70-year-old confused man with yellow hair seen rambling about “Nukes for Japan” and “Punishing women”, claims to be running for president.

When Cruz is mathematically eliminated in two weeks. . . .

Cruz will not be mathematically eliminated until and unless Trump gets to 1237. There are hundreds of delegates Cruz could pick up from other non-Trump delegates and unbound delegates to get Cruz to 1237.

LOL...heard on Fox.

CNN played it, also, last night. Kind of like the false meme they sent out (Tapper and Bash) about Carson getting out of the race...just BEFORE the IA caucuses.

Again....it’s not been posted on any of Trump’s official sites.

Do you have a link to the video of Trump saying this? Please post, if you do.

Any narrative that is in direct opposition to reality will eventually die, sometimes very quickly die.

This 1237 for Cruz narrative should be dead already, it is so unrealistic, but it will be dead in just a few weeks.

Then the only narrative that makes sense will be ‘overthrow the convention’.

That’s always a possibility. If Trump can’t figure out a way to beat it, then that’s on him.

“The worse news for Trump is that he has again very seriously under-performed his poll numbers.”

Trump was polling 34.5 in Wisconsin and received 35.1 of the votes. How is that “seriously under-performing”?

Cruz had the entire GOPe apparatus in WI behind him. Trump against the world. Under the circumstances he did well.

Onward to NY and the NE, where all the GOPe in the world can’t help Ted Romney.

Just as Rush predicted...the lock step, low IQ MSM now begins the “Trump is dead” meme.

____________________________________

Actually, if you can wade through Rush’s B.S., he believes this same meme. Interesting Rush never put that much stock in any of Trump’s win, or his leading by nearly 300 delegates.

The gushing by Rush today will rival Old Faithful!

“That’s not been proven to be an official Trump campaign statement.”

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/06/us/politics/republican-primary-results.html?_r=0

“Trump’s campaign issued a statement via Hope Hicks, his communications manager, shortly before 10 p.m. Central time.”

http://patch.com/wisconsin/waukesha/wisconsin-republican-primary-donald-trump-ted-cruz-face-major-test-0

“The Manhattan billionaire did not face the television cameras after the results came in on Tuesday night, offering only a statement from his campaign spokeswoman as noteworthy for its vitriol toward Cruz and the party establishment as was his rare absence from the Election Night airwaves. It accused Cruz of illegally coordinating with a super PAC supporting him, but offered no evidence.”

++++
Are you sure? It was broadcast on Fox News. It would seem to me to be very surprising if they got it wrong.

And, as I stated, it a surprising statement to be coming from Trump.

So I take you at your word that you believe it didn’t come from Trump. But you should supply some reference to support your case.

Just like New Hampshire, Rush and Levin will completely ignore Trump’s dominance in NY, Conn, and the other states. Nope, according to these wizards of smart, the only state that matters is Wisconsin. Give me a break!

In other words to hell with the primary. Keep the candidate the people overwhelmingly have voted for under the magic number then go to the convention and have the party bosses give the nomination to who ever they want to give it to. That happens and Hillary Clinton is the next president and the GOPe, and that certainly includes Ted Bush, could care less. Their way of life is protected again with a crook like they are in the White House. The only way in the world for Washington to change from being controlled by the elite snobs is for Donald J. Trump to win. End of story.

No. Cruz -36. Trump - 6.
Trump is taking himself out. Whether you believe Trump’s ninth story about her or not one in power should not LIE AND SLANDER a reporter as he has now done Fields and Kelly and others to a lesser degree. Way too Nixonian for most Americans. He should have taken Scarborough’s advice and “read a paragraph” about foreign policy. He should have known the prolife movement NEVER wants a woman punished for abortion. And he should have never retweeted that infamous pic of their wives.
His hardcore group are with him but as polling is showing other are peeling off. As the 89-year-old vet said at a polling station yesterday “too much baggage on this women stuff” as reported switching from Trump to Cruz.

You would think that someone accustomed to running a business and “getting things done” would have a thorough understanding of the rules and the general process before beginning to try and achieve an objective.

Normally, Donnie would just grease the palms of a few politicians to get what he wants.
