TRUMP PING
What Cruz doesn’t know is that if he is successful in blocking Trump, these so-called new backers are going to throw him under the bus for someone they can control.
Very good well written article, thanks for posting.
Wasn’t it Walker who said that the nominee might be someone who isn’t currently running? Cruz is the willing tool of the establishment. He’s not going to get the nomination, and he knows that. Once he’s fulfilled his assigned function of blocking Trump, he’ll get a pat on the head, maybe have his campaign debts paid, or promised funding for his senate re-election campaign in 2018.
Ted Cruz, the Stealth Bush, and establishment toady.
Won’t fly. When you win the election, you should receive the delegates. Period. Anything less is stealing, and yes, Cruz and the other GOPe (of which he is now undeniably a member) are trying to steal an election from Trump.
Trump will go to the convention with more than 10 million votes. His closest rival with maybe-—MAYBE-—60% of that.
I will say again: if trump has 1237 and doesn’t get the nomination, there will be outright rebellion and the end of the GOP. If he is very close (say, 50 delegates) and doesn’t get it, ditto. I think for there not to be a mass walkout he has to be significantly short-—over 200.
After the headline this becomes just another old tired retread Wile E Coyote sour grapes piece.
Wanna buy a bridge?
Reality and all that matters.
Trump will have 1100-1300 delegates, next closest is Cruz with 700-800, GoPe is not suicidal, Trump wins on the first ballot if needed, GoPe to negotiate for VP.
Cruz is out. Guaranteed.
This race was over after Trump’s beat down of Cruz in Fl and Oh, 1,000,000(margin of Trump over Cruz) pissed off R voters in those 2 states alone, if Trump is booted. Gope wants to hold on to Senate and House seats.
They know it will only take one federal judge who agrees there is sufficient doubt about Cruz being a NBC.

According to the Marquette Poll, Cruz wins WI and 2 CD's. That's 24 Delegates. That means Trump wins 18. Cruz needs 85%, he gets 57%.— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) April 2, 2016
What I don't get is how Cruz can be called a puppet of the Establishment. Has he erred as a Senator? Of course he has.
There isn't an American politician in history who has a 100% Good Guy record by my yardstick. That's because 100% of them are and have never been smart enough to ask me how they should vote on issues.
Has Cruz supported American citizens as well as any DC denizens and better than most? It seems like he has.
When the boys in DC succeed in banishing Trump, will they really rally 'round Cruz? That would be shocking.
Of the boys in the race, I just think we need one of these two guys to get the final nod. Someone needs to wrest control of this country from obama, clinton, McConnell, Ryan and...those that have this country circling the drain. I hope in the end 1,237 delegates can be found to support one of these two guys.
From the beginning Trump would have been far better off pushing just as hard as he has against political correctness but otherwise less like a professional wrestler. If he gets to 1,237 I hope his legacy starts to mean more to him than his popularity in the next 15 minutes.
If Trump fails to win the nomination, it will because his efforts weren’t good enough to secure the 1,237 delegate votes needed.....
A contested convention because you think Trump will lose, and nominating someone else, is committing suicide to avoid being murdered.
And there’s a good chance if you hadn’t invested nearly $100M against Trump, you would have been stronger in resisting the murder.

They can’t steal what you don’t win. If he wins enough states by enough, he gets the delegates and wins the nomination. If, as it appears will happen, he doesn’t win enough delegates, by the established state rules, he has to battle for them at the convention. It’s been that way since the founding of the party. No one is changing the rules just to help Donald Trump.
Ted’s a mess!
UPSET DELEGATES ALL AROUND! Stop the steal! @scottienhughes pic.twitter.com/4xH7ZkHCHh— TNforTRUMP (@tnfortrump) April 2, 2016
Yawn. That Marquette poll had only 471 respondents with a ridiculous 5.8% margin of error, which means that Cruz's lead was not outside the MOE.
Contrast that with the Optimus poll, which had over 6000 respondents and 1 1.14% MOE, and in which Trump was leading Cruz 29%-25%, well outside the margin of error.
And yet the only poll we ever here about from Ted Cruz supporters and the Media is the garbage Marquette poll.
Just more of the deliberate, ongoing slanting of coverage in such a way as to try to de-emphasize Donald Trump's appeal.
Selective, transparent, clumsy propaganda and slanted coverage is the forté of the Trump-haters...
Trump is right and this author has his head...in the sand.
Trump is subjected to attacks 24/7/365 by the democrats, by the republicans (his supposed friends), by broadcasters, by print media, by talk radio, and by foreign governments.
To me that adds up to ‘the establishment’ really is out to get him.
