Cruz came in 3rd (last) in CT, MD, DE & RI. Not enough info on PA to see if he finished 2nd or 3rd there. If he comes in 3rd there, that will be 6 last place finishes in a row! rejecTED!
Will he drop out now? Will we see him next election cycle?
His senate seat should be safe for a long time. Can he work towards building allies and run again? He is young and does have solid fiscal ideas.
Many here claim he is the smartest man in the room, however as everyday passes it looks like the most devious.
Did trump get more than 50% in multiple states? Remember when it was pointed out that he couldn't do it. Almost like the IA predictions!
How did each candidate perform relative to the polls. I think Cruz under-performed. Remember when it was pointed out how trump always under-performed but Cruz over-performed?
Hopefully those guys will show up here with a little more class than cruz has mustered so far and admit they don't know everything.
It's looking pretty bleak for anyone but Trump right now. I don't see how he can be stopped. His win in NY followed by tonight's stunning 5-state sweep gives him massive momentum going into Indiana.
And now Trump's got Hoosier favorite Bobby Knight endorsing and campaigning with him starting tomorrow. Sheesh!
At any rate, Cruz will want to run for President for the rest of his life. He considers it his destiny. Of course, he will never become President. It won't surprise me if he becomes significantly marginalized in the near future. He's already known as a world class a-hole. Now he'll be an a-hole and a loser. Obviously, an overwhelming number of voters in Republican primaries saw him for the smarmy phony a-hole he is and rejecTED him. He would be even less popular in a nationwide general election. My prediction is that Ted Cruz will simply fade away. Thank God!
Every single county. The reporters are dumbfounded and gap jawed. This has never occurred and is a first.
What is truly funny of the "Cruzhead Clan" is not so much that they were wrong.
They have never been right. This little gem one their best.."if Trump loses Iowa he will never recover from a loss". ;-)

You know, regarding Josh..I honestly came to see him differently today. I always knew he was intelligent but doing the right thing when your family needs you is actually living the values we all believe our nation needs more of and is the measure of a good and decent man. And to be quite honest, my experience with home schooled kids (they are adults, but at my age college students are still kids, no disrespect.)is on average they are much more driven to succeed educationally and have strong family ties. I will hold out good thoughts that maybe we can all learn from this tonight, especially that we are better at predicting election outcomes than he is. That last part was what my students call 'Frank humor'.
Remember the people? It is a start, a non-violent one at that. And trump is probably smart enough to recognize the forces that brought him there can easily send him packing.
Or to be more politically correct as if talking about delegate votes, you have borrowed his secrets.
During a rally at the Hoosier Gym Community Center in Knightstown, Ind., Cruz referred to a basketball hoop as a “basketball ring” right there in that famous gym.
IN takes their B-ball serious, he just sealed his own fate.
Yeah, that adds up to about 6 votes. Slade, putting "very conservative" and Maryland in the same sentence, I'm surprised your keyboard didn't blow up. :^)
Because of delegate allocation rules in the states last night, the difference between an average night for Trump, and a really good one, was only about 20 bound delegates.
Trump did have a very good night, across the board. Cruz has said multiple times in the last several days that Trump was going to have a good night last night. Trump even outperformed his polling, which he rarely does. Was it because something has changed in the race, or because undecideds break more heavily for Trump in the Northeastern Liberal states than they do elsewhere? I think the latter is more likely. Nothing really happened last night that wasn't expected except how poorly Kasich did relative to expectations. Trump was supposed to romp, and he did. Cruz was supposed to do worse than in states more favorable to him, and he did. Kasich was expected to win multiple Congressional Districts and a lot more delegates, and he didn't even come close.
The race still comes down to Indiana and California.
Josh, that's funny stuff right there! You're killing me man;)
Mathematics. A absolute true and reliable certainty.

Now we can say he's entering friendlier territory in May, his only saving face...
"Last night's delegate count... Trump 105, Cruz 1"
Crazy what happens when people actually vote, crazy....
.....but the delegates at the convention, convention, convention.......like tripping over your own tongue rushing to the rail to buy a attractive transvestite one shot, one condom and one beer. ;-)
