Ummm, couldn't that be said about ANYBODY in the race? If Cruz got 30% by your logic, 70% hate him.
Boundary County went to Cruz....Figures...
You are bad at math. Trump has almost as many votes as Kasich and Cruz combined. That means the majority of voters rejected Kasich, with Cruz a close second, depending if he keeps his one or two thousand vote lead on him.
Yeah Id figure you’d say something like that. Its the only thing you can say since you can’t clearly state where Trump stands on these issues.

Boundary County went to Cruz, eh?
As I said, if that’s true... Rubio may indeed bow out before the 15th. We shall see.
A great night for Trump so far. He over-performed the single poll reported in Mississippi by about 14%, the same as Alabama on Super Tuesday and the best over-performance of the race for him. He also came in almost exactly on his RCP average in Michigan. Polls for Trump have been uncannily accurate, which should make him happy as he looks at some upcoming winner-take-all States like Ohio and Florida, where he leads in both.
If Trump is having a great night, it means that the others aren’t doing so well, and that’s true. But I note Cruz once again has way over-performed his poll numbers. By 25% in Michigan and an astounding 114% in Mississippi. The pollsters need to figure out why their mixture isn’t accurately picking up on Cruz when they are dead on for Trump. Cruz also looks like he will add Idaho to his win column and although he is falling behind on the delegate count, this isn’t a complete blowout. South Carolina was his low point in terms of expectations so far this primary season.
Kasich has had his best night so far. His second place finishes in Massachusetts and Vermont on Super Tuesday were not so surprising after his strong finish in New Hampshire. But beating Rubio in Mississippi shows he might have been the better choice for the GOP establishment to put their money on after Bush tanked.
And Rubio... well, not much to say. This is a train wreck and it looks like he will end up with zero delegates in the first three contests of the night. It is a bad, bad day for him.

That’s one way to look at it. Another way to view it is that ONCE AGAIN the large MAJORITY of voters in a state REJECT Donald Trump

Sure he will. Just saw the stat from Michigan, 81% rate Sanders “honest and trustworthy” vs. 19% for Hillary. She may not be in jail yet but people know she’s dishonest.
Breaking news.......
75% of Michiganders reject Cruz and Kasich.
See how silly that sounds?
Yeah, Cruz was brilliant for doubling down and going all in on the New York Values thing. That is going to pay off big time now that the South has voted and the Northeast hasn't.
Kasich has had his best night so far. His second place finishes in Massachusetts and Vermont on Super Tuesday were not so surprising after his strong finish in New Hampshire. But beating Rubio in Mississippi shows he might have been the better choice for the GOP establishment to put their money on after Bush tanked.

Kasich could be the new Rubio, Number 3
Wondering if there is a Boise update?
I know. When it all boils down to the GOP vs that witch of Clinton, it will be over.
Not sure who I the chick is on CNN but she’s got some big hands
