it is likely to be better for Trumpp than this shows.
I'd say the end of Super Tuesday delegate count is closer to: Trump: 400 or more
Cruz: Around 200
Rubio: Less than 150
I'll stand with that.
Well, you should tell us what you really believe, don’t hold back so much.
Trump running against Rubio and Hillary would win, easily.

Trump Winning:-)
Here’s some criticisms that were said in the past:
1. He used to be a Democrat and we can’t trust him.
2. He once was in favor of unions.
3. He’s too cozy with California Hollywood communists.
4. He’s too much of an outsider.
5. He’s a crazy radical.
6. He’s a warmonger.
Is that about Trump?
Nope.
Ronald Reagan.
So forgive me if I’m not exactly on-board with the hatred that’s being directed at Trump.
Pelosi: We must vote for it to find out what is in it.
Bush: We must abandon free markets to save free markets.
Trump supporters: We must abandon conservatism to save conservatism. We must elect Trump to see if he will govern conservatively.
Thanks for wasting everyone’s time with an inane, misinformed, vanity. Without your input, everyone would find it just that little bit less satisfying to vote to make America great again today.
Keep swingin. LOL.
The desperation of the anti-Trump cult is headed towards DEFCON-5 today.
Either way its goodbye freedom. But I'm a cynical son of a gun.
If he wins the primary I'll vote for him. If I'm wrong and America becomes great again you can all line up to give me a swift kick in the rear and tell me “I told you so.”

Trump has the nomination locked up, unless the GOPe doesn’t play fair. Under the existing rules, no candidate other than Trump is going to be able to get the majority delegates in 8 states to even get nominated at the convention.
Cruz will probably get the majority of delegates in Texas and that’s it. Maybe Cruz can pull of a territory or two.
Trump has S.C. but will get 8 more by my calculations by the end of the day. (Trump will win the majority of delegates in 8 of the 11 states today based on current polls and delegate allocation rules- My prediction).
I think Trump is basically a moderate with some small conservative leanings. I think he is a man without a clue as to how he will accomplish all that he's promised, so predicting how he would perform in office is impossible. Whether he wins in the fall depends on whether he can attract enough Democrats and independents to vote for him to offset the mainstream Republicans and independents he drives into Hillary's camp.
What’s your point? The exact same list of possible outcomes could be applied to any candidate.
The only thing I'd disagree with the op-ed (and Pope Francis on) is flat out saying Trump is "not a Christian". He was baptized into the Presbyterian Church, he's a Christian on paper at least. But Trump is full of it when he claims the Bible is his favorite book. He's an inactive "Easter and Christmas" Christian at best. The only thing Trump worships is himself.
Buzz off. Go GRUMPa somewhere else. And practice saying President Trump while you’re at it.
As a Cruz supporter, I would love to see all the Trump voters flee to Ted Cruz. However, the same reasoning can be used against Ted Cruz:
1. Cruz is truly the conservative leader that his speeches and voting record show him to be, as documented in every rating of US Senators by their conservatism, i.e. will appoint truly conservative judges, will stand against abortion and Planned Parenthood, against gay marriage (and for religious liberty), against any form of federally mandated healthcare, will balance the budget, and will defend the Constitution in total—and he will be elected President.
2. Cruz is truly a conservative, but will lose to Hillary—primarily because his negatives are so SKY HIGH that millions will absolutely NEVER vote for Cruz, because he is considered divisive, he is considered too conservative, he has shut down the federal government, he has opposed the GOP leadership, and he has attacked Trump (who has many supporters who took offense at those attacks).
3. Cruz is a lying SOB and is not a conservative at all. Basically, he is Rubio but hid his true colors for longer because he knows how to “play conservative” and is a better actor than Rubio. But, he beats Hillary.
4. Cruz is a lying SOB and is not a conservative at all—and LOSES to Hillary.
5. Cruz does not get the nomination—and then bolts the Republican Party for a third party, the Conservative Party or the Libertarian Party, which throws the election to the Dems.
Only one in five is a desirable outcome. REALLY BAD ODDS, just like with Trump.
While there are five options, not all are equally likely. With Cruz, I’d say the first two are close to 99% likely between them (with #2 less likely than #1 if he gets the nomination), and the last three are very remote possibilities.
Similarly, with Trump, I am worried about his sincerity, where the last three options are a bigger risk than with Cruz. How much bigger a risk is a tough question. His voters have presumably considered that risk too, but they have decided that options 3-5 for Trump are not large enough risks to change their votes. Or they have decided that at this moment we need someone who will overturn the tables of the money changers and clean out the Temple more than we need a more sedate leader.
Once again. Trump might or might not keep his promises. All of the other candidates will continue to take us down the road to hell.
