Truth,

But don't expect most Trump supporters to admit it.

From my count, 8 out of ten Trump supporters I know say they will not vote if Trump is not given the nomination. However, 4 out of 10 Cruz supporters I know say they will not vote if the nominee is not Cruz.

STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!

Forget the rules, they are sure he is getting screwed, even though he could have built a ground game.

That being said, I am obviously a ted Cruz supporter, but I will say it loud and clear;

Regardless of who is the Republican nominee, and regardless of how that person got the nomination, I will vote for the Republican Party's nominee.

I pray it is Cruz, or Trump, but if the Republican establishment screws us so bad the it ends up being someone we all hate, I will still vote for that person.

If the delegates do not reflect the voters, it’s rigged.

If the voters don’t get to vote, it’s rigged.

I have no desire to support a whiney Princess who wants to get all the goodies without doing the work....

That being said.....his campaign says they are turning things around and will be fighting for the delegates in the same manner.....and expect to have 1237 by June.

If he's able to do that.....I can overlook the whining because he's gotten his act together.

“Yet Cruz had no problem using the Fields incident to gain polictically”

And before that, the Chicago fascists.

Trump supporters say Cruz has sold out to the establishment for these reasons and because he is the most likely beneficiary of the "Never Trump" movement.

And, quite perversely, these same Trumpinators also say that Cruz [is] Losing Support of Fellow Republicans (because he STILL fights Mitch on funding Planned Parenthood) ... one more perversity that on FR these days fighting PP is twisted as somehow a bad thing!?

Trump supporters can't get their story straight. Ted Cruz cannot be both gopE and one who has lost their support?! (all the while Trump infers that he will work with and "get long" with the gopE through the art of the backroom deal cajoling with Mitch)?

If the voters don't get to vote in the general election, it would be rigged, I agree.

However if Trump had used competent people he could have found out and campaigned in Colorado, just like Cruz did. It's his fault and no one else's

Colorado was stolen from the voters by the establishment Republicans.

Cruz dined like a vulture on the delegates prepared for Jeb, without acknowledging how they were prepared.

He broke no rules and he is a vulture who proudly fed off a scam at the expense of 1,000,000 voters. There is no evidence of leadership in that, no matter how much you try to rationalize that mere cleverness is the qualification we want in the next president.

I won't say that Cruz is a bad man, though I may suspect it strongly. I will say though that he is not entirely a man. There are parts missing in him - mentally, in his character, and spiritually - no matter how much he'd like you to think that quoting verse and lofty philosophies and legalisms, preparing and practicing sharp debate and rhetorical points, is a substitute for character or ability.

Trump's faults on on the outside, clear for all to see. Cruz doesn't even know half of his, and the rest he considers assets but hides. Usually he's not even Lyin' Ted, he's Sneakin' Ted, Clever Ted.

If the voters don’t get to vote in the primaries it’s rigged.

Getting to vote in the general election between two candidates offered up by the uniparty is not a free election.

Rush is in a Catch 22, if he goes all in for Cruz he loses half of his audience.

I've now switched to Laura, who has the same time slot where I live. She invites lots of guests and callers who are Cruz/GOPe supporters onto the show and lets them have their say; but whether it's a caller or a guest, the instant they start lyin', they get stopped in their tracks and challenged. This was also what I liked about Neil Boortz.

Doesn't hold up.

Cruz wears the mask of the revolutionary, taking shots at the weakest of the old guard, selling the revolution back to the old guard in deals off camera.

Most of mankind has been doing this since the beginning of time. It's the most common thing in the world, almost to the point that you can't criticize him for it.

In that way, Cruz is just a run of the mill, common, skilled pol. Woohoo! Go Ted!

Believe me, Ted Cruz is not a change agent. He's cement, epoxy, masquerading as pure water.

No it wasn’t. But continue to tell yourself it was.

Trump has cast quite a spell on his followers. This is how you get people riled up over something they don’t understand.

My hunch is you didn’t read the article because it would deny you of your “Trump wuz robbed” meme

The things Trumpers tell themselves. Yet we are told by the Trumpers that he is our only Savior...ROFLMAO!!!!

The voters, BTW, are also noticing Trump’s behaviors. I’m talking those outside the bubble. That’s why every poll has him losing to Hillary. Every one.

You’re trying to follow Trumper “logic”

It’ll never work. These are the same people who on one hand will tell you because trump doesn’t understand the delegate process he’s being robbed and in the next sentence will tell you he’s our only hope for turning America around

Maybe not

But we’ll ignore the fact that he took on the Senate over Obamacare with the unpopular mandate that Trump said himself he liked ;)

> Ted Cruz is an outsider

Forgive me if I don’t buy this one from a member of the establishment media. They are really trying to convince us of this for some reason.

Here’s a clue: Harvard lawyers are NOT outsiders. Ever.

If you gave any money to the RNC does that mean you funded Mitch or Mitt or McShamey?

YES!

And that is why I haven't given any money to the RNC since the mid 1980s. I figured it out then; I'm sure you can figure it out now.
