[h=6]- APRIL 29, 2016 -[/h][h=1]NEW OREGON POLL HAS GREAT NEWS FOR DONALD TRUMP, HORRIBLE NEWS FOR JOHN KASICH[/h]Slate
We now have our first public poll of the Republican race in Oregon, one of three states Ted Cruz and John Kasich divvied up last weekend as part of their delusional, desperate, and likely doomed gambit to derail Donald Trump. The Hoffman Research Group survey will only add insult to injury to the crumbling #NeverTrump movement:
Trump: 43 percent
Cruz: 26 percent
Kasich: 17 percent
It’s only one poll—its margin of error is 4.2 percent; usual caveats apply—but it offers some particularly bad news for Kasich. The pollsters found that 17 percent of GOP voters said they had never heard of the Ohio governor, compared with 2 percent who said the same thing of Cruz and the 0 percent for Trump. Another 24 percent said they had “no impression” of Kasich, compared with 19 percent for Cruz and 11 percent for Trump.
This, remember, is in one of the two states that Cruz agreed to effectively cede to Kasich, ostensibly under the theory that his more moderate brand could prove popular in the state in a one-on-one matchup with Trump. (Though in reality, Cruz was likely more motivated by his desire to clear his own path in Indiana, where Trump’s lead was in the mid–single digits before Kasich agreed to pull out of the state.) According to one of the pollsters, the deal appears to be backfiring in Oregon. “I think that just got a lot of people fed up,” Tim Nash if told Oregon Public Broadcasting.
Kasich is running out of time to introduce himself to Oregon voters. The state primary is conducted entirely by mail, meaning many voters will return their ballots well in advance of the May 17 deadline. And Kasich didn’t help his case, either, when he missed a deadline to have his name listed on an informational flier the state sends out to voters.
To be fair, Oregon isn’t one of the most important contests of the 10 remaining on the GOP primary calendar. State Republicans will hand out their 28 delegates proportionally, making it unlikely to swing Trump’s fortunes drastically either way. (If this poll proves accurate, Trump would walk away with a plurality but not a majority of delegates.) Still, Kasich’s weak polling could convince Cruz to rethink his position—which would further damage a nonaggression pact that has already morphed into a passive-aggressive one. And either way, Trump looks poised to claim a victory in a state where his rivals have attempted to openly coordinate against him, a result that would only further energize his anti-establishment base.

Trump locks down Delaware GOP delegates
James Fisher, The News Journal2:44 p.m. EDT April 30, 2016
No grassroots revolt against Donald Trump's accelerating journey to the Republican presidential nomination materialized, as it has in some other states, when Delaware Republicans gathered Saturday for their annual convention.
Nearly all of Delaware's 16 delegates to the national GOP convention in Cleveland are committed to supporting Donald Trump even if the convention's nominee-picking process goes past a first ballot, Trump campaign chairman Rob Arlett said Saturday.
The slate of delegates, approved at the state party's Dewey Beach convention Saturday morning, is a roster of 16 party activists, elected officials, and behind-the-scenes workers who make the party's metaphorical trains run on time. It includes Ken Simpler, the state treasurer; Richard Forsten, the party's parlimentarian; Rep. F. Gary Simpson, R-Milford; Robert Stout, a Middletown town council member; and Thomas Draper, the founder of television station WBOC-TV.
The delegates are bound to support Trump on the Cleveland convention's first ballot after the New York businessman won Delaware's GOP primary with 60 percent of the vote. According to the party's rules, though, Trump must earn 1,237 delegate votes on that first ballot to clinch the nomination. If he does not, the convention would vote again, and on subsequent ballots delegates could vote their own preferences.
But Arlett said he's been assured that 15 of the 16 party-endorsed delegates would continue to vote for Trump on later ballots, if it comes to that.
"I have been told that we would very likely get 15 on the second ballot," Arlett said. "We have confidence, at the Trump campaign, that they will follow through to represent the will of the people throughout the process in Cleveland."

Stout, one of the delegates, said he was a Ron Paul supporter earlier in the primary process. But he said he felt an obligation, as a delegate, to support Trump even on a second or third ballot.
There were still party activists at the convention who were less than thrilled that Trump was on his way to leading the party towards the November election. Ken Currie, a Sussex County Republican, said he wasn't a Trump supporter, and he said news coverage of Trump's speeches and rallies sometimes made him cringe. Until the late July convention has taken place, he said, he was resisting entreaties to donate to the Republican National Committee.
But, he said, he didn't see any point in trying to keep Trump from the nomination.
"Even if he doesn't get to 1,237, he'll be so close. He'll be so close," Currie said.

Of the 341 possible votes on the delegate slate, more than 300 rank-and-file Republicans voted to send the slate to Cleveland, and eight no votes were recorded.
Charlie Copeland, the party's statewide chairman, said that was a sign the party had decided to unify behind Trump as a presumptive nominee.
"You need to make sure everybody gets the chance to make their statement, say their peace, right? Everybody should be heard within the Republican family," Copeland said. "We’re here to represent Republicans in Delaware, and Republicans in Delaware said, 60 percent and change, we like Donald Trump. And we get it. We’re going to be unified to do that."

