Or the babies to be slaughtered because of the “health”, mental health that is of ragingly angry mommy who threatens suicide unless she can have her unborn baby suctioned out or sliced and diced or otherwise dismembered. The old “mental health” dodge, used in Connecticut and many other states before Roe vs. Wade.

“doesn’t change the fact they lost and Trump won.”

That is not true.

Trump is ahead.
Trump might win the nomination on the first ballot.
Trump might win the nomination on a subsequent ballot.
But Trump has not won the nomination and is not yet the presumptive nominee.

Back in the day, by mid-April, most losing candidates would have dropped out and the party would have already rallied around a presumptive nominee. But, now, since it’s Donald Trump, their irrational hatred of the man overcomes any common sense.


It’s not hatred. It’s self interest. Loser Ted Cruzer knows he can’t win but wants to “Goldwater” Trump so he can run in 2020. How principled and conservative of him.

Ain’t gonna happen, Oompa Loompa

That's right. Trump is an Oompa Loompa. A wise hardworking people with a store of folk wisdom they expressed in song and dance. Tirelessly slaving away in Mr Wonka's factory to bring confections and chocolates to children everywhere.

Trump being the tallest of them all, but just as hard working, and perhaps not quite as humble, left the factory to make a name for himself in real estate. And I think he has done a fine job.

Not touching alchohol he never the less has induldged in a few worldly vices since leaving the factory. Late at night he secretly feasts on candies sent from his brethren back home late at night causing him to go on sugar high twitterfests,

But overall I think we are on the verge of an historic election, a chance to vote for the first orange president of the united states of america, and that has got to be something to be proud of.

I am only hoping the other oompa loompas will be inspired to come out of the shadows and be proud members of society.

...ok I am not making fun of any real political point here. Am a Trump supporter just trying to lighten the mood.

Cruz is mathematically eliminated and as a responsible conservative should concede and not hang around to screw the country like the idiot libtard Kasich is trying to do.

***** BUMP *****

When Kasich was mathematically eliminated, Cruz was calling on HIM to drop out, now that Cruz is eliminated, he can either drop out and work to elect Trump and defeat Hillary, or he can stay in and show just what a selfish damn hypocrite he is, and possibly hand the White House to the 'RATS in November.

Trump is the presumptive nominee and Cruz is an asterisk, like Kasich. They are mathematically eliminated.


Cruzer dead enders don’t want to unify. Like Cruz Supporter Romney they prefer Hillary to Trump.

Regarding your tagline?

It’s ALREADY ‘too late’.

I already regret supporting Ted Cruz. Trump can’t be any worse.

Since 1880, there have been eight contested GOP conventions and in five of those, the eventual winner did not go into the convention with a plurality of delegates.

In the 1976 Republican convention, it was the unbound delegates moving toward President Gerald Ford instead of Ronald Reagan that handed Ford the nomination that year. Ford held a slight lead going into the convention, but was shy of an outright majority.

Cruz’s campaign manager Jeff Roe said if Trump doesn’t win NY with over 50% HE should drop out.

Trump won NY with over 50% and Jeff Roe is nowhere to be found or heard from.

Cruz called on Kasich to drop out weeks ago.
But it’s no news when Trump calls on both of them to drop out?

sigh

Cruz needs to exit, so that Trump can unify the opposition to Hillary, and have free reign to attack her from her left.

Oh wait, he already is attacking from her left...

I laughed. I’ll vote for tall Oompa Loompa, if he’s the nominee. Any of the ‘Pub candidates far preferable to the ‘RAT Communist Career Criminal.

“Trump is calling for all the voters in the states that haven’t had their primary yet to be disenfranchised, because that’s the will of the people.

Cruz’s campaign did the same thing to both Trump and Kasich earlier....but you forgot to mention that.

If Trump gets anywhere close to 1237 and the GOPe hands the election to anyone else, they will have destroyed it. And destroyed the country too.

Cruz aint even close to being close. It’s a continuing landslide against him and he needs to recognize that and concede.

"Someone’s got to stay in the race to check Mr. Trump’s tendency to go left when he’s in his comfort zone."

This Trump supporter says there's some merit to that.
