Winner Ted Cruz is continually being attacked by sore loser Donald Trump. Their so called b-romance is quickly evolving into a brawl and its about to intensify. What neither one of these knuckleheads realize is that it's Marco Rubio, who may be the one declaring victory.

We also wonder how The Donald will react if he realizes that he was trumped by Latinos?

A simple set of questions are defined by Kipling in his immortal poem:

I have six faithful serving men

They taught me all I knew

Their names are What and Where and When

And Why and How and Who

They are also known by the less prosaic '5W1H' and are useful for general questioning and probing. Here are some question 'starters for ten'...

What
What, specifically,...?
What next?
What else?
Where
Where else?
Where are you?
Where, exactly...?
When
When, exactly, will you...?
When will it start/end?
When will I know?
Why
Why does that happen?
Why not?
