can’t imagine why anyone would be insulted about using a Nazi anti-Jewish riot as a way to insult a Jewish guy would be troubling?

Well there were plenty of Jewish Nazi collaborators. Like Abraham Gancwajch, Moshe Merin, George Soros and maybe even Hitler himself.

Okay, Barky, what has Ted Cruz done since dropping out of the race that constitutes “duplicity and two faced behavior?” Not falling behind whatever the Trump position of the day might be? What part of the party platform does Trump intend to change? Maybe there is a solid reason that a conservative (I thought that’s what we all were here) would want to preserve any influence possible on the party platform. For example, he might, want to do his best to keep the GOP on the record as being against abortion on demand.

And furthermore, go to hell. How do you presume to know I’m a “butt hurt CruzBot.” I don’t want “mild and cookies” or anything else from you or anyone else. You are the one’s who have made the choice in this election between an unprincipled mountebank and a corrupt socialist. I doubt the best interest of the nation will be served by either.

Levin is a stupid, beyond delusional, nasty little man, and so too are those who write, post, and believe this drivel!

Trump doesn't "need" Cruz now and never did. Cruz is visionless, a lousy debater, an old fashioned pol using very old dirty tricks and lies that sunk him and destroyed him and his political future, for good and all. The very few remaining rabid, drooling sycophants, of his, are still blind and deaf to reality. Perhaps one day, they may come out of this state, but I doubt it. Pity that......LOL

He’s ONLY “for the Constitution” when it favors him or he can misuse it to “cloud the mental state of his cult member”; otherwise he uses it as toilet paper.

Oh no he doesn't.

And even in Texas, Cruz's "star" has lost its shine long ago.

Oh yeah, you're a butt-hurt CruzBot, your impotent rage in continuing to promote your Cuban-Canadian fraud more than demonstrates that. And it doesn't surprise me one iota that you would be incapable of seeing Saint Teddy's duplicity and two faced behavior, deluded cultists like you are never able to see the cracks in the clay feet of the false idol they have embraced.

I predict you'll be riding the lightning before too long.

“Impotent rage.” Hmm
Actually, at this point I would classify my state of mind as “morbid curiosity.” I actually don’t know where the country will end up after this debacle of an election, but I am certain it will at a point further removed from its constitutional founding.
I’ve never “ridden the lightning” either. I have no idea what that rant means.

Okay, Barky, what has Ted Cruz done since dropping out of the race that constitutes “duplicity and two faced behavior?”

How about dupliciously not supporting the nominee as he signed an agreement to do and continuing to undermine Trump's candidacy.

Ted Cruz just crushed Donald Trump in Washington State election of GOP delegates

Cruz supporters outnumbered Donald Trump supporters at the state GOP convention in Pasco, and they were better organized, pushing through the Cruz slate of delegates over occasional protests from Trump backers, who noted repeatedly that Cruz is no longer in the race.
Cruz's campaign is over, but his delegates fight on (Better call Saul)

Cruz’s team didn't abandon the race for the White House entirely. It still filed a slate of potential presidential delegates for California’s June 7 primary, and continues to monitor delegate selection in states that already voted in the GOP nominating process.
Ted Cruz Says Fight Not Over with GOP Convention Nearing (Wants to CANCEL Open Primaries )

... Cruz and his allies in the Republican Party are EYEING TO CONTINUE THEIR FIGHT TO RUN THE PARTY. Despite his failure to win over Trump, ... he is still hoping that when he attends the National Convention,... he will be able to bring about key changes in how the party governs itself and picks its presidential nominee. Aside from changes in rules, the party will also be working out its "official policy platform" as well as "determine how much power the RNC has to make new rules of its own."

>>The key discussion points, which will also be the likely flash points during the convention, will include CLOSED PRIMARIES. THIS MEANS DOING AWAY WITH OPEN PRIMARIES AND THE "CONSCIENCE CLAUSE," which will RELEASE CONSERVATIVE DELEGATES FROM SUPPORTING THE PRESUMPTIVE DELEGATE, should that delegate represent views that contradict theirs or the party.

As B_G_S noted, "There would be no reason to hold a primary election if the delegates were not bound to the voters decision and the election results.

He never stops. TED & CURLY (RNC Rules from ND) must be conspiring in this insanity together.

Ted will never be elected by a popular vote. So he seeks RULES CHANGES so that his chosen delegates will select him."

Zot you, I-ambush. It's fitting that your FReeper handle tells us that YOU-ARE BUSH!

That statement gives you away that you are not a FReeper, but a militant troll. I say again ZOT you troll!

So, I joined this forum over 15 years ago, waiting for my chance to criticize Trump the Wise? Your reaction reminds me of the pod people when confronted by one of the unassimilated. Sorry to interrupt. Please continue to discuss among yourselves.
