Super Truths-day- The Road to Un-deniability

In the wake of yesterday’s primary results, with both of their respective front-runners, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump having each won seven of the eleven states contested, some undeniable truths have come out for all the world to see.

For Democrats it became obvious that, despite his winning Colorado, Minnesota, Oklahoma and Vermont, there is no way that Bernie Sanders can win the nomination, unless Hillary Clinton is indicted for criminal actions regarding her use of a private e-mail server while Secretary of State, and influence peddling vis-a-vis the Clinton foundation. While the FBI and the Justice Department are deliberately “slow-walking” both of these criminal investigations, hoping that the release of their findings can be delayed until after the November election, President Barack Obama is never going to allow his Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, to proceed with any such indictment, even if he has to issue a full and unconditional presidential pardon on the morning his successor takes office, January 20, 2017. Hence, Hillary Rodham Clinton will be nominated by the Democrats in Philadelphia, this coming July.

For Republicans it has become obvious that, despite Ted Cruz winning Alaska, Oklahoma and Texas, and despite Marco Rubio winning Minnesota, there is no way that either of them can win the nomination, because neither one of them have indicated any willingness to suspend their respective campaigns, to benefit the other. As long as both of these candidates remain in the race, Donald Trump is virtually guaranteed a Republican nomination that is likely his, regardless, because there seems to be no path leading towards his defeat. Add this to John Kasich’s determination to remain in the race until the ides of March, in an effort to win his home state’s primary election, his presence further frustrates the chances of either Rubio or Cruz to ultimately prevail. While there has been a lot of talk about Republican Party insiders uniting behind a “NeverTrump” initiative, this effort will ultimately fail because even these unthinking and selfish party insiders realize that, to pursue this line of reasoning, will only result in the election of Hillary Clinton and the final destruction of the Republican Party. At the end of the day, these resolute and irascible egomaniacs will have to hold their noses and unite behind Trump, because doing otherwise will lead to their own demise.

For the time being, the nominal quests for the Democrat and Republican nominations will continue, if only for the fact that the financial interests of the mainstream media depend on this continuation, but make no mistake that the General Election of 2016 has already begun, between the Democrat nominee, Hillary Clinton, and the Republican nominee, Donald Trump. Hillary Clinton can ultimately win if the Republican Party commits “suicide” by failing to unite behind “the Donald.” That aside, Donald Trump will become the forty-fifth President of the United States.
