Ted Cruz won the Wisconsin Republican primary tonight, making it much more difficult for Donald Trump to win the GOP nomination before the convention in July (indeed, he now needs the same percent of remaining delegates as Bernie Sanders does to win the Democrat primary). As the results were coming in, The Donald released a pitiful, nasty statement unworthy of a presidential candidate.
Look up "sore loser" in the dictionary, and you're likely to find the Trump campaign statement after Wisconsin. Yes, it is that bad. Don't believe me? Fine, here it is in all of its glory:
A Tea Party conservative might find it ironic that Trump compares Cruz (once nearly universally hated among GOP elites) to the "establishment," declaring that he had "the entire party apparatus behind him." It is true that more moderate Republicans such as Mitt Romney, Lindsey Graham, and Jeb Bush have supported Cruz, but the Texas senator is still a far cry from an "establishment puppet."
These are less the arguments of a confident challenger and more the complaints of a spoiled child. Some have characterized such comments as "extreme whining," not without merit. Trump also complained about being treated unfairly on other occasions, especially by Fox News. Here's a newsflash: Presidents do not get treated fairly. If you really want to win this thing, you need to accept that.
OVER 100,000 DEMOCRAT VOTERS SWITCH PARTIES IN PENNSYLVANIA — To Vote Trump
Here comes the hammer
Earth to Tyler O’Neil: You are just learning that Mr. T.Rump is a sore loser?
The difference? Cruz won’t cry about it.
I see what you’re saying and agree that any time a person accuses without offering evidence to support his accusation he may be lying. Additionally, for example, he may be giving another person an opportunity to come clean before publicly offering his proof, or he may be signaling for that person to contact him to discuss it before offering proof, or he could have countless other reasons for accusing publicly without evidence.
However, it can’t be said that accusing without offering proof is necessarily proof of lying.
[Now if Trump does come up with something then we each appraise it and decide if its real., and argue about it.
If not real then again he lied.
Obviously there will be disagreement on what he might offer,.]
I agree with you here, with the removal of “again”.
Can I get on this ping list? Lol. But seriously, I could use the solidarity
Right back at ya.
Trump is a wonderful candidate.
Go Trump! Don’t let Con man Cruz and the GOPe get to you.
And Trump is beholden to all the Dems who voted for him.
Also that Saudi Prince who bailed him out financially.
Let’s not just sluff this loss off...Donald Trump has been running a negative compaign with not much substance from the beginning. It doesn’t matter if he is only a ‘counter-puncher’...there is a ‘use by date’...on how effective that is...he has allowed himself to be blown off course
At some point he has to stop whining and blaming and accusing....for instance...when walker endorsed cruz in Wisconsin Trump should have said...
I greatly admire Scott Walker and the job he has done in Wisconsin...I wish he had supported me but I respect his decision....classy...presidential...instead he lashes out like...’how dare you’
he even admits he messed up by tweeting about Heidi Cruz...I was totally shocked when I saw the ad about Melania...she had not made herself part of the campaign...
But I was going no no no don’t punchback...cause I thought he was being baited to respond in a manner just like he did...instead he should have said something like what at a despicable low it was to do what the Cruz side did...That he would never have involved Cruz’s wife, who was out campaigning.
He has turned off a lot of ppl...so he needs to do soul searching...might be a good time to do some real praying and listening....if he doesn’t win the election with a real mandidate...it will it will do very little to bring a splintered nation back together and solve the country’s problems.
You mean to all the citizens who voted for him?
I thought Rubio and Kasich were Losing Losers Who Lose because they put all of their eggs in the Home State basket. And now Trump is canceling everything to concentrate on New York in TWO WEEKS!
Chicken Trump is running scared!
Chicken Boy knows that if he loses New York, it is all over. If he is abandoning the rest of the Country to maintain his New York firewall, it must be pretty bad.
Trump is not getting to 1237. He has only gotten 42% of the delegates since Rubio dropped out. He needs 58%.
Trump can’t win in a narrow field. It is all over but the whining. But the whining will be LEGENDARY!!!
you seem quite proud to be a cruzer openly backing the globalist establishment’s plan for a brokered convention - LEGENDARY!!!
:smh:
I’m confused. Are they supporting him because they’re using him to stop Trump or because he promised them some quid pro quo?
You Trumpkins need to get and keep your story straight. You sound hysterical.
Not all dems are citizens first all. So the 2 aren’t mutually exclusive.
If there even human is completely debatable.
But have your love fest with the liberals all you want
II been warped by the rain, driven by the snow
I'm drunk and dirty don't ya know, and I'm still, shillin'
Sittin' at the desk, late at night, Seen my Cruz through every little fight
Cruz, Lose with Cruz
I've lied from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapah
Lied with every kind of claim the establishment's made
Assaulted the forums and then ran away
And if you give me whores, cheese, and wine And you show me a sign
I'll be shillin', and keep lyin'.
You are saying that because Trump told you so.
If Ted had done anything illegal we would never have voted for him for the Senate here in Texas. We tend to frown on that in these here parts.
The terms of the Goldman Sachs loan was that he borrowed on his own money he and Heidi had saved. It was their one million that people are told would be good to save for retirement. He got an honest loan on what was already his money.
Just because Trump is flapping his lips doesn't mean he is on to the truth. He lies and then when you catch him in a lie he tells you are a liar.
He would make a fabulous president. /sarc
I am a Cruz supporter who supports Cruz.
I do not know the terms of Cruz’s loans and neither do you. All you know is what Lyin’ Ted said about them after he lied about cashing in the family retirement accounts to run for office which he now admits he did not do. He did not disclose the terms as required by law which is why the FEC is asking him to do so now and has been for years (see link). Cruz is known to lie so I would not take his word for this or much of anything. I do know that Cruz’s failure to disclose the terms of his 2012 Citibank and Goldman Sachs sweetheart loans is a violation of FEC rules and it is indisputable Cruz did just that. I think it is not unreasonable to assume that, given his history of doing so, Ted Bush would violate FEC rules again if it is to his advantage. Sleazy professional establishment politician lawyers play games like that and Ted Bush is a sleazy, professional establishment politician lawyer.
