Why has he had to explain or walk back (retract) no less than about 12 gaffes now in the last six months??
Apparently, being a tax and spend democrat is a good thing now, as long as it is Trump doing it.
So are you trying to insure that no Trump supporters will back Cruz in the unlikely event that the GOPe is able to steal the nom from Trump ? If so , you’re doing a great job ...keep poking that bear, genius ...
“Ya, it’s called the gopE.”
Yes. See post 3!

He’s not a professional politician.
Why did Cruz lie about not he didn’t have health insurance due to Obamacare in New Hampshire? Because it was a political stunt.
I see. Well bless your heart, then—where I come from.
Wyoming is neo-con Cheney territory ..no way they will let Trump win there ...another rig job ...are we ready for Hellary ?
You might just get your way, but rest assured a DIM , any Dim will win the election if they steal it from Trump...enjoy
Exactly. Eighty posts in and not one Trump supporter has admitted that Donnie’s bone-headed stance on Federal lands may be to blame for his poor showing in the Mountain States.
Trump acting like a Manhattan elitist and refusing to trust locals and states to do the right thing doesn’t play well in the conservative West.
Not too hard to figure out.
>Wyoming is neo-con Cheney territory ..no way they will let Trump win there ...another rig job ...are we ready for Hellary ?
Not so. Trump’s message doesn’t resonate with people in the west and they largely vote on identity which Cruz fakes in spades. It’s just not a good area for Trump’s message and tactics. I’d hope he’ll win something, but it will probably be another #NEVERTURMP screw job like Colorado.
>> The rules were in effect before the election
Not arguing that nor the ‘whining’ as you describe it.
It’s simply difficult to appreciate fellow FReepers parading misrepresentation as a viable path towards victory.
It isn’t “stealing” it if he loses under the rules in effect at the time of the election.
You don’t seem to have a lot of confidence in Trump’s ability to win this election if you keep talking about how Cruz is trying to steal it.
Actually it might be more correct to resurrect sore loserman for Trump, I doubt he would go into a business deal without knowing absolutely everything, but he didn’t apply the same standard to the delegate situation.
Are you talking about Lying Ted or Lying Don?
Like I said , are we ready for Hellary ? ...no way Cruz can win the general , nor can any other puppet they put up ...the GOPe just gave Colorado to the DIMs for the general ... the damage has been done
The problem with Trump going 3rd party now is 3rd party ballots are NOT on all states!!! Libritarian is in 48 states but I think they have the most representation in the election process!!! That party hates Trump!!! The ONLY way for us to blow this election sky high is 3rd party but I believe it is to late for that!!! Trump should have jumped along time ago!!!
Good post.

Wyoming, like Colorado, had their local caucus meetings awhile ago. It looks like they may have a similar way of electing delegates based on a raise-your-hand vote or whatever so no actual vote. And hence the delegates are “soft” delegates meaning they can change their choice later on.
But - the people of Wyoming did have the chance to elect delegates. Cruz won 9 delegates, and Trump got one delegate. I imagine that, like Colorado, most all of the delegates sent to the national convention will be Cruz supporters based on the caucus results.
Great, Cruz is big in red states with hardly any electoral college delegates and arcane opaque delegate selection processes. That really bodes well for his chances in the general election.
