Wow, it's really going to be Trump.

[YouDig]

Yeah, we sorta knew this was coming, but this is insane.

[Skittles]

1. it is downright embarrassing

[YouDig]

6. That is what it is. My god. What is happening.

Not that Cruz would have been better, but this is just nuts. We're the most powerful nation in the world, and one of the major parties just nominated a lunatic reality TV star.

[Funtatlaguy]

7. I thought that W was this nations

low point...but, this tops even that.
Donald Trump is the GOP nominee. Wow!

[Skittles]

10. Dubya definitely lowered the bar

now it is so low, someone who has never held political office OR been in the military can be a contender

[RandySF]

2. Every time I see Trump, this music comes to mind. I have no idea why.

[Duckhunter935]

3. Yep

Amd Hillary and her supporters should really not take her win for granted

[Hortensis]

13. We certainly do not. Although we'll never have a

weaker opposing candidate, it's more about whether the GOP turns out for him and in what numbers -- will enough stay loyal -- and of course that bizarre little group of "swing-dings" who won't have finally decided between "The Donald?" "Hillary?" until they actually punch by a name.

A conservative strategist said both parties will be wooing blue collar workers and "soft" and moderate conservatives.

[Duckhunter935]

15. Funny, that is what all of the rebublicans said

Then he handily defeated all of them

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

4. I love it! Bernie has it in the bag!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[CanonRay]

5. I'd have bet the ranch against this

And that Cruz would be the last one standing. So glad. I didn't bet.

[Harmony Blue]

8. Trump is going to have nearly half a year of blasting

Democratic party for being for free trade.

This is going to be a big problem.

[Skittles]

11. Trump, whose own brand is made in Mexico?

[justiceischeap]

12. You're really stuck on the free trade thing

when a lot of Democrats (the majority I think) aren't against free trade...nor are a lot of Republicans. So, if he blasts free trade that often, it seems to me a losing strategy. But what do I know?

[craigmatic]

9. I can't believe that they are this stupid. It's fucking amazing. Hillary is no shoo in though.

[Agnosticsherbet]

14. Why yes, yes it is.

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. I admit to being not at all surprised

we have expected this for months, in fact, over a year now.

But I have taken the donald that seriously... I had a moment of doubt, when he did lose and it looked like he did not have a way to get the PDs well, that momentary doubt went away after New York.

[FLPanhandle]

17. It's great

Trump has no chance in a General Election no matter what the worry warts say. It's a great day!
