And the Networks are treating Rubio as if he is winning it all.
Cruz is not getting his well deserved glory for his impressive victory.

Democrats vote for delegates. So if there are 4 delegates in a town and you have !,000,000 voters and your opponent 0 voters you still get 4 delegates. If another precinct you have 0 people and your opponent has 25 and 5 delegates then your opponent would have 5.
You would have had 1,000,000 voters to 25 and you would be down in the delegate count 5-4.

If I was Trump I would be pretty happy. Strong second in Iowa and big leads in NH and SC. He’s doing well for a first time candidate. I feel pretty good about the whole thing.

I totally agree and talk radio helped the establishment today when they bashed Trump to help Cruz win.
To: Georgia Girl 2
Did you just see Trumpâs pitch perfect speech? Heâs pretty happy with second.Trump talked all about Trump. Said nothing of any substance. Nothing about the country. All about himself.

If you are not man enough to defend the weakest and most innocent among us you have no business leading any people.
Hoot-rah! That says it all, and I hope to God people in America will realize that is true!

Rubio’s speech certainly played to the Dreamers and the Hispanics......stunningly so as his verbiage was on that mark and they certainly picked up on it as he spoke. Rubio's big deal is like Obama's ....A "new" America..."It's our turn"...."This is our time".....

Cruz is a tool to the MSM. He was their hope of crushing Trump so they could pimp whichever establishment puppet they wanted aka Rubio.
I’m not trying to be mean but it’s a fact and anyone who has lived through all the manipulated elections we’ve suffered in the past knows it.

>> The GOPe will never allow Cruz to be the nominee.
They said that in Texas, too. Then Ted Cruz beat Dewhurst and was elected senator.
After tonight, there’s a certain amount of such conventional wisdom delivered with a big dose of table-pounding hubris that I’ll be choosing to ignore.

One can expect anything from a state that elected Tom hark in all those years. We must not burn our bridges as we must win the general. There is no going back from here. I still support trump but will vote for any hop candidate in the general except yeb or kasich.

Trump will have an edge in the Rustbelt. This is where steel and manufacturing left. Obama killed coal in WV/PA/KY. A lot of angry voters here.

Ya know?the founders set things up for gridlock, not for having the kings fist shove down our throat.
Go Ted Go! and yes he gets **** done too
Runs it up the middle but he is great on defense!
To: ROCKLOBSTER
I'm certain they were soiling themselves.
Only because they were drinking too much champagne. This wasn't the worst outcome possible, for those of us who believe that we must destroy the establishment, stick a stake in its heart, and scatter its ashes in space so that it becomes some other planet's problem. But it wasn't a good outcome, at all.

They can’t do squat if conservatives coalesce around the conservative. And that is Cruz.
To: Luircin
Trump supporters are mostly anti-Christian. I think that a lot of them started out as Paulers who were extremely disappointed when Rand Paul imploded.

I don’t think Rubio is going anywhere. He’s not even competitive in his own state.

To: Politicalkiddo
That's the concern. Bernie, or any dem, will automatically get 47% of the vote. If he can motivate the millenials, and others under 30, he could be a force. I'd still prefer running against him than the Clinton machine.
