“Jeb dropped out awhile back, so “warm spit” is no longer an option....”

I may be wrong, but I don’t believe Jeb ever “dropped out”. I think he only suspended his campaign, meaning he just pressed the pause button and is ready, willing, and able to re-appear when the GOPe wants to present him front-and-center.

Hey, Kit - I think a huge portion of former Cruz supporters dumped him for Trump back when he blamed Trump for the rioting in Chicago. Americans can disagree on many things, but for a GOP candidate to NOT stand up for free speech, there’s a huge problem. I’ve always hated Cruz, but him standing with Soros, #BLM, etc., seemed to be a turning point in his pathetic, sleazy career.


Agree, completely.

Then it was the IA/Carson’s getting out lie.

And, finally....the delegate debacle.

Folks are finally waking up to Lyin Ted......thankfully!!

I agree but which attorney general is going to take on their party. Both the Republican and Democratic Party are complicit.

Is this another phony Trump tweet? There’s about 6,000 of them floating around and this has all the earmarks.

Right Madam,

Cruz supporters exited in stages, here’s what I remember-

1) Realization that Ted is Canadian born and not Texan by birth -ineligible

2) Cruz’s lack of support for 1st Amdm. after rioting Chicago BLM thugs

3) Ted’s New York values comment felt far beyond the state of NY

4) Ted’s defeat in The South & key battleground states- unelectable

5) Release of Melania’s modeling photo followed by a flimsy denial

6) Enquirer expose’ led to discovery: Amanda Carpenter’s exit timed & 500K transfer to Fiorino PAC. Circumstantial tweets lending plausibility to the NE allegations.

7) Championing of ‘Ted-victories’ in states holding voterless elections.

8) Trump’s yuge NY win knocking Ted out for a clean win.

9) Gloating over delegates poached from Trump winnings

10) Ted’s posturing with media growing worse: BECK, Levine, Rush

I don’t know and don’t care. Santorum had the same super pacs Cruz has so he should have been on top of the delegate situation.

Here’s the deal, in a normal election, and Santorum was in a normal election, candidates rise and fall according to elections. In a normal primary, Kasich and Cruz would have dropped when they were mathematically eliminated.

But because there are billionaires backing Cruz and Kasich to stop Trump, to pass TPP, to keep the insider game going, they are running around helping the GOP steal delegates because their master plan is to get to a 2nd ballot and override the voters. No one could have seen this coming because no one would have suspected such evil corruption actually exists in our government.

But it does so here we are.

The article that describes Santorum's failure is interesting because it describes how he lost dibs on them.

-- No one could have seen this coming because no one would have suspected such evil corruption actually exists in our government. --

Quite a few people see the government as a corrupt banana republic. One needn't look too far to find evidence of that.

So are you trying to say that Ted’s partnership with the cartel, that his cooperation with the GOP to steal votes is ok? I don’t understand what you’re trying to say because surely it’s not to absolve Cruz.

No. I'm not trying to say that. I'm trying to say that it should not come as a surprise, and that it (as well as some really serious shady deals from the government) doesn't come as a surprise to many people.

Separately (more or less), the value to learning why Santorum lost delegates in Ohio is primarily to give appropriate weight to the critics who bring up what is claimed to be Trump's old tweets.

Today's Republican Party is NOT the Republican Party I signed up to, 55 years ago...

It is Not the same Party my late parents belonged to all their voting lives, and raised three kids to be good voting Republicans.

I to raised my two adult kids to be, Conservative, to value Families, respect one another and be successful and get good grades in school and DON'T BRING HOME A DATE, IF THEY COME FROM A DEMOCRAT FAMILY AND SMOKE...(wink~wink.. my son added that one!!!)

The house needs to be cleaned out and fumigated. FR will be better than ever without these people. The USA is in the fight for its life. But it’s all some kind of game to the Cruzers, stuck in 1980 (which is the language Cruz used to manipulate, instead of using the language that applies: globalism, sovereignty, world organizations taking over control of every facet of USA independence...Instead they are arguing Taft vs. Eisenhower. Those things were important, and are, but General Patton didn’t pause a war to settle who sleeps in the top bunk or who peels potatoes. If you stop for that, you will be CRUSHED and there will be no more NATION in which to ARGUE personal ideologies. I am a conservative. But the fight now is with GLOBALISTS, not hippies on college campuses. We’re fighting organizations like the WTO and the UN which WILL destroy the USA, treaties like TPP which will make failed treaties of the early 20th century look like tic-tac-toe. If we have no borders and no jobs, and what jobs we have are filled by an unlimited supply of Indians-—that is, the jobs that haven’t been offshored-—our LIFESTYLE is going to look like those cardboard houses on mountainsides in Bangladesh or somewhere. Cruzers live in a dream world. Fighting the last war. That’s why Trump is a visionary. He truly sees the 30,000 foot view.

You rested your case a long time ago. Trump has admitted many times openly about having to bribe people in business (he called it greasing the politicians - like Hillary).. so you think that it’s OK for him to admittedly bribe for his own purposes, but laments Cruz for lobbying for delegate votes? And! By the way! What he calls bribery in politics is political solicition for votes. Trump has been sued by more folks than anyone for a reason. I am not for any candidate before the convention. Bit I am against the constant personal attacks that I have seen on this forum. If you have specific cases of wrongdoing, then post them by all means. ‘I heard or I read’ means nothing to me. They are just itching ears. Now is the time to set all of the BS and bickering aside and try to reach common ground. If we don’t unify, then we will have a democratic president and the consequences that come with that.
