To each his own. I've raised two children going to the east coast. They love it. The average waves on the east coast trump about anything on the west that I've experienced. That's why God made different terrains and landscapes - so people can enjoy what they like. I like the east coast better.

Me too and just started going to Saint Augustine last year instead of Panama City and found a beautiful beach that had no flags it was so secluded. Even in July, rarely more than ten familes on the beach and could spread out and have your own.

Well guys...had a great day today...my little boy, Sutton, turned one today. Took him to the Zoo for the first time and we had a blast. Everyday I am reminded how much of a blessing he is on my life. It seems like just yesterday he was in the NICU for the first week of his life. Wow...how time has flown.

Sutton and Ashlee have been through more in their first years than many of us go through in our whole lives. Puts things in perspective IMO.

Every time you quote and/or respond, he laughs at you. Some of his bluster isn't schtick but he's running a game on you and he wins every time you bite.

That can be a bit of a misleading stat though (especially since it's been 3-5 man race for much of the primary). That means 39% have voted for him. Has a percentage that big voted for any other single candidate? More than 61% have voted against Cruz, that's for sure.

He and Kasich teaming up might be what it takes to put the nail in that coffin though. Maybe.

Just reflecting on all this. Not a happy camper with any of them at the moment. You appear to deeply study the events of the past as well as the present in this area. So I am not trying to start anything, just curious about your take on it.

Let's pose another way of looking at your point - what if there were only Cruz and Trump, like the Dems have done it? Or what if it was Trump or Cruz versus Kasich? The Dems shut down any others. What if the vote had been consolidated very early in the process to two candidates? Would Cruz have picked up all of the other candidates votes - the 61% you point out? It seems to me Trump understood the GOP better than the GOP did. He charted a path based on what the majority of people clearly wanted for their country regardless of political persuasion while using his moderate to liberal roots in the blue states to move voters away from the Dems. He saw clearly that most people in this country do not want to be Europe or the progressive's one world order. So he used the populism route that was unavailable to existing GOP politicians.

Forget the lunacy of the polls of Clinton versus Trump and the hate Trump stuff for a moment. Those are meaningless until after the convention. Hillary is as flawed and uninspiring as they come. But the truth is no Bern/Hill voter is going to turn out and vote for a conservative Cruz. Only us conservatives did that. For Cruz to win will take the GOP/Trumpsters totally supporting him with the Dems remaining uninspired with Hillary. The Dems have always understood this. However, some of the less party faithful will vote for Trump or Kasich over the stink of Hill/Bern. Will the GOP voter be determined enough to fully support their nominated candidate? Will the conservative leaning voters fully support a Trump candidacy - which is the burning question in all this. The GOP establishment is showing no signs at all that they will.

The way this free for all has been played out appears like the party hinges their belief being correct that the average voter has the attention span of a ADHD child and that they will forget the mess leading up to the election and rally behind whoever ends up the candidate. Somehow I doubt that is going to happen when the GOP establishment elite are already talking about supporting Hillary 6 months before the general election.

Your thoughts?

Fellas, what do I do? On a plane with Coach Martinez. He is checking his personalized recruit guide, contains the 2017 recruits, Rivals pictures and all. He is making a list from his notes on select recruits. He is checking off names on the list.

I recommend sneezing on him and when he looks at you in disgust just say something like, "sorry pal, I'm really sick and the doctors have no idea what it is."

Always a great ice breaker.
