Donald Trump took home another win in the Blue State primaries Tuesday night after defeating John Kasich and Ted Cruz in the state of Connecticut.

For Ted Cruz in particular, the night looked very bad, as will be explained further below.

So he took another swipe at the northeast.

Is his strategy to be hated by EVERYONE!

Trump won the southern states too. Someone said “well, that’s because there were 17 people or ted would have won”

That could be said for any of the other 15. And it would be wrong for all of them.

Trump is going to be president.

It’s time to call Wisconsin for what is was: an extinction burst.

“Cruz maintains that as the coming contests move westward, his campaign will have a better showing,”

Better showing for what? To steal the nomination? He is disgrace to himself and his state. Useless.

The big myth is that North East conservatives are less conservative than Southern or Western conservatives. I spent half my life in MA. It ain’t so!!

Yes, insult the historically blue states as irrelevant.

CA is coming...

It’s over...John King on CNN went through the numbers..he gets to 1245 without the 54 unbound delegates in PA.. He also reported that Trump already has 37 of the 54 committed with more to come.

Unfortunately, we are pretty dam useless to repubs in the presidential elections. But we count in the primaries!!

And there was this B actor named Reagan...

Did quite well up here.

That’s because the posters who say that, have never been anywhere, don’t know anyone from outside of their area, and are blinded by bias and hatred; sadly.

I predicted that Trump will end up wiith about 150 before tonight. Which was another shocker.

Now, I am thinking he might hit 1280 or higher.

And now we get to watch the blazing star go out-Ted Cruz.

I agree—— I’ve been here my entire life——and our side seems to be growing.

That’s hilarious isn’t it? Would be kinda hard for Cruz to have a WORSE showing. Did he even get ANY delegates this evening?

Trump won nearly all of the south save Oklahoma and Texas I suppose its full of liberals too. :-) Its really hard to have any respect for Cruz at this point. Even Santorum was a bigger man than this. Kasich and Cruz are putting themselves before party and country.

I liked Carson before his fall. But even Carson with his dumb political quotes is smarter than Cruz. BY FAR!
Carson at least could see what was comming, and got out of the way.
Carson has a future in the cabinet.

Well if Ted thinks he’s that good then let him quit and start a 3rd party campaign ;-)

Republicans don’t want him.

Looks like you nailed it, great call. He could end up with 154 or more. I’ve got him at 1170 going into CA., without winning Indiana outright, with still a handful of unbound delegates, so I think you’re right about 1280 or higher.

The panel on CNN didn’t even mention Cruz. It was all about Trump versus Clinton

He can lose IN and still get it. But he will come out of there with about half the delegates. They are forgetting one state. New Jersey.

I now put Trump at 1270 to 1300 at the end of it.

People like to vote for a winner. Momentum is everything now.

It has become clear that Trump is the GOP nomination.
Get in line folks. Support Trump over Hillary!
