Then the faith-based community needs to get on their knees and pray that God opens their eyes to lying Ted. He is so receptive.

[P-Marlowe]

LOL!

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)

Bit off topic, but if there’s one thing we should’ve learned from Mitt’s defeat by BO in 2012, thousands of people filling a venue for a candidate doesn’t necessarily equal votes. I recall seeing pictures of Mitt’s appearances with seemingly thousands of people there to hear him.

Agreed, it all comes down to votes.

Trump screwed up Colorado big time. He had no ground game

That is just BS, I sat in on several town-halls for Trump in Colorado. There was no voting, the gopE selected cruz from DC.

These are there talking points to cover-up/justify their theft. Notice how all the media outlets, the politicos are repeating this over and over that Trump's ground game doesn't cut it.

But anyone with common sense can see the discrepancy between the votes and the delegates. They're trying to convince us that even though Cruz can't win the majority or even plurality of votes that he can still dominate all the delegate conventions. It's another setup that the GOP/media/Cruz camps are together on.

[seekthetruth]

I do not believe Cruz cheated. He just knows what to do and has a well established ground game which Trump is lacking. After all, Cruz is the ultimate insider establishment politician and Trump is the outsider who is just learning what politicians have to do to work the system successfully.

Then the faith-based community needs to get on their knees and pray that God opens their eyes to lying Ted. He is so receptive.

I always picture that when Trump is on his knees praying to God, he's kneeling in front of a full length mirror.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Would they even know who you support? I have seen incompetence on the local level of GOPs here and there which was not necessarily conspiratorial.

[JoSixChip]

Yeah, why even show up

That's is exactly the point, the outcome was already known and it did not matter what the voters wanted. Now you cruz supporters are all fine with that. I say good, now we know who and what you are.

[chit*chat]

Same problem Guiliani had, no recognition West of old Miss. And poor quality evaluation by voters on candidates, imho. Remember it took States burning from forest fires to make them mad enough to vote against Bill Clinton. Short term thinkers who base decisions on negative ads.

[NEWwoman]

You have a point. Incompetence...you nailed it. Or at least not caring.

[P-Marlowe]

You want to make your nasties against Trump I can got toe to toe on the ineligible Cruz. K?

Go for it.

[Nervous Tick]

"The positions that Trump has held over his entire career just don’t resonate with Wyoming conservative voters...”

One little fix (No charge!) gives Buchanan's statement nationwide applicability. ;-)

[drinktheobamakoolaid]

IF Trump happens to win the nomination do you think this POS cruz supporter will vote for him? The answer is yes. Now, let’s say Cruz wins, will you vote for him or do you enjoy the possibility of having Hellary as President?

[boycott]

Now READ CLOSELY, DONALD!!

—

Yeah, Donald must be an idiot. And all those that voted for him must be idiots too.

You don’t see me trashing Cruz all day. This has grown tiresome.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Non sequitor, if not argumentum ad hominem.

[caww]

Here’s a quote from a frustrated volunteer Trump leader in Indiana....

In Indiana volunteer leader complained regarding Trump....“There’s no ground game in Indiana,” .... “I’ve got state team leaders in Indiana who’ve been furious for months … they’ve had no campaign material, no ground game, no nothing and they’re going into these states 15, 20 days before the primary and it’s just too late.”

[JoSixChip]

Now, let’s say Cruz wins, will you vote for him or do you enjoy the possibility of having Hellary as President?

If cruz is the nominee, hillary has already won. I will never vote for the sleazy POS cruz. Add to that, I don't give a crap who you vote for. Just like I don't care who the queers in San Francisco vote for.

[Moorings]

Lol. You complement Cruz with an well established ground game. Then you insinuate that is because of being an insider. I don't think that the two are necessarily connected.

Cruz has studied previous presidential campaigns and what the winning strategy is.

One of Trump's selling points is that he is a successful CEO. However, based on his organizational strategy, I don't find him to be able to adapt to a political organization. This will be a huge failure vs. Hillary. He will lose to Hillary in a bad way.

I am reminded of Romney not able to have a serious ground game during the general election vs. Barry.

[boycott]

Cruz cannot win Florida, VA, OH, PA, MI, etc. I am sure Hillary appreciates your support.
