Watching Fox News, I see Cruz has 28% and is the winner, but you'd never know it, because it's been "Rubio is the real winner" and now they've been playing the Rubio 3rd place speech for the last 20 minutes.
I noticed this and changed the channel.
Rubio seems to be pushing Trump for second place.
Baby Face is now the face of the GOPe - and the GOPe was outvoted two to one.
Im hitting fast forward on my remote... rubio is still on. The mute button works though.
Both Cruz and Rubio exceeded their last poll numbers, while Trump missed his.
Spin counts. Fox spin is "Rubio WON" finishing third, "Trump LOST" finishing second and, er, the less said about Ted Cruz the better. Anomaly.
Congrats to Ted Cruz and his supporters for a convincing win!
Like him or not, he is currently delivering one hell of a speech.
Yeah I had to turn him off.
Not interested in his lies at all.
Marco Rubio can go to Hell.
Fux News has been dead to me for a long time, but it is good to have confirmation.
I never want to hear the word “Conservative” and “Fox News” in the same sentence again.
I stayed on CNN, cannot stand the sight of Megyn.
That’s what happens when the Democrat talking point bomb thrower Trump spends all his time damaging the other non establishment candidate than fails to win. The establishment candidate now moves into position. Nice work Mr.Vote for me, I’m a winner, we all will win, I’m a winner. I guess he was referring coming in first loser. Btw, Trump will be lucky to stay in 2nd place by the time the votes are completely counted. The storline may end up Rubio’s near first place finish.
Here is the problem with that:
I can still hear Newt Gingrich four years ago saying, week after week, “Once again, Senator Santorum and I split almost two thirds of the vote...” as he concedes another primary victory to Romney.
If it shakes down to Cruz, Trump, and Rubio, will either Cruz or Trump be making the same complaint?
It’s the same on CNN! It’s hilarious. The winner and the runner-up are chopped liver!
The GOPe is going to steal it. This is how they will do it.
There will be all kinds of spin. DO NOT FALL FOR IT!!
Rubio is not the establishment favorite. There will be pressure on Bush, Christie, Kasich, Fiorina to drop out. (Obviously I am guessing.)
Huckabee will probably stab Christian conservatives in the back by endorsing either Trump or Rubio. The only way I will get over his betrayal is if he endorses Cruz. I do not expect that. What a disappointment he has been to me, especially since I even wrote in his name in 2012.
