The most fascinating, and telling, race was ultra-liberal Massachusetts where Trump won nearly 50% of the vote, suggesting reports were correct that he was altering the electoral landscape, pulling in the long-lost Reagan Democrats, some of whom may have switched parties to vote for Donald. (GOP turnout was huge, dwarfing the Democrats practically everywhere.)
More importantly, it was a different Donald Trump we saw during his Super Tuesday press conference (cleverly not a standard issue “victory” speech) at his Palm Beach resort Mar-a-Lago. Nowhere to be seen was the “con man” excoriated non-stop by Rubio for the last week. Also not in evidence was the neo-Rodney Dangerfield/Don Rickles joker, spraying water to lampoon Rubio. This was a President Donald Trump standing before us, answering questions in a measured and crisp manner and with far more forthrightness than we have been used to with Obama. He even went so far as to reach out to Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell in a manner they may not have deserved, though he didn't mention Christie Whitman, who threatened to vote for Hillary Clinton if Donald was nominated.
Trump had promised he could and would alter his style when he shifted his attention from his Republican opponents to Clinton and he did that superbly Tuesday night against a backdrop that resembled the White House, replete with a proscenium of flags. Actually the venue was more luxurious, adding a touch of Versailles in its chandeliers.
Trump is a performer, quite a talented one with a wide range, and, as a Los Angeles person, I can only but ratify Bret Easton Ellis’ tweet that there are more than a few closet Trump supporters out here in Tinseltown. Some of them may even surface soon.

There is nothing whatsoever to suggest that Republican primary voters in MA are "ultra-liberal." The MA Republicans that I know are quite far from it; good soldiers behind enemy lines. So MA is no litmus test of how Northeastern states will go. Please stop the crap.
Carson skipping debate but NOT GETTING OUT.
“Would they prefer Hillary Clinton be president?”
Yes.
1. Trade/Immigration
2. Neocons
Is so simple.
Why? Is your opinion the only one that counts around here?
I think NOT!!! You pay your money to the boss, you can be on here, sometimes you don’t have to even do that and you still get to voice your opinion, and personally, I don’t think much of yours!!!
Carson is skipping the debate tomorrow night????
Carson is no longer running for a reason, except for profiling himself to sell books and speeches in the future.
You know the GOPE has offered him a run for the US Senate seat in Florida, if he would just park his @$$ on the curb and get out of the “race”.
That’s what I just read
#OnlyTrump
#TrumpOrBust
The #nevertrump crowd is largely made up of foaming and frothing at the mouth neo-cons. They hate Trump because he doesn’t have to come crawling to them for money, they hate him because he doesn’t hire them to be his “advisors”, or “strategists.” Trump opposes open border where the neo-cons want to swamp the country with the 3rd World invasion. Trump supports the 2nd Amendment, the neo-cons support gun control. Trump is pro-life and the neo-cons are pro-abortion. The neo-cons think that if Trump doesn’t need them now, he might not pay attention to them when they start their inevitable howling for yet another war in Middle East and he won’t be so eager to send American men and women to die.
Vote Conservative #nevertrump
Lots of easy money in that...just look at Santorum. lol
Not that simple at all. He has convinced about 30% of voting gop that he is what he says he is despite his constant changing even now. I am amazed at the known people saying never trump though. A lot of us see an intemperate braggart and bully with little knowledge except how to sell himself, with no core principles, NY values and suspicion of his many friends on the left. It is a matter of conscious.
I have decided I will not vote for Cruz or Rubio or whatever GOPe shill they foist on us.
If some won’t vote Trump, I am not voting Cruz. I do not like him.
Had enough of this crap!
#Alwaystheconstitution
Cruz is a Bush Republican with a wife that is Goldman Sachs.
If he is the nominee, I stay home!
