It appears that Drudge, his pal conspiracy maven Alex Jones, Breitbart, and Fox News along with other allegedly conservative sites are all in for Donald Trump. So much so that they use half-truths and misleading headlines to convey a sense that Donald Trump (with his historically high negatives) is the de facto nominee. Even if the polls show that he cannot beat Hillary in a head-to-head matchup.

Truth be told, Trump has achieve a plurality … but not a majority of the delegates at this time. With John Kasich acting as a spoiler and Trump refusing to debate Ted Cruz mano-a-mano, I believe that Trump will not reach the required 1,237 delegates on the first ballot – unless he strikes a deal with key delegates – and that Cruz may win on a second ballot.

The lynchpin appears to be Indiana and Trumps victories today only indicate that he does well in liberal states with a preponderance of liberal republicans.

What the headline says is a half-truth at this point in time …

You may not be able to mathematically achieve 1,237 electors on the first ballot – mainly due to Rubio and Kasich, but Kasich may not even be eligible to be nominated under existing convention rules and that Trump may receive less than 1,237 electors – thus it goes to a second ballot.

Trump is such a whiney progressive crybaby that he forgets most of the rules were in place since Abraham Lincoln and the state rules were well known in advance of the campaign. While he screams about Little Marco, Lyin’ Ted, and Low-Energy Bush, one must not forget that two-faced Donald lies with impunity like Hillary Clinton. In fact, he as more in common with Hillary Clinton than Bernie Sanders.

We are so screwed.
