...well, if people are so dumb to listen to Mitt Romney before they go to vote, who can help them?

Romney and the rest of the establishment are just fine wtih Cruz if he stops Trump. Buy a clue. You’re known by the friends you keep and right now Cruz’s friends sure do not look good to this Conservative.

Same day voting is also when they cheat, they claimed Romney won Maine then later admitted he lost.

All I see from this week is that the Fox News debate and Romney put a small dent in Trump, but that will be all.

Those moderators did not act as moderators, especially Megan. Romney went out like a small star exploding in an unknown galaxy.

Neither entity should be looked at as respectable ever again.

And this too can change in an instant.

This article accepts as fact the polls were correct when reality shows the polls were wrong.

So Trump excelled in early voting. But didn’t do well on the actual primary day. I wonder if there is any buyers remorse.

This article actually gets it. Trump hit his poll numbers. Undecideds, Carson voters, and a few other votes went to Cruz, which significantly boosted him above his numbers. What you see is the beginning of a consolidation of the anti-Trump vote, not the establishment vote. Rubio and Kasich are getting the GOPe votes. I think it’s too little, too late, for Cruz, but we will see on Tuesday.

Trump got over 40 percent in Cruz’s back yard and won.

Trump won the majority of the state by landmass Not quite the win I was hoping for though.

If there was any sign that an anti-Trump vote is coming together, we saw it in Louisiana.

Yeah, it looks like Cruz has once again become a respectable candidate. What do you want to bet that he's got people meeting with Rubio and Kasich's people this morning to try to combine their strength to solidify "Anti-Trump" forces?

This is where the proverbial "smoke filled rooms" come into play. Rubio and Kasich probably know they don't have enough support to take the gold ring. A deal, under the table of course, to make Rubio Secretary of State or Secretary of Defense, and Kasich Secretary of the Treasury or Secretary of Commerce might pull this all together.

Cruz wins in caucus states where shenanigans take place. Kansas is not a good demographic for nat. campaign. How many primary wins does Rafael have? It's down to Florida and Ohio. Rafael proves he can win either one of those and then he's a real threat to Trump.

How does this author explain Kentucky? I agree that Ted Cruz out peformed the polls big time, and I’m glad that it appears our choice comes down to 2 guys that I can happily support. I still think Trump has the best chance to beat Hillary, but Ted Cruz is pretty smart and so he’s worth a shot.

When the entire conservative media and MSM spend the week lying that you are a KKK and David Duke supporter, and when debate formats are changed to a 2 hour attack show against you, and you still win a couple states; that ain’t bad.

From all accounts, Cruz actually beat Trump in LA among people who voted yesterday. Trump only took the state due to his lead in the early voting.

Something changed in the last 7-10 days:

1/ Romney

2/ Thr's debate

3/ Super Tuesday expectations

4/ Fewer candidates

My hunch it's a combination of 3 & 4.
