Yeah, and if he’s elected to the presidency unicorns will frolic on the white house lawn, leaving small mounds of Skittles in their wake.

Meanwhile, back here on planet Earth, Ted Cruz can’t get to 1237 delegates and isn’t even campaigning at this point to do anything but be a fly in the ointment at the convention.

Enough is enough. Stop backing a spoiler candidate and unite, so we can get to work beating Hillary.

You can not win with just the conservative vote. As bad as the establishment is they are closer in view than the dems are.

Just because you seek their vote does not mean you must cave to their demands. They must be educated as to why your way is better.

Even Trump is close to some establishment people. Look at Chris Christie. He supports Trump and he is establishment.

Sorry but no I am not. But a bunch of Trump supporters sure are brainwashed.

Dude, seriously. You are totally misinformed, brainwashed, whatever you want to call it. Get out of the Cruz bubble for your own good. Educate yourself.

The Donald puts NY, NJ, CT, PA, FL, MI, AND CA solidly in the “Very Possible” category. Our Man Ted, alone, doesn’t have that power.

NY isn't in play for Trump.

Move past the rhetoric, the point is that Colorado is what’s wrong with the system; it’s an elitist’s game. No, Ted didn’t cheat; yes, the game was rigged. Ted played the game by the establishment’s rules. Trump played the game by his rules, he spotlighted why the system doesn’t work for the rank and file Republicans. Ted was damaged by the association with the establishment’s way of controlling the outcome.

Let me set this straight for you.

I have no idea what the left says because I dont get cable TV. I dont have cable because I dont agree with their viewpoint.

Their are different types of attacks. Trumps are quite often personal. I dont know if he does substantive attacks because he turns me off with the personal attacks. Kind of like the liberal media I just tuned him out for pretty much the same reason.

As for holding fast I was never totally sold on Trump. To much in his past screams liberal. I am willing to believe him when he says he has changed but how can I when he tells me over and over he was cheated and he was not. I understand delegate selection in my state because of the crap that happened in the last election. And to me it appears he is trying to play the victim position by lying about being cheated. This makes me less likely to believe he has changed his liberal position.

So believe what you want and attack me if you want it will not change my position.

Because our Constitution isn’t the problem, the way government runs is the problem.

Tell Trump to knock off the attacks and get busy with it.
Cruz defended Trump till Trump got nasty.

It’s a lot more in play than the Cruz campaign talking points would lead one to believe when you take a hard look at the numbers. Doesn’t really matter, since it’s all academic at this point anyway, but I did a back of the napkin analysis of the numbers this morning and it’s not as far off as you might think.

Sure and Trump supporters are not brain washed?

I was a lurker during the 2008 and 2012 purges.
Not my site, not my policy.
I don’t want to see some good freepers gone, but Jim says it is decision time.

Wake up. Trump has stopped attacking. It’s Cruz who has been relentless in his nastiness for MONTHS, not Trump. It’s CRUZ who flew off the handle on Hannity yesterday when asked a simple question. It’s Cruz who has repeatedly lied about Trump’s positions on issues. It’s Cruz who has made up phony ‘landslide victories’.

And it is Cruz who is losing. So, stop supporting spoilers and making it easier for the Democrats to win in November, please.

Everyone has a team.
Having a soccer brawl does not change the final outcome.
Its just rough on the kids and rough on the furniture.

You are the first Trump supporter that actual sees that it was the system that was the problem in Colorado and not Cruz that I have seen.

That said even though the rules sucked the rules did not stop registered republicans from participating. And that Is something I liked about it. I am tired of cross over voters deciding who our candidate is. That is how we got Romney.

Well, maybe you should stop worrying about who is more ‘brainwashed’ and wrap your head around the fact that Trump is going to be the nominee, so you’re either with us or your for Hillary. Which is it?

Trump is going to be the nominee. There is our team and the Democrats. Which are you on?

Really?
What kind of question is that? A loaded diversionary one.
We were talking about the Republican primary.

Goodnight.

Every Trump supporter I know is well aware of the system being the problem. It’s so obvious to all of them that they don’t even need to say the words.

Do you know why people blame it on Cruz and Cruz gets the brunt of their upset about the system being at fault?

Because he crows about ‘winning’ like an arrogant assh*le when he didn’t ‘win’ anything but support from the corrupt system. You know...the ‘Washington Cartel’ he used to talk about when some of us still had a modicum of trust left for the man.
