True. That is a relatively strong showing in what is pretty hostile territory for someone like Cruz.

Perhaps some rogue Canadians snuck across the border to vote for their compatriot.

Isn't he already the RNC's hit guy to knock Rubio out of the race?

He'll be crushed there by Trump and Cruz and fall back into single digit numbers.
The thing is that, imo, we NEED someone like Kasich (a moderate, imo) to bring this country together again. I am 62, and I have NEVER seen this country so polarized between the (extreme) liberals and the (extreme) conservatives -- no, not even in the late 60's, and that is saying something! There just seems to be so much hate going on now.

So, bottom line for me is that I will vote for whoever I perceive as being the most "in the middle", whether that means a so-called RINO or a so-called DINO (a conservative in liberal clothing or vice versa).

However, I must admit that I just cannot see myself voting for HRC or Bush, no matter what -- and if it came to a choice between Sanders and Trump . . . well, all I can say is that I just HOPE that it doesn't come to that! (However, if that were the choice, I would probably, although very reluctantly, vote for Sanders.)

Yep he did Thank God..because he certainly decided to sever relationship once benefits wasn't beneficial...Teddy Boy is is BS/Snake oil Salesman..and actually I tend to think he slither's?????

My question is..who the heck would vote for this guy..since he obviously has NOT INTEREST in regular Americans...ONLY self Serving backers..who do NOT want Government to control that wholesale SUCKING $$$ to those backing him..and throw the Country under the BUS!! What does he care?? Bet he has his $$$ Off Shore?? and his wife ( Heidi) has also diverted $$ into offshore accounts...SLEEZE!!!

BTW~~ Please never send him back here to Canada..but them again..Here in Canada HE WOULD NEVER get away with such BS!! Kind of explains why he disavowed relationship with Canada..LOL

If Trump was a stock which we bought for one cent on June 16, we'd be a millionaire now.

With 84% of precincts reporting Bernie is thrashing Hillary 60% to 39% - her campaign talking heads are going to be spinning like tops on the shows tomorrow trying to downplay this blowout.

I saw a report on Politico yesterday stating Slick Willy was upset at the direction the campaign was heading - should her staff be fearing for their lives?
