Donald Trump crushes rivals in Indiana win !
Ted Cruz pulls out of the Republican nomination race effectively declaring Trump as the Republican Presidential nominee.

In his celebratory speech Trump praised Cruz for his courage and called for unity within the Republican party.

He has come a long way since the start of the campaign sounding more" politician "in the process.

Bookmakers odds now have Clinton from 1/7 on to 1/3 while Trumps odds have decreased form 7/2 to 2/1.

John Kasich, last Republican Trump rival, quits race leaving Trump the only candidate and the now presumptive Republican nominee to face Clinton in the Presidential elections.

" Ruptures that have threatened the Republican Party since Donald Trump’s ascendancy a year ago burst into full view Wednesday as the party grappled with the reality he will be the GOP nominee for president."

In the meantime the bookmakers, though increasing the odds on Clinton from 1/7 to 4/11
and reducing Trump's from 7/4 down to 2/1 still have Clinton as the firm favourite to become the next US President.

Remembering that on entering the race Donald Trump was perceived by most as a " joke" anything is now possible. Apparently 51% of voters are females who do not particularly like Trump, the African American as well as the Hispanic vote are likely to back Clinton.

My personal opinion is that November is a long way from now and Trump has more than a fighting chance of beating Clinton to the Whitehouse and renaming the Whitehouse ....as the Trumphouse :lol:

Hillary is a joke. I don't think many will vote for her.

Trump was always going to be a long shot to the White House and despite he being the presumptive nominee for the GOP party now, without the full support of the GOP party, Trump's chances for the White House is becoming even less likely, despite what the odd makers may be saying. What counts is the polls, and the polls have Hillary winning the White House, even though she is not the nominee for the Democrats yet. A fragmented GOP party will only make Hillary's chances to the White House even greater. I believe the establishment within the GOP party is willing to throw Trump under the bus and let Hillary win the elections than lose the GOP's majority in the Upper and Lower house by Trump becoming the "trailer trash" face of the GOP party. That will cause a long term damage to the GOP should Trump win the elections as a GOP. The GOP would rather let Hillary win, in the hopes that they can get her out four years later, after Trump has long gone from the political scene.

...only Bernie Sanders stands between Trump and the White House. Hillary is a Republican voter's dream, if she was not a Democrat; i think she will win against Trump by a landslide, because as time goes by, she will remain a known quantity, Trump's risk of exposing himself as not credible only increase.

...in a way, America is going through a little bit of a rebirth, such division is a symptom of which.

" Donald Trump softens stance on Muslim ban"

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump appears to have softened his stance on temporarily barring Muslims from travelling to the US.
Responding to remarks by London Mayor Sadiq Khan, Mr Trump told Fox News Radio the ban was "just a suggestion".
Mr Khan has expressed concern that he would not be able to travel to the US under a Trump administration because of his Muslim faith.
Mr Trump had offered to make an "exception" for Mr Khan.
Mr Khan refused Mr Trump's offer, saying the New York businessman's views were "ignorant" and would make the UK and the US "less safe"

"Vociferous Trump critic Glenn Beck predicted on his radio show today that Donald Trump would be the next president of the United States.
