    I didn't say anything about qualifications. I was only commenting on why he has been winning despite doing everything 'wrong'. And he is under such a microscope of media attention he can't say ANYTHING without the tiniest gaffe or misspeak being blown all out of proportion, or every time he walks into a 'gotcha' setup like he did with Chris Matthews this week, the media will make a federal case out of it and will make no effort to give him an opportunity to clarify or revise and extend his remarks.

    But the fact is that he isn't briefed and scripted with poll tested politically correct answers for everything that has been part of his appeal. And he doesn't claim to know everything about everything off the top of his head that also makes him more real. Does anybody really know everything about everything without having to have staff research it and bring him/her up to speed?

    People are sick to death of the slick, polished, phony intelligence of the professional politicians. They've already given those folks their shot and those folks have let them down in almost every way.

    So again. Love him or hate him, Trump is who he is. And in a lot of people's mind, we might as well give him a shot because the professional pols sure as heck haven't delivered on their promises.

    That may be so, but I wouldn't dismiss Trump because of WI. I have to argue there is more show for us all before Trump bows out. :)

    Nothing like a false dichotomy to further the conversation. I get it though. You're a trump fan. It's hard to logically defend your position.

    Sometimes I get the feeling that Trump knows he's a dumbass. Cruz on the other hand takes himself very seriously. Listening to either of them is like fingernails down a chalk board.

    Wow I'm dumbfounded. Trump is more real??? Seriously? It's not that he needs to know everything but he needs to know something! And lets be "real" the things he's not an expert in, he should still have at least a very basic understanding of. Yeah, people are sick to death. I am too. I'm one of those middle class people who are being squeezed to death. But I don't believe for a second that Trump is a person that is going to change anything for the better.
    "Might as well give him a shot." That's a resounding endorsement, completely void of any reasoning. Cruz gives us the best shot at getting this country back on track. Just because he seems to be hindered by the rules Trump ignores does not make him the lesser candidate.

    I have not chosen my preferred candidate yet and don't have to for another two months. I have been watching the phenomenon of a Donald Trump and a dedicated extreme leftist socialist from Vermont catch the imagination of people who never before took such intense interest in a presidential campaign. Certainly Donald Trump is more qualified than a Barack Obama was and he has been vetted a thousand times more than the media vetted Obama.

    If I had to vote today, I in fact would probably vote for Cruz, but I would have to hold my nose because he has demonstrated some pretty disturbing ethics in the campaign promise and has shaken my faith that his character is something to admire. I would vote for him pure because I am pretty sure what sort of supreme court justices he would nominate and Trump has not been vetted at all on that issue.

    But if it is fated that Donald Trump is the nominee, I would vote for him in a heartbeat, and would do it without having to hold my nose, because I am confident he would be head and shoulders superior to Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders as POTUS and would do far less damage to the country.

    The fact fools think there are job requirements for a job that was made for ANYONE to try and achieve is interesting.

    But I am not a trump fan. Nothing like a piece of trash who cant stand anyone not voting for their own choice. I get it though, you're a liberal. You probably illogically think your the opposite sex or something, and are completely confused. Say hi to Jenner and that unicorn you believe is real.

    This is the same guy who thinks theres a job requirement to be president.

    Trump need only 5XX delegates to reach the number and there are 944 delegates left, but guys dont think he will hit 1237.

    Thats an odd claim.

    No you absolutely did not answer it, you responded but you did not answer. Stop lying. And its not that I don't like it, I love it. Who doesn't like making their point perfectly by making the other guy refuse to answer an on point valid question? Not me. You losing in front of everyone is great!
    Have a nice day.

    Wow. Do all lefties think badly of the poorly educated? I thought you lefties were supposed to be helping the poorly educated? I guess not so much eh? Can you tell us more about how you feel about the poorly educated?
    Its good to see that the poorly educated can at least read the public blurted comments of leftists so that they can see what they really think about them.
    To the poorly educated people out there, this is what leftists really think of you.

    The propaganda arm of the Democrat Party leading the 7:00 hour with a 15 minute hit piece on Trump per usual. They have the fat black woman talking with some gay Pajama Boy and bringing up nonsense like the David Duke endorsement'......which people without a journalism degree know didn't happen. Pajama Boy making the 'astute' observation that this may have hurt Trump amongst 'people of color'........but, 'unfortunately' the upcoming primaries involve mostly White folks........funny stuff. They seem to have dropped the whole '15 year old got maced at a Trump rally' nonsense.......since it looks like she is the one being charged..........LOL at the silliness.

    Statistical dead heat. And anyone who wants a contested convention is a fool who doesn't believe in democracy. (In most democracies, the candidate with the most votes wins. It's banana republics that typically make a mockery of democracy and appoint el'Presidente after he gets 10% of the vote. )
