    I know a lot of Conservative voters. Not one supports Trump. Most support Cruz and a few support Rubio.

    From Nate Silver at the 539 blog:

    Just a pause-for-breath post as results and calls come in left and right.

    Republicans:

    • Kansas — Called for Cruz, who won by 25 percentage points.
    • Maine — Called for Cruz, who won by 13 points.
    • Louisiana — Called for Trump by AP; he’s up big based on early votes.
    • Kentucky — Still counting. Trump up by 9 points, although some of Cruz’s potentially better areas are outstanding.

    Dude is schizo.

    Trump asks backers to swear their support, vows to broaden torture laws
    http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/05/politics/donald-trump-florida-pledge-torture/index.html

    Just before leading the rally in the pledge, Trump once again opened the door to ordering the torture of captured suspected terrorists, just one day after vowing that he would not order military officials to violate U.S. or international laws.

    "We're going to stay within the laws. But you know what we're going to do? We're going to have those laws broadened because we're playing with two sets of rules: their rules and our rules," Trump said pointing to ISIS's tactics, which have included torture and brutal executions.

    The comments mark a stark contrast to a statement Trump issued just a day earlier. After vigorously defending the use of waterboarding and suggesting that the U.S. should "go a lot further than waterboarding," Trump vowed Friday in a statement that he would "not order our military or other officials to violate those laws."

    Of course you don't know any conservative that supports Trump, no actual conservative would.

    And…Trump just called on Rubio to drop out out of the race, saying he wants to face Cruz “one-on-one."

    — Ashley Parker (@AshleyRParker) March 6, 2016


    Trump is an idiot. He is winning because the field is split. He should be trying to get Rubio to stay in. Maybe this is supposed to be some sort of reverse psychology or something, trying to openly bully Marco so he cannot get out without appearing weak.

    Anyway, whether he means it or not, he is right that it is time for Rubio to bow out.

    So you call Trump an idiot for wanting Rubio out and then you agree at the end.....

    Ay yi yi

    Doesn't trump lead Cruz nationally head to head?

    I think he would beat him head up.

    The "allegiance" photo in Florida is... unfortunate.

    Rubio is finished.

    I still don't get why people care about what "the rest of the world thinks about us". Here is part of that "rest of the world" and its opinions:

    He wants him out because he knows with Rubio out he gets Florida and its essentially over and he wins.

    Meanwhile, Cruz BEGS Rubio and Kasich voters to rally behind him cause he knows he needs them or its over. Good luck with that Ted.

    But you keep on crossing those fingers and praying for your boy. I'm sure it will help in the long run.

    From previous page of thread. Looks a little too much like Munich in the 1920's, if you savvy. Heil! and all that rot.

    The point is that Rubio bowing out isn't in Trump's best interest. He doesn't beat ANYONE in a head to head race. Having the serious vote split between Rubio, Cruz, and Kasich is the only thing keeping him afloat. The less that vote is split, the sooner his campaign is done.

    Plenty of your party obviously do support him. The tea party can now taste what they have wrought. The whole say no to Dems at any cost is now bearing fruit. The insane level of "our way or the highway" approach has failed and the response is to abandon the republican party for a charlatan who understand what the tea party crown wants.

    Unfortunately that's a disaster for this country.

    Do you think 122 million Mexicans, under a corrupt government which is friendly to your government, are centrally determining these things?

    Or do you have a standard of expecting perfect representation out of Mexican government that you don't even have in your ages-old democracy?

    Maybe you were being sarcastic and I can't tell.

    This is true. Trump is essentially out-teapartying the tea party.

    That is a picture of Vicente Fox and it represents the hypocrisy of his demanding the USA grant legal status to illegal Mexicans while paying Guatemalans less than a fer dollars per day and shipping them home when done. Did you think that was just a representation of a random mexican?
