It's different for me. For the first time since 2000, I cast a vote for someone I really want to be President. Someone with whose policies I agree. Someone who, unlike Trump, has a consistent record of being conservative and fighting for conservative values. I am very happy today to have cast my vote for Ted Cruz.

Big win for Cruz in Utah, and I saw in one place he won Idaho, but everything I've seen on Idaho is from the Democratic caucus. So did Cruz win Idaho or not?

Yes, he did - IDAHO 45.4% of votes
Trump won 28.1%

Utah: Ted - 69.2%
Trump - 14%

I would note that Donald Trump has never, in any primary win, gone over 50%. That means that 50% of the electorate don't want him.

The Phoenix Mayor sent a request to the JustUs Dept, asking for an investigation into voter suppression in low income and minority neighborhoods. There wasn't any voter suppression, just pathetic planning.

Our elections chief thought downsizing from over 200 to 60 polling places in Maricopa county would be a good idea. That, plus they said a lot of Independent voters came and tried to register.

People waited 4 to 6 hours to vote in the valley yesterday! It was ridiculous.

Thankfully I had an early ballot and walked to the front to drop it off.

PO - he took the N. Mariana Islands Primary with 73%.
Cruz has been over 50% twice, Wyoming and Utah.

Yes, that is right, Trump won the remote US territory with 471 votes cast. LOL! Cruz won 24%; Rubio .01%; Kasich .02%

Cruz is doing very well as Rush Limbaugh opines:

RUSH: I think the fact that Ted Cruz is in second place is astounding. Ted Cruz has been ignored from the first day of his campaign. ... Ted Cruz is in second place; he has been given no time by the Drive-By Media. He has been shown no respect. They have not treated him as a viable candidate. He has been hammered over and over by every other candidate one way other another. Ted Cruz has been lambasted. He is very rarely given a chance to rebut the things that are said about him. He is routinely one of the speakers at each debate that speaks the least.

There's some exceptions in some debates, but for the most part he's among the least. He is hated by the establishment, and they are the ones that totally ignore him. The party has not lifted a finger to help him -- and even now when they are starting to, they make it known that they're not happy to be doing it. ... He is being dwarfed and swamped by unprecedented coverage of Trump, who hasn't had to spend any money to get it. Ted Cruz has raised money left and right. There are all kinds of people giving money to Ted Cruz, and nobody talks about it.

Nobody wants to talk about Ted Cruz. We're told over and over that everybody in the Senate hates him. We're told over and over everybody in Washington hates him. But yet he's in second place and he's won nine states. So you're asking me if I think Ted Cruz can win? Yeah, I do. I don't think it's anywhere near over yet. Everybody wants you to believe that it is. Everybody wants you to believe one of two things: It's over, Cruz is not gonna get there, Trump is, or we're gonna go to a contested convention and it's gonna be between Kasich and whoever else the establishment can throw up.

It still amazes me. You have the establishment types with their secret dinner meetings like last night near here in Palm Beach trying to figure out how to game the convention so that one of theirs can get the nomination. Then you have these conservatives who are plotting, trying to come up with a third-party candidate. And here, again, nobody's talking about Ted Cruz. And he's there every day, and he's out campaigning. He's going everywhere, and he is in second place despite all of the obstacles that have been put in his way. So I think he can win.

I pray that it is not too late!
It is amazing that it took the Republican establishment this long to understand that he is the only hope of stopping Trump.

I'm a bit disappointed with the recent support from Graham, Bush and some others. It was kind of a badge of honor Cruz wore when those guys were trashing him.

I don't believe their support is actually helping Cruz. More the opposite, really.

David, The Establishment is coming to Ted Cruz, he isn't going to them. Big difference.
