Maybe but it also exposes trump because he has a 22% delegate advantage which is not reflected in the votes.

I guess Trump can scratch Rubio from his VP list.

Have you noticed not one word was said about that until the travesty called Colorado happened??

It's a red herring.

The sorched earth policy of divide and conquer by Raphael Edward Cruz is going to lead to chaos down the road probably at the convention. There is a deep division that has formed in the conservative grassroots base and instead of healing it each day it grows worse. No doubt it drove some people away. Cruz is employing Obama tactics because he has no chance now to reach 1237. He is just destroying the party and dividing conservatives.

Well we know Trump is out of touch! That just proved it.

It is a good fit for both of them. Frankly Rubic did the one thing you cannot do, get caught doing something opposite of what your campaign was about. As a presidential candidate he cannot overcome the shumer mistake but as a VP he would not face it. He is a young face woman like, my wife for example and his story, true or not, is compelling. Lastly, he has no job come Jan 1st.

I’m more convinced than ever that Trump planned Colorado to happen the way it’s happening.

“Lyin Cruz and his supporters are low life Thugs.”

Oh yeah! Cruz people are thugs because they work within the rules. Tell me jenny, what does that make Roger Stone,who said he was going to give the room numbers of all the delegates to Trump people?

If Trump can’t work through a nomination process, where the rules have been out there in the open for years, how can he go up against the Russians and Chinese?

Colorado GOP Lied About #NeverTrump Tweet – The Account Was Not Hacked, It Was Posted by Trump-Hating Insider

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/04/colorado-gop-lied-nevertrump-tweet-account-not-hacked-posted-trump-hating-insider/

The Republican party said this tweet saying the account was hacked.

But that is a lie.

The party deleted the tweet only three minutes after it was posted – meaning they still had control of the account. It was not hacked – it was a Republican party insider.

Seems to be a great fit with Ted "A Time For Lies" Cruz

Well, lets suppose your right about Colorado, but how do explain his losing delegates in North Dakota? Louisiana? Georgia? Arizona? Arkansas? and many others. Just because he would happen to be right on one thing doesn’t exclude all the other instances where he is out of his depth. I would much more accurately posit that Trump thought that because Romney and McCain won the popular vote, enough to win the majority of delegates needed to secure the nomination on the first ballot, that it would be easy. He has since found that conservatives rallying behind a single candidate and making this thing draw out longer than those others. Both of those earlier nominations were wrapping up right now, and this race is shaping up to either be finished on June 7th, or at the convention. This adds a second dimension to the race that he wasn’t preparing for, and one that he is slowly coming around to try and run. That being the race for delegates. Cruz, was looking at trying to beat Jeb, him being the establishment choice, which would have been a juggernought political machinery speaking, meaning that either Cruz would consolidate the field early and win out right against Jeb, or slog it out to the end where he was planning to fight for delegates. Either way, whether it was Trump, or Jeb the plan for victory was the same and he has been working for that goal since march last year, if not before.

The GOP and GOPe have now circled the wagons, freezing out The Donald. Unless some miracle happens and in the face of tremendous media pressure actually wins outright, he is not going to get this nomination.

Since I have been pushing for a return to 1861 for awhile, I guess the GOP will lose big in the coming national elections because Trump will either go third party or be on the outside of the GOP tent pissing in. After a Dem sweep, the country goes over the edge as the producers finally toss in the towel supporting the leaches and the break up begins in earnest. Jefferson said a little revolution every once in a while is a good thing.

What's astonishing is that the Republicans had the election in the bag two months ago.

All the GOPe had to do was hold its nose and support Trump, like they tell us peasants to do every four years when they stick in their latest Rino loser.

They were worried that Trump MIGHT dry up the river of stolen taxpayer money, and ruin the non-stop Washington DC orgy.

The final mask has been ripped off, and we can thank Donald Trump for that.

Trump's organization is as sloppy in Arkansas as elsewhere, just as Cruz's is an efficient machine in state after state.

LOL! It isn't the "Cruz Machine" -- it is the GOPe Machine working to grab delegates for Cruz, using bribes, threats and anything else that works. Hilarious how the enemedia keep spinning the "superior ground game" canard.
