The vaccination thing is just one more example of the marriage of the leftist main stream media and the leftist WH swapping spit and exchanging e-mail.  Circle the wagons and do the cheap carnival trick and keep everybodys eye off the ball.  They did the same thing with the war on women.  The war that never happened while these guys allowed a real war to blossom and become a real and immediate threat. These people can't allow you to be concerned about anything that really matters. Not spending. Not jobs. Not debt. Not security. Not allies. Not taxes. Not the IRS. Not the EPA. Not immigration. None of that matters.  It's all about Ferguson or a war on something or the latest thing to come around the news cycle to keep your attention for a week or two because you don't want a good crisis to go to waste while you're busy pushing your agenda under the radar and around the Constitution.

And so with Brian Williams in mind, I refuse to listen to the talking heads, from whatever party.

In closing.  Christie is a fat whale and Bush is a money man and Paul is unqualified at sight and the rest of them, as the former, are retreads.  Old news.  They all had their chance.  NAME SOMEBODY!  Doesn't matter.  

There is only one choice for the working man. The true conservative leader. The only one who won't back down.  SCOTT WALKER!  Next President.

THANKS BRONX! Thanks for reminding everybody how far ahead of you I am.

CBS/yougov poll among likely Republican voters (Mar 29 - Apr 1)

Wisconsin
Cruz 43%
Trump 37%
Kasich 18%

New York
Trump 52%
Cruz 21%
Kasich 20%

Pennsylvania
Trump 47%
Cruz 29%
Kasich 22%

Just shows how disconnected the media is with reality... Every article is about how Trump is done and his act is over. Yet, even with a tough week, he's holding up in the polls.

Watch a surge in Wisconsin for Trump with all the advertising he's done the last few days. Also the super PAC ads. Independents are going to Trump in WI 37% vs Cruz and Kasich each at 26% based on the fox business news poll a couple days ago.

Trump has a real problem in Wisconsin. He might get less than 10 delegates. He'll take NY. PA is only worth 17 delegates. He's going to have a very hard time getting 1237 and, if he doesn't get 1237, he's done.

You say that now. July is a looong ways away. Lots can happen. Cruz and Trump aren't going to stand around and allow anyone that hasn't won 8 states on the ballot. That means it's a 2 man race.

That's 2012's rule. The GOP votes for a new set of rules every election. If Trump and Cruz are the only ones with 8 wins, that rule won't come back.

"I expect the Rules Committee to require a level of support that would leave only two candidates on the ballot at the convention," a senior Cruz Campaign aide told msnbc.

That committee, which writes the rules governing an open convention, is made up of 112 Republican delegates from around the country. Operatives for Cruz and Trump say they will have major sway over what the committee does.

"The Cruz people and Trump people are fighting hard to make sure their hard-core delegates get on the committee," said Barry Bennett, a Trump adviser.

Bennett said a voting bloc favoring the two leading candidates will run the committee.

"We'll be successful getting at least a majority — or supermajority," he projected, counting Trump and Cruz delegates together.

Both campaigns are backing a rule that would require candidates to achieve a minimum amount of support to get on the ballot, which could block Kasich in Cleveland. That would effectively end his campaign.

Kasich cannot mathematically win the nomination through the primaries, so his only hope is to win on a convention ballot.

"The committee is not going to oppose" a rule that the two leading campaigns support, Bennett added.

"There are only two ways that the rules regarding the nomination process can be changed. One would be a consensus among all the major players, who are Cruz, Trump and Reince Priebus, if they all agree," he said, referring to the RTNC chairman. "The other way would be after a ferocious rules battle in Cleveland that would split the party."

On Sunday, Preibus said on "Meet the Press"that "major changes" to the rules are "unlikely."

I suspect you didn't even read the article. It's a long way off but Cruz and Trump will not sit around and let the establishment steal this thing from them.... If Trump doesn't get to 1237 first.

A Republican presidential candidate likely won’t have to abide by a 2012 rule requiring him to accrue a majority of delegates in eight states to be considered for the nomination should a contested convention occur in July, according to current and former Republican National Committee rules committee members.

“In fact, that's not a rule,” former RNC lawyer Ben Ginsberg — the party's preeminent election law expert — told MSNBC early Wednesday morning. “That's part of what's called the temporary rules. Each convention has to pass for itself the number of states that put a candidate's name in nomination.”

In 2012, revisions to Rule 40 raised the required number of states from five to eight, but no number is in effect for the Cleveland convention, according to Ginsberg. “The 2016 convention and its rules committee has to make that decision,” he said. “So there is no eight-state rule in effect right now for the next convention.”

The groundwork is being laid so the 112 delegates will be a majority Cruz and Trump supporters. If they have a majority do you think they are dumb enough to not keep that rule?

I feel like there's no limit to how dumb Trump could be.

Like it or not - This is another example of Trump telling it like it is... He's calling out for the first time that I can remember (or maybe it's the first time a person hasn't been silenced when calling out) how exactly back room politics are played. The general public are actually seeing what they have thought poorly of for many years. The reason both Trump and Cruz are calling out rule 40 now is because they want the 80% of voters that have voted for them to be well AWARE of whats going on. That;s no small block of supporters looking for a Washington outsider. The establishment will have no choice but to not 'steal' this race from either of them come July
