where’s the Trump victory speech being held tonight?

[Tuxedo]

Trump is doing another press conference in Florida later on tonight.

[goldstategop]

If that’s true, then rumors of the Trump juggernaut stalling.... will have been greatly exaggerated.

We’ll find out more in an hour when the first polls close.

[goldstategop]

NBC/WSJ poll shows a three point lead for Trump - going into tonight.

May or may not reflect the state of the race.

[wardaddy]

Trump will walk away with Mississippi

Whites there love a brash confident man

Think back to Dueling Oaks

[Kenny]

Are the NBC/WSJ polls every right?

[BigEdLB]

PR Rubio 71 Trump 13 Cruz 9 Kasich 1.

[NKP_Vet]

Trump blew off Idaho. Cruz went once or twice to lie about Trump. First time he had ever been there in his life. He probably figured he might be able to win because it’s close to his native Canada!

[ColdOne]

Link to that info?

[NYCslicker]

anyone have a link yet?

[wardaddy]

Whatever Trump wins it will be a miracle. I’ve never seen BOTH sides endlessly tear apart a candidate like they have Trump. It is literally 24/7 from conservative talk radio to left wing MSNBC to everything in pop culture.

Amen ....that right there makes me pull for him even more....at first I liked Cruz most but he's proven to be such a toadie for the donor class.....lets me honest....if Cruz were not such an outspoken Christian he'd be half as popular here

[Kenny]

I think it was this one: Fox2 Poll

[goldstategop]

I tend to discount it - we have state by state elections and not a national primary.

It might matter in a national primary but tonight are the last states that allocate delegates proportionally. Next week it will be WTA.

And Trump can amass a large delegate lead with simple plurality wins.

[drewh]

Britt Hume at Fox says that is ID going for Cruz.

[Charles Henrickson]

Since I will be out of town next Tuesday, today I voted in Missouri's March 15 Republican primary. The candidate I proudly cast my ballot for is a man I trust to think, speak, act, and govern as a true social and constitutional conservative, namely . . . Ted Cruz!

[VanDeKoik]

The central city is very much a baby Seattle these days. Lots of hipsters, NPR yuppies, and most yards have Bernie Sanders signs, not to mention we are being flooded with wealthy liberal Chicago transplants.

However the entire suburban/rural area surrounding it is as conservative as Utah. Most of west Michigan is that way, so that’s what lefties here complain about.

[NKP_Vet]

83% of Miss voters want Muslims stopped from entering the country. 51% of voters want illegals deported.85% blame Washington for all their problems. 63% made their decision before a week ago. Trump wins Mississippi handily. Then after he wins Florid he’s swept the South, which was supposed to be Cruz country. Something I’ve never been able to figure out because he was for amnesty and he’s a Canadian.

[grey_whiskers]

It’s that Bible Belt / Evangelical thing going for him. Seven Hills Dominionism or whatever they call it.

[justlittleoleme]

Nah... you won’t be thrown out. I voted for Cruz in Louisiana as well.

GO TED CRUZ!! VOTE TED CRUZ!!
