Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz took a victory lap Saturday in front of hundreds of Inland Northwest voters and pleaded with those supporting other candidates to unite against frontrunner Donald Trump. “If Donald is our nominee, in all likelihood we lose to Hillary Clinton, we lose the U.S. Senate, we lose the Supreme Court for a generation, we lose the Bill of Rights, we lose the future of our kids,” said Cruz, appearing at the Kootenai County Fairgrounds on a whirlwind stop through Idaho. The state will hold a presidential primary Tuesday where 32 delegates are up for grabs. The Texas senator appeared just minutes after media outlets began calling his victory in the Kansas presidential primary over Trump, Marco Rubio and Kasich/ Kip Hill , SR. More here.
