“Think George Soros donates to Republicans? Does Bill Gates? Does Oprah Winfrey?”

Yes. He does.

George Soros recently contributed money to John Kasich.

Microsoft contributes to both Republicans and Democrats,

Bill Gates does too. He recently contributed to Rubio.

Do they donate at the levels Trump did for Democrats?

Microsoft contributes more.

You are confusing individual donations based on principle and belief with business donations that are based on extortion and the need to protect the business.

You know Bill Gates no longer runs Microsoft, right? He runs the Gates Foundation.

Now that you clairified you distinguish between business vs. personal, explain Trump’s personal donations to Democrats.

Trumps donations are to protect his business. Microsoft’s donations are to protect their business.

Since Trump used his name on his business, he gets a pass from you, huh? If Microsft were called Gates-soft would you afford him the same courtesy?

I have patiently and politely tried to explain this to you.

Businesses are vulnerable. It is are easy for politicians to extort money from them.

That does not mean I would not vote for them over Obama. I would vote for them again.

Romney is not my favorite candidate but he is far better than Obama.

The problem that I have with the establishment Republicans is not that they are insiders but that they say how conservative they are and then vote for whatever Obama wants.

Obama wants the border open and no restrictions on access.

They comply.

Obama wants sanctuary cities.

They comply.

Obama wants Mexican drug cartels to bring heroin into the U.S.

They comply.

Obama wants taxpayer funding of planned parenthood abortions and selling of body parts.

They comply.

Obama wants to arm and support Muslim terrorists.

They comply.

Obama wants to double Federal debt to over $20 trillion.

They comply.

Obama wants amnesty for illegals.

They comply.

Obama wants to force businesses to move overseas.

They comply.

Obama wants the IRS to target honest citizens.

They comply.

Obama wants the VA to mistreat wounded veterans.

They comply.

I could go on but I think you get the idea.

Agreed. Seems obvious. The establishment hates Cruz but is funding him now. Why?

Cruz is also beholden to Goodman Sachs. His wife is the main breadwinner and his health insurance is through them.

Cruz is vulnerable to be primaried and now has a sex scandal surrounding him.

He’s the tool to stop Trump. Then be tossed aside.

He and his followers are delusional.

At least Trump voters can admit his many faults. But he’s the only true counter Uniparty candidate in the race and he doesn’t need their money to run.

If you want a brokered convention and if you support the GOPe efforts to force a brokered convention, be honest enough to say so.

And there lies the crux of the matter. Excellent breakdown. You won't get an honest answer, but what you stated is 100% dead on. And when the GOPe nominates someone other than Cruz or Trump, I will not tolerate Cruzers saying that they were robbed. Everyone here is smart enough to know what is going on, some just don't want to admit it.

I Have CLEARLY posted my opinions on the Actions of the RNC and the Convention rules.

And I have CLEARLY posted my opinion on that. If you think "Nighttime Teddy" will win the nomination after the GOPe invoke this you are sadly mistaken.

So what?

You’re not complaining when liberal Democrats support Trump.

Get over it.

Get it right.
