I HATE the not fair nonsense.

several 100k vets got brain damage from IEDs. Kids get cancer and spend half their short lives in and out of hospitals. Car accidents take innocent lives every day.

So this moaning about an unfair system that was known way in advance is absurd. If he’s so good at adapting, then he should have had the best ground game ever but he didn’t want to spend the money.

Now he realizes he has to. I’m voting for him but I’m not gonna lie that he needs to change some character traits and fast.

Another example of media bias. Listen to the actual interview. Manafort clearly says "after November" but CNN chose to misquote it as "in November". Anyone who only reads the summary and doesn't listen to the interview would reach your conclusion.

Presidential leadership is on display immediately following the election when the president-elect names his transition team and starts making cabinet announcements, so Manafort's actual quote is correct.

As I like to put it, he has made big arguments about how he is a winner and how he can make great deals.

So if he does not win clearly via the primaries and can not make a deal to win on subsequent ballots at the convention, he basically undermines his own arguments.

...”there is a clear delineation of responsibility. Lewandowski runs the daily campaign.

Manafort tracks delegate issues. Both are crucial enough to require their own supervisor with both reporting to the CEO.”

Well said. Absolutely true. It also makes a lot of sense.

“Trump will not be president in any known universe.

Ever.”

Oh, we have a Freeper for Hillary! Congratulations.

Trump is the only one who could beat her. No president Trump, that means no R Presidential nominee Trump, which logically means President H. Clinton.

Those media people are crafty. How you described it makes much more sense.

CNN spelled it wrong - it’s spelled ‘whining’.

Trump can’t win the general according to any polls known to man.

But keep on believing

That’s right, and some of us, namely me, actually consider a few mobster friends in foreign nations, a resume enhancer.

Hey I’m just glad it made you smile.
Of course I wasn’t actually joking about that.
I was in the Teamster’s Union about the time Jimmy Hoffa disappeared. Can’t remember much about those days except the occasional phrase: ‘yousneedsafughettaboutit..’

I forgot a lot from back then.

If he is right, Hillary will be elected. If wrong, the crybabies will stay home electing Hillary as well; since I don’t think trump has the grace to throw his support behind Cruz This country is pretty much done, imo. They should go ahead and coronate her which is what I surmised would happen the moment Trump announced.

Well, Manafort is messing up. Why Trump didn’t get a single delegate in Colorado? To avoid falling further behind on his delegate budget he needed to gain 11 delegates. I don’t see an improvement yet.

OK sCruzbot, The Umiparty/GOPe/Bush Family are PURPOSEFULLY trying to thwart Trump from winning the nomination. This has NOT happened ever.

Vote Trump!

Please name a rule that is different for Trump than it is for any other candidate.

I didn't say it was Trump.

BUT... this is a day later and I don't remember the specific incident I had in mind.

And it's late... so if I remember it, I'll ping you. Otherwise, forget I said anything.

That’s right. Nobody has ever tried to prevent a rival from winning before. This is unprecedented.

You are talking about the Republican Party going against Trump and using both Cruz and Katich to do their dirty work.
