Cruz didn’t take up free media exposure when it could have helped him.
What kind of candidate is unavailable for such events?
That’s something only Cruz knows.
Thanks , PJ.
Yet he complains about all of the free media attention given to Donald, who was ALWAYS somewhere speaking his message. The guy started early every morning and didn’t stop until his last tweet of the night.
Did you just hear this?
Probably goes back to Iowa with the intimidating-like letter ads looking like a ‘fine’ for not voting plus the Ben Carson thing. Trump just comes across better too. Cruz should not be taking it so personally just stay on message for goodwill toward the future.
Trump is a master of using free media to his advantage.
He has spent very little on paid advertising.
Cruz has been playing by the old playbook.
I’m sure the joyful camaraderie being shared by the Trump Family thread does invoke an element on envy. I imagine who ever is expressing dismay is feeling a little lost right now. I’m sorry you have to receive their messages.
The “superior intellect” of Lyin’ Ted turned out to be a myth.
Two delegates from each state and territory form the rules Committee. AZ went overwhelmingly for Trump, but the delegates elected at the AZ State Convention were all Cruz diehards. They are obligated to vote for Trump on the first ballot, but not any subsequent ballots. Two of them will be on the rules committee. If enough Cruz bots get on the rules committee, they could propose rules favorable to Cruz, and harmful to Trump. However, the rules proposed would then be voted on by all of the delegates, and Trump having the majority should be able to stop unfavorable rules. The delegates are not bound to how they vote on the rules, as they are bound to vote for their respective State’s winner, so this is where the monkey business can harm Trump, by having poached Cruz friendly delegates vote against Trump friendly rules.
The battle will be won or lost in the rules committee, and by the votes for or against the rules, cast before the Convention, by the delegates at large.
The key here is if Trump has a majority of bound and faithful delegates on the rules committee. PERIOD!
How Are the Rules Finalized?
At the beginning of Convention, the 2016 Convention Rules Committee puts its recommended rules package before all delegates.
The Rules Report cannot pass without the approval of a majority of all delegates.
Approved rules go into effect immediately and last until the 2020 Republican National Convention.
This IS SO TRUE!!! Trump has gone on EVERY INTERVIEW OFFERED, EVEN unfriendly territory !!!! Now Cruz out there lying again the media GAVE Trump all this free tine when he WAS OFFERED the same!!!!
from your link:
“And in a pattern that I think is straight out of a psychology textbook, his response is to accuse everybody else of lying.”
I don’t suppose Cruz saw the irony of him accusing Trump of lying.
Looks like I have missed a lot today. Trying to catch up after not being on since this morning!
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS was TRUMP’S Ace in the HOLE.......
Bring it to the forefront was the TICKET to FREE MEDIA!!!
I have just the opposite issue, I have to go out for a while and will miss so much while I’m gone, I’m sure! Will desperately be trying to get home by 7:00 Eastern!
wink~wink...
Mothers know best...I registered both my adult kids when they turned 18..I was a precinct committee person...at that time...
I’m sure you have given your son a positive impression of taking voting important...you have been a good ‘impression’ maker...for sure...
Hoping Trump wins Indiana in a powerful landslide..
GOP panelists eager to scrap rule that helps Trump
