This is awesome. Pretty significant. If Cruz really wins with these margins (but we can't really say in Maine) Rubio should drop out.

Yes, he should drop out, unfortunately.

For a while, I thought that Cruz might be the anti-Trump candidate. I think he has even bigger electability problems than Trump, but whatever floats your boat, Republicans.
They're both unelectable.

LOLno.

Rubio is the only candidate I really believed in, that really gave me a special feeling. Cruz doesn't do that for me, and I don't like his dirty tactics at all. But at least he's a true conservative, and Trump is not. At this point it seems pretty clear that Rubio is not going to win, and Trump is going to win in Florida anyway. Therefore I think it is better for him to drop out and let Cruz do the job, though I think Rubio will stay in and perhaps win some states after Florida.

Because he's a low energy moderate, not a real conservative.

It is clear that Caitlyn Jenner's endorsement has had a YUGE influence on late deciders!

Kasich is unelectable in the primary.

Kasich is unelectable in the primary.

He can force it to a brokered convention and win there
Establishment polticians like Kasich are part of the reason why people vote for Trump and Cruz.

He shouldn't do that weird thing with his voice. Otherwise the speech was good, certainly on content.

It's not the sound of his voice that makes him "creepy" or "weird." IMO.
It's his character, and the fact that everyone in his life (co-workers, college friends, etc) find him "strange" and "unapproachable" in normal interaction.
Well, you're probably a Democrat...

Trump campaign say sources on the ground show that Trump is doing exceptionally well in Kentucky right now

Eh?  It's pretty obvious many of his non-Democratic coworkers find him unpleasant, too...
That's true, but few Republican voters see this as a valid reason for themselves to dislike Cruz.

Has nothing to do with being a Democrat or Republican.
Or being fat or skinny, black or white or green, or whatever ...
It's called just being honest.

If you listen to the interviews of past Cruz college friends/acquaintances, who describe Cruz from the past .... you can only come to the conclusion that Cruz is "strange" in conversation or to be around with.
Sweet and simple. Sorry you don't want to see it.
Well, I recognize that reality. But I wouldn't see it as a problem to support such a candidate.

Can someone inform me what's happening? I know Cruz won Kansas, what's happening in the other states? Thanks!
Cruz winning in Maine, Trump winning in Kentucky, but both very early.

David, honey, remember: this is America.

We don't vote based on stupid things like issues, records, or anything of substance.

When a red-blooded, freedom-loving American decides who they will cast their God-given vote for, they will ask themselves questions like, "Can I have a beer with this person? Would I be their roomate?".

Only you namby-pamby Europeans vote on things like, "How will their proposed changes to the budget affect me and society as a whole? Will they start World War III? Are they literally the Zodiac Killer?" etc.

And its the job of sane politicians to stop them . Rubio and Kasich should stay in as long as possible to deny Trump and Cruz  getting over 50% of the delegates and then Rubio or Kasich win the nomination
Well see here's the thing: I like Cruz a lot more than Kasich...
