Donald Trump won some outstanding victories on Tuesday night, solidifying his lead. He saw off two competitors while humiliating a third. From Nevada to Michigan and from Massachusetts to Mississippi, The Donald is the only candidate with a national following that translates into victories that are as consistent as they are deep. He is on track to be nominee.
The evolving narrative of "Trump can be beaten" is getting a little tired.
First, we were told that he'd lose when the field narrowed. Then that Marco Rubio could defeat him with sarcasm. Next that his delegate totals could be chipped away by a coalition of anti-Trump forces working in separate states.
Strange alliances were formed. Lindsey Graham, who once joked that a jury of senators wouldn't convict a man for killing Ted Cruz, announced that "Ted and I are in the same party, Donald Trump is an interloper."
The GOP is thus fighting to win its own primary. But while the prospect of a brokered convention remains a real one, Tuesday made it look less likely.
Cruz, for instance, entered Mississippi enjoying the governor's endorsement and signs of a late surge in the Louisiana primary next door, but the bounce failed to materialize. Exit polls suggest that eight out of 10 voters described themselves as evangelical or born again.
Cruz won those who said religion determined their vote; Trump won those who put other factors first. Cruz swept those described as "very conservative"; Trump did better among the less ideological. Cruz has won the most contests against The Donald, but usually only in caucuses and with the support of a narrow band of philosophical fellow travelers.

The Dem race is a joke after 2008 Hillary can lose every single state in the primary and thanks to the super delegates the Dems have set up she’d still be the nominee...
She’s a lousy candidate but short of an indictment or something the Clintons won’t be denied again.
It's that new "Cruz math." Been seeing a lot of that around here.
Maybe that number (67%) who disapprove are not able to turn the corner.
It has been noted that only 10% of Americans supported the Boston Tea Party, preferring the status quo more than a great rebellion from tyranny.
Those are pretty awful numbers.
So once again, 67% of voters don’t like resistance to the status quo, and certainly dread a blunt citizen candidate, who fails to color inside the lines, incapable of relating to a critically feminized America.
These 67% support resistance to, really, not one damn thing.
yes The Age of Treason
We dont want any more Bushes, and we dont want any warmed over or stealth Bushes either.
Exactly right on mark!
This is not the time for Cruz or a softie GOP candidate.
CRUZ WANTS TO CUT SENIOR'S SOCIAL SECURITY: http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2016/01/31/this-presidential-candidate-wants-to-cut-social-se.aspx
Alumni, roommates, law clerks, former staffers in the George W. Bush campaign and White House (and the president himself), members of Congress and others who have known Cruz â lots and lots of people â consider him socially awkward, nasty, dishonest. httpest, a blatant apple-polisher and all-around creepy guy. You can write off a few of these critics as jealous of his success, or liberal antagonists, but all of them? There is something badly amiss here. Cruz, who so obviously lacks emotional intelligence, cannot recognize it, but those closest to him surely must see that something is awry...
OFTEN DID NOT SHOW UP FOR THE JOB HE WAS ELECTED TO DO: .
Ted Cruz the senator: Heard but not seen The Texas Republican seriously lags most of his colleagues in attending hearings and casting votes. Ted Cruz came to Washington two-and-a-half years ago pledging to be the anti-senator. But he's been more like the no-show senator. The Texas Republican seriously lags most of his colleagues in attending hearings and casting votes in what has been a Senate career long on rhetoric and short on Senate business. He's skipped the vast majority of Armed Services Committee hearings, is below-average in attendance on his other major committees and ranks 97th during the first three months of this year in showing up for roll call votes on the Senate floor. ... -Read more: Ted Cruz the senator: Heard but not seen http://www.politico.com/story/2015/04/ted-cruz-2016-senate-vote-record-117201
One of the things Cruz would like you to forget: His father fought along side Fidel Castro Research reveals his associates and former associates refer to him as a liar, oily, player of dirty tricks, a suck up untrustworthy and worse.
AND THIS: OMG WHAT is this?

Trump:
He's an American and he loves his country.
He's not 'owned' by anybody
He's not a Washington insider or an establishment politician
He's an astonishingly successful businessman, CEO- and charismatic.
His remarkable children are a testament to his character and abilities
Donald Trump was the ONLY one with guts enough to stand up to the corrupt in Washington, to say what we the people have been screaming about-but have been ignored.
We all say we need another revolution against the corrupt government. Well, it's here and Donald started it. He tells the RINOS and Libs what we cannot. HE IS OUR VOICE .
He is a brilliant business man and he will surround himself with the most brilliant, talented America has to offer-per his cabinet and advisers. This is the kind of man we need to run the country.
He Will make America great again. He will make America RESPECTED again.
He WILL put up the wall.
He WILL put a stop to the Muslim invasion of America.
He WILL remedy the illegal alien problem
He CAN make America great again
He CAN make America RESPECTED again.
He will keep his promises. He does not want to sully the Trump name, but to glorify it and go down in history as one of our greats
The revolution many of you have wanted and predicted because we are so angry at the corrupt government is here. It was started and is being led by Donald. Dont let him down
I’ve never thrown anyone off any thread, I don’t even know how that’s possible.
I realize trump people like trump don’t like free speech, but hey I do, which is why I support Constitutional conservative.
I guess a lot of voters had not yet heard about Cruz hiring Neil Bush and officially joining the GOPe.
What is hard to fathom is that Cruz can’t stay out the Bushes. :-)

trump apparently wants Rubio as VP
http://floridapolitics.com/archives/204066-could-donald-trump-consider-marco-rubio-for-vp
Being “cagey” and not answering a direct pointed, question designed to throw a hand grenade in the mess tent is not the affirmative endorsement and confirmation you wish it to be.
I could read in all sorts of idiotic assertions about Cruz’ awkward acceptance of that Insaniac Beck’s endorsement equally absurd.
Nice try. No sale.
“Seattle Seahawks...”
Hey, didn’t you make that same prediction last year?
Grrrr.....good one.
trump should stay away from convicted criminals
Good post and thanks for the ping.
Geez, Megyn just can’t keep the snarly remarks and misstatements in check. She had to be corrected by her cohosts more than once on Saturday.
Well Trump has managed to avoid Neil Bush. :-)
