Yeah, I couldn’t get it to work either. Even though all my other webpages were working fine. But just now I got my vote in for Trump on Drudge. Looks like Trump is blowing out the others.

Sorry, no to sound like an armchair “strategy” guy. But ...

In addition to my observation that I think Trump did exactly what he needed to do with taking the side of the American worker, and thus will help him in Ohio and (later) Pennsylvania which extends into the General, and my observation that Rubio probably picked up some points in Florida on the Cuban/Cuba/Castro thing, and I think Kasich did what he had to do to try and hold his own with “home base” in Ohio, there is one other thing regarding Florida:

* There are a lot of retired folks in Florida - many are hanging onto their Social Security, and no one should blame them for that. Some are from other States and retired in Florida. In that regard, while Rubio probably picked up votes in Florida from anti-Castro Cubans, then again I think Trump and Kasich picked up votes on the Social Security discussion.

So once again, while Cruz can talk about issues, he didn’t aim at the focus of what will come into play in Ohio, Penn, and Florida. So he was the biggest loser tonight.

Good points about SS...I wasn’t thinking about the FL voter (and the snowbird voters) when Trump made those comments.

I didn't actually watch the debate, so I'll reserve comment.

That said, the insufferable-and ignorant-crowing by the Dump Trump faction on Twitter was illuminating.

Har-har-har!

The Castros suing in a Florida court. Oh, what a dummy!

as if...

For the next six hours, the attorneys would probe Pepe about tobacco varietals and trademark law. Habanos S.A., the Cuban government's state-owned cigar company, was suing Pepe in U.S. federal court. His offense? Calling his cigars "Guantanamera" — a name Cuba claimed and now wanted to slap on its own stogies.

That was 2005. Ten years later, Pepe is still battling the communist country in court. He's not alone. Over the past decade, the Cuban government has gone after scores of American cigar makers and vendors — most of them Cuban exiles living in South Florida. For local tabacaleros, these legal battles add fresh insult to old injuries. Many fled Cuba at gunpoint, only to find themselves dragged to American court by a country still on the list of state sponsors of terror.
