The PC culture of intimidation is strong right now, but when Donald Trump wins, and starts attacking Hillary and the Democrats, the pack will form up behind the Alpha-Male. ;-)

Senator Portman (OH) endorsed Kasich for the primary. We may not have won, but passions of a lot of voting-fodder Republicans enthusiastically support Trump. And now sly Rob doesn't answer if he'll support Trump?

Perhaps it might not be wise to include Portman as part of any potential Senate Republican majority next year.

Yes, I'd expect Ayotte to waffle on supporting Trump, probably hoping he doesn't get the nomination so she won't commit to him now.

I think she loses anyhow in November to the Rat and this is all moot.

And only One backs Cruz. On a personal level the vast majority of Republican Senators hate Cruz as a human sort-of being.

Oh, their opinions will change with the polls.

If Donald looks good, they’ll rally behind him, never fear.

I am SHOCKED that Roy Blunt said he would back Trump! I mean SHOCKED! He is party insider as they come.

Well good for him! I won't have any trouble voting for him now.

Let’s see how their respective states match up with their voice in DC.

This has been a charade of an primary election. The race is such a lopsided win for Trump that it’s ludicrous to suggest otherwise. We are stuck with a non-winner trying to steal delegates from a winner that’s way out in front on so many levels and issues.

Team Cruz is efficient in weaseling out wins in a few caucus states known for their oddball and malleable vote counting methods.
Cruz won:
Virgin Islands by 30 votes
Wyoming by 480 votes
Alaska by 600 votes
Maine by 2,500.

Here are the rounded total votes Cruz won in his nine winning states.

Wyoming 620 people
Virgin Isl 200 people
Alaska 8,400
Maine 8,500
Kansas 35,000
Iowa 52,000
Utah 122,00
Okie 158,000
He won eight states totaling 385,000 votes.
If it wasn’t for Texas, he’d have a pile of beans.

Ted’s lackluster Texas win, Texas 1,239,393.
Cruz’s winning votes in nine states are 1,724,000.
Cruz won 9 states with 1,724,000 votes

Trump won 21 states, and nearly all the states were won by tens or hundreds of thousands of votes. The millions that have attended his rallies have voted.
Marianas (343 people)
Hawaii 6K
Vermont 20K
Nevada 35K
Kentucky 83K
N. H. 101K
Louisiana 125K
Arkansas 133K
Mississipi 191K
South Car 241K
Arizona 250K
Mass. 311K
Tenn. 333K
Virginia 356K
AlaBama. 372K
Missouri 382K
N. Carol 458K
Michig. 483K
Georgia 503K
Illinois 557K
FLorida 1,079,741

Trump won those 21 states with 6,020,000 votes. And he acquired another 2.7 million votes in the states that he did not win.

Looking at that least answers allot of questions as to why things never go the Conservative way. Lots and lots of RINO’s in that list.

McCain just lurched to the right to try and save his job.
McCain and Linda are playing “good cop, bad cop” with Trump.
