Ted Cruz WINS Louisiana, Donald Trump Threatens To Sue
Red State ^ | March 27, 2016 | Joe Cunningham

Posted on 03/27/2016 5:24:16 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Donald Trump barely won Louisiana’s primary. In fact, he lost the actual primary day turnout. A big win in early voting helped him keep the lead, but it was close. So close, in fact, that for all intents and purposes, it was a draw.

Enter Louisiana politics. Via my colleague streiff:

What is very clear is that if Donald Trump is not awarded the nomination on the first ballot, his bloc of delegates will melt away and his wins are not being capitalized upon because his campaign is essentially incompetent.

You see, when it came down to the actual election of the delegates, Cruz had more support in the room. This gives him an advantage over Trump, and one that plays into the narrative of the anti-Trump crowd: Trump isn’t likable enough to actually win. His campaign can’t organize well enough to actually get his delegates to the convention, and party leaders don’t like the guy enough to follow his lead.

Of course, being the loser he is, Donald Trump responds as only a loser can: he threatens to sue....

“This election cycle is showing me how completely corrupt it all is. No pretense anymore.”

Good point. They don’t really care who we vote for as long
as they get to choose who’s on the ballot. The last time
they failed was with Reagan and they are hell bent on not
letting that happen again.

The only reason I’m in this and paying attention is because
history is being made here. We’re witnessing Coup d’etat
and the next few years will determine whether I will die
a free American citizen or a subject of a socialist state.

That’s due to his military academy education... Code of ethics.

He makes Hillary look like a angel....

So if Cruz were the nominee I can put you down as a vote for Hillary? Disgusting.

Given the following, Ted should have had a lobotomy.

The time has come to draw a line in the sand. We cannot continue to allow the GOPe to shove unacceptable candidates down our throats, and continue business as usual. If letting Hillary win is the only way to regain our voice, so be it. In any case, in one sense, the country will be less damaged by Hillary than by Cruz. Hillary is unquestionably natural born. And that is something when we the people regain control over at least one political party can ensure that never again will an Obama be elected to the presidency. Never again will there be a lingering questions as to whether the commander of our military really is an American citizen or not; does he/she legitimately constitutionally hold the office. Let the virtual blood bath of the GOP begin, let us tear it down if they allow this unprincipled ambitious Canadian with dubious citizenship take the nomination by cheating and fraud. Let us have a party so broken, so powerless, so defeated, that we can rebuild it into the proud party that it once was, which was founded to fight the twin barbarities of their time which were slavery and polygamy. We have barbarities just as great to fight now, let us get ourselves first a political party so that we can start and someday finish that fight!

If Cruz was a real conservative, he would never utter these words on recorded video's.

Pushing Path to Legal Status for ALL Illegals

Cheap Foreign Workers on H1-B visa

Pushing TPP

Pushing import of Syrian Refugees

Video's do not lie. Believe Your Lyin Eyes!

Not only is it dishonest and cheating, it an act of treason. Cruz is overturning the results of an election, preventing a potential govt from being formed which the people have chosen. Vote fraud is a treasonous act. Of course, since Cruz’ citizenship is in question, if he is not a citizen of this country but of communist Cuba, it is not treason, it an act of sabotage.

“In any case, in one sense,the country will be less damaged by Hillary than by Cruz .”

Hillary with a 5/4 liberal supreme court. Yea right.

I see you really haven’t thought that through all the way yet
otherwise you wouldn’t have said it.

” let us get ourselves first a political party so that we can start and someday finish that fight!”

Why not do it right now. Whats the problem with that.

I’ll tell you this, anyone who says
“the country will be less damaged by Hillary than by Cruz”
does not know what they are talking about or is just
another liberal which is just a name for a person who
doesn’t know what they are talking about. And you don’t.

[Basically 2D is a Cruz shill who claims Trump is his #2 guy yet posts garbage trashing Trump all day.]

Actually, 2nd Division Vet posts a variety of articles for public discourse, not just politics.

Nothing has changed much...1983 NYT…

“His alternating skills of charming some individuals and riding roughshod over others has earned Donald Trump a reputation in some quarters as someone not to be trusted. He reneged, for example, on a promise to donate to a museum the Art Deco bas- reliefs on the facade of Bonwit Teller’s - bulldozed to make way for Trump Tower. It was a sin deemed unforgivable by landmark preservationists. But the only negative comments about Donald Trump these days are given off the record.”

http://www.nytimes.com/1983/08/07/business/the-empire-and-ego-of-donald-trump.html?pagewanted=all

why? might have something to do with intimidating lawyers whose boss loves and enjoys lawsuits. The same person who wants to loosen those lawsuit rules.

That’s nothing compared to the pain of seeing Cruz exposed as a lying, philandering phony.

“Pushing Path to Legal Status for ALL Illegals”

He says right there (2:13) that the law would “remove the
pathway to citizenship”. That’s not amnesty. What I saw was
Cruz pushing an amendment that ultimately caused it to fail.

“Sen. Cruz Amendment to Immigration Legislation to Increase H-1B Visas”

Ok. He wants to up the aunty on skilled workers. I can see
why there would be a little angst about it but on the other
hand if we are going to have immigrants why not the best and brightest? I’ll trump that with Trumps rubbing elbows
with Hillary.

Pushing TPP

Hu. From the article you linked to:

“Correct,” Cruz continued. “That is one specific trade deal that is currently being negotiated. It is separate from TPA. Congress has not voted on TPP, and there’s a great deal of concern about TPP. Now, I have not voted on TPP, and I haven’t decided if I will support it or not, because the negotiation isn’t complete, and I’m going to wait and review and see what the agreement is first before assessing if it would be beneficial or harmful.”

Pushing import of Syrian Refugees

Two little 5 second sound bites possibly taken out of
context. Means nothing. He did make it clear about making
sure the refugees weren’t terrorists. Very weak for the
broad point your trying to make.

I don’t like how you assumed I wouldn’t look into this and
I don’t like how I wasted my time looking at and reading
your pathetic attempt to prove your point.

Next time you might try talking about things you really know about and not waste peoples time with your BS.
