This was his only win, which would be inexcusable if he lost.

It's inexcusible that he stayed in just to meddle with the Democratic process. He has zero chance of getting enough votes or delegates to even be a contender in a brockered convention.
This whole convention brocker nonsense is bull and needs to end. Most voters said they wont support a convention with a different outcome than Trump has going in not as long as he's in the lead in both votes and delegates.

Yep.

Cruz did not win a single state.
Rubio did not win a single state and indeed outside of Florida did not even get into double digits.
Kasich barely registered outside of Ohio, nowhere exceeding 20% and running single digit percentages also in two or three.

Oh shit, Trump is talking about ditching Utah debate for AIPAC. Brilliant! Dan Scavino is political advisor of the decade, maybe Century.

(Certainly runs circles around Donna "Earth Tones" Brazille)

He's just doing what the media and the narative at the debates said he would suck at.

That is being a leader. Trump knows what is more important what will do the country the most good. Meeting with AIPAC or setting Cruz up another penis joke at the debate?

It's going to suck to be Kasich and Cruz during the debate if it's still on.
And it would suck for them both if it's not on. But Trump did say after the last debate, "No more debates, can we all agree we've already said everything there is to say. They don't want to debate, they want to have circus. I'm done for the Primary season. "

Really! You know in a parallel universe, She canned Trump's presidential bid over that fake rage episode. Then goes on to revive the Vagina monologues multi city tour one woman show.

r 40% in every state except Ohio, where he got in at 36%, just a few points behind the incumbent governor

--------------

Trump had less than 40% in Illinois
And a virtual tie in MO with Cruz where they both got 41% of the vote

errc says

With four candidates.

Missouri is one of the few states Cruz could have won tonight, another "Southern Plains State" full of Dominionist whackos.

The calendar ahead sucks for Cruz. There's only two Republican primaries this month - Utah, which he might win, and the Virgin Islands.

After that, April is NY, California, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania, etc. places where Cruz has absolutely no Chance of winning.

No, she advised Al Gore to wear Earth Tone Colored clothes... and try act like an Alpha Male. He looked ridiculous when he tried to invade Dubya's personal space in 2000 on TV.

Ironman says

Shhhhh... the Bernie voters have a serious issue understanding math...

Nope, Bernie voters understand that it only helps Trump if he's the 2nd choice of some of the other candidates' supporters. Which, according to polls, he's not. As the field narrows, it's just as likely that Trump starts losing states with 40% instead of winning them with 36%.

Ironman says

Wait, didn't you tell me a day or two ago Trump was only at 30%??? Want to tell me his percentages from last night?

Nope. I said he was at 35%. You posted an outlier poll that showed him at 53% so I posted a similar outlier poll that showed him at 30% to show you why you don't pick outlier polls and pretend they are accurate.

He did perform a bit better last night at 41% or so. Definitely better than his super Tuesday showing. Still not on track to get a majority of the delegates, however. I'd say it remains better than 50/50 that it's an open convention. I can't wait.

tatupu70 says

He did perform a bit better last night at 41% or so.

Trump won the state with the most delegates and winner-take-all by just shy of 50% running against 3 opponents, one of whom is an incumbent Senator there - by almost 20 pts. Despite tens of millions in a blitz negative ad campaign while he spent trivial amounts.

Kasich is only there as a vote splitter, but that's less useful as the approaching states are winner-take-all.
Cruz is becoming the desperate #NeverTrump loser candidate, but the calendar ahead is almost all Yankee states where he'll get clobbered.

Remember folks, Trump is hardly spending any money to win these victories!

thunderlips11 says

I am going to boldly predict that even with Maryland's closed primary, Trump will win here and take all delegates.

Ironman says

Funny how that works out, as more bodies drop out, he gets higher percentages? How come the other 3 dudes haven't caught him or passed him last night?

Who dropped out? Carson? Bush? Fiorina? Maybe some of Carson's voters came to Trump. Let's see what happens now that Rubio is out.

thunderlips11 says

Cruz is becoming the desperate #NeverTrump loser candidate, but the calendar ahead is almost all Yankee states where he'll get clobbered.

We'll see. Once we get out West and the KKK% decreases, I'm curious to see how he'll fare.

Berinie is staying in the race, because he thinks he can win on a brokered convention too.

tatupu70 says

You realize Trump wins Urban, Northern states like Mass, Nevada, and Florida (aka South Long Island) by bigger percentages over his opponents than in most Southern and Plains states.

Cruz is the Dominionist White Supremacist candidate, not Trump.

thunderlips11 says

Cruz is the Dominionist White Supremacist candidate, not Trump.

My daughter's BF said he was going to vote for Cruz because he was butt hurt at the media narrative of Trump.
NOt because he belived in Cruz. But when it counted, he couldn't be bothered with voting.

Which I respect him even more now. Never vote for someone you don't believe in. But I did respect him some for picking Cruz over Rubio.
If he was voting against Trump then he would have said he supported Rubio as he had the best shot. But he said he though Cruz was more honest.
I gues in the end that wasn't enough to get him to the poll to vote against someone.

