Listened to Cruz's victory speech...2nd Amendment, no more negotiating with terrorists, keep Americans safe from everything, something something Common Core, eradicate ISIS, etc.

Made me wish Trump had won instead.  stupid shit > scary shit

He always wears too much makeup for TV.  Even Hillary doesn't have that much rouge.

The GOP has gone full retard. Everybody knows, you never go full retard.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Trump next needs to win more than 50% of the New York vote statewide and districts-wide in order to grab all the delegates.  A little while ago, that seemed guaranteed, but now he seems to be limping over his recent gaffes and campaign turmoil.

Tonight, Cruz won the high income and post-graduate degree vote in Wisconsin, decisively beating Kasich among this demographic.  I believe these people finally decided to embrace Cruz as the anti-Trump candidate.

Yep, Trump is toast.  Pretty safe to say his gaffes have caught up with him and people will stop voting for him now that it's time to get serious.

Now we have to wait two damn weeks until the next one. FFS.

The Sanders movement worries me, but the fact that he didn't crush her in Wisconsin is heartening. I think she'll be very competitive in NY and PA and that's all she needs to be.
Winner of THE grumbler point.

I expect she'll win NY, but she needs to be competitive in California too.

Not a crush, but still a decisive win.  Sanders is now beating Clinton by double digits in Wisconsin (12+ points), and that lead is projected to increase as the final third of precincts report in their votes.

I am certainly concerned. Even if Hillary pulls it out it would be a Pyrrhic victory. Sander's supporters now hate her with a passion, they might stay home if she wins.

Never realized saying something anti-Choice could cost you the Republican nomination.

Nah, the Republicans seem likely to nominate Cruz or Trump. That will turn out the democratic vote.
