Game time.

[grey_whiskers]

Despite the animosity... I am going to guess that half of Yebs voters are actually going to go to Trump. Even idiots like to be on the side of the winner.

Not *this* time. They don't call them "The Stupid Party" for nothing.

[teletech]

Why does Cruz remind me of Al Gore with a twang and an auctioneer rhythm?

Why indeed? Did Cruz say he invented the internet?

[RetSignman]

[I guess I could say kiss my panties]

If you don’t hear from him after THAT it’s because he’s in a trance just visualizing how lucky he would be.

[NYRepublican72]

Trump should win all 50 South Carolina delegates. I believe he eked by in the Charleston CD.

Great night for Trump, no matter what Faux News claims.

[JayGalt]

Sorry, others have been saying that so I misunderstood.

I think Bush got 60,000 votes today.

And I am guessing most of those type voters jump to Rubio in the next states.

If a person writes in their autobiography that they have a “pathological (mental) disease,” they have made this condition a matter of public record. If the person then wants to be POTUS, it’s unreasonable to imagine the pathological mental disease won’t be mentioned. You refuse to say how you would explain these terms to an audience that may not grasp their significance. It is a fair question, though, and a practical one under the circumstances.

[bray]

He may underperform to victory in all 50 states.

[LS]

Only for the haters. The Americans will throw a party.

[Balding_Eagle]

While I don't think Cruz would be a good pick for VP, their 'bickering' isn't going to matter to Trump one bit.

This is primary season, and I'll bet Cruzes hard punches have earned some respect from Trump.

Once trump has it in the bag, he'll be gracious to Cruz, calling him a good friend, and meaning it.

The big problem? I think Trump is serious about the Natural Born issue, and won't want that to distract from a win.

[Girlene]

Your response is instructive though as to the psychology of Trump supporters. Losers looking for a strong man to make them feel like winners. That's why the blue collar morons who think their companies should pay them triple what their limited skills are worth gravitate to him. Like those LOSERS at Carrier. I laughed my ass off at those union LOSERS.

Nice.... stay classy.

[grey_whiskers]

How would you describe a pathological mental illness to a broad audience, many of whom do not understand the term?

You know, you're right. Since he wasn't on Free Republic, he couldn't come out and say "Trump Derangement Syndrome," now, could he? ;-)

[Lagmeister]

I’m convinced Cruz is pathological.

[digger48]

CEW was having a real bad night. Didn’t know when to just walk away from the computer and read a book or something.

Can’t say I’ll miss his elitist attitude.

What was the post that finally did it?

[Gasshog]

A Fine Post.

Spot on.

[Dave W]

I agree, but Trump is not a magician. He can’t will it to stop. He just says they will be taxed if they leave (rolling my eyes). OK, it is all better now. Extreme fantasy.

[pghoilman]

In fact, Jeb took swipes at Trump.

[Parley Baer]

“SC was Ted’s signature loss. 79% evangelical vote and Cruz finished 3rd.

Game over, man!”

Not only that but a Southern State at that. The South was going to be Ted’s strong part of the country.

[Fantasywriter]

Haha—good one!

[bray]

Look for a market rally next week as they begin to see an end to the Obamalaise.
