Denial is such an ugly thing. The Trump campaign didn’t even put forth an effort to secure Colorado, yet after the fact, you blame Cruz for it. Amazing.
[[It is good to care about things. But it is not good to obsess about one thing all the time.]]
Hmm,. Are you this passiionate about opposition to constant obsessive reports by sites like breitbart, gatewaypundit, hotair, druge etc who constantly run anti-cruz articles? Haven’t seen you mention them before
Some more self-pimping of blogs.
I occasionally read these threads, and I just happen to notice that you like to use the word “whine” every time you mention Trump. And I have to notice because you do it so much.
Are you just that stupid, or boring, or completely lacking in imagination, or dumb enough to think that it reflects some kind of genius IQ? Do you somehow think you are superior to Trump, or by posting that, that we all think you are superior to Trump?

Hmmm- let’s comapre- Trump can’t talk about Cruz without saying “Lyin Ted”
pot calling kettle black, and all that

I don’t believe the poster had an intention of presenting an observation of obvious fact as having some kind of ‘genius IQ’- not sure how you came to the conclusion he did?
As annoying as the Cruz crew posts on FR are, they pale in comparison to your years-long fixation with blogs and the people who write them. It’s like autism planet every time you get on a thread
I frankly don't like the flame wars and bashing from either camp. I support Trump but I don't think that Cruz supporters are bad people. I think Cruz is flawed but I don't think he is as horrible as what the left is offering.
I don't think the people getting passionate and bashing each other on FR are bad people. I think its gotten a bit nasty, and that is sad, and trying to make the point that its fine to disagree, but there is more to life.
No points for being consistent?

Gosh, I'd best work on that.
I’m not in denial.
I predict Cruz will pay a big price for participating in this rigged outcome.
How that price manifest itself, we will have to wait and see.
Rigged? How so? The Cruz campaign has worked their butts off in Colorado since December while Trump didn't appoint someone to secure delegates until three weeks AFTER the Colorado caucuses. How was it rigged?
By the way, if you tell him to take you off his pimp, er, I mean, ping list, he writes you an hysteric private message.
[[I think its gotten a bit nasty,]]
A bit nasty? Beign passionate is oen hting- but consistent peddling rumor and innuendo about cruz and callign cruz and his supporters ‘worthless pieces of @#$%@’ and some of the crap coming out of the mouths of trump supporters is more than being passionate- and it goes to character- Maybe you haven’t kept aprise of the crap beign said on FR abotu cruz supporters and Cruz and heidi etc- but I don’t htink it reflects a ‘good character’ in soem folks
Yep- soem cruz supporters aren’t innocent either, but the ratio is far less- Not trying to excuse those hwo supprot cruz and level such nasty remarks, but the ‘passion’ by many trump supporters crosses a lien of decency-
[[and trying to make the point that its fine to disagree, but there is more to life.]]
I do appreciate that- I’ve tried to do the same- but many want nothing of it- unfortunately, and FR is beginning to sound a lot like Democratic underground and huffington post lately- unfortunately
I guess that’s why the genius known as Manafort sent out emails to Washington state delegates to remind them to vote. Only problem was he sent them to Washington, DC. A real braintrust twixt him and Trump.
I’m sorry. I must be lucky because he never pings me.
Now that you’ve insulted him, he will probably add you. He’s more troll than journalist. And a thin-skinned one to boot!
You can defend all you want.
Cruz will pay a price, just like he paid a price for siding with the Chicago
thugs.
He lost Missouri because of it. Just know this.
A Backlash is coming Cruz’s way.
What I posted to Durbin does not concern you.
On my view the Cruz side of this flap over rules keeps making the same logical error:
For example, let us say there is some rule A, and I think the rule is unfair. If I complain that rule A is unfair, it is non sequitur to say, "but it's the rule".
Now one could say "hey you should have complained at another time before you ran afoul of the rule". That may be prudent advice. But it is still avoiding the question of whether rule A is fair.
Now one can say "Hey dummy, you are so incompetent because you don't know how to take advantage of the rules". Again this may be a less charitable expression of good advice, but it is still avoiding the question of whether the rule A is fair.
One can say "That is the way it has traditionally been done". This may be true, but it is still avoiding the question of whether rule A is fair.
One can say "The party in each state is free to make whatever rules they like". That may be true. A rule can be legitimately put in place by those entrusted with the power to do so. This however does not make the rule fair and beyond reproach by people making a moral argument that the rule is unjust.
Having delegates hostile to the person who they were elected to support is simply not fair to the voters who elected the delegate. It is particularly unfair to the voters if the ballot does not have the name of the delegate nor anything about the delegate, but only about the candidate they are voting for the delegate to represent. It is very close to using the principle of "its not the people who vote, but those that count the votes".
Now I can understand why Cruz supporters are defensive and throw up the non sequiturs. It does not mean they are bad people. Its just they want to feel justified and avoid the full moral weight of this particular issue. I can understand Trump supporters becoming very angry at them wanting to avoid it though. It does not justify, nor is it prudent for Trump supporters to bash Cruz supporters over this. I think it better to try to talk reason.
Well, if you want, I can describe his orange skin color instead.
