Now that we have the results from Super Tuesday a weakness is starting to show in Donald Trump's support. He seems to be mainly an East Coast Candidate.
There have now been seven states that have voted west of the Mississippi. Of these seven elections Trump has only won two (Nevada, and Arkansas) while he has lost five (Texas, Oklahoma, Iowa, Minnesota, and Alaska).
He was never expected to win Sen. Cruz’s home state and OK. But he still came in a strong second in the states he lost with a sizable haul of delegates.
Weak spin troll.
Cruz is a regional candidate. He only won his him state, the state adjacent, Alaska is tied for delegates, and Iowa.
He has been trounced in the South, non factor in the North, and you can forget with coast.
It’s still not too late for intelligence, wisdom, and sanity, to win out over what’s currently going on in the country today. Folks just need to put the kool-aid down for a few days and reconsider the reality in a more sober state of mind. Now they are like drunks or drug addicts denying a problem exists.

You have a point on Texas but still look at the proportion of States that Trump has won East of the Mississippi vs. West of the Mississippi. There is something going on there.
Oklahoma is a whiter version of Texas. Or a Texan version of Iowa.
Bernie won Oklahoma.
Trump is strong in Cali, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Arizona, Utah and everywhere.
Agreed.
Therefore: Trump has convincingly won the only Western state - Nevada - that has held a primary or caucus to date in 2016, where Trump more than doubled Cruz's percentage: 45.9-21.4%.
Your vanity was busTed before it left your fingers. Put down your drink and go to bed.
Cruz won Alaska by roughly the same percentage that Trump won Virginia and VT today.
Look at the Southern States Trump won vs Cruz.
I don’t see a clear path to the nomination for Cruz/Boobio.
All second and third place gets you is a nice pat on the back and a consolation prize.
I don’t see any one who can topple Trump going forward.
“Now they are like drunks or drug addicts denying a problem exists.”
And yet another Cruz person looking down their nose on voters that had the nerve to not fall at the feet of Ted and acknowledge his saintly omnipotence.
I was looking at states east of the Mississippi vs. West of the Mississippi. Trump has won everything east of the Mississippi so far and has only won two out of seven states West of the Mississippi so far. Say what you will but there is something going on there regionally.
And Cruz wasn’t even a factor in either. 2 more 3-4th place showings.
Alaska split the number of delegates between them evenly.
Cruz’s Southern firewall was left in a wreckage tonight. He was badly beaten in other Southern states.
In VA, he placed a distant third behind Boobio.
Not how he wanted to go forward after his loss in NH.
It fell apart when he lost SC.
True, but four of those five were very close, right? Helost, but by wafer thin margins.
Call Cruz or any other Texan a “Westerner” or a “West Coaster” and you just might end up with SainTed’s hand around your throat...
trounced? he has over 200 delegates, and he’s gonna drag your boy to the end without enough delegates, the way I see it.
