Since I will be out of town next Tuesday, today I voted in Missouri's March 15 Republican primary. The candidate I proudly cast my ballot for is a man I trust to think, speak, act, and govern as a true social and constitutional conservative, namely . . . Ted Cruz!

It was a YUGE night, to be sure. I'll check back in a while to see if anyone has an estimate on the new delegate counts.

It’s over. It’s over now.

Cruz is gaining but no matter how you spin it he's still losing to Trump by more than two to one. And that's on a conservative board. Think how that will play out with moderates and low information voters.

I've been saying It’s over. It’s over now. for weeks, tonight was simply further proof.

The rube is dead. Dead. Deader than dead.

So cruise is going to beat Trump? cruise, with the support of glenbeck, linda graham and neil (Silverado Savings and Loan fraudster) boosh?

Goldman Sux is going to have to come up with a whole bunch more money, IMHO.

They have the money. Tim Cook, Larry Pape, and Elon Musk promised millions to stop The only person who can beat Clinton, Trump.

The Bush family led by Neil are now in Cruz’s corner. Cruz is no longer hiding the fact he is a GOPe insider as many of us have warned all along.

Looks like Cruzers are trying to rally for their guy. He’s up to 30% as of yesterday.

Maybe his win in Idaho will give them reason to keep hanging on, but I dunno. He got his butt whupped in MI and MS tonight. Those two states were more important for keeping his momentum alive.

I doubt that bookmakers like Ted’s chances, at this point. As was predicted, his friendly, easy states, are behind him now. Going forward, there’s nothing but a killer grind for him.

The only explanation for cruise "momentum" now is media profit.

The Trump blowout hurts media ratings. Like tuning out a 49-0 football game.

“HA! Look what their money’s gotten them so far!”

True. Jeb incinerated $130 Million Dollars trying to beat Trump, and wound up with nothing but a warehouse full of cheap guacamole bowls.

The elites are fighting yesterday’s war with last century battle tactics. They’re going to get slaughtered.

“The only explanation for cruise “momentum” now is media profit.”

Speaking of media profit, Trump should announce that he’s done with televised debates for the rest of this cycle. They’re doing nothing to help him now, and serve only to line the pockets of a fifth column that hates his guts.

In their place, he can have more 'press releases'.

I'm torn on this. The GOPe-stacked debates pi$$ me off to where I can't listen. But I think they may be helping Trump.
