  1. Me thinks the GOP contest will be competitive even then because of the number of well-financed candidates who can last longer than in previous years.

    Here’s the real mystery. Pennsylvania is a complex state when it comes to getting eligible with delegate candidates and what not. How does Trump expect to be competitive in PA when he has not developed a boots-on-the-ground organization here.

    He has spent so little money overall that there must be a number of states where he is truly not yet competitive.

    In PA, first day to get signatures on petitions is Jan. 26. The Iowa primary is not until Feb. 1..

  2. I would welcome settling a residual Trump-Cruz “finalist” contest by supporting the latter…and ending the conflict [“winner take all”].

  3. Red State Pennsylvanians given a choice between a Canadian born Cuban from the Canary Islands, Cruz – A Cuban from Little Havana in Miami, Rubio, A Black Neurosurgeon, Carson or The Trumpmeister will be casting their votes for Trump.
