Trump can now pivot to Hillary. Cruz and the Rube will continue on, going after each other.

But it’s pretty much over, the GOPe Tet Offensive failed.

At this point, Rubio can’t win. The primaries become winner take all. Rubio, Carson and Kasich need to get out unless their real purpose is throwing the race to Trump.

Trump is beating Cruz by double digits in most of those states.

Trump will win Ron Paul voters & eastern Kentucky voters.

Trump wants to ban Muzzies from Idaho.

Trump is backed by Kris Kobach who won a landslide 60% to 40% while Sen Roberts & Gov Brownback were 50% or few extra points.

Best quote of the night, bar-none:

"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

Amazing admission that Trump is weaker in Conservative states

But I dont share papa's optimism. Here is a KS poll, Feb 26...

The survey, conducted by the Docking Institute of Public Affairs at Fort Hays State University, shows Trump has the support 26 percent of self-identified Republicans who took part, good for first place. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas was in second place with 14 percent, and Sen. Marco Rubio was third with 13 percent.

Clinton leads among Democrats with 33 percent. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont — Clinton’s Democratic opponent — is supported by 23 percent of Democrats responding to the survey.

Forty-four percent of Democrats are undecided, as are 39 percent of Republicans.

The large number of undecided voters “makes sense,” said Bob Beatty, a political science professor at Washburn University in Topeka. “Close to half of most party members are not engaged and probably won’t be caucusing.”

Similarly, KY...

Western Kentucky Univ. 2/22 - 2/26 Trump 35, Marco 22, Cruz 15

There are pockets and places out there that support Ted Cruz and Ted will be getting weekly financial support from me in the next two weeks for sure like he has for the last four.

Can you post any polls that support those predictions, or are they based on your personal feelings?

Maybe you missed the fact that Cruz just got his ass kicked in the most conservative states.

If he can’t beat Trump in the conservative states, he is not beating Trump anywhere else.

Feel free to post any polls that prove me wrong.
