Northwest Washington state is beautiful...Mt Rainier...Puget Sound...Great salmon fishing...Great trout fishing...

The only drawback is the idiot people that live there....

“If this is what “principled conservative” means, count me out! These people are as nutty as Sanders supporters.”

You are not kidding. They sound like Glenn Beck supporters.

We’ll see how the people vote. I bet it won’t be for Cruz.

There is a lot of defeatism in Washington state politics. We’ve been beaten so many times that the “old-growth” pubbies have relegated themselves - and the rest of us - to whatever scraps the dhimmicrats toss off their plates.

They would rather take the “safe bet” even if it is a guaranteed losing proposition - rather than take a chance on winning. It’s monumentally frustrating.

We gave hundreds of dollars to Cruz very early on, but came to fervently support Trump. We had two personal invites to meet and greet Heidi in person when she was briefly in town, but we'd long before made the switch.

This sort of behavior results from the current intransigence Ted and Jeb bring by lying about endorsing the nominee. Now, one could say that Trump is not the nominee, yet, but even Pribus stated Trump is the presumed nominee. So, why won't Cruz hold to his promise, tell people to stand down, or state his endorsement will come at the Convention?

This sort of ongoing Cruz/Hillary perversion is crazy from the Cruz supporters. It's like they are examples of Japanese soldiers, stranded on an island, who didn't hear WW II was over. They had to be convinced their leader had accepted defeat. At least for the Japanese, they were humanely told, but Cruz cruelly leaves his supporters out to dry, letting them entertain Hillary as the true second-best candidate.

Cruz is perverse and a liar.

Alex Binz, a teacher from Kirkland, said he is worried enough about Trump’s “fascist” streak ...

This putz of a "teacheer" has no clue what Fascism is. Another so called teacher that is so poorly educated that he can't sign his own name.

Definite pattern: When the voters are allowed to vote, it is Trump. If not, party wonks, chosen early for the purpose of denying voters a choice, still go for Cruz. Those people are insane.


yup

Here is one of MANY examples, where Cruz and his supporters have not accepted his defeat, have not stood down, and continue to make mischief. Principled Conservative, any kind of conservative, my foot. These people are so delusion that they’d prefer Clinton as second choice to Canadian Lyn’ Ted. Incredible.


yup

The Cruz supporters said they won’t unite behind a man they view as unprincipled and dangerous.

But they already did.

And where was Senator Principled Conservative (TM) this week when the Senate GOP colluded with the kenyan to turn our suburban neighborhoods into section 8 dump holes? Ted Cruz was playing hooky from his Senate job and sitting by a pool in Mexico. How principled and conservative of him to miss this key Senate vote.

Doesn’t matter the state convention backed Cruz.

On Tuesday, GOP voters in WA state will go big for Trump.

And he will get all 44 delegates.


Those pesky people, getting in the way again.

Not true. The southern coast is strongly conservative.
Long Beach peninsula.
Much of southwest Washington also. And Puyallup and Tacoma and even Gig Harbor.
Then go north to Everett.
There are many pockets of conservativism there.

Someone please remind me of this headline next time a left-coaster chastises South Carolina FReepers for allowing Senator Graham to be elected/re-elected.

Somehow the communists will screw it up like they did to Oregon. There Cruz got 3 and Kasich got 3. Guess dropping out means nothing to communists liberals.

Like those people in Siberia who asked about the current czar when found in the 80’s living in the wilderness.
