No One Hates Ted Cruz Like Republicans...
Republican Senators warned of an open rebellion and "cataclysmic losses" in the general election if Ted Cruz won the republican nomination. Senator Bob Dole called Cruz an "extremist" and questioned his allegiance to the Republican party.

Hilary Clinton and Bernie Sanders exchanged blows over healthcare, financial reform and gun control. Meanwhile, YouTube "bloggers" asked the candidates a few questions in an awkward attempt to appease people below the age of 30. Here are some highlights from the debate:
