The latest Maryland Poll (full pdf below) shows candidate Donald Trump leading in all congressional districts and well positioned for a clean sweep of the state’s 38 republican delegates.  Maryland Primary April 26th.
Donald Trump with 47% support, Governor John Kasich 27%, and the polarizing Senator Ted Cruz rejected by 81% of Maryland voters holding a mere 19% support.

(Via Politico) […]  Trump leads in all congressional districts, though by larger margins in the two eastern districts bordering the Chesapeake Bay, where he leads Kasich 54 percent to 24 percent and just 11 percent for Cruz, and in two western districts, where he holds a 44 percent to 25 percent advantage over the Ohio governor and 23 percent for Cruz. In the remaining districts along the Baltimore-Washington corridor, Trump’s lead is smaller, with 43 percent to Kasich’s 31 percent and Cruz’s 20 percent. (more…)

Somewhat quietly, though not without some water-cooler discussion, the Republican Party Leadership is warning membership to stay away from the upcoming Cleveland Ohio convention.
The media is describing the issue as centering around those elected politicians who may want to avoid the potential for divisive controversy.  However, if you look at the actual landscape, and then look at the political ideology of those who are openly saying they are staying away, what you’ll notice is the RINO caucus, the ‘Decepticons’, are the most cautious.

If you spend some time digging through the professional GOPe messaging, what you’ll note is the party leadership seems fully aware something very dangerous might just come to fruition.  Not dangerous in a violent way per se’, but rather dangerous in a very political and contentious way; there’s very good reason for this.

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan is heading up a National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) fundraiser in New York on April 25th.   However, the venue of the fundraiser is raising some eyebrows:

For those who might not know, the “Ricketts Family” are the primary donors to a Super-PAC specifically created to block Donald Trump from winning the GOP nomination.
Billionaire family Joe and Marlene Ricketts, owners of the Chicago Cubs, have recently given $5,000,000.oo to Katie Packer who heads “Our Principles PAC“, an organization created exclusively to defeat Donald Trump.

Trump Campaign Senior Policy Advisor Stephen Miller joined America’s Newsroom this morning to discuss the Colorado voter-less delegate scam and the state of the race for the Republican nomination:

Michigander Charlie LeDuff has produced an amazingly good boots-on-the-ground video which shows how insufferably connected the chattering class of Vichy Republicans have become.
LeDuff showcases the disconnect by highlighting a series of articles in National Review, and then actually going to the locales belittled by the NRO staff and talking to the ordinary, hard-working middle class people who live within them.
Driving to New York – LeDuff actually interviews the people that NRO is figuratively writing about, the resulting contrast speaks volumes:
“Shocked by their support of Donald Trump, some elitist conservative thinkers are calling places like Garbutt, NY pockets of misery, welfare fraud and dope addiction. They say let these towns die. Turns out Garbutt is not like that at all”.
LeDuff masterfully tells a real life short story and simultaneously contrasts the pontificating arrogance of the Charles Cooke, Kevin Williamson, Rich Lowry and Johan Goldberg types at National Review.  The resulting work is brilliant:

The latest polling (full pdf below) released today positions candidate Donald Trump for a full delegate sweep of all congressional districts:

“It’s not just the statewide results that offer bad news for Cruz. Even outside of New York City and its suburbs, he’s running way behind Trump and even a tad behind Kasich. That means Trump could sweep nearly all of the state’s delegates.” (link)

There are 95 total delegates at stake.  14 delegates awarded to the state winner, and 81 district delegates (27 districts x 3 delegates each).  Any candidate who gets 50% +1 of the vote in each of the congressional districts wins all three of the district’s delegates.  In addition, there is a minimum threshold of 20% for any 2nd place candidate to gain one delegate (if winner below 50%).
Candidate Donald Trump is currently positioned to win all 95 of the state delegates in New York.  In addition, candidate Trump is leading in every demo.

Those of us who have thoroughly researched candidate Ted Cruz (took office in January ’13 and announced his presidential bid in March ’15) have an inherent belief the key issue which will eliminate Ted Cruz, is Ted Cruz himself.
The reasoning is simple: He’s a fraud.
Throughout his life, and in ever circumstance of consequence, the more people get to know Cruz the less they like him.  This is a fundamental truth amid personalities of low character.   Candidate Cruz, a man of very few friends, has a life-reputation -not just in politics- as a self-serving manipulator, liar and schemer.
The more attention is placed on him by the media and political followers the less favorable his position is within any circle of association.  Paul Manafort understands this basic truism; he also knows how to allow Cruz’s phony persona to display itself organically:

In the latest poll from the Keystone state (full pdf below), Donald Trump holds a commanding lead -amid every single demographic- across all Pennsylvania voters.  If the peoples voice in Pennsylvania is represented by their delegates candidate Donald Trump is very well positioned.

Based on the polling cross-tabs, the voters in Pennsylvania appear to have a solid grasp on the false-presentations of Senator Ted Cruz, as he is widely rejected by similar percentages of Men, Women, Young voters and voters across the entire spectrum.
This becomes more evident when you dig beneath the top-line results and look at the cross-tab demographics of the electorate polled. (more…)

In 2015 the National Republican party (RNC) demanded a loyalty pledge from candidate Donald Trump.  Yesterday, the Republican Party of Colorado worked aggressively to ensure that Donald Trump would not be allowed as the party candidate.
Then the Colorado GOP sent the following message:

Here’s are examples of what took place (more…)
