I've said it several times already; Trump is the best thing to happen to the Democratic party since FDR. In a few short months Trump has been able to decimate the party Establishment and after throwing millions of dollars into a train load of part clowns they have not been able to make a dent in the Trump anti-establishment bulldozer.
Why? The answer is written on every bathroom wall in every campaign office across the country on both the Republican and Democratic sides. Voters are just plain disgusted (and rightly so) with the status quo and Trump is a clear alternative.
Donald Trump is well on his way to the 1,237 delegates he needs to be the GOP nominee
Democrats need not worry about winning in November if, as it appears, Trump wins the nomination because they have the secret weapon to defeat him; Bernie Sanders.
In a fundraising email, Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver cited polling data that shows Mr. Sanders beating Mr. Trump, the GOP’s White House front-runner, by a significant margin.
The email specifically cited a Huffington Post poll average that shows Mr. Sanders beating Mr. Trump by 10 percentage points, while Mrs. Clinton beats Mr. Trump by just four percentage points.
A Real Clear Politics average of all polls also shows Mr. Sanders defeating Mr. Trump handily — 47.5 percent to 41.5 percent.
“The truth is, it’s going to take more than establishment politics and establishment thinking to beat Donald Trump,” Mr. Weaver said in the email, repeating the “establishment” line that the Sanders campaign often has used in attacking Mrs. Clinton.
“But together, we are building something unprecedented,” Mr. Weaver continued. “That is why we’re doing so well in the polls, and why we’ve seen grass-roots enthusiasm unmatched by any candidate on either side of this primary. Only Trump comes close. And that is why what we are building is what will be required to defeat him.”

VOTERS GIVE REPUBLICANS A LOSS IN NEVADA
The voters have spoken and it wasn't what the Republican Establishment wanted to hear. The Republican party with all it's cash was unable to persuade voters to pick a candidate from their pack.
On Tuesday night, Trump mocked pundits who argue that all it will take to knock him out of the race is the consolidation of mainstream Republicans behind a lone rival – most likely Rubio or, should the Florida senator falter, Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
“They keep forgetting that when people drop out, we’re going to get a lot of votes,” Trump told a few hundred supporters at his celebration at the Treasure Island casino.

HILLARY ORDERED TO UNPACK MORE BAGGAGE
When conversations about who is the best Democratic candidate to run against a Republican one should keep in mind how much baggage they are carrying with them. No doubt the Republicans are paying attention and hope that Hillary will take the prize because in their eyes, she's a gift that keeps on giving.
The campaign will be a barrage of Hillary this, and Hillary that, and Hillary this, and Hillary that, that will last all the way through November. That doesn't bode well if the Democrat Establishment wants a clear path to the White House.

SCALIA REDUX
It's understandable that the eulogies were somewhat exaggerated. The system must be preserved before anything else; even the truth.
The following piece comes from someone looking on the other side of Antonin Scalia.

TRUS-TED?
You know what they say about people that slap you on the back and say "trust me?"
The one and only reason Cruz fired this guy is because he knew Donald Trump would not let him slide another one of those unintended lies to fly by without being noticed.
Even though Ted was chosen by God to run (at least he and his dad think so) this won't deter Trump one bit in keeping Ted honest. Maybe Trump is God's doing?
Ted Cruz announced Monday during a Nevada press conference that he has called for his campaign's communications director Rick Tyler to resign.
The firing comes after Tyler spread a video on social media falsely accusing rival candidate Marco Rubio of mocking the Bible to Cruz's father and a Cruz staffer. After being corrected by several witnesses to the incident, who noted that Rubio was in fact praising the Bible, Tyler deleted his posts and apologized.

WHEN CHRISTIANS ARE NOT CHRISTIAN
When Pope Francis was recently asked about Donald Trump his response was aimed at a much larger audience; 2.2 billion Christians (32 percent of the world’s population)
His message was direct and to the point; just because you proclaim yourself to be Christian doesn't mean you are. A Christian, in the literal sense of the word, is someone who has pledged to live their lives following in the footsteps of Jesus Christ.
Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, sent by God. Christians rely on the Bible as the inspired word of God.
Since Francis took the helm of the Catholic Church in 2013 he has been a staunch spokesperson for the Christian faith and has held many people to the fire in challenging them to put their beliefs into action, and not just talk about it.
To the Billionaires and Millionaires who hoard instead of sharing their wealth he reminded them that Jesus teaches that a camel has a better chance of getting into heaven than they do. (Why Pope Francis won’t tolerate income inequality in America)
To those who preach that having more is better and tailor their sermons to fit the message he reminds them that Jesus taught his followers to give, not take. ("What does the Bible say about the prosperity gospel?")
To politicians that claim they have been endorsed by God he would remind them that politics and religion don't mix. Exploiting God for personal gain is not Christian. Megachurch pastor: ‘Ted Cruz has been anointed by God to be president of the United States'
To those who want to build walls to keep out the less fortunate he urges them to build bridges and invite them in; ("A person who only thinks about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian")

WASSERMAN-SCHULTZ HAS HER "ROMNEY" MOMENT
We have all heard Mitt Romeny on tape, writing off 47% of the Electorate and branding them losers. What he said was vicious and volatile but expected from a Republican pander to people who paid $50,000.00 to listen to that garbage
It's not something one would expect from a Democrat,let alone the Chairperson of the Democratic National Committee.
Because of this system, the Washington Post points out, Sanders could technically win the primary election, earning a majority of the 1,670 delegates determined by actual voting, but still lose the Democratic Party’s nomination, if Clinton gets most of the party’s 712 unelected unpledged delegates.
Critics have begun to ask why this undemocratic system exists. CNN’s Jake Tapper posed precisely this question to Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, an ally of Hillary Clinton who co-chaired her former presidential; campaign, in a Feb. 11 interview. She responded with shockingly blunt honesty.
It's not something one would expect from a Democrat,let alone the Chairperson of the Democratic National Committee.
The topic was "super delegates" and the question DWS was asked in a CNN interview was;
“What do you tell voters who are new to the process who say this makes them feel like it’s all rigged?” Tapper asked the DNC chair.Her response was remarkably both candid and alarming;
“Unpledged delegates exist really to make sure that party leaders and elected officials don’t have to be in a position where they are running against grassroots activists,” Wasserman Schultz calmly explained.
Grassroots activists? Is that DNC code for Bernie Sanders?

Un-Democratic Party: DNC chair says superdelegates ensure elites don’t have to run “against grassroots activists” - Salon.com
Fortunately for voters there is one "grass roots" candidate the DNC Establishment is not going to be able to stop; Bernie Sanders
Sanders supporters demand that superdelegates follow 'the will of voters'
