Cruz had the arrogance to think he was going to win the South. He did not campaign much Trump did and won

That is why I say Trump will win. This Chicago circus will piss people off to such an extent that Trump wins. It’s an anger thing.

This is obvious.

Cruz wants Rubio and Kasich to lose. That way it is one on one. He pulls out of Florida because Trump is going to win.

He is still running hard in Ohio because he does not want Kasich to win and he feels his votes could go to Kasich.

One on one Cruz wins.

Constitution preacher? You say it in a way that shows disdain for the constitution. I don’t think any of them other than Cruz could cite what the first 5 amendments are or what they mean. What’s sad is for the president I’d EXPECT that of them. I can be certain at almost 100% Trump sure as hell wouldn’t be able to.

But hey it isn’t about being conservative, he’ll it isn’t even about requiring that a canidate have any history of being what one expresses (a republican at that). Today it’s about being shocked, about being entertained, about watching a feed of valid Twitter updates to salivate in great joy when one gets one upped. This election has been one giant clown car show of epic proportions based on slogans and lacking any details on how things get fixed and that includes all of them. Nothing but whining, sniping, and being school kids. No wonder those between 18 and 22 are very engaged because each one of them are speaking at their immaturity level.

The whole damn thing is sickening

I am curious. Trump had two rallys in Ohio today. 20,000 and 25,000 people. Every Kasich rally looks like it is taking place in a library or someones kitchen. How does this spell win for Kasich?

Quite possibly the best description of this election. Don’t get discouraged, come Wednesday there will be a whole new world.

It does not amaze you that Trump is the only one running for President? The others are running to beat Trump. I have voted for almost 50 years and never seen a campaign based on trying to take down one man. Sick!

re: rally size

Kasich is a known quantity in OH. I can't imagine many of those who support him would see any point in going to a rally.

All I'm saying is we really don't know. OH has so many different parts that it's tough to poll. Add to that Kasich has a real good ad campaign.

No this is the second phase of caucusing. These are the delegates that were voted in as delegates a couple weeks ago. These vote for the National delegates at the county convention. The remaining get voted in at state convention by these same delegates.

Trump loses where the least people vote.

Sounds like a winning plan for Cruz. /sarc

All kidding aside, it appears that less than 1,000 people decided to caucus in Wyoming. I know Wyoming is sparsely populated but this is ridiculous.

When they don’t denounce the violent thugs but rather blame Trump, they have chosen a side and it is not We the People. Americans don’t blame the victim.

OK I admit that was a little hard to understand.

Cruz believes he can beat Trump if it is one on one.

He hoped Kasich and Rubio would drop out, but they won't. So he wants them to lose Tuesday to force them out.

Rubio seems to be history so why waste money.

He is running hard in Ohio to stop his voters from going to Kasich.

That's his strategy.
