Well the big day is here, enjoy!
Cruz is inching up and up in Texas.
he is now at 43 with 40 percent of the state reporting.
I hope he can make 50.
The secret is to smother it in LOTS of melted butter-—my dad once told me “Kid, you can eat a turd if you put enough melted butter on it” (and he was right...the lutefisk did kinda smell and taste like a buttered turd LOL
Now the Walleye, on the other hand, is absolutely wonderful.
Cruz vs Hillary and Cruz wins?? Where do you get that, please? I want to see it. I bet we all do.
Adjunct of Iowa and Texas, both great states by the way.
Texas will always be Texas, different times for a while now on them other two states. Minnicrazy, don’t get that one tonight.
I love you Cruz children.
You ran an ugly stident personal attack campaign against anyone who was not Cruz from the start and NOW want to lecture anyone else about “Tone”
Clean you your own cesspit 1st children.
Trump is too shifty.
Bridge Boy Christie being for Trump is worse than Beck being for Cruz.
have to take the other side of this i would much rather have union busting christie over moon unit beck
+1
It’s also good that nutso Sanders keeps Hillary from pivoting to the general.
She was bashing the money Wall Street people.
She and her husband earned $150,000,000 in speeches to these folks! She’s so full of shite.
The real lefty loons (Dem Underground) hate her and say they won’t turn out for her.
The big take away tonight is that Trump has a ceiling of around 40% in most states or lower and that he doesn’t do as well in closed primaries as his poll numbers suggest because he doesn’t get nearly as many dem crossover votes. The vast majority of the upcoming states are CLOSED primaries. I would expect Trump to not do all that well on Saturday, especially if Rubio and Carson voters coalesce around Cruz. Thursday’s debate will be huge.
Let’s see Trump and his supporters really write some checks.
...That voted for a Socialist/Communist
Now all the Faux News crew are sitting around opining that Trump is going to destroy the GOP. I could vomit.

Prediction after next 4 years Trump is seen as a unifying conservative president. Reaganesque in description.
Let it fly.

Yowza. Can’t figure that at all! I want to see the raw numbers.
I’ve thought about movin’ to TX a lot. My aunt (Army wife) absolutely loved it. Regretted retiring to be near grandson in PA. I could have told her to stay and always tell her I’m ready to go if she wants! Thing is, my son is in NC, so that’s where my heart is right now.
Arkansas now called.
Virginia · 49 delegates 99% reporting · Trump won and has 16 delegates, Rubio has 14, Cruz has 7, Kasich has 3, Carson has 2. ? ?
S.E. Cupp went from Beck to CNN, she is a flaming liberal
The ceiling talk again!
If Trump is BEATING your candidate in most states, maybe your guy has the lower ceiling!
Fox projecting Sanders won MN.
Cruz has apparently decided to use this strategy to misrepresent Trump's stands on Obamacare, the 2nd Amendment, Planned Parenthood, illegal immigration, and just about everything else. It may just work because he and the media are doing the same thing, albeit for opposite reasons & goals. You can't always point to something Cruz says and prove he's deliberately lying, so some people are susceptible to believing it. Cruz appears to be hoping to reach at least 2 groups of voters:
1. The LIVs who currently back Rubio. If Rubio voters are so uninformed that they can't see Rubio for what he is, then they're uninformed enough to believe Cruz when he misrepresents the truth about Trump. All they know is what the media tells them, and think about it: They're still watching Fox News!
2. The Trump-haters who can not longer stand to listen to Trump because he's annoying. If someone can't stand Trump, the LAST thing they're going to do is sit and listen to Trump state his views. And if they are no longer listening to Trump, then how would they know a "misrepresentation" or subtle distortion when they hear it?
TO TRUMP SUPPORTERS:
I would URGE you to stop Cruz bashing, even when it's not reciprocated from the Cruz people. Yes, it makes you feel better because it's frustrating to sit and watch Cruz distort Trump's positions, but other than that, it does no good to lash back at them. You're probably lashing out at a troll anyway!
The more level-headed Cruz people are reading all the Cruz-hate just like we read all the Trump-hate, right? When I see the Trump hate from a so-called Cruz supporter, it first makes me angry, just like you most likely, but then I remember that I may be getting mad at a paid troll! What a royal waste of time that is. The resentment is human nature, and trolls use "human nature" (behavioral techniques) to divide people. It works; just look around you!
TO CRUZ SUPPORTERS:
Please consider that many of the "Trump supporters" on the boards are actually GOPe trolls. These tools of satan are playing both sides; all you have to do is reread the previous paragraph and interchange the words "Trump" and "Cruz." Please don't let the trolls manipulate you!
People, we need each other in July. The RINOs are plotting and scheming to steal this at the convention, and we must be united or they win. Simple as that.
