"Here he is Boss, deader than hell but won't let go!"
Love that line by Manafort. Cruz has already imploded but his handlers haven’t told him to quit yet.
Well Dracula does live in a coffin right?
I was just thinking the same thing about Cruz today. He’s dead, and doesn’t know it.
It’s why he won’t leave the race. He still thinks he’s got a pulse, when he’s really flatlining.
“Manafort: Last Tues was the Nail in the Coffin for Cruz; Indiana Is When He Realizes He’s Inside It”
What a line! Nice!!
"Here he is Boss, deader than hell but won't let go!"
I’m sorry, but that is so funny.
Trump is crushing it now. The rout is on...
..... Well .... Sure Hope Cruz packs it in soon so that Trump can start hitting the Democrats with some well placed 2x4 issues upside their collective political heads to get people focused on issues instead of the juvenile name calling that the nation is being smothered in right now ....
The only people looking worse than Ted Cruz right now are Rush Limbaugh and his dumb ass brother.
Manafort is the man! Go Trump!
I agree with these comments by Manafort.
I supported Cruz and felt he would be the best President.
But the facts on the ground, and the people voting are proving something different.
Trump, despite his former ways, has expressed not only strong opinions and statements that have aroused the people, he has done it in a way that shows he is willing to go up against the establishment, the MSM< the DNC, etc.
And now, on his own site he has backed up his positions with good detail, which if implemented will help turn this country around.
After the wins last Tuesday, CNN is now showing Trump with 52 total delegates likely in PA (and it is likely that that number will go higher, probably over 60 before all is said and done and once they vote at the convention):
http://edition.cnn.com/election/primaries/states/pa/Rep
Current delegate count according to them, and I have found them to be fairly accurate is:
Trump: 991
Cruz: 568
Kasich: 154
http://edition.cnn.com/election/
I expect Trump will go well over the top (probably by 60 or more delegates at this point), on June 7th.
If Cruz is interested in the GOP nominee (without any “e”) winning in November, then he needs to concede next week after Trump (in all likelihood) takes Indiana.
I pray to God that is what he will do. He has the power to:
1) Unite the party by so doing.
2) Deliver a huge blow to the GOPe by so doing.
3) Set up for a big GOP November win.
I wrote this letter to Senator Cruz after the NY Primary results.
My Open Letter to Ted Cruz
http://www.jeffhead.com/Cruz-ltr.htm
Again, I say all of this as one who has diligently supported Cruz...but recognizes the truth of the situation and the absolute need to defeat the Dems in November
Fact is...GOP disunity kept a couple f million of people home in 2012 and Romney lost as a result...and as a result of his not taking the fight to Obama. We simply CANNOT afford that to happen again.
LOL
It’s past time for Cruz to wake up and smell reality.
Ping!

Manafort and Trump use a lot of death language lately.
Where has this guy been and why haven’t I heard about him, I need to research him. Just and off the cuff observation, we haven’t had a pit-bull like this since Lee AtWater, wow...
Trump realized he needed this kind of guy just in the nick of time. Of course, that he’s long known Manafort, who among other connections has lived in Trump Tower for a decade, made him the perfect choice—not despite Manafort’s having dealt with so many unsavory characters, but precisely because of that.
I love Manafort. Completely unruffled at all times. Trump could not have picked a better guy.
