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.

Sorry, Kasich and Rubio have no chance to beat Hillary
Yeah, like Romney did Obama.
Just like Trump, Mitt told conservatives in a hateful and derisive manner that he did not want their support.
And they obliged.
"What is hard is to fathom is people have fallen for this charlatan."
Although your characterization of Trump as a charlatan is way off the mark, there's no mystery at all over why people have "fallen" for him. This country is ready for a revolution one way or another. Trump is the only glimmer of hope they have gotten for having that revolution one way.
If you're right and Trump is a Charlatan, the revolution will occur by other means and it won't be headed off this time the way it was during the Great Depression. No one will buy the fairy tale that Bernie or anyone else is another FDR who can fix everything. Hope and Change are all gone. Now it's Change or Else.
The fact of the matter is, neither the Republicans or Democrats give a damn how awful Barry is and what damage he or they do to the country just as long as they keep getting the treatment the Federal Nobility has come to expect as part of the Global Elite.
Ted, being a creation of and integral part of that Nobility who brags about how good he is at the same old game, sells well enough to those isolated from reality enough to not realize that the time for playing games is over but average folks aren't buying it. His not carrying the South proves that point. He's more of the same Globalist trash in a different wrapper.
New, Improved RINO !!, Now with Old Fashioned Flavor BS !!
that's Ted.
I think that is simply you made up in your mind!
“In head to head polling Cruz AND Hillary beat Trump.”
Please give it a rest.
Polling of hypothetical match-ups this far out from a general election aren’t worth the trouble it takes to disprove them.
You’d have better luck accurately predicting next year’s Super Bowl winner.
Actually, I really believe that is part of the winning Trump narrative.
He's been a fellow victim of government, except he's been able to amass the resources and skills to seriously challenge the neo-despots who are loyal only to those currently doing something for them.
Post your numbers?
Great graphics
That’s why we love him
Fearless and doesn’t back down
Not, but wishful thinking never hurts, except when reality sets in.
Fun to watch him expose them all.
well cruz is doing well in a lot of mid westerner states.. if he picks up missouri idaho which he did.. north and south dakotas and he will probebly win utah then make a play for california at the very least he will prevent trump from getting the delegate count he needs..
BUT it is becoming harder for cruz.. a lot of those states are proptional.. if trump wins florida pennsylvenia new jersey new york CT and illinio is winner take all and open where dems and indies could vote.. its going to get very hard not to have trump coming in at the top of the delegate count.
An ignorant “birther” should never be POTUS. /s
Seattle Seahawks....
What polls? I see PPP, Bloomberg and at least 2 others showing Trump whipping Cruz one on one. Trump only loses to Hillary in agenda polls where they think the Democrats are going to show up for Hillary at 2008 levels.
Cruz got 13 in Miss., 17 in Mich., 10 i4 Idaho, and a smaller portion than Trump in Hawaii for 2nd place.
Without Hawaii delegate count is:
Trump 59 - Cruz 44

Lol. Surely you can’t be that much of a fool.
