Donald Trump reached the number of delegates needed to clinch the Republican nomination for president Thursday, completing an unlikely rise that has upended the political landscape and set the stage for a bitter fall campaign.
Trump was put over the top in the Associated Press delegate count by a small number of the party's unbound delegates who told the AP they would support him at the national convention in July. Among them is Oklahoma GOP chairwoman Pam Pollard.
...A tall glass of pure misery.Looks like establishment Republicans will be hitting the bar a little early today.
"No ice, no water, and a very tall glass."
And Hillary Clinton will be clinching the nomination for the Dems in the next two weeks. So, it's pretty much official.
The nominees are Asshole and Asshole.... The winner? Who gives a ****? The loser? The American people.
"I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. You, sir and lady, are no Jack Kennedy. WTF??"

At some point, one would think the Bernie protesters at Trump rallies would start protesting Hillery.Meanwhile, Bernie keeps winning states and losing delegate counts.
They will probably be using that money Trump donated to their campaigns and wondering if he will give them the same praise that he used to should he win the presidency.Looks like establishment Republicans will be hitting the bar a little early today.

I have to agree, it is a strange one.When they do, conservatives will move in and take their places.
What a bizarre election campaign.

Now the GOP just has to pray that if he's ever sworn into the Presidency he'll actually have meant even a small fraction of the conservative positions he claims to have taken. One thing I can guarantee: he's going to set the international stage on fire. If you thought George W. Bush's international policy was bad, you ain't seen nothin.' At that point when the Bush "miss me yet?" meme is passed around again I'll finally answer "Yes, yes I think I do."
We haven't seen good foreign policy in a very long time. and honestly as bad as Bush was on some foreign policy issues, look at the Obama administration and well most of the flubs there were while Hillary was S of State. So we have just circled the drain in that aspect.
So Cruz, who spent years learning how to work a convention, spent a lot of time and money on it, hired the right people, did it well, sees all that work go for nothing.
Sad.
Obama's problem has been a lack of a clear goal in our international policy. He did not, however, single handedly destabilize the entire Middle East nor has he shown the extraordinary zeal for alienating our allies and neighbors as Trump has done. On the ally front, the worst it got with George W. Bush was that infantile freedom fry idiocy. If Trump is sworn into office, then he's eight months out and already he's itching for a fight with Mexico and the UK.
