Cruz’s “organization” or “ground game” in Colorado and elsewhere consists of one thing: bribery. When they say “superior ground game” they meant that after the primary Cruz hacks stayed around and bribed the delegates and their Boss Hog state party bosses. It’s no more, and no less. Try spending some time reading online before posting next time.
Great piece. Thank you!
Oh, I read it. And I learned nothing.
I assume he is being indicted by authorities in Colorado, since bribery is illegal? Do you have any news reports of that? No?
If that's all there is to it, why can't Trump compete? He's got more money than Cruz.
Kick the can... again.
That's why people are so agitated about THIS election. The time is NOW, not in 2020. That will be too late.

While DON Corleone Trump has been able to get a few more vote in the primaries so far, this is not yet over. Now as for the threats, Should I have a paper bag with money ready for you when you and the MOB come by? Is that you Uncle Joe Stalin?
Which proves your thickheadedness. More with each moronic post.
I agree with your conclusion. The GOPe cannot be fixed, any more than the Whig Party of 1854 could be fixed.
The only question is how fast, and in what form, the true opposition party will arise.
Trump has not focused on building a widespread grass-roots opposition party. Frankly, that is beyond his capacity now, running on essentially his own money.
Secondly, though, the Whigs in 1854 were easy to take out because there was one gigantic single issue they were not addressing, and the Republicans placed that issue at the top of the previous Whig platform and had a comprehensive party platform and structure. Although Trump is mostly known for his anti-illegal position, recent polls show that is not the #1 (or even #2 or #3) issue to voters-—although I think deep down most voters understand that it is affecting everything. #1 now is the economy, but Trump wins there as well. My point is that it’s not quite so easy for Trump as it was the 1855 Republicans to displace the existing party because they aren’t ignoring just ONE issue, but 10, or, better yet, all of them.
A “few more votes?” Really? Like more than two million, and moreover, excluding Cruz’s home state of TX where he underperformed, Trump has utterly destroyed Cruz in states where the people actually get to vote.
In FL, for example, Cruz did not win . . . ONE. . . SINGLE . . . COUNTY. He didn’t win a single one in Ohio . . . or Virginia. Cruz can’t even come close to competing on a national basis. His area of strength are a few Rocky Mountain states and/or caucus states.
No, Trump has kicked his ass, beating him so far already by almost 250 delegates, 2 million votes, and beating him in a majority of states-—no matter how they are decided. And Trump’s “Murderers’ Row” is about to come up (NY, NJ, PA, WV, RI, CT).
DanZ, I take back, you’re not a sCruz supporter, you’re a liberal.
I said nothing to provoke your last response.
