Writes Johhny Kramer: Regardless of what one thinks of Trump, it’s hard to see how this isn’t already over: he nearly won a five-person race in Nevada with a majority, rather than a plurality, and crushed second-place Cruz by 20 points. And for next Tuesday, he leads Kasich in Ohio by five points, Rubio in Florida by TWENTY-FIVE points, and is only nine points behind Cruz in Texas. In other words, at least, two of the three competitors he has left (forget Carson) can’t even beat him in their home states. I disagree with a number of his views, but it is fun to watch the establishment lose control of their process to an outsider. I still say they’re going to try to steal the nomination from him at the convention — and, barring that, they’ll insert a “major” third-party or independent candidate (or two) into the general election to split Trump’s support and install Hillary. Speaking of that, Bernie’s supporters are going to get a lesson in realpolitik this year if he “wins” when the Democratic Party nominates Hillary anyway: the Republicans and Democrats are the same party, and democracy is a ruse to keep us rubes in line by offering us some hand-picked, interchangeable candidates to vote on every cycle. If we manage to pick someone we’re not supposed to in spite of the establishment’s control of the media, then our “betters” will just choose someone else for us. Accept it for what it is, learn to follow it as a spectator sport, and just sit back and enjoy the show.

I generally agree. It's all Kabuki Theater.
The only viable "independent" at the moment is Bloomberg and he would steal from Hillary, not Trump.

I can't read the article on the left, but the headline is hilarious.

The rise of Tramp, sorry Trump, reminds me of the rise of Hitler and the hating of the Jews. Think about it.
