republican.

Most other hispanic voters are in states that were already locked away, blue or red. There were some "Latinos for Trump" at the Costa Mesa rally. I talked to one of my old friends in California, there's definitely some more conservative ideas amongst the older generation Mexicans/Californios of what to do with the illegals.