Great Kid!

thunderlips11 says

I wouldn't go that far. He definitely had a great night in Mass. Nevada is an outlier because of his casino roots. Florida is retired Long Island.

Let's see where Rubio and Kasich voters go.

Ironman says

Speaking about faring, how about that Bernie smack down last night!! Were you crying in your corn flakes this morning?

I said a long time ago that Bernie had very little chance to win. Didn't stop me from voting for him yesterday, but it's no surprise.

I'll remember to ask you in November if you're crying in your corn flakes when Trump loses (if he even makes it that far)

tatupu70 says

NY Poll from earlier this month has him in the 40s, PA poll in the high 30s. Kasich is NOT on the ballot in PA, by the way, and Rubio dropped out.

NE secular MOR republican is not going to vote for Dominionist Cruz unless they are an NRO reader. Again, 20% of the GOP voter base at best.

Kasich gets single digits and rarely gets into the teens in race after race. He's only there as a vote splitter. He flat out said Amnesty in 100 days, which keeps him at 20% of the Country Club Cheap Labor Republicans.

PA will be a good test then. It will be a head to head contest between Trump and Cruz.

High 30s there will lose.

What ever happened to the Clinton trial?

I wonder if they will do it after she is elected. The Clinton's could set a precedent for being married presidents and being married presidents who were impeached.

As if that wouldn't be an indication of where this country is headed?

indigenous says

What ever happened to the Clinton trial?

The GOP establishment in Washington has already said that Clinton is their plan B.
If She beats Trump in the general election. Then the GOP and the Establishment players get to live to fight another day.
So until Trump can get elected we've heard the last of HIllaries war crimes and treason trial.

Tenpoundbass says

What ever happened to the Clinton trial?

She knows she is going down if Trump is elected.... A true military person would be hanging by their balls
if they had done anything remotely similar...

Tenpoundbass says

If they run a third party candidate it's to elect Hillary.

All the people who run down Trump should realize the Bushies, the NRO, the Crony Capitalists, the Neocons, etc. would prefer Hillary to Trump, because she'll give them most of what they want.

Trump and Bernie are the only two authentic anti-establishment candidates running. If you vote for anybody but them, you are voting for the status quo: Endless Useless Regime Changes and Drone Bombings, Outsourcing, Soc Sec cuts, Handouts to Drug Companies, etc.

Graybox says

She knows she is going down if Trump is elected

The odds makers are saying she is going to be elected. To my incredulity...

BTW, many states have a clause where a candidate for one party cannot appear again on the ballot if they lose a nomination or have appeared on the ballot that year under another party.

I think it's called "The Spoiler Rule" where enacted.

Also, don't forget the Loyalty Pledge, which all candidates were required to sign.

Christie:

So the national party required everyone of us as a condition of being in the debates to sign a loyalty pledge to whoever the nominee was going to be. Now, those very same people who made us sign the loyalty pledge are now saying, well, maybe we shouldn't follow what the voters decide to do. I find that ironic and somewhat hypocritical.

and...

$5 gallon gas
$6.00 Gallon milk
1mil median house price
$15 min wage which will then equate to "Mimimum Education" requirements to get a job.
$250 tuition for a minimum Education education degree so you can get a job just to give it all to the shiftless lazy knuckleheads that got a hard on over everything I just typed.

thunderlips11 says

I find that ironic and somewhat hypocritical

That's an understatement. It's is entirely hypocritical.

“Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood.
“Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.
“Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.
“Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.
“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
“A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.
“A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news.
“Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new.
“The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.
"The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition." It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.
“If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.
“The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem.
“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

Trump and his supporters have taken my advice and are taking the Liberal tools of Democracy destruction and beating them over the head with it.

You assholes just wait until Trump all Alinsky on Hillary.

You guys are going to be terrified of the 12 rules of Radicalism. You'll be demanding for a mass book burning by next spring.

Careful what say Jagovs you may have to eat those words of ignorance.

Utah Debate is CANCELLED.

I guess the GOPe didn't want a debate to help people figure out the differences between "True Conservatives" John "Amnesty in 100 Days" Kasich and Ted "5x more H1Bs" Cruz.

By the way, more amazing bluff calling from Trump.

GOPe/Fox News: "There will be a Debate in Utah, come hell or high water! Whether or not Trump goes!"
Trump: "I'm not going"
*Debate Cancelled*

I heard that Kasich said that if Trump isn't going neither is he... So that would mean that Cruz would be there by himself -- pontificating, as opposed to debating. If true, it would make sense that Fox had no choice but to cancel.... Unless they just want to have the Ted Cruz Show in Utah.

Please, oh pretty Please Moveon, please protest more and throw bottles and just be your looney SJW trust fund baby and minority whingebag selves.

Everytime you scream about Ray's Cysts but don't remind us that most blacks are killed by other blacks, and Intersectionality and the Poor Womyn of this country being assaulted by guys spreading their legs on the subway or turning the AC too law as a major act of Misogynist Oppression, the Wall gets 10 feet higher and disgusted conservative-moderate Dems, Cruz voters, and even some GOPe types crossover to the Teflon Don.

Must see new Trump ad. Has it all. ISIS, Judo Putin, and a barking Hillary. Hits her for her Foreign Policy "strength".
