I think Trump just won the nomination. [View all]

Before I begin, let me say I applaud the anti-Trump protestors' heart and intent. But I think the end result is going to be the nomination of Donald Trump for President on the Republican ticket. This would end a candidate in a sane world, but this is Trumpworld where there is no such thing as bad publicity. And just as a train wreck attacks onlookers, this will definately peel off some of more extreme Cruz supporters and put Trump over the top in key primaries.
