Uh, you realize there are 10 other states voting, right? If Trump wins at least eight or nine of them — which seems probable at this point — then those will be tears of joy. He'll have essentially clinched the nomination.

12 other states actually and states like CO, VA, VT, TN are still up in the air and Rubio was leading the last MN polls 3 weeks ago. I could see Trump, Cruz and Rubio all winning several states and we will be well on our way to a brokered convention. Trump will get the shaft but it will be too late to go Independent and all he can do is go cry and have a Trumpertantrum on his Twitter.

Default Beware the Emerging Trump Tsunami!

The Emerging Trump Super Tuesday Tsunami » Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!

Cruz is finished already. "You reap what you sow." Cruz should be more than aware as a "Christian" what he has stepped into. Such a breath of fresh air to know that he is finished! God keeps his promises and I am so surprised Cruz didn't know that. What kind of Christian doesn't know that?

Colorado isn't listed on the official GOP schedule, so I don't think it's awarding any delegates. Also, per the polling, Tennessee and Vermont are hardly up for grabs.

You may see that, but Rubio is only up in one poll in one state. Minnesota happens to be where I live, and given the history of the state's GOP caucuses (in '12, it was [1]Santorum [2]Paul [3]Romney), I'm pretty suspicious of an establishment candidate prevailing. So right now, it's looking like Cruz wins Texas, Trump wins everything else (and the nomination).

Last TN GOP poll was in Nov, an eternity ago and Trump was barely up 4 points. The only Vermont poll was conducted by some company named Castleton Polling institute lol. Hardly reliable on either front.

So I guess that makes Rubio the Anchor Baby....

Natural Born means born in the USA not another country, so much for your theory....

incorrect. An "anchor baby" is a baby born to parents illegally in a country so they can stay. Rubio's parents were here legally.

I see, so when it's someone you don't like the poll is invalid, but when it's someone you like it's something to support?

What does everyone think Dexter will do if Trump wins the nomination and all his theories go into the toilet?

Please tell me how a poll from 3 months ago is in any way still relevant now. We still had 17 candidates running 3 months ago
