Sorry start thinking what you have dome the First Wednesday in November when the GOP is an after thought

But we stopped Trump

It’s no different than the GOPe stealing the primary for Thad Cochran in Mississippi.

It is a common practice of both con men and cult leaders to separate the mark from their family and friends, leaving the mark with no support network. This binds the mark closer to the con men or cult leader, reducing the chance that they will escape.

In an unrelated item, read the dozens of Trumpster posts on this thread about how Allen West is a card-carrying member of the GOPe.

I want someone to run the Government like a business. The Government is not a business and cannot be run like one. If I had a business to be ran, I would hire qualified, experienced businessmen. If I have a government to run, I would prefer qualified, experienced politicians.
I want someone who grows the private sector.
The government cannot grow the private sector. It can stiffel growth, but it takes private business to grow the private sector. However, besides the point. Trump has not shown he knows how to get government out of the way. Rather he wants to expand the reach of government, absorbing even more debt with his plan to socialize completely medical care in this country.
I want some one who knows what "Best Business Practices" means.
Again, if I was running a business, this is applicable. Besides, Trumps track record does not establish he understands this either. Trump has more hits than misses, but he has plenty of misses.
I want someone who will fire the lot of them.
The President can't just fire the lot of them.
I want some one who is NOT beholden to the UNiparty/GOPe/Bush Family. THAT IS NOT CRZ!
Seriously, have you even been paying attention?

Cruz is proving that he is Mitt’s sock puppet and the GOPe bitch now. That megalomaniacal POS is never going to be President. Ever.

“If I have a government to run, I would prefer qualified, experienced politicians.”

Doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result is called insanity.

[beandog]

You can post it all in caps if it makes you feel better, but it’s still BS.

[pollywog]

“game”?
“ deal”?

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

If Trump was doing this the MSM/establishment punditry would be crying, “See, we told you that Trump was a lying, thieving snake!”

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

This nails it. Cruz loses gravitas daily in my appraisal of him.

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

Maybe Cruz should win elections.

[Larry Lucido]

Uh, oh. The trumpquisition will throw West under the bus now (they pulled Carson back out from under the bus wheels last month).

[Jim Noble]

Political parties in general, and their government by National Conventions, are not representative organizations.

I’m old enough to remember when there were no primaries. The current state is bad, because it creates an illusion of “electing” a nominee, without rules for defining electors (WHO gets to vote, and under what circumstances).

The result is a hodgepodge of semi-elections happening at different times under different rules, and no organization (and both parties are, still, at least loosely organized) can tolerate being bound by the results of such a mess.

The best available short-term solution would be to restore the 2/3 rule, which both parties had up to 1968. Under this system, you could not have “winners” with 60% of the voters opposed to them. Neither McCain nor Romney could have been nominated by a 2/3 rule.

Never Cruz, Never Trump = ALWAYS Hillary and DEATH to AMERICA..

[pollywog]

Regardless of who wins the GOP nomination, I will be voting against Hillary or Bernie and for the GOP nominee.

I agree.. this is getting ridiculous.

They’re going with a family thread because Cruzers keep wandering into our rally threads. There’s supposed to be a cease-fire on the rally threads but some Cruzers don’t know.

But once they end up in a Trump rally thread it starts and vice versa. Though we’re reminded to stay off Cruz threads.

[Dead Corpse]

He won a standing vote. When the REAL vote was taken, he lost. That is how it goes.

Some times, there will be several votes taken until everyone is satisfied with the result and there are no further objections.

As for State’s, like mine, with a caucus system... We evote for delegates at our smallest political unit. These then go to a District, then a State, then the National Convention for a vote. We aren’t bound to vote for anyone. IF that were true, MN would still be going for Rubio... Who is no longer in contention.

As usual, Trumped-up wins where bluff and bluster are King. But loses where the real war is won...

No. George W Bush. He had both political and real world experience. He had lots of executive experience and he had an MBA.

“...I sure wont be threatening to help Hillary...”

Under ANY circumstances.

I’ve ALWAYS liked the Colonel.

Would be great to see him somewhere in the mix.
