in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Well today’s the Indiana primary, and aren’t you all excited about that? I didn’t think so.

After his superior effort on Super Tuesday, in which he captured seven states, it appears that nothing can prevent “Teflon Don” from his improbable run to the Republican nomination for president. However, Trump did not run the table, with Oklahoma going to Ted Cruz unexpectedly (Cruz also took Alaska and Texas, while Marco Rubio won Minnesota).
