Clinton won in Arizona, maintaining a lopsided advantage over Bernie Sanders in the Democratic race despite his convincing wins in Utah and Idaho on Tuesday night. Trump and Cruz split the previous night's two GOP contests, the billionaire taking Arizona and the Texas senator winning Utah.

So when trump takes donations during the general election...

The disciples of deceit in D.C. are not interested in the general. It's Trumps nomination they're attempting to stop. This isn't complex.

Get it?

I’ve been saying from the minute Cruz got in the race that he was not an outsider. Anyone that owned his career to GW Bush was not an outsider. I also knew he was one the main point man on Bush’s amnesty deal he was trying to get passed. I also knew his wife was a Wall St. cronie and the VP of Goldman Sacks. That she was GW Bush’s economic advisor in 2000. I could go and on. Anyone that uses FR can google “Cruz and the Bushes” and verify what I just said. They are both as establishment as they come. He’s the white Obama and she’s the white Michele.

Exactly ...what the DIMS and MSM did to Palin would pale in comparison to what they will do to Cruz ...they haven’t even started on Cruz yet ...they have , however ,used at least 3/4 of what they thought they had on Trump ...actually the GOPe has in effect , immunized Trump from the DIMS with their own sleazy attacks ...

Cruz is delusional. Beck must be contagious.

Trump will blow up the DNC.

The young bernbots upset at all the race stuff. These impressionable minds of mush thought the ‘rats cared about policy.

Now they learn it is all about race.

Melanin Is Thicker Than Flint’s water supply.

The union guys, bernbots, blacks, hispanics, illegal aliens and all of them will fight and Trump set them on fire.

If these neocons wanna nuke Russia anytime in this century, they better shape up and show Cruz $1 million dollars! What we generally do - in this country - is one guy brings the items, and the other guy pays him. “No tickee, no laundry”!

Well yes, Romney and the Bush family are part of the Cruz campaign. Are you suggesting this is not accurate or somehow not true?

I thought that showed Rubio with them, too. Not doubting it, just marveling at the pic.

Yes, it’s Rubio. He’s part of the club too. However the the camera is focused and directed at the two facing the lens.

He’s their guy. Why is he still yours?

Because their seething impotent hatred for Trump and Trumpkins is the only thing that keeps them warm at night any more.

According to the most recent numbers, NeverCruz is 19% and NeverTrump is 17%.

So your boy has a larger movement against him. I guess that talking point is out the window now.

Ha. Ha. Ha.

With Beck, with Mitt, with Neil, now with Jeb and rumblings from Ryan and Graham et al of the establishment co-opting Ted as the last stand for establishment, about all I see now is something I don’t recognize any more. I have my own impressions, but I won’t go into them other than to say you really, really can’t trust any part of this establishment once they’ve set foot in DC.

I'm thinkin' it was our fault...We saw and wanted to see far, far more that what was really there...We wanted Cruz to be a Trump...

It like the mob...Cruz didn't want to leave the mob, he wanted to run the mob...We thought he wanted to leave...Turns out Cruz is not going to run the mob but if he wants to stay in, he'll do what they say...They likely made him a pretty good offer...

The ones supporting him now seem to be the old Romney/Bushbots...

Probably so, and all the bravado, irrational optimism and wild speculation of IF scenarios are not going to carry him across that 1237 line.

He is nearing needing to win 90% of the remaining contests and it will likely be 100+% before the convention. To me, insurmountable - at least to get the nomination fairly.

Whatever you think the Dems have on Cruz, they have infinitely more on Trump. Trump's current primary pluralities are built largely on Perotista refugees and Democrat crossovers.

That's quite an exaggeration but while Trump is pulling in large amounts of conservative Democrats and Independents, it is those Democrats and Independents who elected Reagan and will elect Trump...And Cruz can not win without them so we know where Cruz is going...

The majority of actual grassroots Republicans prefer Cruz.

That's like saying grassroots Republicans prefer Bush or Graham...And we know that's not true...Anyone who would support Cruz at this stage of the game is not a grass roots Republican...

Cruz won’t hit hiterly hard enough in the general campaign or the debates. His globalist handlers won’t allow it.

It's pretty clear the Republicans have no intention of winning the race...They don't even like having the majority in the Senate...If Trump wins they'll be held accountable for what they do...That's the last thing they want...
