i don't think the kind of people who object to Trump's KKK answer are going to be swayed by his disavowal.kingblaze84 wrote: »Trump slipped answering the KKK and David Duke question, but since he disavowed their support, I expect him to cruise to victory in most, if not all the states tmw.

Did you see how badly Rubio got blown out? He's 1-13 now lol......Cruz has the only shot of stopping Trump now, and even that is not realistic. Trump has this in the bag now. -
well, we're talking delegates not primary wins in this scenario, which is still bad for Rubio:kingblaze84 wrote: »Did you see how badly Rubio got blown out? He's 1-13 now lol......Cruz has the only shot of stopping Trump now, and even that is not realistic. Trump has this in the bag now.
...but not in the bag for Trump:Donald Trump’s Super Tuesday delegate haul was no blowout. He won 254 delegates, Ted Cruz won 217, and Marco Rubio took in 97.Trump’s Super Tuesday performance was impressive, and no GOP candidate can claim he has nearly as plausible a path to 1,237 delegates as Trump. However, Super Tuesday’s results suggest a strategic shift: The effort to stop Trump may no longer call for consolidation around one alternative; it’s now a multifront war led by multiple candidates and disparate factions of the party with the singular aim of preventing Trump from winning 1,237 delegates. -

Well there's still more states left, and based on polls, March 15th is gonna be another big night for Trump. Cruz has a tiny shot but I don't see how the Republican delegates can just defy the will of their own base, especially at convention time. If they choose Cruz for whatever reason, despite Trump clobbering everyone with overall delegates, then many Republicans will stay home. I think most of the losers of the campaign will eventually unite around Trump anyway.
One way or the other, Rubio is totally finished. He should have done better, especially after his decent performance in the last debate. -
to be entirely fair, while this is probably how you'd rank the probabilities now, Rubio isn't FINISHED and Cruz has a legit shot. i don't know that a brokered convention is going to happen (or be good) but it's definitely looking... dramatic.kingblaze84 wrote: »Cruz has a tiny shot ...
