Well the big day is here, enjoy!

Tonight made it very clear... Trump is going all the way.

The twins are nothing more than speed bumps, soon to be considered roadkill.

First returns out of Alaska

cruz 436 29.9%
rubio 269 18.4%
carson 146 10.0%
kasich 109 7.5%

6% of the precincts reporting. You must get 13% of the vote in order to get a delegate in Alaska.

CNN pundits all agree Dems prefer Cruz. He’s the most beatable. Sorry.

[fooman]

CNN? right.

[over3Owithabrain]

Can you please post where to get live Alaska count? Decision Desk has been poor tonight.

[Georgia Girl 2]

So far so good for Trump.

[Read Write Repeat]

No Senators. Those do nothing babblers continually sell out the American people.

[over3Owithabrain]

Bet you loved CNN when they called Trump KKK all weekend

[antceecee]

I never heard ideas or knew Trump until he ran for office. Now, I like what I am seeing and hearing from Trump and dislike what I am seeing and hearing from Ted. Ted embracing crazy Beck was the deciding point for me. I say this with much consternation, as I had high hopes for Ted Cruz. Still do not carry vitriol for him, but people such as you are wringing any last ounce of admiration I had for Ted into the dirt. I try to separate people like you as representative of Cruz. I will continue to try and do that.

And not a word about Cruz today from the beltway. You’re whistling past the graveyard, FRiend.

[Shortstop7]

Well I thought higher of Cruz until I heard his lies.. which he continues to do. His lying tonight was just horrible. Shows what kind of person he is.

[E20erer]

Trump team needs to very much watch MSNBC from tonight.

Ben Ginsberg just outlined the whole Establishment strategy to how they are going to expose the attempt to take down Trump for the nomination.

Even MSNBC is wondering why Ginsberg just gave detail by detail, time frame and dates on what the Establishment will do.

Trump NEEDS to watch Ginsberg’s appearances because he gave away the playbook.

Or Trump just needs to hire Ginsberg. Again, MSNBC hosts are shocked by how much Ginsberg divulged. LOLOLOL

[Kenny]

100% in on TX and Cruz at 44%, can't do 50%.

Texas Primary

[Gator113]

I really like that. Thanks for posting.

[mrsalty]

trump definitely has him labeled right when he call’s him Lying Ted

[TXSearcher]

according to the NYT site, Cruz is up to 44% in Texas with 78% of the vote counted.

Interesting, our Secretary of state says only 50.27% of ALL Texas precincts have been counted at this time.

[Smokin' Joe]

Yeah. You coulda had Hubert Humphrey.

[matt1234]

Trump has now won nine state contests.

I believe he was required to win at least 8.

He has done it.

He needs the majority (>50%) of delegates in 8 states. I don't believe he has attained that yet, but I think he will.

[fooman]

My opinion on the election is deep and complex. Trump has 10x the issues compared to Cruz. You never really leave High School. Trump is WAAAY more popular than Cruz, plus he has a cool Jet and a Beach house or two. Still, I will take a cardboard cutout of Trump over Hillary! in the general in the unlikely event that it comes to that...
