Presidential candidate Donald Trump have displayed his dominance throughout the presidential race, and had very well secured the presidential nominee last week after ousting Senator Ted Cruz and Governor John Kasich in the Indiana polls. What was once a far stretched possibility of barring Trump from securing the presidential nomination has now become a washed up fallacy, leaving room for the main event in the projection of Hillary Clinton battling Donald Trump for the President of the United States.
Throughout the majority of the republican campaign race, the candidates were seen as paradoxical; saying absurd remarks towards each other and their policies, all while seemingly glorifying each other’s ideas and characteristics and passing them off as their own. It was a nasty, uncensored and unorganized race in which held no limits. From remarks towards the candidate’s sex life, their wives and their personal ideologies, the Republican Party looked like the world wrestling organization, with Donald Trump as the world champion.
The problem with the republican establishment lies in Donald trump. We have witnessed the uncertainty of Donald Trump declaring to support the candidates in the presidential race, and Bernie sanders removing his support away from the outside world of politicians, claiming that he does not support establishment politics. Although unfazed by any competition he has faced within this presidential election, if Donald Trump was to ever fear losing the needed delegates to secure the presidential nomination, he would break away as a third party candidate and run within a contested convention. Although not common in politics, it is very possible as the Republican establishment does not support Donald Trump; yet cannot risk losing the battle to regain dominance within the republican party through the senate and the presidency, the presidency that Donald is seemingly grasping.
Ted Cruz wasn’t necessarily happy with the decision, but has believed that his downfall is at fault to the media, portraying him as always losing the Donald Trump in the polls, swinging the voter’s perception that Trump is the only sure sighted choice. In a meet up with Cruz just before the Indiana voting polls opening, he expressed that it is up to the citizens of America to make the right choice and decide who is going to fight for you.
He boasted at his success in certain states and reassured his supporters that his father, who was attacked by Trump on the allegation that his father was involved in killing president John F. Kennedy, was not involved in any murderous plot. He stated in the mist of Trump’s comments as “kooky” and labeled Trump as a “pathological liar.” Kasich, on the other hand, announced his suspension later on, acknowledging that it was a fight he just couldn’t win.
So what does that mean for the Democratic Party?
Considering Bernie Sanders is sticking around, we should expect to see another round of contests in California and New Jersey, two very large states that could very well be that final push for either Bernie Sanders to take the lead or Hillary Clinton to secure her dominance. As of now, Bernie’s Delegate count stands at 1454 with Hillary at 2228. Both candidates would need to reach the magic number 2383 in order to secure the presidential nomination.
Although staying in the fight, Bernie insists that he is not impeding on Hillary’s success, but is rather bring more support for the Democratic Party being that they have been losing support of a candidate that will provide for their needs. Whether that is necessarily true or not is up to the voters.
As for Donald Trump, his campaign race may prove to be historical in attempts to overwrite Obama’s legacy and re-structure America from a democracy-oligarchy, into a capitalist-communist nation.
