You are working with Japanese to get a miniscule amount of our goods into Japan, which they do grudgingly and only to the extent absolutely necessary, and everyone you deal with and everyone you know is afraid of Trump, because their sweetheart deals with the USA will be threatened if he is President. They have unbelievable barriers to US manufacturers bringing goods into Japan, and Trump is saying that Japan can't send Toyotas to the US if they have this de facto ban on US goods. A Japanese patriot would not want Trump. A US patriot would.
” I got no notice (though I had registered with the locals and given contact info well in advance).”
You didn’t know there was a election this year?
— General election news gave March 1 as the date for the WY caucus, and yes I *did* know there was an election this year - (spare me your insults, though I know how easy it is to snipe at someone on the internet. I am a real person, and could be somebody’s mother.)
” Though I was traveling in Feb, I expected to be back in time.”
So you were out of town? Who’s fault is that?
—— Again ,the calendar listed the WY caucus as March 1. Again, some of my R friends got no notice of it - and it wasn’t in the papers, local news - either.
——In contrast, my 98 year old relative in a nursing home got a notice from the Dems to participate. We could learn something from the Dems.
“Looked where to caucus in area online. I felt very much shut out like the fix was in—for Cruz. Another WY Republican friend had the same experience.”
You couldn’t your caucus site, or you couldn’t find it online?
-— The official website I found online listed no site to caucus for my area.
“The rules are in place and the ground troops know the rules”
Who put the rules in place? Did the Colorado voters?
If it wasn’t Cruz, someone else would be their elite baby.
The Republicans in Colorado. It's their primary. Most of those who drafted and passed the rules were Republicans when Donald Trump was a pro-choice, pro universal health care, pro-partial birth abortion democrat who was donating to Pelosi, Clinton, Schumer and Reid.
Each state Republican party drafts their own rules. If you wanted to be a part of that process, then you should have worked in the party and gotten yourself on the rules committee for your state.
Trump has no ground game. He is running a top-down campaign and Cruz is running a grass roots campaign. That is the way it is.
When Trump wins when he plays by the rules (like is winner take all primaries that disenfranchise most of the voters) he is happy. When he loses, he whines about how unfair the rules are.
Where did you get your diploma? On the back of a box of Post Toasties? Are you always so stupid or is today a special occasion? Sheesh. Clueless.
Good comeback. How many American jobs did you cost us today?
Its a Freak Show. By and large I would asses 80 or 90% of those arena crowds will not go on to do anything of substance that is needed by Trump, outside of showing up to a rally, such core work as nitty gritty or party work, caucusing, phone canvassing, GOTV. Ted, on the other hand, has got this wired with boots on the ground for the last half of a year, for crying out loud! And they cry “stolen!” (sic)<<<<
Which of course is why Trump has millions of actual votes by actual people more than cruz could even dream of.
Which is why lyin’ ted feels a need to lie, and to sneak in through the back doors.
The proof is in the puddin’!
I really don’t care what cruz supporters have to say for him. I have sat and listened to him myself, and have heard his lies personally. I trust my own ears and instincts much more than some stranger’s prideful opinion.
If there were actual good things to be said about him, that would be a very different story, but there isn’t. All I see is pride and lack of good character judgement tied up with a ‘’well the other guy made a mistake so that justifies cruz lies’..the same kind of bs we all used to try and pull on our parents when we were kids wanting to have our own way with something. Same damn thing.
I didn’t buy into it when my own kids tried to pull the manipulation game on me either. “But MOM! EVERYBODY else is doing it!!! Learn to stand on your own two feet and quit being a follower. Make your own decisions. Take responsibility for the results of your choices.
Liars might make good lawyers, but they do NOT make for good leaders..actual leaders. They know how to cheat, how to make a thing look technically ok, but that’s not a leader.
I’m sorry you don’t seem to know the actual difference.
