Ted Cruz needs to stand down.
Trump for president.
It will be simpler when it comes down to Trump vs. Kasich.
“Anxiety was mounting throughout the conference call about the lack of organization in the Land of Lincoln for Trump. As one person said “There is no Trump team in Illinois, it’s us” “
I was afraid something like this would happen. Being born wealthy - or even becoming a celebrity - is not the same as leadership.
And, too, it is not something that can be leased or purchased like a bride.
Love your posts !
Why is Trump apparently unable to put together a decently-competent campaign organization?
I have read several reports such as this one regarding the disorganization and lack of detail in Mr. Trump’s campaign. In the real world of presidential politics, understanding the rules and doing the state and district level organizational work is equally as important as the marketing and negative branding where he has demonstrated such skill.
One other thought: I first started lurking on Free Republic during the first term Clinton scandals. There was always the confident prediction that scandal would bring him down. He won re-election without any difficulty. Then came Obama and the same confident predictions that information to prove his lack of eligibility was just waiting to be released and that would bring him down. (I think even Mr. Trump jumped on that bandwagon.) Despite all the big talk and confident predictions, he was re-elected without any problem. Now, in this nomination process and prospectively for the general election, we see hopes and dreams being attached to the next big scandal. You sometimes have to question whether we really want to win the presidency or just settle accumulated grievances.
If the Illinois delegates were put in place by the voters, what additional "leadership" do they need, other than fulfilling the job they were elected to do at the convention?
If they are wavering, looking over their shoulder to see what The Ill-Annoy Uni-Party Combine tells them to do (i.e. change their vote to Cruz, Kasich or Ryan), then they have no collective backbone.
With all the slime being thrown at Sen Cruz he must really be beating Trump at organizing and recruiting future supporters at the convention. Trump’s only weapon is to throw dirt and to lie about his opponent. Trump can’t attack on substance because he really hasn’t thought through what he believes on any given topic.
I have yet to see the Guardian even come remotely close to understanding American politics. They are the most clueless “major” newspaper in existence when it comes to foreign reporting. For all I know, they may be that clueless about the U.K. as well, it’s just that I only read their asinine articles about contemporary U.S. politics. As a result, when I do bother to read them, it’s to get a good laugh.
If you are a Trump supporter, you can always blame Cruz for being “dishonest”, or as non-Trump supporters like to say, following the rules.
What I get out of this, is this is a very poorly run campaign. What a joke this is. In every state he is being taken to the cleaners. He may be the greatest negotiator in the history of the universe, but he has ass clowns running his campaign.
I have heard he is cheap when it comes to paid staff. Doesn’t even have a paid pollster.
I went to that site and read the article, and the comments below it. One person said he/she was on that call and this article is complete nonsense.
Perhaps it is time for a business man to be President. Calvin Coolidge said...
“The business of America is business” or “The business of the American people is business.”
Since there are NO military leaders who have stepped up to the plate it is time for a REAL businessman.
Cruz seems hell bent on giving it all to Hillary - it appears that he also has an ego and a narcissist side. I had great hopes for him and now he’s as useful as Scott Walker or Rick Perry.
