Are you serious? Are you not witty enough to come up with what Trump says or is that you've matured since elementary school?

The Rubio bit with the water bottle was elite, this thing with Rafael Cruz is beyond elite, there are many other examples. Ben Carson belt bit was elite. I don't see the need to say he's a moron when he's merely nowhere close to as smart as he thinks he is and deeply deeply deeply ignorant.

It's not just the positions he's staked out; that's just the beginning. It's withstanding an almost universally negative media reaction and turning it to his favor. It's expertly branding his opponents: more than just name calling, but something catchy with the weight of truth behind it, so the shiv really sticks.

Some have said he's been fortunate to run against a brace of fools, but an ancient Chinese man once said something about how if you're a good general you won't get much acclaim because everyone will think your victories were easy and inevitable.

They really can't call Cruz's and #NeverTrump's final battle without a sweat like this can they? At 7PM sharp? Is this how it ends?

According to PI it's already over, you can't even buy Trump shares in Indiana because nobody's selling

He's polling about 10 points behind his general election opponent. Doesn't seem like sound strategery to me.

He's manipulating a media hungry for ratings, and pandering to uneducated racist morons. Not all that difficult a sell for someone rich and running as a Republican after eight years of a Dem black man having been in office.

There is no question that Donald Trump is supremely good at trolling his opponents and also pretty decent at selling himself to rubes.

The problem with trolling as your one and mostly only campaign strategy is that it works much better with men than women, whites than minorities, and the Republican primary electorate than everybody else combined.

Right I'm sure everyone saw this coming *checks posts from 6 months ago*

Maybe this is just a persona and he is much more shrewd than I give him credit. I have yet to see any depth or intellectual curiosity.

Uh, yeah, 6 months ago, we pretty much did all see this coming. You need to check 1 year ago.

Respect to Lyin' Ted if he actually suspends his campaign tonight (he won't)

Ted is losing equity in 2020 by staying in

At that point, his schtick was the same as it is now. We simply underestimated the number of pathetic, uneducated, miserable 53 year old white men there were in this country who looked to the White House and not their bedroom mirror for why their lives suck.

Somehow my email got onto Ted Cruz's fundraising distro, and I never I unsubscribed for the lulz. Looking forward to the next desperate email I get in the next 12 hours.
