Everyone yesterday (and today) were sad that AMERICANS were killed in the Brussels terrorist attack...YOU are the one catagorized the victims as LDS...

Actually, YOU are using their religion to try and make it political...You are acting one hell of a lot like a liberal....

And don’t forget the bastions of liberalism like AL, MS, GA, SC, TN...

Darn. You beat me to the punch. It's amazing how much mental gymnastics the Cruzers go through to make themselves feel good.

no one would endorse Cruz because he butts heads with the ruling elite

There's butting heads with them and then there's going to bed with them. It appears that Rafael has chosen option #2.

Trump: 739 Delegates

Not-Trump: 774 Delegates

Hmmmm, you do know you are raining on their parade by pointing out the fact that more Republicans have voted AGAINST Trump than FOR Trump, right? LOL

Trump HAS to make the 1237 needed to win the nomination....or all bets are off at the convention, IMHO.

The “not Trump” numbers are very impressive until you realize we haven’t tread anywhere near Trump’s delegate rich home turf—can you say New York and New Jersey—yeah—I thought you could.

They're holding their breath, stomping their feet all over FreeRepublic.

Petulant is the perfect adjective to describe Trump Supporters.

Cruz has a very limited path to clinch the nomination before the party's convention this summer.

Ted only needs to beat Trump by one delegate. Wouldn't that piss Trump and the chumps off. The logic of Trump as to why he should the nominee would be epic.

Sheesh, you can’t give the guy any credit eh. He has beaten Cruz in many places, MI,LS,MS,VA,OH,FL,SC,NH,NV,AL,GA,TN, I’m not going to bother naming all of the places and Cruz has mainly run up the score in a few caucus’ and a good win in his home state and OK. Trump is winning everywhere, he’s put together a great strategy obviously. Do people have to be so intellectually dishonest that they can’t even give him credit. That has bothered me so much about the likes of Krauthhammer, Will and the rest of the Fox bunch. They can’t just says good job, for any reason. Win after win after win. Just one ‘atta boy, who have meant a lot in terms of showing respect to voters.

Trump expanded his lead over Cruz by 18 delegates. Cruz now has to win about 84 percent of all the remaining delegates in order to get to 1237. Trump has to win 52 percent of the delegates.

Cruz is proving that he is nothing more than an establishment stooge, because he’s just trying to block Trump from getting 1237, so that the establishment can hand the nomination to someone else, and it sure isn’t Cruz.

Don’t forget about the possibility of a contested convention.

“Great headline. Really hides the fact that Cruz is falling further and further behind.”

The headline campaign just keeps getting better and better.

I hope that whoever becomes the Republican nominee - whether Trump, or Cruz - everyone will come together and rally behind him to destroy the Democrat opponent in November.

What a thrilling election!
