I agree with bmw's conclusions (in terms of implications), but I thought Rubio outperformed Cruz. Rubio arguably solidified himself as the most viable alternative to Trump. Cruz handled himself poorly on the health care topic, and frankly, CNN saved his ass after moving on despite Cruz making an unb...

I think Donald did lose a shit ton of money post-911 and also during the real estate bust of 2008 and 2009.

I remember him whoring his "brand" for friggin mattresses of all things. And we all know about the Macy's neckties made in China.

Wow, I forgot all about Trump University. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds.

How many people were there? Just curious.

Trump drew 9,000 around Christmas.

Audio is right. Rubio spent far more time than any other GOP candidate in Nevada and only has a mediocre vote total in that state to show for it. Donald kicked his ass.

If Cruz loses or barely wins in Texas, he should strongly consider quitting the race.

Holy mackeral - TT - I completely agree with you!

Not only would I have zero issue voting for Trump in the general election, there is a strong likelihood I'll be voting for him in Michigan's primary.

Basically Trump and Romney are the same, minus Trump's bombast. Their personalities, the way they campaign, and the way they present their messages are very, very different. That matters tremendously. Mitt has been a wannabe lifetime politician since the early 90's. Trump speaks frequently and arde...

Establishment GOP cronies (and Ted Cruz) are either full of shit or guilty of wishful thinking when they say Trump would be easily defeated in a general election. Such a line of thinking is quite humorous when one considers what a disaster Mitt Romney's general election performance turned out to be ...

MW how about another wacky Trump quote: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/20/us/po ... .html?_r=0 flip-flop-flop-flip... He favors the Obamacare Mandate while opposing Obamacare??? I watched the whole exchange live. That's not at all what Trump meant by that remark; the immediately preceding question ...

Small Issue here MW and folx.... The Scalia Family told Obummer YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE AT THE FUNERAL...

I don't believe that to be true for a split second. Mr. Scalia had numerous friends whose judicial and political views were very different than this own.

Trump will win Michigan handily. It won't even be close. I don't see how on earth Rubio wins a primary that George W. lost badly in 2000 and that Romney struggled to win in 2012 (despite his family having strong roots here and Santorum being largely unknown). Even if Kasich drops out, Rubio will sti...

This means trump could very well win the GOP but not have enough votes to win the general because his negatives are entrenched. ...entrenched negatives? Couldn't that same descriptor be applied to Hillary? This "entrenched negatives" issue is ridiculously overblown by the mainstream media pundits. ...

NS8401 - I tip my cap to you. Indeed, Trump cracked 30 percent. You called it correctly. He had a helluva night. I cannot help but wonder if the brouhaha over the Pope's remarks benefited Trump.

I agree with Audio that Rubio's stump speeches are on the boring side.

He dropped out officially one minute ago.

Wow -- Jeb is such a disappointment. Millions and millions spent with minimal return on investment. What an embarrassing performance. Voters have clearly repudiated milquetoast Jeb.

Message matters. Strength matters. Jeb failed in both regards.
