    You're absolutely right. Considering how important short soundbites are for news reporting, clickbait articles, and online headlines, all it would take to beat Bernie is screaming "socialist" over and over again. Voters aren't intelligent.

    Rating: truthful.

    Also can't believe BUT BUT HILLARY is still the only response, as if anyone criticizing Cruz is automatically a Clinton voter. Nonsense.

    Pointing out obvious hypocrisy is just pointing out obvious hypocrisy.

    And sure, just because you criticize Cruz that doesn't make you a Clinton voter, I personally criticize Cruz all the time and I don't support the Canadian. That said, TheRealist137 is an obvious Hillary voter just like you are an obvious Hillary voter so it's applicable.

    Rating: False.

    B-Bob would, at this point, vote Kasich or Sanders before Hillary, even though I have reservations for all three. Hillary is a distant third for me, of all candidates.

    I will be voting for Bernie in the primary, despite me disagreeing with a number of his positions. He has dignity and honesty that I appreciate.

    So quit assuming your know what other people are doing, K? Thx.

    Thanks for the pathetic roll eyes, which reflects more on you than anyone else.

    I'll vote Hillary over any GOP nominee other than Kasich, and not sure about Rubio at this point. Might stay home on Hillary versus Marco.

    Roll your eyes all you way, Trump voter. (Fun, isn't it?)

    Anyway, none of this deflects from Cruz and his skeeziness, despite you mysteriously wanting it to. I guess I can just label you Cruz voter! Yes, you are a Cruz voter now.

    The difference is that what I said about you was accurate, what you said about me was not. There isn't a set of circumstances that would get me to vote for Trump, with the likely set of circumstances you'll be a Hillary voter.

    Also, you assume that I'd want to deflect or whatever from the Canadian's "skeeziness"....yet another false assumption on your part. You just aren't as good at this as I am.

    You admitted that Hillary was your 3rd option, so you admitted that I was right.....you do realize that right? I mean, work with me here.

    According to Bobby logic, having Hillary as a 3rd choice makes one a Hillary Voter. I guess since he's professed in the past that he would vote for Sanders over Trump (who is VERY likely to win the Republican nomination), he's a Bernie voter.

    I think we see the end of Jeb today.

    His votes will surely go to Rubio.

    Rubio needs a strong turn out today.

    If Cruz falls to third, I think you will see a Cruz drop out looming and Rubio pop up as a strong threat to Trump moving forward.

    Prediction-Rubio is the winner and nomination who ends up taking down Hilary rather easily.

    I think Trump will finish worse than expected, possibly even third place.

    If Trump falters, the nomination is Rubio's for the taking if he is up to the task.

    Jeb's candidacy will officially die. Good riddance.

    Too big a gap for Trump to lose today.

    The turning point of the race occurs today if, Bush and Kasich hit single digits.

    Carson should have dropped out of it last week.

    Cruz won't drop out, but Bush will, he's said as much. As to Trump, he'll keep doing well in states where Democrats can vote for him.

    You've been predicting Trump's demise for months now. Would a double digit win tonight do anything to change your mind?

    Heck, would anything?

    I'm pretty sure he's going to be the nominee.
