I agree with the author. Trump talks big, but underperforms in many campaign processes.

Ted does great except where the voters have a say.

If the frontrunner is underperforming, what can be called the runner up’s performance?

I disagree with the author, and these pieces cover and re-cover this subject only to give the writers a chance to use the term 'whine.' At this point, maybe they should quit whining about Trump's supposed whining.

It's weak and lame, like the morality and ethics of their candidate, and I'm voting for Donald Trump.

National CRuzReview....lol.

No thanks.

They seem to be over looking all of the YUGE projects Trump has OVER performed on, over the years.

cRuz has NEVER even covered a payroll, or signed the front of any check. He’s a career government employee flacky.

Exactly...The public doesn’t want Cruz...Even the GOPe doesn’t want Cruz...

They just want Trump less...That’s why the GOPe is on top of Cruz in the political bed...

The public wants and needs Trump...

You don’t like to be reminded about Trump’s weak points? We should only have praising articles for him?

I disagree, Trump talks big, but also wins big in the over all race as he is still hundreds of delegates ahead and set to sweep the Northeast states. Thankfully they are primaries where the people’s vote actuslly matters...plus with the new California poll showing Trump at 49% and Cruz dropping to 31%, I think Trump proves he can lose a few battles, but win the overall war.

Actually it's a sign of fiscal maturity. Instead of wasting his money there, he's spent nothing to expose once against the scam that is the Republican party and it's new girlfriend, Ted Cruz.

If it costs some of those same scammers and scammer supporters calling him a whiner, well that's like free advertising.

IMAGINE a president who spent our money so well, or, rather, didn't spend it so well.

Ted Cruz spent four years in a private law practice, but you probably wouldn’t know that since you don’t want to know any more than Trump tells you.

Yeah, Trump has trouble against the corrupt, entrenched GOPe crooks who have greased the skids for their designated insider, Jeb Bush. Since Ted Cruz is now their designated insider, he is the beneficiary of their "greased skids" scam that was specifically designed to thwart "outsider" efforts.

This delegate theft has nothing to do with Ted Cruz's ground game. Even Rush Limbaugh admitted it a few days ago. It's all about being the GOPe darling, and benefitting directly from the goodwill of the party insiders.

And to the People, it looks like what it is: crooked.

What other reason could there be for Ted Cruz tanking in the polls?

Why is "surging" Ted Cruz running a distant third place, behind even John Kasich, throughout the Northeast?

It must be because of all the "savvy" Cruz is showing!

I hope he keeps playing this petty game, because the more he does, the more he looks exactly like a part of the Establishment he was supposed to be against.

Image is everything, and Cruz's image is suffering because of these shenanigans.

Tuesday night,m and the Tuesday after that, are going to be sweet!

Ted Cruz has lost. He will have been mathematically eliminated after the next Tuesday or two. His only hope was to get the nomination at a contested GOP convention, which would irreparably splinter the party, and guarantee a GOP defeat in November.

Simply put, that's not going to happen. Not even the crooked GOPe is that stupid.

Vote Trump

Less popular. Is that the criteria for electing a President now?
