Matthew 7:21-23 (NKJV)

21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
22 Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?'
23 And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'

*******************************

Make sure your orange-haired boy knows that passage is in the Bible.

Wow. Cruz is an opportunist traitor.

When you consider how he blasted Marco for his gang of eight bill like it was the start of armageddon, and then he says he and marco are better than Trump. I really can't get my head around that.

The SEC primary result is going to totally destroy Trump's opposition. Trump is no longer just a candidate he is a vessel for a bloodless revolution and I’ll be really surprised if this Trump wave doesn't crash like a tsunami on 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Now if the GOP is smart they will want to be a part of this tsunami because it will likely be even bigger than Obama's.

The thing that the GOP-E doesn't want is this tsunami to sweep them under it. So far the RNC has been fairly clandestine in their machinations and almost pragmatic. Priebus hasn't been foolish like some who have been mauled to irrelevancy by the 500lb grizzly that is Trump.

Those who think they are going to smear and ridicule Trump away should be thankful because at this point any major dirty tricks campaign that is successful would totally rip the GOP apart. I don't think that is going to happen. I don't think any dirty trick is going to take Trump down and after next Tuesday if he sweeps or has a near sweep of the SEC states he's going to win Florida and Ohio and after that its as good as over even if he comes in 2nd in Texas, which there is no guarantees of that, given the wide range of polling though I really do think Cruz has a solid lead in Texas where Rubio and Kasich do not in Florida and Ohio. If Cruz loses Texas its a big fat juicy cherry on top of Trump's list of wins but even if Cruz wins Texas its going to be almost impossible to stop Trump.

I've heard a strategy repeated that it may be best for Trump if Cruz wins Texas, buying Cruz a little more time, and blunting Rubio's rise. Essentially, locking them both in as losers.

Me, I'd rather see Trump blast Cruz in TX.

This writer is all over the map in his analysis, and can’t even get the players matched up with the proper teams.

If he were a sports columnist, he’d be laughed out of his job tomorrow.

About the only thing he got right is the premise.

Cruz is a righteous dick. He will not be electable in the general.

“Cruz already has beaten Trump. He is the only one who has.”

Beating Trump in Iowa will probably be Ted’s one and only claim to fame in this primary. That is, unless he manages to hold his own in Texas, on Tuesday.

Other than that one small hope, he’s done.

I was a Cruz guy until tonight ... still like Cruz but not for President

Trump is the Last Man Standing ... kinda reminds me of the First UFC ... he is like Gracie... just keeps kicking ass.

“People are quoting Hannah Arendt these days; the stakes are that high.”

LOL! As long as they don’t start quoting Heidegger we may still hope.

**** “The media loves Trump!” ****

Where... What Planet have you been on for the last year?
Unless I missed the /s in your comment

The media has been Steamrolled by Trump and they don’t like it, and they have lost a lot of power.

2 Ex Mexican Presidents already KNOW the Wall is going up ... they are blustering about finances...

All I have to say is “The writing is on That Wall”

Soon enough, every establishment drone is going to come to the realization that Trump owns the future. They will each, individually, understand that he is the new Chief.

One by one, they will bend their knee and kiss his ring.

Such has it ever been, throughout all of human history.

Write may be using GOP and conservative as synonyms. Technically, the GOP is the conservative party, but only in comparison to the Socialist-Rat party.

Perhaps but then their words have no genuine meanings. They’re just words. String 2200 of them in a row and collect royalty.

"Other than that one small hope, he's done."

Aint over til it's over.

But I'll give you that the odds are against people waking from the spell of willful blindness caused by being near celebrity and wealth.

Been there. Done that. See: California Arnold Schwarzenegger. Further reference Jesse Ventura.

In the 1980 Republican Primary Election Results (to compare to today) Ronald Reagan had only won ONE of the first 4 Primaries,
and George Herbert Walker Bush had won THREE out of the first 4 Primaries.
