Thank you! Stealing it! The “I’m An Ass” .gif that is!
“What did Cruz apologize to Carson for? “
For not being aware of Carson’s statement hours later that he was not dropping out.
Cruz called Carson that night and tried to make amends even offering a public apology but Carson took the low road.
Cruz NEVER said Carson was dropping out.
Not me, right?
“The Canadian born son of a Cuban father has ZERO chance of ever being US President. Even if the Republicans dobt reject him the Democrats will nullify him.”
GO AWAY Tead!
I want to see him bound & gagged wearing the red mountie costume with a cuban cigar. Can’t stand his condescending tone or smirk.
“Turns out no power corrupts absolutely too.”
Ha ha. Good one. I laughed out loud.
His people did all over the state. Is Cruz not responsible for his staff?
Ha, I’ve heard, “He’s all hat, and no cattle!”
Apparently, He’s got neither.
needs to remain
“He’s all boots, and no electors”
Ted Cruz: “I am still the king of voterless states!”
Carson's denial that he was dropping out happened in minutes, not hours on Twitter. Check the time line, you've been lied to.
Thirty years a cowboy and never stepped in sh*t!
Watch California’s primary election, the candidate chooses his own loyal delegates bound officially through the first vote. 172 delegates, 53 CDs
“The selection of Presidential Nominating Convention Delegates to the Republican National Convention ... shall be chosen by the Presidential candidate who obtained the plurality of Republican votes within each Congressional district, and, for ... at large ... by the Presidential candidate who obtained the plurality of Republican votes statewide. [Standing Rules and Bylaws of the California Republican Party As Amended 20 September 2015 Article VI Section 6.01 (A)]”
“His people did all over the state.”
His people did what?
I love it!
It was a shot over the bow, and it worked!
Ted shocked everyone and jumped out of the race! Left the GOP hanging!
So how’s he gonna spend the $9,562,000 he had on hand the day he dropped out?
There you go again, all this handwringing over what you, without providing anything to back up your opinion, think may have happened, if this or whatabout that. This article is a jumbled mess of what ifs. Has Ted issued any statements saying that he was planning on changing the rules for THIS convention that would preclude Trump from being the nominee? Has he made any statement that he is planning to run in 2020? The answer to both questions is no. He has said he is planning to run for reelection in 2018 and he thinks he has some better ideas on how to run the convention. Whether the convention ideas are better is open for debate. You read some articles that make up some sensational and misleading headlines, that pick up on the same Politico piece claiming that Ted is going to take over the world. And the handwringing continues. This is a crazy distraction from what the real agenda right now should be; defeating Hillary. Trump needs ALL the votes he can get and the incessant hit pieces on Ted, and then the attempted flogging of anyone who calls for taking a deep breath and dares not be as outraged as NeverCruz thinks they should be ain’t winning anyone over to Trump.
Psst, I heard that Beautiful Gracious Skies is a Jeb troll who is trying to outmaneuver Cruz outmaneuver Trump at the convention and by making all these off the wall accusations about Ted is making sure the spotlight is off Jeb (haha, as if that is a problem) so he can get his 89 delegates from Florida to take over the national convention. Crazy conspiracy theories are kind of fun, but that’s all they are.
You’ve done a great job of making us all aware that Politico thinks Ted is going to crash the convention. Thanks. It’s an interesting theory. If it actually does happen it’s going to take a lot more than posting about it here and calling your reps to reverse it.
Here’s a curious scenario: Ted Cruz crashes the convention, somehow gets enough delegates to change the rules for this convention and in so doing becomes the republican nominee. Do you vote for him to keep Hillary out? Or are you NeverCruz and allow Hillary to sail into office? I think this is about as likely of happening as the nonsense above about Jeb.
Canceling open primaries is a decent idea.
Ted should keep his big fat yap shut for a while.
Ted lost closed primaries aplenty.
I am so sick of this self-centered village idiot.
