Basically Bernie didn't win tonight.

Delegates shake out 45 for Bernie and 51 for Hillary overall.

[Mitch]

Yeah man, that joke didn't work too well imo.

Works better than Hilary's slogan

USA is in debt, focus should be economy not happy feel good bull .

Would be nice if every state was just winner takes all, tbh

So building walls that will cost billions of dollars and deporting millions upon millions of elligal immigrants is more cost effective? Hahaha

Or do you actually subscribe to the theory that he will make Mexico pay for it?

POLITICO: Rubio trails by 5 in Florida poll conducted for anti-Trump group

MIAMI — Marco Rubio appears to be closing the gap with Donald Trump in Florida and trails the Republican frontrunner by just 5 percentage points, according to a new poll commissioned by a group that opposes the New York billionaire.

Trump’s 35-30 percent lead over Rubio in the poll, conducted by the Tarrance Group, stands in stark contrast to his large double-digit advantages in two other recent surveys, and more closely resembles a late February survey by Tel Opinion Research that showed Trump up by just 7 percentage points.

Just talking about the slogan, Reck.

Agree with this.

[Mitch]

Agree with this.

What you think about Kasich staying in, tbh? He's spending more than he's raising and he really only has two states ahead of him that he might win.

[Reck]

He's fodder.

I really want him out already. The less people in, the more exposed Trump gets in the debates.

[Mitch]

This should be 1v1

Trump vs Jeb!

Best debate entertainment ever

I really don't think it matters how many are in the race, as I don't see any way to stave off a brokered convention even if it was just Trump vs Cruz.

[Mitch]

Kasich might win Ohio and start splitting votes with Trump, that's the biggest problem. A brokered convention is guaranteed in a 4m race at this point.

[spurraider21]

Cruz is a libertarian like WC is

[InRareForm]

kasich needs to drop out....

so does rubio...

we need to see one on one with cruz and trump

[Mitch]

No chance, those two are either severely delusional or in cahoots for a brokered convention. Rubio can win Florida, he'll still lose almost everywhere else and same for Kasich & Ohio

They want a brokered convention, no other explanation

[InRareForm]

yup.... Brokered convention and probably to be a mosquito to trump during the journey

Aren't the Republicans getting extremely high turnout though?

In Kansas, Cruz, with 48% of the vote, had more votes than were cast in all of 2012's kansas caucus.

[Pelicans78]

There were also three times more votes cast in Maine compared to 2012. Both Cruz and Trump are bringing in new voters.

yep, but these and others newbies showing up are not the Repug voters, but are anti-Repug voters supporting a non-Repug protest candidate.

Will the Repug establishment get the message that even their red, slave, gerrymandered, voter-suppressed, Bible-humping states don't want any more of what the VRWC-tool Repugs been screwing them with for 40 years?

no, the Repugs only read, hear messages (aka checks) from the donor class, are still planning to beat Trump with Rubio in a rigged convention with rules changed in the convention to select HATED Krazy Kruz (who will sign every piece of extreme passed by a Repug Congress) or slime-bag, incompetent, no-record Rubotio, so the Repug establishment can continue as "The Help" for the donor class.

It's not a theory, the they will pay it.

Your boy is about to win Puerto Rico, Reck

Yesterday's states were all closed - only registered republican voters.

[Pelicans78]

Yesterday's states were all closed - only registered republican voters.

These types of facts go against his agenda.

[boutons_deux]

Yesterday's states were all closed - only registered republican voters.

and Trump still carried the day, Repugs tired of being screwed. (Krazy Kruz is 150% establishment and would run the WH that way)

Trump didn't carry the day. True, he won 2 states but by small margins. Cruz won 2 but by large margins and got more delegates than Trump. Cruz is not establishment. Don't know who the establishment would prefer - the devil you know or the unpredictable (and uncontrollable) Trump. I assume someone controls Cruz - his money must come from somewhere.
