Katrina Pierson: Cruz, Kasich "Running Against Republican Primary Voters"
RCP ^ | 4/25/2016 | Ian Schwartz

Posted on 04/25/2016 5:34:08 PM PDT by usafa92

MSNBC ANCHOR: As we said earlier, this is clearly the word of the day, collusion. We're hearing a lot about that. I want to look at these polls coming out of Indiana. Your candidate is in the lead by a few points, in three of the latest polls. Are you concerned at all about the departure of John Kasich in Indiana and how that could affect your candidate's chances for delegates in Indiana?

KATRINA PIERSON, TRUMP CAMPAIGN: I'm not concerned at all. One thing we've heard for this entire campaign cycle. We started with 16 candidates, as they dropped out we were told support would fall away from Donald Trump and that simply has not been the case and I think that will be consistent. Not all Kasich supporters are Ted Cruz supporters and we will see that play out in Indiana as well.

This is an interesting situation that has come up, the collusion, the secret agreement these two campaigns have made really goes to show how desperate that they are. You have two establishment candidates now trying to stop a candidate from winning the nomination. In one case, Donald Trump is beating Ted Cruz by 2.5 million votes and John Kasich by 5.5 million votes. I think it's safe to say at this point, these two campaigns are no longer running against Donald Trump, they're running against the Republican party primary voters. And that's pretty sad.

Trump and the crew are so far ahead of Kasich and Cruz it's not funny. This is a brilliant turn of play. The word of today was collusion. Never a nice word, connotes illegal or unethical activity. Now Katrina says that both Cruz and Kasich are running against Republican primary voters.

The great unanswered question of this campaign will be whether Cruz was GOPe all along, or if he was so blinded by ambition and naievete that he somehow got trapped into being the ultimate insider candidate. Either way he's a detestable person and his political career is over. Flame out in 3+ years. Has any comservative gone from hero to zero faster? (Besides Rubio).

That’s been my thoughts on this since Chicago. It’s not Trump they are willing to do anything to stop. It’s me!

If they don’t make a real soap opera out of this I will wonder what people have against TV shows that can run for 25 years using the same characters.

<< The great unanswered question of this campaign will be whether Cruz was GOPe all along, or if he was so blinded by ambition and naievete that he somehow got trapped into being the ultimate insider candidate. >>

I would go with the naivete angle, but for his “untraceable religious history”, his easy fit with the Bush immigration leniency, and Heidi’s dispatch to the CFR for working up the North American Community paper, while employed by GS and his TPA, HB-1 visa stuff, and his invader legalization.

He advanced the globalist agenda where he could, and still remain able to do convincing pony tricks for his conservative flock of geese.

The geese got his words. The globalists got his senate action.

After tomorrow night Ksick and Cruz both need to be forced out. If anybody else besides Trump was leading these two fools would already have been forced out by the party.

Cruz was led into temptation and gave in to it.

Remember when failing KMart joined failing Sears. Both are withering away. Failure + failure does not equal success. Ever.

“Cruz, Kasich “Running Against Republican Primary Voters.”
____________________

I concluded that even before Pierson said this. This Cruz/Kasich pact is about taking out the primary voters. Cruz/Kasich have gone mad.

Cruz and Kasich are now cooperating with The Cheap Labor Express against the citizens quest to stop the illegal alien inundation and restore the rule of law.

The purpose of the modern GOP is to block the citizens from stopping the people pipeline.

If Ted and company STEAL IT, the convention center should be razed to the ground.

<<< they’re running against the Republican party primary voters >>>

She’s speaking to the LIV’s. GOP/DEM primaries are a combination of citizen votes and grass roots party delegates. Mr. Trump only has half of the process under control. He needs to up his delegate game.

Never Hillary!
