The delegates Cruz acquired in Colorado and Wyoming were obtained not by the results of an open primary election or caucus, but by the election of delegates by GOP party activists who favor Cruz at the party conventions of the two states in question.
Those delegates were not earned by winning the vote of the people, but by selection by party insiders and activists. Anyone not blinded to supporting Ted Cruz with the “by any means necessary” mindset can see the difference in how those delegates were obtained and we don’t like it. One needs only to look at his polling numbers since for proof.
Cruz and his supporters will soon find out that those 48 delegates Cruz obtained at those two conventions where the people of Colorado and Wyoming didn’t get to cast their vote for the candidate of their choice will end up being the most costly delegates in election history.
I have to vonfess, I’M impressed./s
LOL, your posts are comedy gold.
Ted Cruz will NEVER defeat Hillary Clinton. He can’t even defeat Donald Trump.
I will settle for a priapic victory....
Hate the game, not the players!
By now it should have become obvious; except to those whose head is embedded in another part of their anatomy; that Cruz is a dishonorable, humorless and spiteful nobody, w/few acquaintances and less friends.
A bulletin for his fan club. He got his ass handed to him in New York which will be repeated across New England and the Mid-Atlantic next Tuesday. Say sayonara Cruizer Boy!!!!
Funny isnt it?
Ouch!
Cruz is that kid in high school who was smarter than almost everyone else. Technically he’s right 95% of the time, but you hated him anyway.
Too bad Ted is not smart enough to learn how to dial it back. How old is he now?
LOL he can’t even make a speech without lying in the first 25 seconds. Trump is an outsider not a politician. Ted Cruz is the politician and not the outside. Is it any wonder that people mistrust Ted Cruz?
Very good.
Not to mention Cruz surrogate and lead spokesperson, Mark Levin.
Who's dumb enough to believe that??? That's why Cruz is doing so badly with the public vote...The Party is what's shafting the people...We don't want to unite it, we want to change it...We don't even need the Party Cruz thinks we need to embrace...
We will restore our spirit; We will free our minds and imagination; We will create a new and better world; We will bring back jobs, freedom, and security; We will find new ways to ignite an energy revolution with more jobs and greater choices
Sorry Ted...While you are stumbling around hoping to find solutions to America's problems Trump has already proposed the solutions and they sound a far sight better than what you fail to propose...
Ronald Reagan and Jack Kennedy were outsiders.
Here we go with political correctness...Not many people know John F. Kennedy by Jack...Gotta show us some of that intellect he has...
My sense of Reagan is that as governor of a state about 3,000 miles from Washington, he was an outsider.
Kennedy was an insider but the ‘outsider’ notion was that he was the first Catholic to be President of the United States.
It was a big deal back then.
But I still see Cruz’s speech as one that ‘leaves me cold’.
As cold as the snow LaVoy Finicum’s body laid in when he was shot on January 26th protesting on behalf of the Oregon ranchers Dwight and Stephen Hammond.
Ted Cruz talks ‘religious liberty’ but refuses to single out the corporations pressuring the political leaders to abridge the First Amendment rights of gay marriage opponents.
They do run and buy our political system as Bernie likes to say about Hillary and that includes forcing Republicans to veto protections of religious freedom for opponents of gay marriage.
Talk about those Anti-Constitutional corporations and their executives, Ted.
I gave Ted Cruz money, but I’m voting Trump in PA next week and for Trump delegates as well.
At least Trump appears to be opposing a big agenda item of the corporatist crony capitalists, a wide open border to import cheap labor.
Bingo! Right you are.
I do not want any more from “losing Ted”, not even his concession speech.
It is over for Ted—game, set, match.
As they say, it’s not just a river in Egypt.
That was a stirring speech and I can see why Cruz supporters could be so enthusiastic for him even now.
>>>Trump will never carry New York in the General Election.. There are 4 times as many Democrats as Republicans<<<
Uh, are you saying that NO Republican will ever carry New York? Does the GOP Candidate even bother Campaigning there nowadays? You know Trump would, same as he will in California.
How does the GOP get any Republicans Elected in New York, whether for Congress or the State Legislature then?
I believe Trump might have a realistic shot at taking New York in the General being the Hometown Boy.
Your comment means nothing since Cruz would lose New York 90% to 10% in the General and that’s being generous. This is coming from a former Cruzer and a Native New Yorker.
