The issue was the gop e support of Cruz not his status as front runner or not You can’t have it both ways

Sure it is, and yes you can.

When you try to help the also-ran you are fighting against the big dog. When you side with the big dog, you have given up your attempt to undermine him.

This ain't rocket surgery.

And Trump has done so much more to divide the party. It’s a Demoocrat’s dream come true.


Yep. Those Trump blacklists and Trump surrogate Never Cruz campaign were so divisive.

If the GOPe (reluctantly) now embraces Donald Trump, it will also be confirmation that they were only using Ted Cruz as a dupe to try and stop him. Now that the wheels have fully come of of their ill-advised "#NeverTrump" campaign, it's beginning to like like the GOPe will cast Ted Cruz aside even before the convention.

It sure will be great to get some new blood in leadership positions in the Republican party, starting with "You're fired" notices for both Rience Preibus (sp?) and especially that scumbag lowlife Mitt Romney.

My Mom, for instance, is as much a conventional Republican as you could imagine, and voted for local boy Rubio in the Florida primary. But she was absolutely appalled at what Mitt Romney tries to do. She compared Romney to Benedict Arnold. That shook her up some, and now she's ready to climb aboard the Trump Train.

The GOPe, Romney, and their ilk have truly sealed their fate at this point, and all that remains to be seen is if people like Ted Cruz are brought back into the fold, or if they'd rather stay hitched to the wagon that brought about their demise: the GOPe.

What's happening this year truly is Revolutionary, and the tragic thing is that there are so many conservative purists whose dogma blinds them so strongly that they're willing to put their loyalty to that ahead of America itself.

The Revolution is ON!

Vote Trump

I donated to Cruz. But I don’t like the cowtowing to social justice warriors, because if you excuse their violence based on conservative rhetoric, you have set the precedent when they attack other conservatives for slightly less strident views.

You forgot to mention one more thing: Cruz’s propensity for insulting the intelligence of voters. Most recent example is saying “Trump can’t manage a lemonade stand.”

This is truly inane, so obviously false on so many levels, including fact Trump is kicking the ass of the Cruz org in votes, delegates etc. and that Trump has a fabulously successful business career, employing tens of thousands.

I don’t see how Cruz supporters can choke stuff like this down.

I guess that means the RNC are good guys now. You know, ‘cause, when the RNC backed Cruz they were e—vil.[/sarcasm]

Boy, you Cruz fanboys are really grapsing at straws tonight.

The GOPe aren't "good guys", buy they will be moving to Trump on Trump's terms, as opposed to the way that Cruz crawled to them on their terms.

Now you just watch as the GOPe decides that Trump will be acceptable, and Cruz gets tossed aside like the dupe he has been all along...

The Revolution is ON!

Vote Trump

If true then trump is now the establishment candidate.

Donald Trump is the presumptive nominee that we need to vote for to defeat Hillary Clinton.

Congratulations to our presumptive nominee, Donald Trump!

Exactly., And just before that this “principled Conservative” went into the gutter and played the race card, the scummiest, lowdown, most classless tactic in the book.

For anyone who is intellectually honest, Cruz has demonstrated his inferior character on several occasions.


Just today we had another personal attack on Trump supporters by Cruz. I’ve never seen a campaign so viciously attack the supporters of a fellow GOPer. I expect candidates to brawl with each other but this insulting and bullying by Team Cruz is behind the pale. It’s just bizarre. The man truly does not know when to dial it back. No volume control at all.

Is Neil Bush still stealing, sorry when you own the bank, it’s not stealing - raising money for Cruz? Then yes he’s still a sell out.


It was hilarious to hear Levin rip Trump again today for hiring “establishment” Manafort when Cruz has a BUSH and ROMNEY supporting him. Apparently Bush and Romney are now anti-establishment. LOL.

This is a bad thing? I think this would be a refreshing change from the sleazy elected slime balls in DC that would sacrifice their own mothers to advance their political careers.

No, because St. Ted will soon make his own pilgrimage to Trump Tiower to kiss the ring. I predict before the convention.

BTW, you can check, but I think I said in August Trump would be the nominee.

The Republican Party, as it is, is sick from corruption. It needs someone like Trump to revive it. Otherwise it will indeed splinter off into different factions.

I've not believing it yet, but that might well happen. I do think the cooler heads (how ever many there might be) among the GOPe know that this coming Tuesday Trump will have five more NY level victories in his column and another 125+ delegates. Unfortunately for Ted, people get to vote in all five contests on Tuesday.

The Trump wins are now too frequent and too impressive for some to continue pretending it's not really happening. I'm also hoping for a massive shake up in the GOP.

“The RNC needs Trump more than Trump needs them...Look how well he has done to this point without them...”

A key statement, indeed.

The Chicago incident was the third strike. Up until then I was on the fence. After Chicago, it is Trump all the way!

night during that Chicago mess I was watching CNN (because I gave up Fox) and they had Neil Bush on first. About a half an hour later there was Cruz giving a news conference . I was undecided between Trump and Cruz until that night. That was my turning point too.


Really.....only trumpers were mad at fox. You people are such liars
