Donald trump is now the Presumptive Republican nominee for president. His only opponent in this race, former governor nikki haley, had vowed to stay in the race through super tuesday. And this morning after only winning the state of vermont and the city of washington, d. C. , nikki haley dropped out.

honestly there is political will do do that? i think the republicans how to say in terms of dealing with the president. he won reelection and 230 house members won reelection on the premise of not having tax increases and not bringing in obama care. and people are beginning to realize the massive expenses and regulations and distorting of obama care that obama will do. and so when it goes live in the fall of 2013 it will crush the economy. side track the worst parts now rather than waiting until it smashes the economy. there is it a lot of talk republicans caving in to pressure on the tax hikings. gop has to hold firm until intitlements are cut. do you think that will happen? i think the republicans should tell the president you
