Or a whole lotta Rose' being chugged.

He sounds like obama giving his DNC response in 2000 ... little bits of socialism flickered in and around patriotic sounding speech that evolves into "saving the party"

We're relative days away from electing a new president and one candidate is worried about a fractured party !

Donald Trump has stated from his first day that all he wants to do is make America great again

As best as I can remember, he's never attacked anyone ... he's responded TO an attack ... but he's never attacked first.


If this Cruz speech is owning the night ... the night's a cheap whore's blowjob in a dark alley

Well, he got 14,5%, 3rd place and 0 Delegates (as of right now).

He clearly owned the night, for some.

Just what we need - another politician who makes great speeches. No thanks. I’ll take a problem solver.

Trump and his insufferable sycophants will be lucky to get 45% of the vote in November against Hillary. A lot of arrogant bravado all during the Primary. With Trump’s sky high negatives the General election will be a whole different story, but Trump loyalists are gleefully satisfied with a pyrric Primary victory.

The level of derangement necessary to consider a guy who gave a speech to 2 dozen people while catastrophically losing a primary in one of the largest states by a blowout margin even larger than expected is off the charts.

Cruz is done. Finished. Over. THE END. Period.

Move on already.

Well-said.

I have been following politics since working on the Goldwater campaign as a kid. This has been unlike any other election cycle and I’m still trying to figure it out.

The true conservative in the race is Cruz but there is just something about Trump that has made many conservatives care more about Trump’s nationalism than conservative values. Many people believe that the country is about to be past the point of no return and only Trump has a chance to change it.

Trump showed early that he had the balls to go after Hillary. He actually went after Bill as sexual predator. We have been waiting for someone to do that for many years. I hope Trump will bring up Mena and cocaine and finally destroy the Clinton legacy. And if anyone would ever dare talk about Bill’s half black son, it is Trump. No one else would ever do it.

Building a wall drives the left crazy. Protecting us from Islamic invasion and terrorists drives the left crazy. Attacking the media drives the left crazy.

Trump supporters hope his business instincts will translate to choosing great advisers who will help make the country work again.

It might be a minor issue to many, but it should be a big issue. He is saying the word Christmas unashamedly and refuses to kowtow to the PC police.

Unless of course his target audience is delegates, as opposed to voters.

Cruz main focus is delegate capture after the vote. The votes are just to go through the motions of looking like he is campaigning. His interview on Hannity was pathetic.

Mr. Trump had a very good night in his home state. Although it was expected, his take of the delegates was quite impressive. I was surprised at the total vote however with less than a million votes cast in the republican primary.

The 60% winning total was only around 520 thousand which resulted in 89 delegates while the winning total in the much less populated state of Wisconsin was over 530 thousand and resulted in only 36 delegates. I guess it is a good thing we don’t go by popular vote.

Curiosity got the better of me, and I clicked the link. It's a blog post, and not an article from a "real" journalist.

Here's a link to an equally credible blog post, concerning a truth that has been withheld from us: A Flat Earth.

Is this satire? He gave a speech to like 22 people and then freaked on Hannitys interview...I think Cruz is pretty well burnt out now.

Worth repeating. And the rest of your post was very good also but this jumped out at me.

Texas primary:
Cruz 1.2 million votes
Not for Cruz 1.5 million votes.

Democrats not for Cruz 1.4 million votes.

Not popular even in Texas.
