Oh my goodness, what in the world happened in Michigan??? I have been waiting for someone to say something but there has been a deathly silence. Isn't Michigan UKC's home state? What went on up there? Shouldn't Rubio and Cruz just withdraw from the race now? Aren't they just prolonging the inevetible? I mean we all know how this is going to end. I guess that they have all of that money and it is burning a hole in their pockets so they feel like they have to spend it. Or maybe they are just too embarrased to admit defeat this early.

But isn't the general election an "Open" election? Won't the democrats that don't like Hillary vote for The Donald in it? Does anyone really think that Cruz has any kind of a chance of winning the general election with just the Republican voters? Come on now, there are waay more Democrats than Republicans in America. Just look at the last 2 Presidential elections. And a whole lot of the Democrats for sure did not want to vote for Obama. They just did not have any alternative. When The Donald gets the Republican Nomination, they will have one. Just look at the open primaries as you pointed out. You might need to give American voters a little more credit. They don't all just vote a party or for who "the establishment" tells them to vote for. When they close that curtain behind them, they vote for the candidate that "they" think will do the best job and don't care if it is a Democrat or Republican.

I hope that you are not a big time gambler. It sounds like you aren't very good at it. Why don't you think that Trump won't/doesn't appeal to a large amount of moderate Demcrats that don't like Hillary. Have you not seen the polls that ask people if they "like" Hillary as a person?

Here's my explanation. Polls are made up bull crap. How can a man with a 67% negative view be winning everything?

Ga Dawg. This is a man that publicly called Ben Carson a loser, and compared him to a pedophile, for doing nothing more than climbing in the polls and being a threat at the time.


Now of course Ben is a terrific individual according to Trump, but do you think the ardent supporters of Ben Carson are going to have a favorable view of Trump, Ever?

Yeah and my wife pointed out to me that on Ben's facebook page, many of his followers are blasting him for it. There are like 29,000 comments and the word "betrayed" comes up often . There are some very harsh criticisms from some loyal Carson followers.

I have nothing in it either way, except to say I do not agree at all with Ben's choice given his beliefs and personality, and what he's stated he was for in the past, but I'm certainly not going to hate him for it.

I have no idea if there's as many good as bad, just making the point that there's plenty of his ardent followers that are very disappointed and critical and wont be switching over to the Trump train the way it sounds.

Like I said, I have nothing in it on a personal level either way, I liked Ben, but he obviously wasn't a contender for quite a while now.

Ga Dawg it's like talking to a wall, if you say hot they say cold if you say cold they say hot, we call it a game they call it business we call it business they call it a game, and speaking of a wall at lastnites debate Cruz said he was gonna build a wall now but didn't say how he would pay for it.

The only wall that really concerns me is the wall of Hillary, Trump will run into if he's the nominee. The cost of that could be way more than any wall Trump or Cruz is proposing.

The truth on that?.... came very close to the other 2.
...even though Trump won, it was so close

Then the next 1 Trump won 3, and Cruz won 1.

The end result was they were back to the same delegate count difference between them..... A little under a 100 delegates difference.

Nothing to do with handling the truth....

So, if you "come very close" you can count that as a win?

And who is ahead in that "100 point difference"?

Talk about a "spin". When you lose you try to turn it around to make it sound like you are winning. Can I hire you to handle my dog in a nite hunt? My head is spinning.
