Not sure about that. The Republicans really botched this one.

Cruz is almost as unlikable as Trump. And the most likable guy (Kasich) is late to the party. Maybe they go rogue and nominate a new guy at the convention.

If he loses like that in WI he's shark bait.

I listened to Walker talk about Cruz yesterday. In the process, Walker said Cruz is a constitutional conservative that understands the constitution was written to weaken the national government, empower the states, and give people direct control over politics. It was funny and sad at the same time. The people we elect are more uninformed than the people voting.

Kenny "Sky" Walker?

Donald Trump’s announcement that he no longer stands by a pledge to support the GOP has thrown his hold on South Carolina’s 50 delegates in doubt.

The Palmetto State was one of several that required candidates to pledge their loyalty to the party’s eventual nominee in order to secure a slot on the primary ballot. Though Trump won all of the state’s delegates in the Feb. 20 primary, anti-Trump forces are plotting to contest their binding to Trump because of his threat on the pledge Tuesday.

The loyalty pledge is nothing new in South Carolina, where it has been required for decades, but took on new focus in light of Trump’s public musings about a third party run or withdrawing his support from the eventual nominee if he is stopped at a contested convention.

I think people are waking up with sort of a "we almost did what?" type feeling.

Trump is a loser and an asshole, always has been, always will be.
