    Listening to Rubio concession speech. He is very good at this business.

    They have no choice but to believe that because the alternative is a lot worse for them.

    great delivery though and props to his speechwriter

    Rubio drops out adding to Cruz and Kasich's voter share, Kasich wins Florida.....overall not a very good night for Trump.

    yes indeed. Missou & Illinois looking like trump wins.

    We are a nasty, tribal species at our biological core.

    I guess in the general, we will each be reaching out to our most neckest relatives to try to reason w them about what trump really means for America. The international damage has already begun though.

    It's kind of reminiscent of 08 and 12. Majority ruled for Obama, and the right said "the black and Hispanic vote won the election for him". Now the voter majority has Trump winning and the left is saying "the dumb redneck racists won the election for him".

    President Obama won 53% of the popular vote in the 2008 general election. He won 51% in 2012. That's for the entire country. Trump has yet to win a majority (50% plus 1) in any PRIMARY state. Terrible comparison.

    By the way, is it supposed to be insulting to win a majority of votes thanks to large numbers of African Americans and Hispanics turning out?

    Ted Cruz's speech is too long and off-putting to me. Rubio sounds much better even if I dont agree either of them ideologically.

    Dude is just weird.

    Well Hillary has gotten more votes this primary season than Trump has. Trump hasn't won the majority of anything.

    Hillary also only has 1 competitor, if we can even really call him that.

    Don't get me wrong; I'm not pro-Trump. I think it'd be an embarrassment if he becomes president. However, I don't think he could/would be any worse than Obama and he certainly can't be worse than Hillary.

    Really? What outrageous pronouncements has Obama ever made? What regressive policies has he ever promoted. What self-aggrandizements have you ever heard from him? What has he ever dumbed down? When has he ever said anything promoting mob violence?

    Not worse than Obama? Goddamnit you are stupid.

    My man, that's how a lot of people feel. I think you should edit your post, even though I sympathize with your frustration when our nation can't embrace basic facts and look on these facts together.

    Also, Anonymous declares total war. This won't amount to much, but they do call their followers and members to do lots of Trump digging. Sorry if this has been posted.

    http://www.engadget.com/2016/03/14/anonymous-declares-total-war-on-donald-trump/

    In the end, we are actually going to have this true anti-American-values fascist represent a major political party and run for president. It will be a historical stain on any state that gives him their electoral votes. I hope Texas, my beloved home state, doesn't do it, but they've supported Cruz and then an actual mental patient for one of the top state posts.

    This is why I refuse to respond intelligently anymore- when you have people who think like this, what's the point? Just keep posting Trump incidents and jokes- because he has turned this election into a joke, anyway.
