No red-blooded conservative frequenter of this forum will fail to join you in calling for a more robust campaign style by our candidates. But like every other human endeavor there comes the question of degree and Donald Trump has unquestionably crossed the line from good clean aggressive campaigning to utterly repugnant personal attacks based on appearance, gender, menstrual cycles, physical violence etc.
What works for red-blooded conservative men who will support Donald Trump in the Republican primaries is unlikely to work in the general election where he is despised by 6 to 7 out of every 10 Americans.
The way to combat devious Democrats in an election season is not to descend into vulgarity and boorishness but to employ humor and satire in such a way that the guilty subject is skewered but the author himself is not despised.

Everything and all those in politics, most business’ and ‘what have you’ just follow the money and power these days— probably always the same but it is the driving force now-—perhaps we did not pay enough attention to what went on in our country but it would seem to be ‘too late’ to turn around-—with more Muslims being allowed in by our Muslim-in-chief, it bodes ill for our future-—all great nations in history self destruct in time-—

Not in actuality. The convention sets the rules for the convention. The standing rules committee proposes and adopts a set of rules (”more what you’d call ‘guidelines’ than actual rules”) for the next primary, which the convention can amend any way they see fit.

so why the hell did we vote then? If your vote truly mattered, do you think the ruling class would let you?

Maybe the rules, but Cruz has no awesome ground game. GOPe ground game! Bushes & Mitt threw support to Cruz, it became the oligarchys ground game.
Cruz is just a dick.

I agree. Time over time the GOPe proves its liberal. I’m still waiting for that Supreme Court nominee to get voted in this summer. Probably done July 3rd when nobody is paying attention.

The way to combat devious Democrats in an election season is not to descend into vulgarity and boorishness but to employ humor and satire in such a way that the guilty subject is skewered but the author himself is not despised. Which begs the question. Is Trump really that stupid? His supporters claim he is brilliant. So that would mean that he is deliberately turning off more and more voters via his boorish vulgarity, defamation and bullying. What could possibly motivate him to do that? His real agenda, perhaps?

Donald forgot to be terrific. But don't worry he will outfox those sophisticated Europeans, those inscrutable Chinese, those devious middle Easterners and those highly intelligent Japanese. He will be terrific then. This we know because he told us so
Yes, he wisely consults himself on the really important matters.
To: Lopeover
Furthermore, Cruz is totally betraying his early supporters. He promised them he would break the Washington cartel. But, it seems, he has reneged on this promise and is now a member in good standing of the Washington cartel.

Ha! The other shoe will drop. The democrats have not even begun to pick Cruz apart. If Trump is denied the nomination by the establishment, I shall enjoy watching the decent, Glen Becks breakdown, and letting Cruz supporters know that they betrayed our country.

Most Louisiana voters did not vote for Trump.
Oh ... so why did he win? You know I am trying to understand the cruz voters here - so let me get this straight - if you win but you are honest you can lose your delegates to the one who lost but is better in the game of buying delegates?
Question: why do we vote??? Just buy your delegates and be done with it. 4 hours wait to give my vote and it does not mean anything because the loser and the establishment know how to screw us and Trump has not learn to cheat yet?
Well then just stop voting and let them buy the goods and make one of their loser - or even someone who did not run - win at the convention since our votes don't mean anything anyway. Really - what's the point to fight?

Says the people screaming and lashing out at everyone for talking about Ted's problem with keeping his pants on. Not me. I say, if Ted's guilty of the accusations then the hell with him.
What do you think about that, vanderkook?

Keep that March 5th date in mind. It is going to have meaning.

To: erkelly
Yes. He should have disavowed the support of Bush, Mitt et al. They are the oligarchy.
Cruz position on many issues is closer to Trumps position than to the “Washington cabal” as he named it.
But Cruz lusts...

Nobody is robbing delegates from Trump. No one is buying delegates. Trump failed to follow the process in place to elect delegates for the national convention.
What Trump did in Louisianna is akin to filing a lawsuit and then ignoring the rules of procedure that govern (civil) lawsuits within the judical system.
Ignorant of the legal process, Trump essentially wants to skip the trial and go straight to closing arguments in front of a jury that he had no interest in picking.
