“be sure your sins will find you out” and
“nothing is hidden but it should be brought to light, what you see in secret, proclaim from the rooftops...”
seem to indicate that a little dirt can go a long way towards making things right.
“It can become a help to either side. Running on pure emotion is how we got here.”
You need to understand the difference between emotion and logic. I made a moral argument based upon logic.
Legal and ethical are not always the same thing. I believe that Mr Trump won over 50% of the vote in Louisiana he should have received more than 50% of the delegates. If he had ethics he would have not manipulated the system like a democrat.
“You need to understand the difference between emotion and logic. I made a moral argument based upon logic.”
Oh. I thought we were talking like adults. My mistake. Sorry.
Wait til new York and the Trump train starts rolling. Trump will hire the best to put him back on track. He needs a charm offesive to win back the people who don’t like him. Stick to the proven—like Build the Wall! I would add the need for a new armed forces—The Border Guard—like the coast guard on land—to grow out of the Border Patrol—Semi-military. He needs to Show what he will do—who he will pick to be in Cabinate—the gaols of the first 100 days.
“No, Trump needs 56% of the remaining delegates, while Cruz needs 81%.”
From the FR Caucus, it looks as though those numbers are no 62% and 95%. To be sure, Cruz has no hope of a first ballot nomination. I guess that’s why he’s out with his henchment, trying to diddle the delegates in places like AZ so if Trump fails to reach 1237 before the convention, he can attempt a second ballot win. Pesronally, it would be better for the Party and the country if Trump arrives with enough delegates to take it on the first ballot.
“Wait til new York and the Trump train starts rolling.”
I agree with all that you posted. Trump has to step up hie game from here on in. No more forced errors. We need him to succeed.
“I’m not being either snarky or mean just stating a fact. You can think it makes Cruz look smart or savvy but to many people it just looks crooked.”
You’re right of course, but to the Cruzers, ANY ARTIFICE, NO MATTER HOW DISHONEST is alright, because after all, Ted has been “forordained” to be the nominee by his god! He’s just a little disgraceful man who thinks he’s smarter than everyone. He’s just like Obama in that regard.

Well said.
The Louisiana delegate stealing by cruz was underhanded and shows him to be a hypocrite.
CA is winner take all. As is NJ, PA, MD, DE, IN. 405 delegates in those 6 states Trump should get.
“where he’s favored by a large margin (NY, CA, MD, PA, NJ), “
Except...he isn’t favored at all in the largest one of all, CA.
Indiana is far more conservative than Ohio, Cruz should be favored to win there.
The NYC Times pipe dream of Hillary winning by double digits against Trump are going up in smoke.
Not quite true.
There are 18 districts, each with 3 delegates and every district delegate states publicly, prior to April 26th, their position.
Most have stated that they will go with the voters of their district, some have said never Trump and some have picked a candidate.
It is up to the voters to get educated, and vote for the delegates that represent their views.
There are really 68 bound delegates but the media is hiding how the delegates will vote {at least on the first ballot}.
RCP average was Trump up by 8 points in CA last time I looked.
Cruz CAN NOT get to 1237. It’s impossible.
If it’s a contested convention, it’s Ryan or Rubio.
His opportunity to team up with Trump is quickly passing.
Cruz is destroying the Republican Party. I am good with that. If he doesn’t drop out after he gets his ass whipped in NY he is just another fake GOPe hack and will never be President now or in the future.
I think you’d better look at California again:
Trump is and has been ahead.
“RCP average” is a grouping of polls skewed by BS polls like the one that him 15 points ahead in WI two days before he lost by 13!
Nope, Cruz is the odds on favorite to win CA. Watch and see.
RCP is BS polls, especially this far out.
According to...?
The denial is strong with you.
