The Unstoppable Trump & Immovable Hillary

Donald Trump has proved once again that he is the frontrunner by a long shot, in fact Donald Trump received more votes in the Nevada primary than the past two republicans who won the Nevada primary combined. Donald Trump is just racking up those delegates now, and as it stands now I don't think anyone can stop him. Yes a lot of people hate Donald Trump, but if that many people hated Trump, then why does he have such a commanding lead over the rest of the field? I believe that there are a lot of closet Trump supporters, a lot of people secretly love Trump. Is Trump becoming president truly a bad thing? I honestly don't believe so, I personally want to see what Trump will actually do as president, whether or not he will make America great again. But if you don't want Trump to become president then your best bet is for Hillary to beat him, which in my opinion is unlikely.
Hillary Clinton has a massive lead over Bernie Sanders on the democratic side, but Bernie Sanders still has a chance to take it from Hillary. Hillary has begun attacking Bernie Sanders just recently because she has realized how much of a threat he is to her. Hillary has begun (along with Bernie Sanders) to push for the minority vote, pushing a little to far in some cases. Overall I believe there is no chance in hell for Hillary to become president given her previous records (Benghazi). Bernie is too old and too radical for the American people to vote him in. At this point I expect for Trump to take it.

South Carolina and Nevda

On Febuary 20th (this saturday) the Republicans will clash to win the South Carolina Primary, to win crucial delagates.  Since 1980 every republican (except one) who has won the South Carolina Primary has gone on to become the Repubilcan Presidental Nomine. As it stands right now Donald Trump has a comforable lead over Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio with 32% of the preicted votes, while Ted has 19% and Marco with 15%. Still anything can happen during this primary, but I still expect Donald Trump to pull out the victory. Marco Rubio's strong showing at the town hall last night will give him a slight boost in polls.
The same day the Democrats are having a primary but not in South Carolina but instead in Nevada, the Democrats will have their South Carolina Primary on the 27th of Febuary. Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are in a dead heat in this race with Hillary being only a slight favorite. As it stands right now Hillary is expected to win by 6%, but I'd take that info with a grain of salt. Bernie Sanders and his crew have been knocking on doors and campagining like there is no tomorrow. I still however believe Hillary will pull out a narrow victory, whether or not she wins leagally tho. Still Bernie being now considered to be a serious candidate blows my mind considering he is a 74 year old socialsist. But hey free college and free healthcare!!!

Trump and Sanders Triumph

Well Trump continues to show that he is the lead man in this race. Trump won a staggering 38% of the votes winning 10 delegates, Trump beat out 2nd place finisher John Kasich, and in third place Ted Cruz. Trump was, as always gracious with victory claiming that he is going to take South Carolina, and at this point he mostly likely is. Bernie Sanders beat out Hillary (As expected) to win 15 delegates, Bernie got 60% of the vote to just 38% to Hillary. Somehow Martin O'Malley (who dropped left the race) got 0.3%.

Bernie Sanders continues to rack up donation from his loyal donors. In fact Bernie received $7,000,000 24 hours after the polls closed in New Hampshire. The average amount of money donated to Bernie was $27 per person, a stupid amount compared to other candidates. Donald Trump however funds his entire campaign with his own money. Hillary Clinton is pulling out all the stops, even accusing the Sanders campaign of attacking Hillary. At this point the Clintons know that they are in trouble and they will now do whatever it takes to take down Bernie. Bernie knows at this point that he is a serious contender for president, I expect for him to continue to pressure Hillary over time.

The Election as it Stands Now

Wow what a week it was in politics, a lot went down from the Iowa caucuses, to the end of a run for 3 candidates. First off the Iowa caucuses didn't truly go as planned, for one Hillary and Bernie were in a "virtual tie" basically meaning that the race was too close to call. And in typical democratic fashion the race was decided by money... a coin toss, six coin tosses to be exact and some how Hillary won each toss. I call B.S. I don't believe for a second that she won all of the coin tosses, but that is just me. On the Republican side Ted Cruz won with over 41k votes the most in Iowa caucus history, Donald Trump narrowly beat Marco Rubio for 2nd place. Marco Rubio was estimated to to receive
14% of the vote he ended up getting 23%. In other news to know ones surprise Martin O'Malley drops out, Martin had no chance what so ever and he knew it the whole time. Rick Santorum and Rand Paul also dropped out due to their performance in the caucuses. Rand Paul gave it his best shot, but in the end he didn't have the support to continue, I do expect Rand to endorse Ted and make a run for a vice president. Rick was a ticking time bomb and it was only a matter of time before he was going to have to surrender. I believe that Carly Florina, and John Kasich are next to surrender because of their performance in the caucuses.


New Hampshire is next for the caucuses, I predict Ted Cruz to win this next one handily along with Bernie Sanders beating Hillary as well. I also believe that Marco Rubio will beat Trump this time for 2nd place.
