Nice bonus after a good night.

Was stuck in my craw that Cruz won Alaska late Super Tuesday

Trump won Hawaii, Mississippi, and Michigan. Are there three states in the US more dissimilar from each other than those? And Cruz is running out of farm states.

Wow, someone actually used a decent picture of the man.

One of the first times I’ve seen that.

Trump is a national candidate. Cruz is a regional candidate at best and next week he is playing where Trump is strongest.

I expect Trump to win NC and MO - it has demographics similar to rest of the South.

If he takes FL, he’ll have taken every Southern state except TX.

And his win in MI showed he is very competitive in the North as well.

And Trump looks set to own the West apart from AK and ID.

And Utah. But Alaska was almost as much of a surprise as Hawaii. I expected Trump to win Alaska easily. But you are right. Trump is a national candidate, and he will also be very competitive in states where Republicans usually fear to tread. If Hillary! isn't scared, she should be.

If Trump wants to win Utah, maybe he can promise to give back the school trust lands that Clinton stole away from the state in retribution for not voting for him.

Just a thought. ..

As of right now,we’re looking at roughly the following delegate breakdown for tonight

Trump - 73 (25 MS, 25 MI, 12 ID, 11 HI)
Cruz - 59 (15 MS, 17 MI, 20 ID, 7 HI)
Kasich - 17 (17 MI)
Rubio - 1 (1 HI)

Little Marco could lose that delegate if Trump’s numbers bump up a bit and Cruz’s numbers stay static. Rubio could gain a delegate if Cruz’s numbers go down a bit and Trump’s number stay static.

Send your suggestion to Trump. They seem to be accepting tips from FR folks.

Yes.

Plastic surgery.

Bad plastic surgery, an RNC meeting is like a freakshow.

But he certainly hasn't established himself as a valuable contributor from what I can see.

Are you implying that you're a valuable contributor here? Perhaps in your own mind.

Of course not. My main purpose here has always been to annoy people and get under their skin.

It was so riveting

It really was great. Millions of people watching, he was able to give a mini-rally and get all his salient points across. Apparently nobody watched Hillary's win-speech because all eyes on Trump. Fantastic lead-in to upcoming primaries. I will be on pins and needles until the next stupid useless debate is over though!!

Now, do the same process for Cruz.

Epic Lifetime FAIL.

WaPo delegate count, so far:

Trump 458
Cruz 359
Rubio 151
Kasich 54

==

No joy in Mudville last night. The efforts to stop the Trump train struck out.

==

Trump has 37% of the delegates needed for nomination. That strikes panic in ‘mudville’.

Cruz 29%.

Rubio 12%

Kasich 04%

Life is too short to try to educate anyone who doesn’t want to be educated.

Wow, I hope you Trumpers have a better argument to make to convince people like me to support Trump in the general. And I hope Trump can find it in his heart to attack his good friends the Clintons like he has been doing to conservative Republicans.

Trump: Hillary should be in prison.

Looks like he is going to go easy on her.
