It’s the truth. Deal with it. The man knows enough to hire the right people to do what he needs done.

I actually see more kindness and humility in Trump than I do in either Rubio or Cruz.

Your bitterness and anger don’t sell well. Much like the unelectable Cruz.

Face the facts. Don’t shoot the messenger.

>My take on it is that Rubio was just ten points behind Trump tonight, and Bush who just dropped out pulled in 7.9.

>If Rubio had Bush’s votes, he’d be just two points from Trump.

I’m thinking along those lines. Bush’s e-money is likely to go to Rubio. His voters are probably closer to Kasich. But when Kasich falls, those will go to Rubio. Carson’s to Trump most likely. But where will Cruz’s votes go when he becomes a distant 3rd??

A. I dont know yet who will be the R nominee But if I had to bet, it sure looks like Mr Trump’s running fast on the inside rail now.

If that’s what you want then I won’t try to reason with you.

I never want Rubio in the Whitehouse.

In there minds, they think they still win if Hillary is elected. They truly believe they can work with Hillary and get things done - means capitulation to liberals

I don't support Rubio, I support Cruz. But Rubio is at least more conservative than Trump, and with a better chance to win the general. It's Trump I don't want to see as the nominee.

Bernie the Red is most D voters’ choice pretty much only because they’re so sick and tired of having Hillary the Liar shoved at them. Bernie has obvious problems but he’s not carrying all the baggage Hillary’s got. But I have to say that Bernie does generate an enthusiastic crowd of supporters too, on his own power. He’s just a far far better campaign candidate then Hillary, is all. As for me, I sure wish the D’s could come up with someone with better policies for what USA needs now. More communistic bs is exactly the wrong prescription for our economy and jobs , for example

I can’t even listen to Rubio the way he rapid fires words like he’s on speed. All that foam must have got in his brain. I did call it though, Rubio second, Cruz third in SC, and Trump winning Yuge!

Trump got 44 of 50 delegates.

Trump will end up with all 50 delegates by the end of it. He swept all seven CDs.

Cruz is basically the spoiler candidate at this point and should drop out so we don’t get Rubio.

Even I am resigned to Trump being the nominee. He is going to be the most egotistical, obnoxious, foulest, dishonest Republican nominee in history. He will be running against Hillary, the most egotistical, obnoxious, foulest, dishonest Democratic nominee in history.

2016 was supposed to be the year we get it right and pick a leader who will send us down the right course. Instead we get two extremely evil candidates who have pulled the wool over the sheeples eyes.

So, we get to chose who drives the death nail into Americas coffin. Might as well chose Hillary. Let history show America collapsed under a Democrat.

Lighten up angel! It will get better! I know it seems dark for you now, but that will pass. We will have fun and win with Trump. I m optimistic about corruption being cleaned out from day 1 when Trump is sworn in, on a bible, not a koran!

Rubio is another open border guy.

Good grief. Seriously?

Why not elect Bush if that’s the goal?

Yikes.