"The people of Delaware have spoken, right? That's the will of the people of Delaware. As a delegate, I will support the will of Delaware. I cannot speak for other individuals, but that's my stance." -GOP delegate Robert Stout
At the convention, held in a second-floor Dewey Beach ballroom, Trump lapel stickers were easy to spot; stickers or signs for the remaining GOP presidential candidates, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, were thin on the ground.

If your gonna knock Knight being historically inaccurate try to be
thorough unless you don't know what happened yourself. He claimed
Truman bombed Japan in 1944, Truman was not president in 1944.
We bombed Japan in 45.
Trump gets more bang for his buck: The Donald wins the most delegates for the least amount of money, reveals campaign spending analysis
- A campaign spending analysis by Yahoo compares the number of delegates each candidate has won to the total amount of money spent
- John Kasich has spent the least out of any candidate still in the running, but is the least efficient Republican with $218,301 for each delegate won
- Trump spent less than one fourth Kasich's amount, at $50,152 per delegate
- Sanders' cost per delegate ratio is 44.6per cent more than Clinton's
- Figures cannot be compared across parties since delegate numbers needed to secure Republican and Democratic nominees are different

Trump comes out on top as the presidential candidate getting the most bang for his buck in an analysis comparing campaign spending to the number of delegates won.
Compared to John Kasich, who ranks as the least cost-efficient Republican candidate still in the running with $218,301 spent for each delegate won, Trump has doled out less than one fourth the amount at $50,152 per delegate.
Donald Trump has been lauded for 'saying what he thinks', and Yahoo finance's analysis of campaign dollars shows his controversial statements don't just win votes - they're an efficient way to gain free airtime, driving down costs.

Trump's campaign spending disrupts the previous model equating large sums of money from rich donors, to a higher number of votes won.
The business tycoon's off-the-cuff style and uncensored social media posts have had a polarizing effect, but the tactic has granted him free airtime, effectively saving him millions of dollars in publicity.
In a tally of campaign spending by Yahoo's finance team, Kasich has spent a paltry $33million compared to Trump, whose campaign has cost $50million so far.
Ted Cruz has topped them both with a whopping $112million.
.
While Kasich has spent the least amount of money out of any candidate still in the running, he is also the least cost efficient with 153 delegates.
His low delegate count drives up his spending per delegate figure to $218, 301. Cruz's isn't much better at $199,466 per delegate won, while Trump's is only $50,152.
It is also fascinating to see the difference in Trump and Cruz's Super PAC spending.
Super PACs for Trump spent $3million, which equates to only 6per cent of his total costs, while Cruz's reliance on PACs is apparent with $42million making up 37.5per cent of his total spending.
.
On the Democratic side, both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have spent significantly more than their Republican counterparts with a total of $183million and $166million respectively.
Sanders' cost per delegate ratio clocks in at $122,288, about 44.6per cent more than Clinton's $84,566.
While Sanders has spent $14million more than Clinton, his PACs have only spent $1million, compared to Clinton's $32million.
Clinton has managed to nab bigger states like New York, Pennsylvania, and Florida with higher delegate counts, proving to be a more cost efficient strategy than Sanders, who has picked up 17 smaller states.
Sanders' campaign recently announced it would be laying off more than 200 workers. While advisers have called it a 'natural progression,' many saw the move as a sign to save money given an improbably party nomination.
The spending per delegate ratio should not be compared across parties, since Republicans require 1,237, while 2,383 are needed to secure the Democratic nomination.
Figures have been rounded in the Yahoo analysis, and do not add up exactly.
Trump has also claimed to have squeaked past the 1,000 mark, although some figures show he is still below four-figures.

[h=6]- APRIL 30, 2016 -[/h][h=1]U.S. REP. JIMMY DUNCAN ENDORSES DONALD TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT[/h](Knoxville, TN) April 30th, 2016 - Today, Rep. John J. Duncan, Jr., one of the most senior Republicans in the House and the only Republican remaining in Congress who voted against the Iraq War today endorsed Donald Trump for President.
“With only four percent of the world’s population, we buy 25 percent of the world’s goods. Every country wants into our markets. We have tremendous leverage on trade we have not used. Donald Trump will do that.”
“With 58 percent of the people in this world having to get by on less than $4.00 a day, hundreds of millions want to come here. Our economy and infrastructure could not handle all these people, and this means our immigration laws must be enforced. Donald Trump will do that.”
“Finally, almost all Americans now believe it has been a horrible mistake to spend trillions fighting no-win wars in the Middle East. We must start rebuilding our own Country. Donald Trump will do that.”
“For all these reasons, I enthusiastically endorse Donald Trump for President.”
"I am pleased to have the support of Representative Duncan (TN) who is one of the most fiscally conservative Members of the House. If more Members voted like Rep. Duncan, we wouldn't be wasting trillions of the taxpayer dollars in foreign countries," said Trump.

I will give this old fart a pass for missing the event by one year.
The disturbing thing however is that he is endorsing the NUT Drumpf because he thinks that he will have no problems with
ordering the dropping of A-bombs.
But what is most disturbing is the Republicunt crowd going wild when says this BS.
It sounds like to them Drumpf dropping A-boms is like Old fart Knight taking them to the Final Four finals.
hno:Goes to show you that Republicunts are some "SICK DUMBFUCKS" !!!!!
