Just like the US should bear ‘some responsibility’ for the 9/11 attacks? You sound like Michael Moore (or Ted Cruz since last Friday).

[N. Theknow]

Little Marco has no chance! He stated that Trump supporters have a reckoning coming

Well...I live in Florida...I am now a Trump supporter...and I reckon that Rubio is toast...dead meat...finito...next gov't job to be with DMV.

[traderrob6]

Why do you feel it neccessary to mischaracterize what I(and Cruz) actually said?

Is it because your statement can’t hold up in light of the truth?

[tatown]

Nice! Can’t wait until Trump wraps this up so we can get a reprieve from ‘yeah but Cruz could win’ camp.

[McCarthysGhost]

It sounds like there are two issues at work here:
1) The current business environment in the U.S. which is encumbered by high taxation and over regulation.
2) The trade agreements with our trading partners.

If a trading partner is effectively blocking our goods we need to rectify that especially in large emerging markets like India and China. We also need to fix the root causes of the exodus of our manufacturing base.

[BlueNgold]

MO maybe. KS went Cruz, but that was a caucus, so it’s hard to judge apples to apples.

I will be surprised, but not shocked, if Ted eeks out IL. Nothing shocks me anymore this year.

OH will be interesting, the hometown and entrenched organizational advantage make a close race hard to win.

[Uncle Miltie]

That other countries are stupid and impoverish their people and raise taxes for bad government is no reason to follow them.

[dforest]

Hillary and Bernie both parroted Cruz in blaming Trumpp for the thugs in Chicago.

Seeing that was very disgusting. I don’t know how people can vote for Cruz.

[traderrob6]

A specious analogy on many levels. For one, 9/11 was not foreseeably a likely event.

There are numerous others.

Florida: Trump Illinois: Cruz Missouri: Cruz North Carolina: Trump Ohio: Kasich

I hope you are wrong. If we don't destroy the Republican establishment this election, we will never again have a chance to do so. The only way to do that is if Trump wins. It is as simple as that. But if Cruz picks up 2 relatively big states, and Kasich denies Ohio for Trump, we are only a few steps away from the Republicans stealing it away from the public.

As much as people now despise Cruz for his standing with left-wing thugs (and he did do that, despite what the ostriches think), the most despicable thing that Cruz is doing is staying in a race where the only beneficiary of his candidacy is the establishment.

If Cruz, ultimately, is the reason that the establishment is still standing a year from now (and, therefore, for the foreseeable future), he will actually have a more negative impact on this country than Barack Obama, when you look at the long term impact of both of these politicians. There is no negative adjective strong enough, to describe his selfishness.

I have been so fed up with the bland/nofight attitude of congress and the media laying all kinds of rules for conservatives and NONE for the left... I’m for Trump because he won’t take any guff from anyone out there. He’s become a mouth piece for me and brash as he might be... they asked for it. NO ONE can truthfully say Trump does not have the right to speak out in whatever fashion that fits the picture. I’ve seen the middle finger being given by the refugees.. no one objects to anything they do or say... just we conservatives. Well...It’s about time!! The anger is real... we’ve had it up to HERE with tolerance and political correct for everyone but the “extreme right”.. there is no extreme left.. just the right... and so it goes. There was going to be a day of reckoning...

[DollyCali]

I did my part... just one vote.. but one vote is one vote..but I do not trust Fla or Ohio re: fraud

[Road Warrior ‘04]

We voted in Central Forida at noon. Poll workers said turnout was heavy. Good sign for Trump, IMHO.

[traderrob6]

You could say the same thing of Trump considering he loses virtually every poll in a head to head with Cruz. (by double digits)

[mountn man]

Easy Peasy voting. In and out in 10 minutes.

You could say that, but then you would be wrong, and willfully blind. Heads up general election polls, at this point, mean exactly "nothing".

[Forgiven_Sinner]

“Tariffs have NEVER worked. They generally have the exact opposite effect of what was intended.

The Hawley–Smoot Tariff act certainly worked out well for Hoover didn’t it.

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

Thanks for bringing that up. That tariff basically caused the great depression. It was much more harmful than the 1929 stock market crash.

Fully Quote:

“We need to learn to have disagreements without being disagreeable. To have disagreements while respecting human beings on the other side. Earlier today over thirty people were arrested at one rally. And then tonight, as violence broke out, the rally was canceled all together. Now, the responsibility for that lies with protesters who took violence into their own hands. But in any campaign responsibility starts at the top. Any candidate who is responsible for the culture of the campaign. And when you have a campaign that disrespects the voters, when you have a campaign that affirmatively encourages violence, when you have a campaign that is facing allegations of physical violence against members of the press, you create an environment that only encourages this sort of nasty discourse.”

Sorry, but Cruz clearly is blaming Trump... Its the proterstors fault... BUT.. hey, its really Trump’s fault because of a bunch of things that aren’t really true about him. Cruz is a fraud.

Like the saying goes, anything before the “But” is BS....

I really had no issues with Cruz before he made these statements and has since doubled down on this nonsense... he’s a fraud.
