In before the food fight!

[be-baw]

So far all indications are Ted Cruz is going to have a super Saturday.

[SandRat]

Luv the results...

[ConservativeDude]

Holy moly. Cruz making his move!

[House Atreides]

In before allegation of Ted Cruz cheating & stealing votes.

[GilGil]

The good news is that Rump supporters are not obligated to win for Cruz if he gets nominated.

[datura]

180 vote difference is a crushing defeat....

[Bailee]

Looks like a big day for Cruz.

Should make FL interesting.

[KyCats]

Closed primaries. We’ll now see what kind of support Trump has without dems voting for him.

ROTFL! Closed primaries steal votes from The Donald.

[lee martell]

Ted is about to have one of his best days ever.
Rubio, just seem can’t build up any steam, no matter how high FOX hoists him on their shoulders.

We shall indeed.

[american colleen]

That and the week he had with the sustained attacks on him.

I figured Trump for Maine but you never know.

Hope we can all be civil regardless of what happens.

Cruz can't win without some cross over votes. If you think a conservative base alone can beat Hillary in the general, you're kidding yourself.

If Cruz is the nominee, many, many, many people sit November out.

[mlizzy]

Yes!

Here’s a couple of sites we’ve been following with good [live, or semi-live] information.

Hillary has negatives almost as high as The Donald's. Reagan appealed to independents - why not Cruz?

[Lagmeister]

Kansas, Kentucky and Maine are not voting primaries... they are caucuses.

[ConservingFreedom]

the week he had with the sustained attacks on him.

Of course, the Dems won't do anything like that in the general election.

Question for everybody: Does anybody, no matter whom your candidate is, really think the GOP would not engage in voter fraud to get their candidate? Especially after this week when they went for broke with their concerted attacks against Trump? One of the Florida committe men for Trump has been asked to resign from his University post, and the GOP is threatening to remove him from the party apparatus.
