http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/25/...onvention/index.html Marco Rubio's campaign is preparing for a contested Republican Convention as one option to take the GOP nomination away from Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, his campaign manager told top donors at a closed-door meeting in Manhattan Wednesday night. As Rubio scrambles for support ahead of Super Tuesday, Terry Sullivan, Rubio's top adviser, used a Power Point presentation and took questions from attendees to lay out the two courses that Rubio's quest for the GOP nomination could take in the coming months, two people present told CNN, speaking anonymously to share details from a private meeting. The first showed the number of states and delegates Rubio would need to clinch the nomination outright before July's convention. The second was the scenario in which none of the candidates gain the simple majority delegates needed to clinch the nomination before the convention, unleashing a messy and potentially unpredictable battle where multiple candidates are vying for the title. Rubio spokesman Alex Conant declined to comment. Sullivan did not immediately respond to a request for comment. There were close to some 200 people present at the midtown Manhattan meeting -- and among them were former Jeb Bush supporters, the people present said. ****************** Hope it doesn't come to contested convention. We want someone to clearly win. | |||

That's an impressive video. I feel like his son speaks in more specifics than his father does, though. I have serious reservations about Trump himself, but this kind of evidence lessens them some. ---------------------------- Chuck Norris put the laughter in "manslaughter" Educating the youth of America, one declension at a time. | |||

Seems Ross Douthat, a Republican Establishment columnist for the New York Times, yesterday tweeted (since deleted) “Good news guys I’ve figured out how the Trump campaign ends” with a link to a youtube video showing a fictional presidential candidate in an attempted assassination plot.

Another reason to vote for TRUMP! Al Sharpton might 'get out of here' if Trump wins By Anna Giaritelli (@anna_giaritelli) • 2/25/16 6:41 PM Rev. Al Sharpton told attendees at a Center for American Progress Action Fund event Thursday he would flee the country if Donald Trump won the election, in order to avoid being deported by Trump. Sharpton, a Democrat, had positive feedback for many of the Republican presidential candidates until he got to Trump. "If Donald Trump is the nominee, I'm open to support anyone [else], while I'm also reserving my ticket to get out of here if he wins, only because he'd probably have me deported anyway," Sharpton told attendees, who responded in laughter. Sharpton, who has participated in various national protests condemning police brutality, did not explain why he thinks Trump would deport him, though both New Yorkers have publicly shared their differences of opinion on various issues. The Democrat is expected to endorse Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders for the party's nomination and has spoken with both about their views on issues that relate especially to black voters. http://www.washingtonexaminer....wins/article/2584260 41 41 | |||

| Oh stewardess, I speak jive.  |
If, in addition to crushing Jeb's chances, Trump gets Sharpton to leave the courtry we ought to Knight the man or some such. (not really, but how great would that be... Sharpton deporting himself...)  | |||

Watch Ted Cruz virtually "endorse" Marco Rubios in this interview with Jake Tapper. (around the 4 minute mark) I started out regarding Cruz as my first choice, ideally, and have slowly lost more and more respect for him. I have just about zero now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNCIG9zjbU8 ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

What the fuck are you talking about Joe? Rubio did have a VERY good night. Cruz has made similar positive comments about Trump and did so even in the video you posted. Think critically and less emotionally. Cruz and Rubio have no chance of defeating Trump alone. You are surprised they appear to be cozying up to each other to try and chip away support from Trump? Did you lose any respect for Trump when he changed his tone 100% on Cruz? Or is it a one way street to Trumpville? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

Trump should use his negotiating skills and pull off this combo to run against Clinton: President Trump VP Rubio SC nominee Cruz | |||

Lighten up and laugh |
I don't think he loves Rubio so much as thinks Trump is that bad. | |||

It's a lock for Trump http://nypost.com/2016/02/25/g...whos-scary-accurate/ A New York professor whose formula has proven accurate in every presidential election but one since 1912 says Donald Trump has a 97.6 percent chance — or better — of taking the White House if he’s the Republican nominee. Political-science Professor Helmut Norpoth, of Stony Brook University on Long Island, created a statistical model for presidential elections using candidates’ primary results and other data to predict the victors, and he’s making Trump an all-but-sure thing this year. The prediction wizard told university alumni gathered in Manhattan Monday night that Trump has a 97 percent chance of beating Hillary Clinton and a 99 percent chance of stomping Bernie Sanders, according to the school’s newspaper, The Statesman. “The bottom line is that the primary model, using also the cyclical movement, makes it almost certain that Donald Trump will be the next president if he’s a nominee of the [Republican] party,” Norpoth said at the SUNY Global Center in Midtown. The professor’s formula measures each candidates’ performance in primaries and caucuses to gauge party unity and voter excitement. One major assumption is that a party that has held the Oval Office for two consecutive terms is less likely to win another term. Norpoth applied his model, which he created in 1996, to every presidential election going back to 1912, and it worked for every one — with the exception of 1960, when John F. Kennedy narrowly defeated Richard Nixon. “When I started out with this kind of display a few months ago, I thought it was sort of a joke,” Norpoth said of his 2016 results. “Well, I’ll tell you right now, it ain’t a joke anymore. “You think, ‘This is crazy. How can anything come up with something like that?’ ” Norpoth told the audience. “But that’s exactly the kind of equation I used to predict Bill Clinton winning in ’96, that I used to predict that George Bush would win in 2004, and, as you remember four years ago, that Obama would win in 2012,” he said. The probability of a Trump win is “almost ‘take it to the bank,’ ” he said. | |||
