On the heels of a Marquette University poll showing Sen. Ted Cruz taking a 10-point lead in Wisconsin, Donald Trump once again whined on Wednesday that the establishment is trying to take the nomination away from him, citing the Louisiana delegate allocation which gave Cruz more delegates even though Trump got more votes. as Exhibit A. As Breitbart News reported:
With less than a week to go until the Wisconsin primary, Trump came out swinging -- against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), against the Establishment lining up behind Cruz in order to keep Trump below 1,237 delegates so they can broker it in Cleveland, and against Cruzs supporter Governor Scott Walker.

Well then, do some reading.
Up-thread even.
He could go away Ma’am.
I believe that's called "inhalant alcohol"
What makes you think he isn’t already under their control?
He has the Bush team on his team now.
He previously voted for Corker and cloture for TPA.
Oh he knows...and he's okay with it which is the really scary thing about Cruz.
Exactly. He stayed in long enough to get a nice comfy retirement package from the establishment. Thanks for being our boy Ted!
Yeah, pretty amazing. You know, the anti-Cruz vote (using the same logic) is much worse than the anti-Trump vote.
In Virginia, 83% of the people voted against Cruz, while only 65% voted against Trump.
In Florida, 83% voted against Cruz, while only 55% voted against Trump.
In Ohio, 87% voted against Cruz, while only 65% voted against Trump.
Yep, funny things, those facts.
I understand-—we all do-—but at some point you must win something to continue that, and not just the nomination.
We can see to it that the GOPe doesn’t win ANY down-ballot seats. After 2-3 purges, you can bet they won’t have their seat at the trough.
TRUMP PING
Not only should we get rid of the seats...we need to get rid of the trough.
That one will be very tough. Reagan couldn’t even get rid of a tiny section of the trough.
Well David, you’re nothing if not consistent in perpetuating Cruz propoganda. At this point Cruz is nothing but a useful idiod by the GOPe. I doubt he’ll make it under the bus before Romney/Ryan duo is announced.
Quit playing an idiot, you know better. All the teeth gnashing is doing is wearing out your teeth. If Trump is able to take 1237 to the convention, he is it, fair and square. Cruz and Cruzbots will not stand for anything different.
As to how many voted for Trump, that has zero bearing on the convention. 2/3rds of Primary voters DID NOT vote for Trump. Its delegates, not votes.
“A bunch of people down in Texas wont be so enthusiastic for him the second time around.” You are right.... the Yeller Dog democrats. Are you voting democrat?
Your flaccid assertion is not based on fact. Cruz is immensely popular in Texas.
If Cruz is not elected POTUS, he will be Texas Senator as long as he cares to keep the job.
Cruz shouldn’t get out until there’s no mathematical chance for him to win, which should be after NY, NJ, etc. Then he’s wasting other people’s money which isn’t a conservative principle. No, it’s rather very establishment-like.
Actually it will take the majority in the Supreme Court to make such decision. Never happen.
Trump and his Trumpbots do yourselves no favor dwelling on what you wish and hope while ignoring facts and reality.
Yeah, you keep telling yourself that.
HOPE and CHANGE..... where have we heard that before?
What does that say about Ted?
good post stevem
The 2016 rules committee will meet about a month prior to the actual convention.
THAT THEN should yield some answers to the many OPINIONS going around.
