Without David Duke's support, Trump's leads in the southern states he did win would have been much smaller (GA, TN, AL).
By the time the Clintons get done with Trump, 9 out of 10 Hispanics will not vote for him (not to mention the African-American vote).
As I have said from the very start, contrary to each and every other opinion posted here, Trump's role/mission is to prepare the way for someone else.
Not only would Trump lose to either Clinton or Sanders, but the elections for the Senate and the House will turn into a nightmare for the GOP.
Trump is history for the Republican party.
From now on, Trump is going to have to deal with the Trump university scam, the tax returns issue, the New York Times tapes, the KKK comments: it is all over.
How is any delegate at the Cleveland convention going to vote for Trump, once his tax returns are out in the open?
Cruz won his home state big (exactly as I have said from the beginning), a thing that neither Rubio nor Kasich would be able to do.
No matter how much DC dislikes him, Cruz can win against either Clinton or Sanders, he can unify the GOP so that they will win handily in the Senate and the House.
Rubio might have a chance against Clinton, but he does not have the charisma needed to bring the necessary results for the GOP in either the Senate or the House races.
The ultimate Democratic insiders know it too.

Tonight Iowa has proclaimed to the world:
morning is coming. (T. Cruz)
Donald is not going to make America great, he's going to make America
orange. (M. Rubio)
