Trump won in dominant fashion and Cruz met expectations as Rubio fell completely apart. This is scary stuff.
I've been writing about the Donald Trump phenomenon several times a week for seven months now.

Rubio: Cuban bartender father.
Kasich: Mailman father.

Like Cruz and Trump, but NO ONE can deny, the strength and diversity of our field.
