I guess I need to make some more phone calls if this is true! ;) I know many that haven't voted early and the primary in TEXAS isn't today. Trump will do fine in Texas. Cruz on the other hand may of played his last hand with a lot of us. Poker,don't play all your cards with a bluff,your opponent may just call ya on it. Just saying. ;)

“Texas is going to join Ted Cruz in kicking the Donald’s butt all the way back to New York City!”

Care to make a little wager on that?

You Cruzer guys remind me of the punch drunk flunkie boxer who, after being knocked out over and over by the champ, manages to get back up and beg to continue the fight. His eyes are swollen shut, blood pouring out his nose, face looking like a cauliflower, but still he says, "Lemme at him! I'll kill him"

How many times and how bad does Trump have to smack you down for you to realize it's just going to happen over and over with the same result?

At least the cowardly shock jock Beck had the good sense to run like a little girl when Trump walked through the door.

Well Edna-whatever, you will see that I am right. You can’t stop it with insults, so you better learn to deal with it, Edna.

Hmmm, you haven’t said peep about the 11 other States that are voting on Super Tuesday, most, if not all that will be won by Trump. Methinks Trump will be kicking your butt, period. Let’s wager on who is going to win the Super Tuesday States in their totality. Wanna take that bet, Tuffy? Wanna bet on how badly you will lose?

Your man Trump has 79 delegates and his supporters on this website continue to take victory laps. You really have no idea how despised Trump is — even by many conservatives.

AND I WOULD SAY THIS TO THE DONALD TRUMP SUPPORTERS: Think very carefully about what you wish for. You have no idea how strong the feelings against Donald Trump are, even from conservatives. I have voted in EVERY presidential election for 40 years and I cannot stand Trump. I do not believe I could EVER bring myself to vote for him, and please do not tell me, I am helping to elect Hillary Clinton as one Trumpite did. NO, YOU ARE HELPING TO ELECT HER BY NOMINATING THE SINGLE MOST UNPOPULAR PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IN MODERN AMERICAN POLITICAL HISTORY. I resent your dirty tricks (Iowa, etc.) on Ted Cruz, the crudeness and nastiness of Trump, his lies about everything and the fact that I do not believe he is a conservative.

Here is what Lou Cannon just wrote: Dan Balz of The Washington Post points to vulnerabilities: Trump had the lowest percentage of any South Carolina primary winner in the last 10 contests.

Trump has a solid and seemingly unshakable populist base among working-class voters without a college education. But he also has sky-high unfavorable ratings, with 28 percent of Republicans saying they would never vote for him. Indeed, the Gallup surveys show Trump has the highest unfavorables of any presidential candidate in modern history, a net minus 70 among Democrats and a net minus 27 among independents.

THINK ABOUT THAT: Nearly one-third of Republican say they WOULD NEVER VOTE FOR HIM. Think long and hard. You are the ones helping to elect the evil Clinton woman. If you think you can win a presidential election with 1/4 to 1/3 of Republicans saying they would never vote for your candidate, then you are the ones with the problem.

Trump isn’t a totally doltish dealer. You think he will probably save some real honey points for last, to get the enmity to ease off? I think he will. It isn’t for naught that he promised to address Roe v. Wade. Just to prove that yes, he dared. This is just a sneak preview.

If your little weiner dog Trump gets the nomination, it will be great to see him testifying in federal court during the summer in his Trump University fraud case. The optics will be great — and the Democrat commercials will be great.

And if Hillary wins, even as the felon she is, the arrogance and nastiness of Trump and his supporters will have come home to roost. Our nation doesn’t deserve a crude, unpresidential guy like Trump, but we may have to suffer another four years. I wonder what he and Bill Clinton talked about before Trump decided to run. I WILL NEVER TRUST A PAL OF BILL CLINTON’S. Sadly, when Trump’s garbage comes home, many people here will deserve the betrayal for their poor political instincts.

Do you really think a few honey pots are going to move 1/4 to 1/3 of Republicans who dislike/despise Trump to vote for him? It ain’t happening, and not with me.

You have a Christian tagline, so I assume you’re a Christian. I’m sad to see some Christians here supporting a man of such dubious and low moral character. While we are all sinners, I do not know of any Christians or moral people who say they don’t need God’s forgiveness, dump two wives for mistresses, act as serial adulterers, own a strip club, belittle women and make a good portion of their money fleecing the downtrodden through gambling. Oh well, I can’t see ever voting for Trump.

I am seasoned enough Christian that I can recognize the effects of demon swarming.

They are all over both FR and the American media.

Some very good cases have been made that the conviction that matters most in the end is the one Donald has made himself clear about: that America can be great again.

He needs the equivalent of a few orchestra hits on that chord at the end, and yes the enmity will stop and take a second look. Even guys like Mitt Romney got second looks, though they then proceeded to waste the opportunity. Trump? No trouble.

Trump University has been a non issue all this time, including when he made a first gesture at running against Obama. People know they were buying his fame on a sheepskin more than anything else.
