-- The only thing that happened to upset Dana is that Trump won again. --

Took a few minutes for me to put two and two togehter (not on FoxNews here), and I'm stuck on Dana Bash ... then it dawned on me, Dana Perino. I'd hate to be her hubby/boyfriend/girlfriend (however she swings is her business) when she gets home tonight.

Yep pretty telling that the GOPE folks are just that stupid.

Cruz is their only hope but they will not try that. Instead they really are stupid enough to think the state delegations are going to cut their political careers throats by going against the will of their voters at the covnetion jsut because DC tells them too.

GOPE, really want whole state delegations walking out of the convention live on national TV?

The race is quickly becoming narrowed down to two candidates, one being perceived as establishment backed and one as an outsider. Given the times we’re in, I’ll bet on the outsider.

Really wanted to see the Cruz victory speech, but I’m sleep deprived. Guess the DVR is my friend.

I don’t think Cruz would run the table. I tend to think Trump will.

Doesn’t matter though ...we can agree to disagree on that.

Hannity said exactly that today. The GOPe plan is to keep Trump from getting 1237...and of course Cruz also. Then they will do the brokered convention and take nominate their “pick”.

That’s another reason I am so disgusted with Cruz jumping in bed with the Bush money. He cannot be trusted. Trump has been nice to Cruz in the last couple of weeks. I had hoped they would join forces to beat the GOPe. I was hoping we all could.

Cruz screwed it up with taking the Bush money and showed exactly that he is nothing big big government.

You Cruzers need to face reality. I’m not gloating when saying it. I’m mad. He was my ‘second’ guy. He has shown his true colors.

“Just a tough night to be a Cruz supporter all around....”

Only because two guys who have no chance refuse to get out. Tonight’s results only serve to further confirm that Cruz would win in head to head match ups with Trump.

Why not? Lots of closed and semi-closed primaries coming up. In these states, true Republicans will be voting, not riled up democrats.

And just who are these "true Republicans". Are they the "true conservatives" like Ted Cruz. I'm getting really turned off on life because of this election

Thanks.

That should put Trump over his target for the night if one follows the 538 website path to 1237 for each candidate.

All of the remaining candidates basically need both FL and OH. If anyone gets both the lanes clear. More specifically for Trump, who also has NY and NJ waiting to be plucked. Those 4 states are worth 311 delegates - it’s win or go home time. This could be all but over in 7 days.

Yeah no surprise. Cruz worked for ID when no one else did. He should win big there.

-- ... did Cruz win Id or did Romney? --

What's the difference?

Bwahahahaha. I get your point. Mormons responding to Romney give the win to Romney's shadow.

They want Mittens.

He was the big loser tonight - his endorsement of Boobio backfired.

That was not a attack line.

But this is...

Teddy Roosevelt was a trump like outsider...He increased the power of the central government ten fold and it has never stopped growing since. he also led the republican party down the rat hole of progressivism.

The next outsider mistake and some think the biggest was Herbert Hoover.....That presidency was blamed for the depression. Hoover was way out of his element and believed he could save the government from it’s self with efficiencies. LOL

The economy never recovered really, until WWII...

Those are the two times that I am aware of the republicans experimenting with outsiders..and yes, it was a grass root thing then as well...

IMO, both were disasters...and both resulted in long periods of democrat rule.
