Ted Cruz has teamed up with GOP establishment hack John Kasich, to usurp the will of We The People. The two of them are in cahoots trying to cajole our (rigged) system in Ted’s favor to force a contested convention. Ted can’t mathematically win with the voters, so he’s bribing delegates to try and win on a second ballot at a brokered convention.
From the backlash he’s receiving on Facebook, it appears that many of Ted’s supporters are not pleased with his latest scam.
“I supported you because I believed you were an outsider, boy was I wrong!” scorched one Facebook user. “John Kasich is a progressive loser. Why are you working with him???” bellowed another.
In light of Ted’s latest anti-American stunt, many Facebook users have vowed to back Trump instead. “Ted, you just lost my vote. I guess I’ll support Trump. At least he’s not playing games” commented a one-time Cruz supporter.
It appears that reckless Ted Cruz will go to unbelievable lengths to “win” the nomination, even if that means attacking the American people.

Gee, Kevin, I have a PhD in biochemistry and belong to several honors societies and professional organizations. Plus, my IQ is above 160. And I support Trump.
See, two can play at this game.
BTW, I can fully understand why a lawyer would support another lawyer. Personally, I can't stand the thought of another lawyer president--the ones we've had so far have messed things up so badly.
“Trump’s preferred thugs are mostly based in New York, mobs and unions.”
At least the mobs arr honest in their dishonesty. The GOPe including Cruz still pretend, and want us to think, that they’re noble and good. We’re not buyin’ it any more.
pathetic. taking comments and making a “news story” from it.
“Roger Stone has a book out claiming the Clintons were in on JFK Jr.’s death.”
That theory has been “out there” for a very long time. Clintons perceived him as a thread to PIAPS’ success if/when she ran for president.
“Women sense my power, d-fender. I, uh ... I don’t avoid women. But I do deny them my essence.”
LOL!
I remember the Teamsters beating the crap out of a Clinton protestor (Don Adams, IIRC). When they got to court it was all "Who, me? I dindu nuthin'! He hit me!"
I’ve noticed he reminds me of Obama- “let me be clear”. Yes he is schooling the listener. Trump pulled aside the curtain on all these people, and what has been seen, cannot be unseen.
That's an interesting article that you linked about CO. It appears that Peg Cage has far more integrity than the candidate she supports and many of his other supporters. I hope she rethinks her support of Cruz.
I hope all Cruz-contested-convention supporters take a look at this:

The odds of a contested convention candidate going on to win the general election are almost zero.
“if you’re a Trump follower™ “
Trade-marking “Trump follower”? Really? LOL!
I'm a Trump supporter but I don't think that is it. People pick a candidate and want to feel good about their choice. They want to believe in their candidate. That's the emotion that tags along with a choice for President. Americans are also a loyal bunch. Once they've made a choice they want to give you every opportunity to prove you are worthy of their support. It's hard for them to switch because subconsciously no one wants to admit an error in judgement.
For most people however once their candidate doesn't really have a chance of winning they will come around to support the next person they believe has a chance to become President. In Cruz's case he has help to speed up that process by playing back room games with the process. Americans are basically a fair people and we don't like tactics that suppress the vote of the people.
When you think about it. It may be legal to do what Ted Cruz is doing. But it's also legal for the GOPe to give Obama everything he wants. Once you know a guy will play these kinds of games how do you trust him to stay true to his campaign promises? There's nothing illegal about ignoring those promises. The voters didn't really vote the delegates did and the electoral college did. So for Cruz to get into bed with Kasich, not to unify the party, but to separate it, few people can see that as a good thing.
The key now is will voters in the remaining states weigh in on this and put this to rest? Will they keep the Trump momentum going or will they fall prey to these unfair tactics. Right now more than ever the last states to vote can send a unifying message to the GOPe to get behind the front runner and go after Hillary and win the Presidency. We shall see how it plays out. But imagine the message if states that were pro-Cruz were to suddenly switch to Trump in the waning days of the primaries. . .

Yet you still support Cruz after all that has happened.
BTW there are more then a few Lawyers on here some way more accomplished then the ones who have to tell others how smart they are...
And that’s the statement that caused my mother (92 years old) to finally see Cruz for what he was. Many of her ancestors in the 1700s died so America could have free speech. She didn’t appreciate Cruz trying to stifle Trump’s ability to hold a rally, and his supporters’ ability to listen — even though she didn’t like Trump.
“If we’re going to smear Manafort for his clients, “
They seem to forget that one of Manafort’s clients was Reagan.
Is this picture real, and who is the woman in the middle?
“The odds of a contested convention candidate going on to win the general election are almost zero.”
I pray you’re right! Tonight should be interesting as the returns begin rolling in.
I figured this little scheme would backfire on both of them. Trump’s numbers will rise, and theirs will drop. Trump will take all the remaining primaries with over 50 percent of the vote.
“Reckless Ted! Reckless Ted! Reckless Ted!”
