Oh give me a break. Trump did this to himself. He flipped flopped and flipped again just on the abortion issue. He has no one to blame but himself on this.
Yeah, those 18 votes to Ted would make him a real winner.
Geesh, this is pathetic.
And so will all the rest of libtard Trump drones. This was Trumps plan right from the git go.
You don’t get it. A solid win for Cruz (which was not suppose to happen just a few weeks ago) allows many more days, after the vote, of press slamming Trump for all the things he did and the consequences. It starts to snowball and then there is no stopping it. The only hope Trump will have is a New York firewall but that is many days after Wisconsin.
BEAUTIFUL!!!
I'm not picking on Kasich for isolated comments in the distant past or based on rumor/innuendo. My objection to Kasich is based on his regularly-displayed core beliefs or lack thereof.
Trump needs to win Ohio on his own merits or with another VP. Kasich is unacceptable, and I don't say that lightly about anyone. Kasich supports Amnesty, expanded Medicaid as part of Obamacare, compelling bakers/photographers/florists to participate in gay parodies of the sacrament of marriage, and as recently as last year was unacceptable on gun rights.
"if you’re a cupcake maker and somebody wants a cupcake, make them a cupcake" - Kasich's response to the religious liberty question on bakers who do not want to make custom cakes for gay "weddings". It was both dishonest, pretending it's an off the shelf item like buying a box of Cheerios, and immoral, pretending that a gay person's desire to be celebrated even by those with religious objections takes precedence over our God-given First Amendment rights.
[Note: I would bake the cupcake and charge them triple, which is what I've done with polling services for democrats, before I stopped working for them completely, but that was my choice and others are entitled both under God and under the Constitution to make their own choice.]
That was not out of context or unusual for Kasich:
- Pray for customers with whom you disagree, but sell to them. (Feb 2016) - Government employees should comply with gay marriage ruling. (Sep 2015) - I attended a gay wedding; accept the Supreme Court ruling. (Aug 2015) - I support traditional marriage, but it's time to move on. (Jun 2015)
John Kasich defends immigration stance at Ohio rally
"it is unrealistic to think that the federal government is going to boot illegal immigrants out of the country"
This also was not out of context or unusual for Kasich:
- Nuts to deport 11M people; legalize with fine & back taxes. (Feb 2016) - It's a silly argument to ship 11M illegals back to Mexico. (Nov 2015) - Focus of immigration should be to keep families together. (Sep 2015) - Latino immigrants will continue to play critical role in US. (Sep 2015)
Kasich had an F rating from the NRA until last year (voted for the Assault Weapons Ban and said August 2, 2015, that he didn't regret that vote).
WALLACE: Do you regret your vote for the assault weapons ban in '94? KASICH: No, you know, going back and regretting, it’s just -- when I look at it now, it was superfluous. We were adding a law that had no impact. And I don’t think that's ever smart to do.
His ego will not permit it. Trump does not want to be above the fray. He wants total submission. That is the problem with entrepreneur’s come politicians, they assume their success in business (through sheer will) easily translates to success in politics where you require consensus to get things moving along. Trump will lose this thing because he is a very little man in the end. I like him but I do not trust him. Too bad, he would have been formidable had he tempered his petty attacks and uncontrolled ego.
He does not care. Look at all the Trump drones here waiting in line to write his name in. They are every bit as bad as the obozo drones, maybe worse.
Well, that’s an interesting take on it.
Onward to the Convention.
Yes, she is and is also a pleasure to visit with.
I know Sessions, and I know his age. I feel better having the VP conservative even if he’s the same age. A 69 y/o is more likely than not to make it through four years in the White House in good health. With two of them, the odds would be very good that at least one would make it in good health.
And wanting Kasich as VP proves it!
The rest of Wyoming's bound delegates (14) will be chosen Thursday 14 April - Saturday 16 April 2016. Since Cruz won that state in a blowout, I have no doubt that he will pick up all of those. Colorado's 37 delegates can be bound or unbound. Cruz won 6 today, with the rest voting throughout the week to be bound to a candidate, or remain unbound. It doesn't look good for Trump.
Wisconsin remains to be seen, but it looks like a win for Cruz. Who knows how big a win it will be.
So, before New York, there will only be 715 available unbound delegates left. Trump needs 485 at this point, so you can clearly see, Wisconsin is pretty important for Trump too.
If he gets mostly shut out in Wisconsin and Colorado, we are almost certain to be headed to a contested convention.
Thanks for the heads up on Conservative Tree house. Will check them out.
“Cruz is too stupid to talk to Trump ever. He’s convinced that if he gets to a contested convention he’ll win. How damn dumb can he be?”
About as dumb as believing the nomination is going to be stolen from you and you believe threatening a lawsuit will fix it.
I meant 808 bound delegates available, not unbound.
I don’t want Kasich anymore than she does or you for that matter. And none of this would even be up for discussion if Cruz had the integrity to get out of the race because mathematically his chances are slim. Add in NONE when dealing with the establishment at a brokered convention.
That’s where you’re wrong. As we speak he is lining up delegates for the 2nd round voting.
The only bad thing if Cruz wins Wisconsin is that we have to spend two weeks listening to Cruzers on FR beat their chests post their screeds for TWO WEEKS-—before the FOLLOWING two weeks, when Trump humiliates Cruz in New York, followed by embarrassing him in several other northeastern states. Cruzers online and their teammates Reince Priebus, Neil Bush, Michelle Fields, Amanda Carpenter, Megan Kelly, Glenn Beck, globalists and free borders/free traitors, Goldman Sachs management and the Cheap Labor Express et al will need to be medicated.
