    I have a bad feeling that the end race is going to be between Hilary and Trump in the end. I may not vote in the election if this is the case because they are both equally as bad. I think I would have to vote for Hillary just to keep Trump out of the White House if those are my two choices. I am really not impressed to see the new president that is for sure. I have never felt this way before for any other election.

    Choosing not to vote is a de facto vote for the Alinsky-Cloward-Piven progressive liberal policies of Clinton and the Democrats, the economy struggling at a putrid ~2% growth rate, and the middle class wage growth continuing to be flat. Just saying.

    It's shaping up to be a Trump vs Clinton battle for the presidential race. Over on the Democrats side, Clinton has pulled clear of her opponents, and it seems that she will not be overtaken in that nomination race. On the Republican side, Trump is holding firm spite of talk of manoeuvres to try destabilize his campaign.

    I think it's been likely that it will be a straight fight for the Whitehouse between Trump and Clinton for a while now. The thing is, while there aren't many people that wanted to see this happen, there's not been any credible alternatives with a lot of support to challenge them.

    This story was posted a few hours ago. Just look at the numbers that gave Trump and Clinton wins in Missouri. Incredible.

    Those board members opining it will be a Trump-Clinton contest could be disappointed, or at least are in for a ride. A bunch of pundits/analysts (whatever) say neither Trump or Cruz can get to the 1237 votes with Kasich having taken Ohio's 66 and a few other states' delegates. The math just doesn't work. If I understand the current convention rules correctly, as obliquely mentioned on one show this morning, those candidates suspending campaigns (effectively dropping out) cannot release their delegates before the convention's first vote. But then again, there are pundits suggesting convention rules may be rewritten. Who knows?

    Even Bloomberg, CNBC and Fox Business are putting their oars in the water. Business news is being given short shrift.

    The campaign should revert to ABH. Anybody but Hilary. Priebus needs to get to work.

    I think the Republican race is going to go on a while. I just see there being too much resistance to Trump to see him get to the threshold for delegates. Of course, if he doesn't get there he's going to cause a scene and stir up a lot of his supporters. It's going to be a very tenuous fall and summer, I could see things turning violent at the Republican convention. Hillary pretty much has the Democrat nomination sewn up. There's a lot of resistance to her, but she's well ahead.
