Why would anyone in Kentucky listen to failed presidential candidate Rand Paul re: caucus. Made a fool of himself (1%.)
KY his 2nd choice!

I said it during the debate, Cruz really rustles Trump. I think he beats him badly 1-on-1.

All of this is correct but it FEELS like Trump won.

It was 2 for 2 today for both Cruz and Trump. But Cruz won more delegates so it was a Cruz win.

Because someone asked, you can bet on Paul Ryan at 50-1.

My hot betting tip is to short Rubio in Puerto Rico for tomorrow on Betfair at 1.1/91%. It seems like a steal considering there's no polling there.

Anyone see anything about the absentee in LA?

If Cruz won the non-absentee with the other states, it might show some Trump vulnerability.

Does anyone think any of Rubio or Kasich's supporters would vote Trump?? I think those voters would either stay home or support Cruz. They are keeping Trump alive, right?

Some would I'm sure, especially in the blue states.

Cruz would pickup more though I think

He is the weakest of all of them to be honest. I mean just look at the guy. He defines slime ball.

I've only been following on CNN and can't believe what I'm hearing. "It's true that Cruz won more delegates, but Trump won the larger states. So I'd say it's basically a case of Trump holding serve."

How the **** these people get jobs analyzing election returns is completely beyond me.

Interpretation A: Cruz is surging, Trump is wounded.

Interpretation B: Despite the orchestrated onslaught this week, best Cruz could do is draw even in a neighboring state carried by Evangelicals of late (Santorum/Huckabee in '12/'08), even with many blue collar votes already cast.

Keep dreaming

The race is tightening, but if winning the two biggest states today, both in televangelist country, is "collapsing", then things must be pretty solid to start.

No reason to get too far ahead anyway, next 10 days will tell the story one way or the other.

Cruz picks up the devout church-going evangelicals, Trump picks up the husbands who beat them.

Best news by far for Cruz is Maine.

It proves he can win derp votes in a non evangelical state up North. He needs to peel off some derp.

Which candidate is Cruz picking up a significant amount of evangelicals from if they drop out? I think he's wrapped of most of them.

Cruz debate skills >>>>>>>>>>> Trump ainec.

Cruz did well the last debate while trump floundered, but the debate before, trump made Cruz his bitch, and Rubio was the one who got the better of trump.
