#1 Trumpkins, you bought him, you own him. And all the stupid and progressive/liberal things that he has said and will say.

Good luck with that, you cannot say you were not warned.

#2 The sky is falling. Oh my god! Yes, us trumpkins will get what we wanted. We want out government to listen to us. We want out leaders to stop raiding our national treasure, we want to take care of our vets, balance the budget, put some integrity back in the White House. We want a president that bows to no one but God and mother. We don't really give a damn if he leans a little to the left. Most of America is in the middle anyway. We care that the America we leave for our kids is a strong one, an honest one, a nation that other nations respect and fear. A nation we can be proud of. If that means turning DC on its head for 4 to 8 years I'm all in. The alternative of more of the same will lead to this once great nation failing. Now is the time and no other political candidate wants to fix it, they just want more of the same.

#4 I will always remember this as a turning point in understanding that so many 'conservatives' are like so many socialists who like the facade of democracy but who really only want power to impose their will on others. There are 'true believers' but they are too few to actually accomplish their articulated 'wishes'. Someone actually articulated what so many believed and felt for so long and all he gets is trash talk. First there was the Porkbusters, then the Tea Party and the establishment ignored them or at best paid lip service to them, undermining their candidates time and again. This they can not ignore. They created it. They own it. They have played nice with those who back stabbed them at every opportunity in the Beltway. They only found the will to fight back against those they claim to represent. Those who they claim, no longer buy their weasel rationalizations for not taking the fight to those with their hands on power.

Dear troll, if Cruz couldn't make it to the convention on the primary system, he wasn't going to win in the general election. It would have been Berry Goldwater all over. You need a coalition to win, not ideological purity. Any one of the numerous Trunk candidates could have preempted all of this by openly articulating as Trump has done, but, as with so many Trunks, were/are so afraid of being called racist, heartless, mean, xenophobic. They made him.

I suspect strongly that he will not achieve the office, not because of the vote, but because of a high possibility of assassination driven by the hatred and fear of so many. Welcome to Rome.

#5 Springtime for Hillary and feminism
Winter for business and men
Trump's going to build a wall today
except that his vote fell short today...

Too bad. Would have been fun to endlessly the mock the Trumppets for 4 years.

#7 * I believe this will be the dirtiest campaign in our lifetimes.
* I believe Trump will win in a landslide akin to Reagan's.
* I believe I will change registration to Libertarian.

#8 I just hope Trump hired some good private security.

#9 The presidential debates will be interesting. At least Trump isn't going to be driven by his 'consultants' and refrain from taking the beast by the throat and beating her with Benghazi, Email-gate, Protecting a sexual predator, etc...

Personally I was for Cruz, anyone who will stand on the senate floor and call the Republican leadershit liars has balls of steel. But for me Trump isn't bad.

#10 The way to beat Hillary is to get people to see Hillary for what she really is.
Trump knows it and he's going to go all out for her.
If only the GOP had the guts to do the same they wouldn't be wondering how trump won.

#11 Trump started loosing ground after attacking Cruz's wife and going after Megan. Cruz hammered Trump by saying he is afraid of strong women. The Donald realized his mistakes, met one on one with Megan and said he was out of line attacking Mrs Cruz. From then on he won all contests easily.

The secret here is the power of women voters. Trump will have to convince women voters to choose him over another woman, Hildabeest.

#12 If he can learn to be presidential, but retain his toughness, he's in. If he can be flexible and adaptable, that'll be a big help! [but not wishy-washy or spineless - I am trying to define a fine line!]

Maybe he just needs to be able to say, "I made a mistake" and make it sound like he means it.

#15  What MAN is going to vote for Hillary?I've spotted more than a few Hillary stickers on Volvos, gen 1 Priuses (Priusii?) and early bugs/microbuses driven by swishy-looking man-purse dragging creatures and those with unkempt wild hair and bugged out stares here in the Northwest....Concentrated in Bellingham.
