Unless Cruz or Rubio can make headway in (winner-take-all) Florida and Ohio, Trumps gonna leap in delegate % -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 09:28 19
- Seeing Cruz on national TV basicly beg on TV for everyone to unify behind him - eag Mar 2, 09:36 16
  - The post-mortem on how this happened will be amazing. - Will Hunting Mar 2, 09:42 14
    - It'll look like me talking The Force Awakens. -- nm - David Mar 2, 09:56 1
      - Except even then, them and you still adhere to basic movie concepts of heroes / villains. - Will Hunting Mar 2, 10:18
    - it's not a mystery. Trump is just telling the rabid tea party base exactly what they wanted McCain and Romney to say to Obama's face when they ran for - sweet baboo Mar 2, 09:46 11
      - It's more complicated than that - Strongbad Mar 2, 09:47 10
        
        they keep saying it, I have no reason to think it's not true but that is the surprise of the cycle for me. - Mel Profit Mar 2, 09:55 6
        
        Already been done, it's called "authoritarianism" -- (link) - Strongbad Mar 2, 10:05 1
        
        I saw that earlier. Maybe that's it but it doesn't feel like it. Maybe I'm entirely wrong. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 2, 10:34
        
        I think the biggest factor is the people who haven't voted before coming in to vote for him. He's got the angry disenfrachised white people vote sewn - pmb Mar 2, 10:01 2
        
        (Except for the angry disenfranchised young white people Bernie has sewn up.) -- nm - Ender Mar 2, 10:48 1
        
        they might even vote! -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 2, 10:50
        
        It's what many years of 8% support for Congress looks like at the polls. -- nm - David Mar 2, 09:57
        
        Trump is winning 40% of the GOP and has upped his ceiling directly at Cruz's expense - sweet baboo Mar 2, 09:50 2
        
        Trump has won ~34% of the popular vote so far. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 2, 09:54 1
        
        maybe on average. most places he's closer to 40%. but it's not Cruz & Rubio splitting the anti-Trump vote. It's Trump & Cruz splitting the anti-Rubio - sweet baboo Mar 2, 10:03
  - loved it -though he used " prayerfully" which I took exception to -- nm - Epiphany Mar 2, 09:42
- March 15 will be the last coffin nail for Rubio and possibly Cruz too -- nm - decline Mar 2, 09:29
- Yes. It's pretty much over if Trump gets both. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 2, 09:29
(he's also collected 34.2% of the R popular vote) -- nm - Strongbad Mar 2, 09:28
