Idaho is very heavy Mormon and who Romney was speaking to.

CNN has a #StopTrump expert on. The feeling is that he has to be beat in a contested convention. The party needs Rubio and Kasich to stay in the race. CT, PA, RI, California are places where Rubio and Kasich can take enough delegates to prevent Trump from getting a majority.

Looks like we get three or four victory speeches after each wave of primaries!

You know, it's time to shove that question right up the Cruzbots' asses:

Why can't Cruz win outside of closed primaries in small states (except his home state, which was competitive against him)?

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.


Disagree that South Carolina was Cruzs low point. Cruz promised to win the southern states which he hasn’t. Cruz is a politician, a sitting senator. How in the world could be he beat by a private New York citizen who is privately funding his own campaign at this pint. ALL of the south is Cruz’s LOW point for the Southern based sitting Texas senator.

That fact that Trump is winning these states is HUGE as Trump would say. Most would think Conservative Southerners would have voted for Cruz. But they didn’t, instead they are voting for Trump.

Dana defending the establishment.
Dana is literally lost.
She has no idea how to deal with this.

And Juan trying to claim that Kasich has momentum going into OH.

Dana is tickled.
Grumpy Dana is not as attractive.

Sorry. Just seemed logical to me. My bad.

I did go see that giant potato one time on the way through there. They even had a giant Pringles potato chip on display. Heh. Ah, Idaho. Good times. ;)

To a degree yes.....but in the same way that Cruz is a outsider. Both attacked the status quo....but Reagan came to power from the California Governors office..so politically he was not a outsider...and neither is cruz in that respect.

A Outsider to the degree that trump is, absolutely no political experience or elected office, is not necessarily a good thing, as history tells us.

If Sanders was serious about beating her and not just a shill, he’s go after her on Benghazi, the sharing of classified emails, the Clinton foundation giving only 10 % to charity, how she sold access to the state dept for donations.

And her enabling of the rapist husband for decades, even hiring people to intimidate and threaten the women Bubba soiled.

Sanders could have been blown her out of the race months ago. He’s just a stooge.

That would be Obama....so no....

More of the same, (and that is not what I said) could in your terms mean more Reagan.

Yeah, well, I figure you know I was just funnin. The reason for your predicament is a mystery to me, unless there is a substantial alien population in Guam, or unless there is some bureaucratic protocol for passage between a territory and a state. Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands probably have the same burden.

“Twin Falls going for Cruz. Its also heavy Mormon. Why are they hatin Trump?”

I have to say it’s the language and perceived vulgarity. My parents and MIL were hating on Trump until I started explaining who the other guys were and what they stood for. My dad was really upset about rubio and the lobbyist and they were very turned off by the Cruz Dominionist stuff. After that they were able to start looking past the salty language.

I think the Idaho Mormons have a higher regard for Mitt than others of us do as well, which probably helped Cruz.

Carter ran cold war commercials against Reagan.

Mondale went to the USSR to seek help against Reagan.

The old media never supported Reagan

hardly the same and different time.
