Trump, in 70 years has done... NOTHING for Conservative causes, ever... and yet you are POSITIVE that he will do everything you want. Hopelessly naive.
Eva, you’re incredibly insightful. Thank you for that post.
SANDERS: CO, MN, OK, VT
YESSSS!
It’s true. Trump appeals to free thinkers more than blind party loyalists. That’s why he’ll win the general.
I’m sure that illegal immigration from Mexico and crime by Trump is really resonating with Alaska.
Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana and Maine I believe. All closed primaries. I expect Ted will do well in Kansas, Kentucky and Louisiana while Donald walks away with an easy win in Maine.
Every election cycle the DD KKK endorsement comes out against who? Not his friend Hillary. You really need to stop the lies. It does not look good for Senator Cruz to affiliate with this BS.
Kansas is pretty liberal. Rubio country. Sorry.
Good yet sad narrative of the truth of what is happening to families in every state, county, city of this nation.

Team Crubes showed signs of trouble tonight. They attacked each other dismissively in their cable-news interviews.

There’s no recent polling in any of the other states, although Maine’s governor endorsed Trump.

Thank you for the info.
Not in rural areas of the state. I have family in and around Grants Pass. The you ger people who are blue collar are struggling to get ahead and provide for their families. None are on welfare. All are Christian and hold traditional values. Great young people in that branch of my family. They just need steady work and an opportunity to build a life snd legacy for their kids.
