    And yet, rejects the candidate who claims to know so much about business and the economy.

    Of course he rejects Bernie Sanders.

    Except Bernie isn't running on his business expertise and "experience"

    Certainly won't be the last. If the Republicans are foolish enough to give the nomination to Trump then he'll lose without even gaining 40% of the vote. In fact, I think Trump would be a lock for being the worst Republican presidential candidate loser since before the civil war.

    If the Republican party doesn't wise up and nominate someone....anyone else then they are going to destroy their party.

    The sad thing is that if I had a company, I definitely would not pick Trump to run it. Unless it was a scam of a company, then I would pick him because I think he'd actually do a decent job in that situation.

    Read where Trump doesn't need Arizona. He will carry California, New York, and obviously Texas.

    Is it time to start a poll on how many here think Trump won't get the nomination?

    Been saying this for a while.

    You sure about Texas? Texas was Cruz country and I would guess lean more evangelical. All my church going family members said they'd never vote Trump after Cruz dropped out.

    I guess you never know. If Julian Castro is her VP nominee, things could get slightly interesting. He would have to probably get wiped during the debates also. By the way those debates are going to be freaking gold. I can't even begin to imagine what Trump could end up saying, especially if he polling far behind at that point. It could be glorious and embarrassing for the United States.

    The money doesn't support about Trump....

    a Clinton Presidency is an easy set up to campaign against and keep control of the The House, that's where tax, banking, investment and industrial regulation legislation is made or killed.

    A Trump administration represents uncertainty and sets up for a progressive/youth backlash.

    I think they want him to run and lose... a sacrificial lamb who says everything against Ms. Clinton they will use in local elections. (that's where the cost efficient payoff is)

    Trump isn't losing Texas. It will be along time until a GOP nominee loses Texas. And while Castro is popular in San Antonio, I don't think he would win a state wide office, let alone take the state away from a GOP Presidential candidate.

    If Castro doesn't get the VP opportunity I sure shouldn't mind seeing him run for Senate or Governor as a test, but even against two weak candidates (Cruz, Abbott) I don't think he as a strong chance.

    So stocks are going down again thanks to Brexit. That was something that Trump said he was for, and bragged about being right about when it happened. Then when he could have issued any kind of stance or policy idea about it, he instead used the opportunity to peddle hotel rooms at his golf course.

    The guy is crazy.

    From the article: Trump’s team is tight-lipped about whom it’ll extend speaking invitations, as is the Republican National Committee.

    So basically people who probably aren't invited to speak at the convention say they are not interested in speaking at the convention... color me surprised! As far as hit pieces goes this is about as dishonest of an article as the ones stating "Marco Rubio refuses to be Trump's VP" when he wasn't even offered.

    Well guess what, even though I bleed Rockets red, I will absolutely not be Rockets point guard because I hate Morey. Quick, someone write an article to bash Morey!
