Donald J. Trump routed Senator Marco Rubio in Florida on Tuesday, driving him from the Republican presidential race, and easily won the primaries in Illinois and North Carolina, amassing a formidable delegate advantage that will be exceedingly difficult for any rival to overcome.
But with a victory in Ohio, his home state, Gov. John Kasich denied Mr. Trump one of the night’s biggest prizes and made it considerably harder for him to clinch the nomination outright.
Senator Ted Cruz of Texas finished second in Illinois and North Carolina and was locked in a tight race with Mr. Trump in Missouri, ensuring that he, too, would earn a share of delegates.

At this point I’ll take Cruz or Trump. If it’s Trump I want Cruz on the Supreme Court.
And also to make sure that Cruz doesn't win. IMHO
It’s all a game.
I worked the polls in Ohio today and people were coming in asking for ballots for the singular purpose to stop Trump. And they didn’t care if they verbalized that fact.
One guy actually was sad when he realized that if he took the R ballot to vote for Kasich in order to stop Trump he would miss out on voting for other D nominees. Seriously. HIs face was downcast. But he chose the R ballot anyway. Any sacrifice for the cause.
Such fools.
In other words Trump won 4 states.
The ones who really want to stop Trump are the Dem Hillary supporters, who know that he is the one she is afraid of in the general election, so they are trying to take him out in the primaries.
Its an open primary? You don’t have to be a registered R to vote?
So we see the Democrats/socialists/soros are also joining the GOPe and world establishment with the sole purpose to stop Trump.
Trump is the ONLY one that the media , the Gope , world establishment are out to destroy. So that tells you he is the only one for WE the people, and for America and for freedom.
See who all these socialist pigs feeding at the trough of government want to stop and that is Trump . That is who we should support.
All these statists , socialist, corrupt scum bag politicians etc. know that Trump will stop socialism and government gravy train for them.

This is all determined State-by-State.
In Georgia, we do not register to vote by any party.
We have what is called a “modified-open primary”
When you show up at tour polling place during a primary,
they ask you if you want a democrat or republican ballot.
You can vote for anyone you want to in any party.
The only restriction is in the case of a run-off.
If there is a run-off,
and you voted in the republican primary,
you can not vote in the democrat run-off,
and vice-versa.
You can’t be involved with picking the quarterback for both teams.
Trump took MO now
In Illinois, they gave up on the idea of party registration years ago. You just name your ballot.
Thank God
The good news is it will IMO either be Trump or the betraying Republican party will go the way of the Wigs in one election.
If Trump amasses the lead in the race in the end and is denied, if I were him I would run Independent, why not, Hillary gets to win anyway unless Trump is the Republican nominee.
100% votes tallied in Missouri. Trump = 381,720 votes, Cruz = 380,084 votes. That is a win by a nose of 1,636 votes. Wow!
A win is a win!
Cruz could be the VP if he is smart enough to fix his illegibility problem. Fortunately, he is a genius in law and might be able to wedge a win in the eligibility problem.
Actually, Trump takes four, depending on potential recount in MO.
Kasich has nowhere to go but totally down in the rest of the primaries.
He stays in two more weeks...
AMEN!
Shut up, Chad.../S
You have to be registered, but you could choose between ballots: Dem, Rep, Green, Issues Only.
