Trump hits new high 40% nationally in Real Clear Politics poll average
Trump never shared the lead with anyone except Ben Carson last November.
This perfect running mate for Ted Cruz will be 35 in June, so he's just as qualified too, no?

Educated at St. Mark's, Fay School and Maret School, he's probably got the needed residency of 14 years. Throw in his time at Duke and Georgetown if there's any doubt, and I'd say he's a lock.

If true Politico story means Ted Cruz is soft enough on illegal immigration to unite with Gang of Eighter Marco Rubio
Politico reports here that Cruz' people have been pursuing an alliance with Marco Amnesty Rubio for weeks, and more than that:
Over the last week, according to a person familiar with the Cruz team's internal deliberations, the campaign has conducted polling in forthcoming contests — including ... the one on Tuesday in Utah — in which questions are posed about the two running side-by-side.
Trump delegate total rises to 680, which is really 692 at minimum with 12 from Missouri not yet distributed
 |
| bloomberg.com/politics |
That means Trump now needs 52.2% of the remaining 1044 delegates to get to 1237. See the latest Missouri delegate story here.
A number of other delegates also are not yet distributed from races already held, among them:
Oklahoma: 3
Louisiana: 5
Mississippi: 3
Illinois: 2.
With 424 delegates, Cruz now needs almost 78% of the remaining 1044 to get to 1237.
Conservative talk radio won't tell you Cruz is finished, but he was finished already a week ago.
John Kasich, Supreme Court squish, would consider Obama's nominee Garland
Quoted here:
"As someone who's talked about unity, would you take a look at Mr. Garland...if you were elected president?" host John Dickerson asked Kasich.
"Well, you know, he received you know overwhelming support, I think even from Senator Hatch, so of course we'd think about it," Kasich replied.
In other words, expect more liberals on the court from President John Kasich.
If Ted Cruz joins a Donald Trump ticket, Erick Erickson says he won't vote for it!

Sean Hannity will never live down his endorsement of a pathway to legalization after Romney's loss in 2012
He gives forgiveness to Marco Rubio for the Gang of Eight Bill because he wants forgiveness for this:
Dark pools of money spew out bluenoses against Trump
Registered Democrat Obama voter Michael Goodwin, writing here:
For his chutzpah, tens of millions of dollars are being poured into attack ads against Trump, and the urgent blue-nosed concerns about dark pools of money in politics have vanished. As long as he’s the target, all is fair.
Often, the avalanche of sludge against Trump looks and sounds like a reactionary confederacy fighting to keep its power and privileges. Naturally, the mainstream media is slashing away.
A Washington Post editorial claims that stopping Trump is the only way to “defend our democracy.” In other words, those troublesome voters are the problem.
A New York Times columnist raised the prospect of assassination. Sure, it was a joke. Make that joke about Obama or Clinton and see who laughs.
It was the Dowdy yellow journalist who said "Nein", not Trump
Here:
I wondered about ex-wife Ivana telling her lawyer, according to Vanity Fair, that Trump kept a book of Hitler’s speeches by his bed. Or the talk in New York that in the ’90s he was reading “Mein Kampf.” Nein, he said. “I never had the book,” he said. “I never read the book. I don’t care about the book.”
Ranking the candidates by credit scores of supporters: Kasich's have the best credit, Sanders' the worst
Nearly 60% of Kasich's support comes from people with excellent credit (FICO 720-850).
Half or more of supporters for all candidates have excellent credit, including supporters of Trump (who brings up the rear at 49.8%).
Compiled from the story here.
Combined percentages of supporters with excellent and good credit scores / combined percentages of supporters with fair and bad credit scores:
Kasich 86 / 14
Rubio 69 / 31
Trump 69 / 31
Cruz 68 / 32
Clinton 67 / 33
Sanders 66 / 34.
Rubio's in second because of the difference between 68.65% of support coming from from the good side for himself and 68.6% for Trump. Before rounding Cruz trails Trump in each category by 0.5 points.
Flashback: In 2006 Barack Obama sounded just like Donald Trump on illegal immigration

Famous libertarian takes test, finds out he's a LEFTIST
Yet more evidence that conservatives should dump the libertarians, who belong in the Democrat Party, not the Republican.
Former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson took the test at isidewith.com, reported here by CNBC:
"The candidate that most paired up with my beliefs is (Vermont Sen.) Bernie Sanders at 73 percent," the 2012 Libertarian candidate told CNBC in a phone interview this week from New Mexico.
Funny he needed a test to figure out where he really stands. How un-self-aware can you be? Apparently liberalism is more of a mental disorder than we knew, and marijuana-induced hallucinations less revelatory than he knew.
Johnson received almost 1% of the popular vote for president in 2012 running as a libertarian, but continues to insist "that the vast majority of the people in this country are libertarian".
Uh huh.

NYT: Hillary needs a black opponent to win Democrat white men
While Mrs. Clinton swept the five major primaries on Tuesday, she lost white men in all of them, and by double-digit margins in Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio, exit polls showed — a sharp turnabout from 2008, when she won double-digit victories among white male voters in all three states.
She also performed poorly on Tuesday with independents, who have never been among her core supporters. But white men were, at least when Mrs. Clinton was running against a black opponent: She explicitly appealed to them in 2008, extolling the Second Amendment, mocking Barack Obama’s comment that working-class voters “cling to guns or religion” and even needling him at one point over his difficulties with “working, hard-working Americans, white Americans.”
