    Ted Cruz wins Idaho.

    Only 32 delegates, so it's pretty much small potatoes.

    Cruz has now had robocalls tell voters Carson and Rubio are dropping out of races before primaries, which was untrue in both cases.

    Wait, I thought it was you that couldn't explain why you didn't like him, something about being fiscal conservative? Wasn't my business so I didn't read much of it

    For the record I could quite easily describe why I like kasich, especially regarding the issues I believe to be most important, free trade, and market-driven economic policy, as well as proactive foreign policy.

    Trump believes in proactive foreign policy. Kill them before they kill us.

    Maybe, but his views have evolved over the last two weeks. No more committing war crimes that you guys all supported.

    Trump is espousing a noninterventionist foreign policy and attacking trade disparity - it seems pretty clear we are sending our wealth elsewhere, places where quality of life is low and human rights are sparingly applied. I like the former and the latter makes sense. He is in favor of shoring up the border, which I also like. He's got an effective debate style that isn't PC and only halfway serious.

    Trump is the alpha male version of Hillary. He just says whatever. And his protectionist trade nonsense is catastrophic

    I agree with noninterventionism as much as possible although it's not possible to Rand Paul and just ignore the rest of the world. As for his protectionism plan, Martin is correct. It's a disaster. Trade imbalance is an issue, but his plan makes it worse overall, not better.
