New York businessman Donald Trump won Republican primaries Tuesday from the Deep South to New England, but Texas Sen. Ted Cruz took his home state and Oklahoma, ensuring that the race for the GOP nomination will stretch into the spring...

——Your desperate to back a winner and the media convinced you that Trump could do it all.
I’m not sure we watch the same media... my media seems to be pretty hard core anti-Trump
THUSLY, UPSETTING THE WON WORLD ORDER APPLE CART SHOULD HE WIN.
IMO, it was always supposed to be Jeb. Trump royally effed that up for them though and now they’re all POed because the conductor of the gravy train got his ass kicked.
Trump was going to win Oklahoma, too, except the polls were wrong.
All weekend the media and the polls were saying Trump was neck and neck in Texas... and that Trump would likely SWEEP all of the states.....
You say that as if the results were drastically different.
Without the mass pile-on from the gope and press, it may have been just that.
But in the end it didnt work, and Trump continues to push ahead.
“I was wrong. I dont think I will need to wait until the convention to see the Trumpettes eat crow. The bird is being prepared as I write, and you sir, are invited to be among the first to enjoy the tasty morsel.”
Seriously what in the hell are you even talking about?
Ted’s original strategy was to mount an insurmountable lead with the majority of the SEC states. This didn’t happen yesterday; it looks like he won’t take Florida from Rubio on the 15th of March, either.
I’m not saying he couldn’t possibly win, but in order for him to get competitive with Trump, he has to start attacking Rubio - very hard.
How will he do that?
As of last night, Trump won a majority of delegates from Alabama, Georgia, Massachusetts, and Tennessee. Plus South Carolina last week, that brings him to having 5 out of the required 8 to be eligible for nomination under GOP Rule 40, and the “winner take all” states are coming up.
Cruz managed to get a majority of delegates in one state so far, his home state of Texas.
Cruz’s only path to victory at this point is hoping that Trump implodes.
My take on Cruz talking the lead is IF Cruz can convince the Trump haters to band together and vote for him, he can win. His super PAC is already doing that.
I believe Trump only got 37% of the Super Tuesday vote, which means Trump wants a divided field.
Kentucky Trump 13
Michigan 15
Wisconson 10
Florida 22 Points
Where doe Cruz win at? New York? New Jersey?
“”We can nominate a Washington deal maker, profane and vulgar, who has a lifelong pattern of using government power for personal gain. Or we can nominate a proven conservative who has fought consistently for working men and women and to defend the Constitution.” -Senator Cruz”
Isn’t Cruz the one that gets a salary from the government? If anyone is using government power for personal gain, it is the politician who has never worked outside of the government.
I haven’t seen a delegate count anywhere yet!
Perfect way to go into the long haul - the chaff is settling and the air is clearing where we have two men battling to be top dog. Couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.
Yep. We agree that trumpy did not sweep super tuesday?
Ok...if that makes you FEEL better. You archived a major victory by taking sweep and instead leaving Trump with just dominating.
I love how the Cruzbots brag about Cruz winning his home State.
That should be a given just like Trump will win New York over Cruz. It’s not something you brag about. LOL!
Anyhow, if you look at the delegates in Oklahoma and Alaska. Cruz did not get that much of an advantage over Trump. It’s very close.
Moreover, Cruz can’t win in the South. Do you really think he is going to win in the North East?
You Cruzbots are delliusion. Cruz is done! Stick a fork in him.
The only reason the WSJ wrote this B.S. piece is because they are freaking out.
The last 2 weeks they went all in on Rubio and he only won 1 State. LOL!
More Ruhio is most likely to lose in his home state of Florida to Trump.
The WSJ is hoping to drag the race out don’t hey can slip in Romney. You can bet on that as sure as the Sun will be up today.
Cruz is losing in the South to Trump. Do you really think Cruz is going to win the North East?
Cruz lost in Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee and Arkansas.
All Southern conservative States.
Guess what too? Cruz is going to lose in Florida to Trump.
Do you think Cruz is going to win in the New York, Michigan, Maryland, etc..?
