I am truly saddened by the numbers of people who voted for Trump

I thought we were better than that as a country.

Sure we've got nuts, assholes, and meanies, but for so many to vote for this blatant selfish hate monger is just sad.

That's all I got.

why prospective Democratic voters may just go for Trump. Very useful introspection on our part.

However, understand Trump understands the GOP so well that he will get their votes. Look what he said about them decades ago;

Cruz seems to be the most viable alternative though, so why be so sad that Trump beat him?

Every vote for Trump is a vote for the destruction of the republican party.

Plus, Cruz is 10 times worse so this effectively blocks him from the nomination.

It's a night to celebrate.
