Gingrich Calls Trump 'Presumptive Republican Nominee'
Wednesday, April 20, 2016 09:34 PM

Donald Trump's blowout victory in the New York primary makes him the "presumptive Republican nominee," writes former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

In an op-ed for the Washington Times, Gingrich argues that Trump's win in his home state puts him in complete control of the presidential race.

Trump, a New York resident whose business is based in Manhattan, won 89 delegate votes in Tuesday's primary. His main rival, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, did not win any.

Gingrich examines the other two big states to have voted thus far — Texas and Florida — and looks at upcoming primaries in states like New Jersey and California.

"Every analysis of the next few weeks indicates Trump's margin will widen and he will move steadily closer to 1237," Gingrich writes. "Already, he is only 392 short before any undecided delegates, Rubio delegates, and the like are counted.

"These are the numbers of a presumptive nominee, not a front runner. If this were any candidate but Donald Trump, the media would be saying his rivals' efforts were hopeless and the establishment would be pressuring them to exit the race."

Trump has 845 delegate votes, Cruz has 559, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich has 147.

Not everyone in the GOP — including its big donors — is happy about Trump's rise. Gingrich argues that the party must unite behind Trump.

"It is time for the GOP establishment to work with this new reality rather than wage war against it," he writes.

Another progressive hack looking for relevance. Hey Newton. Why don't you take that rat faced woman of yours on a shopping trip to Tiffany's and leave your thought bottled up in your fat head where no one can hear them.

The argument for Cruz winning 2nd, 3rd ballots is reduced, by Cruz dearth of likeability. Voters don't like him, Sen. colleagues don't like him.

Increasingly he comes over as a slick talking, clever, career politician, willing to do anything to block the peoples' choice.

He is making Richard Millhouse Nixon, look like a popular, nice guy.

And Trump's unfavorables are ten points higher in general, much higher with women and Hispanics. And he's gotten not a single endorsement from a US Senator.

Not sure of your point.

I forgot.  That is so long ago and he's not done any active campaigning for Trump so I completely forgot about him.

Point remains.  Trump doesn't compare favorably to Cruz.

It IS time that we operate as a team and direct our efforts to fighting the Democrats and Hillary!  This is the real war - we can't be led into phony battles that are really just diversionary tactics. 

This #Never$hit has to end - it's going to be two parties running for president and one of THEM will win - not anyone from any other party.  That is reality.

If you really think Hillary will be better for our country than Trump, then I can't waste my time trying to debate that.  Hillary is one of the worst people that can ever inhabit that office.  To say Trump would be worse is to say that we are living in parallel universes - our two universes must never collide, or it will be death for us all.
