That'd make a great TRUMP campaign theme, alright.

And speaking of Cruz, this should be his campaign song:

Dirty Deeds (Done Dirt Cheap)

Ted Cruz came to New York Wednesday talking about education, but he’s the one who got schooled.

The guy who has yet to pick up a majority of the vote in any state?

It isn’t as if Cruz is breaking into Trump Towers and absconding with delegates.

Organization is extremely important, that’s always been the obvious fact, no excuse for low-energy Trump. He only gets pumped up for big rallies, yelling “Lyin Ted” then he goes and watches himself on TV, punctuated by an occasional counter-productive tweet. Can’t build a good disciplined team. He’ll be a useless President.

I’m in Colorado, Cruz has built a very smooth efficient machine amazing to observe. The Trump campaign in Colorado, on the other hand, is completely dysfunctional. A joke. They don’t show up, at the precinct caucus they were no-shows, ….so, no delegates. Duh.

Of course it would be okay if the link contained an anti-Trump theme right? I have seen countless threads based on articles from Daily Beast, Salon, Huffington Compost which were biased against Trump and didn't really hear similar complaints.

You don't have to be left winged or right-winged to realize that Ted insulted NY and now is back with hat-in-hand asking for donations and votes. I would be quite surprised if they rolled out the red carpet for him.

I always thought Will and Cokie Roberts should have married and run off into the sunset where we would never hear from either one of them again.

...or I vote for the democrat.

That's pure emotion. Please vote your conscience. I'm strongly considering the Constitution Party.

“1237 is an arbitrary number.

It should be the one with the most votes.”
****************************************************
LOL — “Arbitrary number”? It’s called the majority. And guess what—WHOEVER gets to the majority will, by definition, have more votes than any other candidate and more votes than all other candidates combined.

See my tagline!

I will also remind you that Trump will be mathematically eliminated by the end of May.

It’s pretty sad when you have to resort to posting articles written by an admitted atheist, liberal mouthpiece for the GOPe to prop up your boy.

What does that say about you?

George Will has less than zero credibility.

Will and Don Lemon of CNN would be a far more compatible couple.

There are atheists here, too. Should they all be banned?

Priebus himself said it was arbitrary and could be changed during the convention.

It’s only a majority number if there are only 2 candidates during the entire campaign.

Sorry, you don’t understand what a majority is. Perhaps you should go back to 3rd grade?

If the goal was winning in November one certainly wouldn’t pick Trump.

Yes and here’s why and nothing else matters.

Trump annihilated Cruz in FL and OH, by 1 million voters, Cruz was done that night. Can’t win in November without those states. Only way to make Cruz the nominee is at the convention, pissing off 1,000,000 of the most motivated voters we’ve had in 35 years. They’ll understand and vote accordingly.

Trump is the only candidate we have with a chance because he’s got the biggest base of voters. Its that simple no nuance needed. GoPe knows this, their efforts now are to elect Hillary and keep their status quo. Thats all they can do.

I know, the media is making this huge deal out of a 30 pt net gain for Cruz. They talk about how Cruz trounced Trump but it was 12 points. Trump beat Cruz by 30 points in Florida.
