One of the best comments posted on this picture said "Choosing between them is like choosing which cancer you want to die from." It sounds pretty accurate to me.

Of all the hudreds of millions of Americans and the GOP could only come up with Trump or Cruz? Time to bring back Michael Moore's ficus plant I think! 'Ficus For Congress' Takes Root In 24 Congressional Campaigns (or why not a winner like Incitatus!)

Well, he could run as a Democrat...Unlikely, given that Christopher Walken had endorsed Obama in 2009....

The Fire That Burns Within
An article about Trump from his former strategist:
GOP 'King of Dirty Tricks' on RNC's Plan to Stop Trump
However I like this comment about Cruz.
Still, it's ironic that Cruz, who had no problem shutting down the government, has now been embraced by the GOP establishment, even if it's only superficial.
The fact that all these establishment guys have supported him tells me that what they don't like is Ted personally, not Ted's views. They're perfectly fine with his views, by and large. And that's because Ted's the ultimate insider. He's a Princeton-Harvard globalist fraud, and his conservatism goes back about four years. Before that, he was a Bush Republican. Remember, he was one of George W. Bush's advisers on the Florida recount. His wife was a national-security adviser to Condoleezza Rice. Then she went to Goldman Sachs. Not too many "outsiders" are working at Goldman Sachs. Then, he went out purposefully to reinvent himself as the new Jesse Helms. He comes to D.C. acting like a *****. And I get it — he's building a base. But he's a total fraud.

Something we all already knew....
John Boehner just called Ted Cruz ‘Lucifer in the flesh.’ He does this sometimes.

I can sort of hear the Darth Vader music, and see him stomping off down the corridor of the Death Star.
The reality that Trump is going to be the Republican nominee just hit me.
I'm feeling incredibly sad for this country.

With Hillary Clinton being hailed as the Democratic candidate, I am getting less and less convinced this will happen.
As I mentioned earlier, I have a colleague from the US, who says of himself that he is rather conservative, while still being the most liberal member of his family. He told me he does not care much about the election, however, if Hillary gets nominated by the Democrats, "he just might go out to vote for Trump".

"In the coming days there will be a great reckoning, as the party comes to terms with the prospect of Mr Trump as their standard bearer in the autumn. Some will make peace. Some will despair. Others will say "I'm with her" and reluctantly move to Hillary Clinton's side.
