And we know why you billionaires hate Trump so much: he can’t be bought, unlike very other Democrat and Republican candidate. So we also know ya’ll don’t really care who wins just so long as it isn’t Trump. You can pretend you’re Republicans, but you’re really not: you plutocrats and oligarchs are actually Unipartyists who control BOTH parties and have simply engineered the illusion that we peasants actually have a choice. With Trump we actually DO have a choice, and that simply cannot be allowed to occur.

I can't believe that they are going to try to put someone who hasn't debated, campaigned, fundraised, or received ONE primary vote in the lead spot. In spite of having maybe ONE friend in the Senate, they will figure out a way to give the job to Cruz over Trump. Actually, it would be smarter to give it to the Postman Kasich or Little Marco as they would be more electable than Ted (with women) and have debated, etc.

If they try to put Romney up there, there will be riots in the streets. People don't want a proven loser. They can wait around until November and watch Ted lose all by himself.

The scorched earth policy of divide and conquer by Raphael Edward Cruz is going to lead to chaos down the road probably at the convention. There is a deep division that has formed in the conservative grassroots base and instead of healing it each day it grows worse. No doubt it drove some people away as the infighting grows. Cruz is employing Obama tactics because he has no chance now to reach 1237. He is just destroying the party and dividing conservatives. Which is exposing the levels of corruption that goes on.

“If he loses because of a couple delegates”

Every campaign makes mistakes or suffers setbacks. Cruz built his whole platform on winning the southern voter and it failed miserably. To his credit, he is still standing, but I think it is more anti-Trump than pro Cruz.

Trump has run the most efficient campaign in modern history. He has gained as much as possible with his strategy, and now it’s time to pivot.

In the next 3 weeks, we could see a complete blowout in the geographic triangle of New York/Massachusetts to Philly to Maryland; arguably the most heavily populated triangle in the United States. He will have increased his raw vote lead by 3-4 million.

And then it’s on to NJ/Ca

So is that the GOPe strategy?

If you can’t beat ‘em, buy ‘em.

I wonder how much a GOPe delegate vote is worth these days.

If corrupt billionaires can't buy our lowlife congressmen ( congressional elites who have written ‘the rules’ to make bribery legal) and buy other government ‘officials’ then the ‘cha-ching’ scams are finished.

The Big Money folks don't want that... They've been stealing from the American working class for years - pennies on the dollar for trade deals that hurt American but feather their nests. They're NOT going to give that up.

No matter how many billions these scammers ‘donate’ to the 'elites' they plan on making a lot more... it's an ‘investment’ in the billions they milk from government "connections".

Trump attacked Cruz as unlikable based on his fellow senators opinion. So trump’s fellow billionaires don’t like trump... He’s unlikable by his peers.

Before someone claims who cares what they think. Say that about cruz’s peers first and tell DT his attack was wrong.

That is demonstrably untrue, Lyin’ Ted.

Trump is very popular with the business class, the entrepreneur class. He is NOT popular with the crony capitalist lever-pullers though. You know, the Big Government jackasses that are TEMPORARILY backing and financing Ted Cruz.

I watched Mr. Lindsay speak on TV this morning. He has Stage 4 colon cancer and looked and sounded like an upstanding, lifelong Republican which he is. He is being slammed by the GOPe and the Media in the same fashion as “Joe The Plumber” and Sarah Palin were. I will not stand for it.

So don’t come in here posting a bunch of bulls*** propaganda in support of Lyin’ Ted and the GOPe machine. No sale.

Trump or burn the GOP down.

If he wins 1237 delegates, he wins. Then he’ll be defeated in a landslide in November.

But how many delegates will he win? That is the only thing that matters.

What is it with Trumps not knowing the rules and crying about it later? It appears to run in the family.

Yes all those very conservative people living in those states who gave all the power to democrats to run their states just because they like a challenge.

The ‘rules’ and the ‘establishment’ is an attempt to create a government within a government, and replace the man-made government with our Constitutional form of government.

If you accept what the establishment puts forward, it becomes your rule of law.

I reject it. I support Trump suing to be put on the ballots of all 50 states to run a third party. There is nothing to support the protectionist laws put in to different states to keep him out.

I reject any form of rules or laws that Trump being governed by the US.

The Trump campaign missed out on getting Washington state delegates because they sent request letters for Trump delegates to Washington DC instead of Washington state.
