    And you can stick a fork in Bernie too. Only the FBI can save the curmudgeon now.

    Haha exactly right, but I wouldn't count on the FBI, looks like those guys packed up their nuts and started looking for the nearest gender friendly bathroom. It is now the FBNI Federal Bureau of not Investigating. Hopefully if Trump wins the general he can set about seeing which people there need to lose their careers for dropping that ball.

    I thought this was kind of a neat test for the candidates, since only those registered with a political party can vote, and no outside independents not registered for that particular party can vote... of course meaning nobody who is "independent" can vote in either election... so its quite telling to see those who are registered with the party, debunked the notion the party doesn't want Trump, its quite clear they sent a loud message when they were the only ones allowed to vote, they do want him...

    I was also surprised that Kasich was so high above Cruz, it would appear, I guess at least in liberal new york, that Cruz is the least attractive republican of them all... now I also realize Kasich is gaining appeal because he's not the loud mouth vile worded person that seems to be how you win an election, people are slowly picking "the nicer guy", now tie that in wish Kasich being a little more towards center than Cruz and it makes sense he would perform better in a left of center state...

    but quite the slam dunk for Trump... a relatively good show for Kasich in case the convention doesn't have a winner, I think he's a good bet in that scenario to steal it...

    LOL. Not quite. If you think any New Yorker forgot Cruz's "NY values" crack, you're sadly mistaken. And, as nice a guy as he may be, Kasich still came off as a hay seed in the Big Apple.

    So...yeah, it was a slam dunk for Trump. But he scored it on this:

    The Empire will strike again when Hillary Clinton crushes Donald Trump (if he becomes the candidate)

    More people voted for Hillary Clinton (almost 30% more) in New York yesterday than voted for ALL the GOP candidates put together!

    Mmmkay, then you should be hoping he is the gop pick then. Voting for clinton is like voting for darth vader only more irresponsible. She let four Americans die, then lied about, while at the same time putting out national security at risk. Why are people voting for her again...can you tell us why you support her? Is it her support of the bush war?

    The conclusion is clear. NY wants nothing to do with conservatism. No surprise.

    Grotesque. She's a disgusting, repugnant, hideous, foul, oderous lying demagogue. I'd rather deal with Trump before I dealt with Clinton.

    The Empire died times ago, in the east, in Persia and Greece(close counselors). Byzantium wasnt able to revive him and the low room of its imagined senate(europe) wasnt able to stay on the road. The bad guys of europe(americans) can strike everywhere but they cannot understand the situation, neither they understood!

    I would rather not deal with either of them. Trump has no respect for individual rights and freedoms and he is just as much of an oderous lying demagogue. Trump is an elitist (eugenicist of you want the proper term) who thinks that hierarchy in society should be maintained on the basis that it was created through genetic superiority and therefore should not be tampered with.

    The raging masses are nothing more than dirt under his feet. They are where they are because of genetic inferiority and so should not be encouraged or helped to rise up.

    On a smaller scale. I can not support someone who want's to force personal religious beliefs on others through Law(physical violence, coercion, fine, imprisonment).

    If he is too stupid to figure out that a single human cell is not a human this is one thing. Trying to force this belief on others through law is quite another. There is a difference between 1) Having a belief and 2) forcing that belief on others.

    Trump does not get this difference. Don't get me wrong - Hillary does exactly the same thing using arguments that are almost as stupid and vile.

    At the end of the day both hate individual rights and freedoms and are wont to trample on the constitution.

    When did Trump ever make the arguments of genetic superiority? This is why America can't have nice things: Stupid people, stupid voters, false claims.

    Lol. Yeah, because she'll be bringing Bill back into the White House with nothing to do except chase interns.

    You should have said it would be like voting for Darth Vader only with less compassion.

    38% of all Republican voters so far wanted Trump. 62% want someone else.

    More than that. Here is an interesting article: Majority of Americans can't fathom supporting Trump or Clinton (or Cruz)


    https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-clinton-cruz-majority-wont-support-143030280.html

    But this is nationwide and not just Republicans. But it comes into play in November with the general electorate and not just Republicans.

    This gets to my point(a complaining point). I HATE primaries. Particularly, I hate elections across States. While you can elect an official in your own State(or district, for local elections), you can't do anything about the official in a neighboring state, or district(or in this case, primaries.)

    It was "all but decided" through the South, because they were the first primaries. And because the South is less than politically aware. And many of the politically correct candidates, were not good debaters. It's as though Rubio had his eyes on Hillary, but only Hillary. Once Christie/Trump attacked him, he was caught with a tail between legs.

    (of course, I liked what Rubio had to say in the debates but that's just me. Obviously, others didn't agree.)

    A major example of this, is Harry Reid. People voted for Republicans, not for the validity of Republicans but because we wanted to oust Harry Reid. But Reid wasn't up for reelection, so we had to go the other route.

    The punishment that one bad apple, from one state can do to the entire system is swept under the rug. But it's a huge problem.
