Trump has only surpassed 40% in eight of the 21 states he has won. He's a comically weak frontrunner.
How did Cruz face significantly more competition? Texas was basically a 3 man race as well.
92% of the votes went to the top 3 candidates. Even if you remove the bottom 2 candidates and only count the top 3, and then recalculate, Cruz still doesn't even break 50%.
You can't make a statement declaring that it is not a great feat to get 60% in your home state when the candidate that you support does far worse in HIS own state.
What does that say about the candidate that does far worse in his own state?
Cruz has consistently done better in caucus states or states where the general public didn't vote at all. I think that says something about Cruz's lack of appeal. The general election in November isn't a caucus.

Cruz isn't my candidate, as if. I'm watching this GOP implosion from the outside, laughing.
Trump getting 60% is impressive; his prior results have anything but.

The general election isn't as heavy with rightwing conservatives (Trump's base) either. He would be roadkill if he makes it that far.

What competition? If Cruz is the outsider he claims to be, Trump was his only competition. Kasich or Rubio should have had no bearing on how well he (or Trump) did since they were establishment.
Her primary IS over. Sanders can't win, so from a strategy standpoint, it seems stupid to try to stop a republican candidate that you know you can beat. At least at this stage in the game. It just seems to me that if she was so sure of her victory against Trump, she would save these attacks until after Trump gets the 1237.
Her attacks are working to her base and showing she is it.
She has constantly pivoted to Trump every time for months now, that she wants to show she has beaten Bernie.
Besides, you are acting like she hasn't attacked Cruz at all either.

I never said you were a Cruz supporter. I've been here long enough to know who is who. The post was referring to another poster and your statement in defense of Cruz's unimpressive victory in Texas.

Hmm. Doesn't this mean you have married yourself to a political party instead of choosing a candidate based on merit? Seems to me you won't be having the last laugh in that scenario.
IMO, both the GOP & DNC need to implode. What they have sent us as establishment candidates in the last 16 years is evidence enough of this.

The DNC will never implode, most democrat voters are happy with their party and will continue to be.
Republican voters can continue to sabotage the GOP, but that will just result in more Democrat victories.
Democrats have won 6 out of the past 7 popular votes and I assume will win a good number of the next 7, maybe all 7, if Republicans keep fighting with each other.
