When you play with fire, you get burned.

Maybe we should attend Trump University and discover how Donny ran Trump Shuttle.

Yup. That’s the GOP strategy alright. They have to knock off one of the two front runners first, then they’ll gang up and concentrate all their big bucks and GOP firepower to take out the other. Cruz is the easier target so he gets the GOP shaft first. And they’re betting that the Cruz supporters would rather go for Rubio than Trump so they’ll help give the GOP shaft to Trump.

Say hello to amnesty pushing Bruto Rubio, the next true blue GOPe RINO loser if they succeed.

I pray that both Cruz and Trump remain the strong front runners and keep Rubio, Kasich and Bush way down in the single digits to the bitter end.

I agree with that. No doubt about it.

Yes, I “know” that method works.

But IT WILL NOT HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE>

If the method “works” it HAS TO BE “workable.”

Now, the good news is that computers are 100% predictable (Jim sighs, wishes that were true) so any single repeatable action is repeatable automatically.

You mean Christian behavior like having an anti-Christ cultist giving a 90 minute Social Justice sermon at your rally? You mean like carrying around a Mormon idol around in your pocket for a day? That Christian behavior.

I like Cruz, but he is running a terrible campaign.

Pray America wakes

Trump is self-funded too, so there is not very much the GOPe can do to stop the big money donors, but they can probably hurt Cruz.

I was paid to write a computer program in 1965. The first “word processor” I used was a WPS-8 from Digital Equipment Corporation in 1978. So it is just experience, not necessary smarts. ;-)

The Establishment is fine with Trump; it’s Cruz they HATE. That’s what happens when you don’t play the Establishment’s game.

I stand by my original assessment ;-)

That’s really cool, btw.

Well said, it’s exactly what they’re trying to do.

The crazy extra symbols are so bad and they are really terrible in this article, I have to click through to the original article on that website to read every article posted even if the whole article is on here.

When I make a post, I do not use contraction of words, such as, “don’t”. I type, “I do not” instead and I take the contractions out of any quotes of others I post. I will see if this post has extra symbols in the contraction. This really needs to be fixed some way, some how.

Why is Trump playing the GOP game, Jim? Why the scorched earth, sow the ground with salt attack on Cruz?

Does he think Cruz supporters will come flocking to him if he drives Ted from the field?

He’s not a nice guy. Has probably learned that nice guys finish last.

The banners of Nationalism and Patriotism were thrown to the floor by Bush the elder in exchange for a “new world order”. They have remained there for 25 years and the GOP never deigned to pick them up. Trump just did the obvious.

At the end of it all, it may be his fatal flaw. Burnt bridges can be difficult, if not impossible to cross over on.
