    A majority supported "not trump" doesn't take a statistics expert to figure that out.

    Perhaps you are being purposely overly literal.

    Oh, then he does need something from the DNC. I thought you said he didn't, but you now come along and contradict yourself saving me the trouble of proving you wrong. Great.

    The democratic and republican delegates are bound to their candidates for the same very good reason, the voters delegate to them the privilege to represent the view of the voters. They don't delegate the right to override the will of the voters to them. The delegates knew perfectly well what they were hired for when they applied for the job. That sore loser Senator Lee and terrified forum libs don't understand that or don't care about the will of the voters should not be a surprise to anyone anymore

    Good summary of what Clinton represents. Clinton: Crooked and Incompetent

    “You’ve got a situation here where the woman who would be in charge of setting national security policy as president has been deemed by the F.B.I. unsuitable to safeguard and handle classified information,” Bill Savarino, a Washington lawyer specializing in security clearances, told the Times. So many lawyers in this column, so little law.” NYT, Maureen Dowd, 7/6/16.

    There was no "not Trump" running, so "not Trump" got 0% support. There were quite a few others running, but none of them came with 20 percentage points of Trump.

    So Trump was not only the winner, but the decisive winner.

    ABT didn't run either, so ABT got 0% support.

    Of the 55% that voted for Cruz, Ben Carson, Christie, Huckabee, Rubio, Kasich, and the other 10 candidates other than Trump, do you really think that not even 10% of those will support Trump? That 90% of the 55% will support Hillary or not vote?

    You people really do live in a fantasy land.

    Traditionally a party UNITES behind the candidate with the most support as is happening with the Dems.

    But over on the extreme right there is a great deal of dissatisfaction with Tr(oll)mp to the point where leading Republicans are openly stating they won't vote for him or just quitting the GOP altogether.

    As Lincoln pointed out a house divided cannot stand and that is where the GOP and Tr(oll)mp are today. Unfortunately your candidate is DIVIDER rather than a uniter so it looks like you are SOL as far as November is concerned.

    If there is blame to be had, I prefer placing it where it belongs; on the people you call "leading Republicans". Yeah, they're leading all right, leading themselves into the gutter.

    Anyone gullible enough to believe that Tr(oll)mp is their savior is going to be sadly disappointed.

    I guess I didn't realize we were voting for a savior. But of course, that is what you liberals apparently think of your presidential picks, since you choose not to look upon any other higher authority.

    Hiillary will be business as usual, unfortunately, but Bernie failed to prevail.

    As far your great orange hope-a-dope goes he is selling snake oil, as usual.

    If you liked the failed economy of Obama, the failed transparency we were told to expect, the failed foreign policy, failed health care, failed border security,
    failed civil liberties protections, failure to respect the rule of law, failure to run government in a non partisan fashion , failure to safeguard the economic future for our children, etc.then vote for Hillary for more of the same failure.

    Our economy has rebounded since the Bush crash and continues to be leading among other nations of the world. Though we would like it to be better, we're not going to be able to outpace the world significantly given the fact that the world is a major market for our goods - if they can't buy, our growth is limited.

    Health care is not failing - I don't know where the heck you got that.

    Border security has had HUGE success. The number of undocumented residents stopped growing soon after Obama became president and has not grown since. That hasn't been the case for any other modern era president!! In fact, a perfect Wall on our southern border can't do more than stop growth.

    Partisanship is centered in congress, where Republican leaders declared years ago that their number one priority was to make Obama fail. Since then, there has been almost no significant legislation of any kind as Republicans have blocked all ideas while presenting none of their own.

    This is like bragging you are the tallest dwarf in the room. Our economy has been sickly, puny and practically immune to growth.

    There are things we could do today to give business incentives to grow. We have the highest corporate income tax in the world, for instance! Ever wonder how that's good for the nation (other than pleasing jealous ideologues that wish to punish success)? So have I.

    Oh, gee.....http://www.forbes.com/sites/theapot...-failing-at-a-rate-of-nearly-50/#564401181b0a ....I don't know.
    Maybe it's that nothing about Obama Care has worked as promised and advertised. If it was a horse it would be shot. A building and it would be condemned. A marriage and it would end in divorce. A baseball team and it would wind up in the cellar. It is only the partisan left wing willing suspension of disbelief that keeps it going. To scrap this horrid failure would be an admission that Obama, and in turn, the democrat machine, has failed horridly too.

    I thought your last comment was unbeatable as far as raw naked denial...until I got to this point.
    If you believe the same government that lied about Benghazi, Obama Care, the Iran deal, the IRS scandal and Hillary Clinton's email problems then you probably believe what they say about the border.
    I frankly wouldn't believe them if they told me the sun was coming up tomorrow morning and I don't mind admitting it. Only a fool continues to swallow lies after he's been fed a steady diet of them for years. Aside from their assurances there is absolutely nothing to their claims.

    The goal of the other party is always to oppose what the party in power does. And this is pretty much universal throughout the world (notwithstanding some piece of legislation that everyone can agree on).

    The House republicans have sent many bills onto the Senate where they have virtually all been shot down. And then there is Obama himself with his veto pen.
    In a government where the IRS and various regulatory agencies have been sent to harass, fine, abuse and make life hell for the president's foes (like Frank VanderSloot of Idaho, for instance) the idea of partisanship in the Congress is a laugh. If you thought the concept of an enemy's list went out with Richard
    Nixon, think again.

    As a libertarian I don't want unity with the progressive necon establishment.....

    I'm a classical liberal and they're progressives and they can go play in the sand with the other progressives. They're a disgrace to conservatives and republicans...

    They're the elitist establishment and the rest of us are normal...

    Funny considering you don't know a (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) thing about Trump or economics.

    You're right to some extent tho considering Trump would have to rule like a dictator and circumvent congress to get anything done, thank God Obama set precedent for that...

    Yes. Apparently all Trump needs to make law is his phone and a pen. "Pretty neat" as pro authoritarian troll Rahm Emanuel put it.
