    They beat up on Trump with his own words and his own history....how terrible. If he didn't say such stupid things all the time, then he wouldn't have to answer so many questions about them. He can only blame himself.

    Kasich has the right idea for beating Trump....talk about yourself and not Donald Trump.....the only problem is he isn't charismatic or interesting enough to pull it off.

    Trumo supporters aren't concerned with actual policy competence. This far in the game, it is clear they just want a carnival barker.

    It's funny they keep talking about the Democratic voter turnout being low and the Republican turnout being high in open primary states.....Of course that's the case, Democrats are voting for Trump because they WANT him to be the Republican nominee. Of the 4 remaining candidates, Trump is the ONLY one that can't beat Hillary.

    So did Republicans cross over to vote for Obama during the primaries in 2008?
    Because the turnout is almost the complete opposite.

    Pretty big difference there, no intelligent Republican wanted to face Obama in a national election, his numbers were off the charts. Trump has never held an advantage in a national race against Hillary or even against Sanders. He gets beat by either easily. Pretty much every smart Democrat wants to face Trump because he wouldn't have a prayer. Sure he has a small group of people that are loyal cultists and that works in a 5 man race, but in a one one one race, he gets curb stomped worse than he did tonight.

    This popular vote count shows the Republicans with over 2 million more votes than the Democrats.

    The sad part about tonight is even after Trump was completely exposed as a fraud and an incompetent ass, it won't change anything with the morons that support him.

    Cruz and Rubio did terrible and will plummet

    I think he's blaming the Democrats for the Republican's presidential election problems.

    Not really, sure Trump would be the sole beneficiary of the "insurgent vote", but really the only reason the Trump BS is still going on is due to a race with so many candidates. If the Republicans had their stuff together and got it down to a 2 or 3 man race a long time ago, then Trump wouldn't have won a single state.

    So while I do think that Democrats are voting for Trump in open primaries, that wouldn't be enough to matter if this election had fewer candidates splitting the vote.

    Kasich is the only decent MAN on that stage. It's a sad day in America when the most educated candidate isn't even a conversation starter because there is so much appeal with the fringe, sinister, insult-driven guy.

    This is getting dangerous. I haven't seen such a terrifying and disgusting group of of candidates.

    That is false.

    He would have won Alabama/Nevada/Florida/New York/ etc.

    The results are following the polls pretty well. They've been saying Trump has a ceiling for a long time now yet his numbers keep going up.

    Trump is getting more and more popular as time goes on as people get used to the idea of voting for him.

    If anything Bernie supporters are going to cross over in the general if Hillary is the nominee. You are underestimating the hatred people have for her and the fickleness of millennials.
