I’m thrilled with Trump’s win, he did well. I’m also happy for Cruz third place finish, but I woulda been happier with a Cruz second place finish, because Kasich is a waste of space.
But third is still good, and the reason it is is because no one can really spin that Bush or Rubot is surging.
In fact, Rubot bombed, and that makes me happy. And it looks like the former federal prosecutor and doer of actual things for New Jersey, Krispy, is going to call it quits.
So hopefully the fat gets trimmed. Pun intended.
Time for some of these bums to git.
This is wishful thinking. Trump just won NW which put him ahead of the delegate count and the author say Ted Cruz is the Front Runner? No he’s not, at least not yet
I am happy with Cruz’s third place in New Hampshire. He has clearly established himself as the conservative alternative to Trump and I really hope that he will pull off a win in SC.
Nods head.
Cruz got 2 delegates, as of the last count I have found.
As far as you are citing the east coast and west, that would appear that Trump would be the “liberal” candidate.
I would vote for Trump if he is the nominee.
I would much rather be able to vote for a true conservative.
Do you see Trump as “very conservative”?
LOL!
Dang, I thought you were improving. Obviously, I was wrong.
ORDERLY! Take Cincy back to her room, and secure her in the usual way.
[And if Trump was done in by a tweet it would be poetic justice.]
Would you please post the link to your information.
Thank you.
Rubio is on the way out. Carson and Fiorina are on the way out. Christie is on the way out, thank God.
Kasich and Bush will split the GOPe vote.
Trump is the wild card. I still think he’ll implode, or the party regulars will find some way to block him. (Who knows though — maybe I’m wrong.)
That would leave Cruz as the last man standing.
It’s about time we had a conservative standardbearer. You have to go back to Reagan, and before that Goldwater, to find a conservative.
Trump won self-identified "very conservative" voters in New Hampshire.
That's like winning self-identified "very cool" kids in the chess club.
Not a very high bar to reach.
While I'm happy as hell that it's looking like Cruz will beat Bush and Rubio and come in 3rd in New Hampshire when he was expected to come in 5th, I'd prefer not to count our conservative chickens before they are hatched.
Let's win South Carolina before we declare victory.
Keep telling yourself that.
You certainly have a thing about posting pictures of women in vulnerable situations.
What’s up with that?
This is an amazing conglomerate of wishful thinking combined with spin.
Don’t be mad bro. Turn that frown upside down!
Everyone on your list is more conservative than Trump. Trump is a New York Democrat.
I say Trump is leading, with a first and a second place finish.
And ahead in the polls by 16 in SC, will likely win there, too.
Yes - it was reported that Christie was going home to NJ to look at the hard numbers - and not to SC.
