Oh hmmm.

TYVM for the heads up.

Trump is the wild card. I still think he'll implode, or the party regulars will find some way to block him.

If the RNC can block Trump, they will surely block Cruz.

I agree Carolina is Cruz country, the people in both NC and SC (though less in NC because of NE migration) have the kind of mindset and beliefs that match up well with the Cruz campaign. Played smartly, I expect Cruz to do very well in both.

...he [Cruz] was expected to come in 5th...

You are confusing me. I was reading that Cruz had a secret ground plan to finish first. The Ron Paul faction would put him over the top... I must have been distracted and didn't fully understand the comments.

No, actually Cruz has been pretty handily winning those who are actively involved in the Tea Party.

Your priggish nature is an insult to Cincinatus. He was unselfish, you on the other hand are complete shellfish.

Every nasty pun intended.

Suggested word list: doh, duh, umm, huh, and uhh. Lets keep it to their level of intellect.

Make sure a house plant can understand.

Trump got delegates in both Iowa and NH

If a third place win in NH and a narrow win in Iowa makes Cruz the front runner someone’s logic is off. Trump narrowly lost in Iowa and skunked all in NH

The real enemy is the DC political class. We need to remember that

They do democrat math

Bernie beat Hillary by two to one and has been allocated two fewer delegates.
