Language, how does it work?
You’re right....wrong I am.
Oh so we are still waiting for the double post ?
I know that MCDaniel is in Cruz corner and Cruz was one of the only Senators other than Lee who supported him in his challenge after the runoff. My problem with Cruz is that he was neutral in all the primary contests because of the deal he cut with MConnelll. Same deal Rand Paul made.
Cruz did not see at the time how McConnell outsmarted him, Ryan convinced Cruz to cowrite the article in the WSJ supporting TPA undermining conservatives, and the MCConnell lied to him about the Iranian deal.
why don’t we see any Trump supporters contradicting the argument in this article with facts about the procedures that are followed in various states to select delegates?
All I see is rehashed claims that Cruz’s team of campaign workers isn’t playing fair by knowing the rules and playing the game by using them.
This isn’t to say Trump can’t win—but it is becoming very clear that his expertise in building real estate doesn’t translate into building a political team that knows what it is doing.
I don’t get it. The establishment hates Cruz too.
You are not running for President as a Republican are you?
I think the wool has been pulled over our eyes. And I also feel that between the two front runners, they went to bed with the candidate that would get in bed with them and they felt would be more malleable to keeping the status quo.
They can’t control Trump.

Eleanor Darragh, mother of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97%
, was born in Delaware on Nov. 23, 1934, establishing her citizenship by birth–and, according to U.S. law, that of her son, even though he was
“Ted Cruz wins citizenship battle, eligible to be president – Penn. Supreme Court”
Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) can breathe a sigh a relief, knowing that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has struck down a lawsuit over his eligibility to be president. However, the case may be appealed in the US Supreme Court.
In a unanimous decision, the State Supreme Court upheld a decision by a lower court that ruled Cruz could legally run for president of the United States. As a result, his name will remain on the ballot during the state’s primary on April 26.
A Pittsburgh resident named Carmon Elliott previously filed a lawsuit in Pennsylvania seeking to remove Cruz’s name from the ballot, claiming that the senator did not qualify to run because he was born in Canada. Because of the location of his birth, Elliott argued.

Cruz’s Canadian citizenship was governed by the 1947 Citizenship Act.
Here is the Act
http://historyofrights.ca/wp-content/uploads/statutes/CN_Citizenship.pdf
Section 10 governs naturalization. Under that section Cruz’s parents would have been required to reside in Canada for four years before they could apply for Canadian citizenship.
Section 10 of the 1947 Citizenship Act of Canada:
(b) Have been lawfully admitted to Canada for permanent residence therein;
(c) he has resided continuously in Canada for a period of one year immediately preceding the date of the application and, in addition, except where the applicant has served outside of Canada in the armed forces of Canada during time of war or where the applicant is the wife of and resides in Canada to a Canadian citizen, has also resided in Canada for a further period of not less than four years during the previous six years immediately preceding the date of application.
Cruz would be a natural born Canadian citizen under Part 1 Section 5 (a) of the Act:
5. A person, born after the commencement of this Act, is a natural-born Canadian citizen: -
(a) if he is born in Canada or on a Canadian ship:
There is nothing in the Act about first having to give up any other citizenship.
There is a section of the Act that discusses a child with dual citizenship being allowed to renounce their Canadian citizenship if they so choose.
Part III
Section 17. (1) Where a natural-born Canadian citizen, at his birth or during his minority, or any Canadian citizen on marriage, became or becomes under the law of any other country a national or citizen of that country, if, after attaining the full age of twenty-one years, or after the marriage, he makes, while not under disability, and still a national or citizen, a declaration renouncing his Canadian citizenship, he shall thereupon cease to be a Canadian citizen.
If Canada did not recognize dual citizenship there would be no reason for them to have Section 17.
Cruz was a natural-born Canadian citizen who “at his birth” “became” “under the law” of the United States, a “citizen of” the United States.
...”successful in business”....
Well not really in the respect of “how” he’s become wealthy. The IRS audits him every year because of his corrupt tactics they are all too familiar with.....same with banks who deal very hesitantly with him.
Trumps answer when his real estate business ventures failed was to change direction and simply sell the use of his brand name on buildings others actually own, not him...... Also gaining partners, (he often screwed), to invest with him because he couldn’t do it himself....He also swung into TV with his shows and working the entertainment circuit ....and while doing so sell clothing, wine etc....but always with the help of investors.
Not to mention he’s a master at money funneling to his own projects.....open a fund raiser etc. which will always go directly to rump, use it also to funnel until the complaints come that the money isn’t going where it’s suppose to then he coughs it up.
That is not true. They had Robert KKK Byrd and he was afforded all the benefits and honor of being a demonrat.
Thank you. Perhaps my first reasoned response to one of my pro-Cruz posts.
I do see where you are coming from and that you support Trump. And although I don’t agree with all your arguments you supported him well in your post.
As to your critique of Cruz it would take a bit of doing to give you a point by point response. In general, however, most fall into the TPP/TPA category: Cruz says something positive about it, but in the end decides to vote no. All the focus is on the talk. But the vote is what counted.
The New York Values is an example. Bad strategy probably but the Trump response is fake. They know what he meant and probably agree with him.
Or the wifey working for Goldman Sachs. Totally blown out of proportion.
And Cruz ‘stealing’ delegates from the unprepared and poorly organized Trump campaign. That’s just nonsense.
I could go on. So could you. I hope some other Trump supporters will follow your lead. We need a little more civility around here.
So again, your post was greatly appreciated.
And no, you never said you would walk if Trump loses the nomination. Many have. Not you. Sorry about that.
Cruz = Goldman Sachs.. sorry to burst your bubble ...
No, Trump is and he is a Registered Republican. Lord help us if he are responsible for our adult children and their positions on politics.
I would rather live in a state where I do not have to swear allegiance to a party but can vote for the most important position as I choose in a Republican or Democratic Party primary. Most of the South were Democrats locally and Republicans for national elections, most would vote in the state Democrat primaries. Now I stay independent because I hate the establishment of the GOP and I will not vote Democrat.
“and Cruz is not carrying popular vote.”
Were you also bummed out when algore lost the Presidency despite winning the popular vote?
Not in PA.
Cruz gets a block of 59 to 60 million voters with without Trump.
You have no idea how unpopular Cruz is in the old industrial states of PA, NJ, NY, OH and MI. To all the potential cross over votes that trump brings in he offers ...nothing. He is seen, righty or wrongly as a globalist. He is seen as not caring one bit for the middle or working class. He suggested moving the retirement age to 70. In the manual trades only 10 to 15 percent of guys can make it to that age. So they will have to take early retirement and less money. There is much more I could write, if you would care to read it, but the main point is Cruz has less appeal to the folks who are not already in the republican party. All the folks Trump brought in (~6 million) go away an some of trumps votes too.
Do not make the mistake of projecting your fond views of Cruz on the northeast, at least in the area I am in.
Trump and Cruz together have a possibility of getting 66 to 67 million.
Trump alone is also a no-go, the Cruz folks are very motivated and I see him losing 1.8 to 2.5 million votes if Cruz is not on the ticket.
HAHAHAHAHA! You are so funny. You know that this is not comparable. Cruz is not carrying the popular republican vote. He only wins when it is backdoor party elites voting to maintain the status quo.
Expand this to the national level. Cruz is not pulling in republican vote in people dense states that have the most electoral votes.
Trump’s campaign did not see voters had to Register in October of last year. His own children missed the deadline to switch from Democrat to Republican.
Trump did an unforced error when he sent a Delegate list to Washington DC instead of Washington State. His supporters had no list when the Counties were doing their votes.
“The Gang that couldn’t shoot straight”!
Sounds like a plan.
