Look closely folks.

One third of the voters choosing Cruz or Trump, have chosen Cruz.

Two thirds of the voters choosing Cruz or Trump, have chosen Trump.

I believe both these camps think of themselves as Conservatives.

This should open some eyes. Sadly, it won’t.

Thanks kabar. Besides the boost he'll get from the Argentine liberation theologian's special trip to Mexico to attack a US POTUS candidate, Trump just called the Roe v. Wade decision a mistake, thus pulling the rug out from under that particular antiPope.

You should have seen Bret Baier. He was about to have a fit. Judge Napolitano and Mara Liason(sp) of NPR both said it would help Trump, and Napplitano, who is Catholic, was upset that the Pope would stick his nose into US politics.

This should open some eyes too;

[kabar]

I saw that. LOL. The Pope just lobbed a ball down the middle of the plate and Trump hit it out of the park. I am sure there are conspiracy nuts who will say the Pope is in cahoots with Trump.

[SunkenCiv]

It's a three part field -- Trump, Cruz/Rubio, Kasich/Bush/Carson. Kasich will probably be in the race longer than Jebbie, because unlike Bush he's not expected to do well in the South. Carson will try to stay in through Florida, and that's a state Rubio must win to be taken seriously.
