The instant Trump’s campaign starts receiving big bucks from McConnell’s SuperPAC,

No, Trump gives money to McConnell's superPAC - didn't you know that?

If he trusts Manafort than Manafort has to bring in who he also trusts.
Let’s face it, Trump has thevsharp knives out everywhere looking to jab him. As he goes on it’s also like a partial game of Who Do You Trust?

Trump gave money to Cruz. Has Cruz refunded it?

I’ll try to make this clear for you. I have a limit. That limit involves my least favorite Establishment boss: Mitch McConnell. Cruz gave McConnell’s Senate fund a huge donation, which was then used to steal the Mississippi runoff from McDaniel and hand it to Cochran. That wasn’t good.

But what is worse—what crosses the line—is Cruz taking big bucks from MMcConnell’s PAC, and Cruz’ bundlers climbing into bed with McConnell’s PAC. That’s more than I can stomach.

Forget it CC, the cruzettes are too entrenched in the story they’ve woven about their savior. I enjoy watching them carp between themselves, same old same old, it’s pathetic.

It’s a new world, a new day, a new time. Some people simply cannot accept the reality that the old structure is rotten and will come down one way or another. Sad reality but better to face it and find ways to soften the tumble.

I know, cruzees are all up in arms over bathrooms, cuz that is THE most important issue facing the nation today. How about the newest tunnel discovered from mehico to the US, how about Russian making lost of noise, and China, being oh so stealth. I swear, if I were an enemy of this country, NOW would be the time to strike, with everyone up in arms over bathrooms and worrying about an NHL player calling a ref a fag - how weak and pitiful we’ve become.

With the namby pamby attitude overtaking this country, it would require little effort to come in and push us around - the pajama boys will cower, the cruzettes will lecture, the women will retreat to a false safe space and the real men, what is left of them, will be the only ones fighting back. It disgusts me.

cruzettes want to argue the fine point if cruz is IN or OUT of the GOPe clutches - so damn blind it’s not even funny anymore. Clueless, utterly clueless.

I notice that when the content can’t be refuted, the standard M.O. is to attack the source.

You completely ignore the fact that your St. Cruz has the GOPe behind him. You know, the Washington DC Cartel.

Unfortunately, given Cruz, Kasich & GOPe are playing nasty political games, Trump has no choice but to combat their crap.

Actually, no they are not criticizing him for that. But Cruz has been vilified for having members of "the establishment" associated with his campaign, proving that he is not a "true outsider". All we are doing is pointing out the hypocrisy of Trump and his supporters - Trump has brought in members of the "establishment" to help his campaign, so I guess he is not really an outsider either...

First, Ted Cruz is NOT a 'natural born' US citizen, thus his claim to fame of following the 'original intent' of our Constitution is a LIE... Second, this nation does not need Brack Obama II, a Harvard Law schooled liar lawyer junior senator, to rule over US. Third, Cruz is owned, lock, stock, and barrel by his donors.... Deception runs wide and deep in the Cruz bot world. Cruz's definition of 'small government' is his selection by using the GOPe method of the few picking the candidate they intend to foist upon US.... liberal to the bottom of the rotten barrel.

Cruz didn't give McConnell money - the Republican Senate Committee, on which Cruz was serving as vice-chair, did. Cruz was very supportive of McDanial, and obviously McDanial agreed - he was the chairman of Cruz's Mississippi campaign.

Trump on the other hand gave his own money to help McConnell get re-elected. So should I assume from your comment that you will no longer support Trump?

I do NOT need a corrupt court to tell me what the 'original intent' of the founders intent of an US natural born citizen... Just like I do not need a court to claim there is a 'right' to kill the unborn, a right to call same sex hook ups a marriage, or that Kennedy care is the Constitutional law of the land. Cruz's profession is corrupt from the bottom up to the top down. IF Cruz is divined eligible to hold the office of president, then so shall be Obama and lying Ryan's Syrian refugees...

Rush was pushing this too. But here’s my take. The outsider isn’t gonna let the insider (Cruz) STEAL his nomination so you bring in those who know how the game is played and hit them (Cruz) Thrice as HARD!!!

Go Trump Go!

When FDR appointed Joe Kennedy to the Securities and Exchange Commission, it was applauded. Where the bodies are buried and all.

"Trump is simply lighting BACKFIRES!"

I think I understand. It's OK when Trump does it. It's just not OK when anyone else does. This explains EVERYTHING.

Yeah, well check out Texas values. IT was a Texas case that ol two faced Teddy went underground and ignored, that the supremes used to make same sex hook ups a marriage right. Then ol two faced Teddy slipped into New York City to collect a pay off from his gay buddies.

"Cruz supporters criticized Trump for not having a ground game. He went out and bought a ground game, and now they’re criticizing him for that."

You've got it exactly backwards. Trump and people like you criticized Cruz for having a ground game. It's Trump's and your hypocrisy that being criticized.

Reality check, Cruz's ground game was the crooked GOPe. Cruze is as crooked as the GOPe... but you carry on carrying his message of deception.

We're entering a new phase of the campaign now, the phase where the presumptive nominee begins to unite the party. Also, lobbyists are simply advocates for issues; oftimes they advocate for good things. Where would we be in this nation without, for example, 2nd Amendment lobbyists?

Thus, I find your attempt at smear to be rather clumsy and disingenuous...

Vote Trump
