The Republican front-runner has secured his standing, as Ted Cruz has faltered.

Not saying the candidates are the same, but sometimes you can judge a person by their enemies.
lol
Bwahahahaha, now that is funny right there.
Puricons
You’re a lone wolf pollster.
Oh, I like that.
The gay, Kenyan butt-pirate is no different.
