Trump's Saturday delegate disaster (South Carolina and Colorado)

Behold the genius manager whose campaign is in disarray, who puts candidates on the wrong ballot, who would not play by the rules even if he knew them.

How often have we been lectured by Trump supporters telling us what a genius Donald Trump is, how we can manage as billion-dollar empire, how he has managerial experience and Ted Cruz, for example, has none. Well the freshman congressman just left Donald Trump humiliated, standing naked with his hands on his ample ass.

This genius, the man touted to be able to reform the vast bureaucracy of the federal government and especially the Veterans Administration, cannot manage even his own campaign. Donald Trump is exposing himself for the fraud he is.

So you’ve bought some of that new Winchester Bourbon?

It’s bad enough our current administration is ruling like a dictatorship, but the “opposition” party is doing the very same thing. It really is scary to see what this country is becoming.

Every day Cruz’s slimyness loses him more support. If he somehow manages to subvert the will of the voters and Steal enough Party Hack delegates for a second ballot nomination, he will be the most Hated nominee in a hundred years.

[Conservative Gato]

I don’t understand why you are so giddy that millions of voters potentially will have their votes negated & thrown to a candidate they did not vote for or support? I know you hate Trump, but doesn’t it bother you that the political system is rigged like this? Really, it goes against what this country was founded on. Whether it is your candidate or not, you should be bothered.

Good points. If the establishment had their man like in the past, Romney or McCain, this nomination would be over. Cruz needs like 88% of the remaining delegates to win this outright. After New York it will be virtually impossible to get the nomination outright. In 2012 late in the Republican race, Santorum faced needing 75% of the remaining delegates and he withdrew.

It speaks volumes that if the GOP establishment had their nominee, this would be over, now they are going to try to take it by hook or by crook because they don't.

It's amazing these Freepers don't realize they are ultimately helping the corrupt GOPe establishment or they don't care because the ends justify the means. I hope they realize, that's how commies or statists get things done.

Nothing but Rebel Yell popskull for me, my fine feathered friend.
All your taste is in your mouth.
How can you post crap like this?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Most delegates are your neighbors, not so-called party hacks. Too bad the Manhattan billionaire doesn’t know how to talk to the regular people.

[gubamyster]

You are correct, Cruzmight be more conservative than Trump, but the ends don’t justify the means. Just because they want him in there, fixing/rigging the election and disenfranchising voters does not the way to go. This is no better than a dictatorship. Instead of rolling in tanks & taking over, they are just taking over the ballot box.

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Hiding behind this “hey, them’s the rules, that’s how the system works, go cry if you don’t like it” shtick is extremely disingenuous. How many of these same people had a similarly blasé reaction when Obama sealed all of his records, or when citizens were repeatedly found to have no standing to see his birth certificate, or when Obamacare was quickly pushed through to the president’s desk when a Republican who vowed to vote against it was elected in a special election? Approximately none of them, even though all those situations were “by the rules” as well.

[Duchess47]

I don’t believe I have actively hated anyone in my live time as much as I hate Ted Cruz. He is a slimey, conniving, lying power hungry, American hating foreigner.

[inchworm]

The GOP’s rules? They are snob rules. Everything the GOP does is meant to thumb their nose to the voter. These rules are all meant to support the wants wishes and desires of the high donor class. These delegates are worse than politicians bought and paid for by lobbyists.

[tumblindice]

And as a postscript, how can you continue to support a slimy, GOP-e pwned, philandering snake like Ted?
Do you ever sleep Vet? Are you able to?

[2ndDivisionVet]

So he’s worse than Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Harry Reid in your mind?

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Because party hacks can’t also be neighbors, right? We’ve all known these types of people. In my experience they’re usually big-time small-town horse traders, loud mouths on the range committee, and a-holes.

[Mr Apple]

Once again, his sore-loser cult will say it is cheating because Trump did not understand the rules.

Some folks come across as a delusional, unwashed gospel preacher in one of those big tents at the side of a road.

[Jane Long]

If Santorum would’ve done this trick to Romney, the GOPee would’ve been apoplectic.

Their not saying hardly a word...or the few “it’s the rules” statements/talking points....tells me that the cRuz campaign and GOPee are collaborating on this.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Then you should have got in there and out-worked them. I gave thousands of hours volunteering at my county party headquarters in my twenties, so I guess I’m an a-hole?

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

"so I guess I’m an a-hole?"

You seem to support of every slimy, insideresque move Cruz makes. Don't tempt me to say anything further.

[Duchess47]

You sir, are exposing yourself for the fraud you are. How anyone the least bit interested in the Constitution or the American public can cheer this is beyond me.

Let’s just subvert the whole idea of public having any input into the selecting of our government. Let’s just allow a few elitists decide what’s best for us. Seems we started this country because we didn’t buy into that.

[Jane Long]

Combined with the tactics of....
