If YOU believe this muck, I want to know what meds you are on, or NOT taking.

They're NOT going to keep Trump from meeting and probably exceeding the rules, as they are now. If the RNC changes the rules drastically, it most assuredly will NOT be Cruz who is chosen in the smokey back room.

WHICH IS PATENTLY RIDICULOUS, SINCE THEY DIDN’T EVEN BOTHER TO LOOK AT THE REQUIREMENTS.

Cruz is an anointed messiah IN A SICK CULT THAT THINKS THEY NEED TO BE IN POWER BEFORE CHRIST CAN COME BACK......the “seven mountain" dominionist theories are kookier than the mass suicide Jonestown cult in Guyana.

Cruz tried like heck, but he didn't fool evangelicals. They dismissed Cruz/s phony Christianity and put their support squarely behind Trump.

Cruz/s extreme Dominionist beliefs call for religion in every aspect of government. Coincidentally (cough), many of Cruz/s political positions.....like economic libertarianism and TPP....also fit into the far-out Dominionist teachings Cruz learned form his father/s preaching.

The elder Cruz preaches that Christians are divided into Kings and Priests,.....the kings (politicians) go out and conquer the financial world and bring the money back to the priests (pastors in contemporary terms).

Ted and Heidi Cruz/s economic libertarianism also dovetails nicely w/ globalist Goldman/Sachs---who financed Ted into office. G/S is Heidi's $700,000 a year employer. So it looks like the Cruz/s have a head start in getting money back to the pastors.

====================================

Cruz should tell voters:

<><> what role does he plan for his preacher father in the US govt,

<><> what govt job does he plan to give his G/S globalist lawyer wife? .....nclaurel wrote: “I finally found the NAU report. Heidi Cruz’ comment is under Additional and Dissenting Opinions on pages 33 and 34 of the paper. I would say from reading it that it is one of the additional opinions and not dissenting. Taken directly from the paper.”

[quoting Heidi Cruz ...] I support the Task Force report and its recommendations aimed at building a safer and more prosperous North America. Economic prosperity and a world safe from terrorism and other security threats are no doubt inextricably linked. While governments play an invaluable role in both regards, we must emphasize the imperative that economic investment be led and perpetuated by the private sector. There is no force proven like the market for aligning incentives, sourcing capital, and producing results like financial markets and profit-making businesses. This is simply necessary to sustain a higher living standard for the poorest among us—truly the measure of our success. As such, investment funds and financing mechanisms should be deemed attractive instruments by those committing the capital and should only be developed in conjunction with market participants. — Heidi S. Cruz

fair question. Short answer: The goal is to return the White Hut to the Republicans or bust. We need to stop fighting and direct our energies on the General. Trump is America’s choice 21 times now. That’s 2 to 1 over Cruz.

Cruz is still two states majority shy of qualifying. (He’s got six states, yes?) Where’s he going to find a 51% majority from here on out? Twice? Wisconsin is not a winner take. Kasich will take delegates in third at over 15%. So the delegates Cruz wins there are no help. He’ll still need to win something like 80% of the remaining delegates (I think there’s 906 delegates left). Even if Kasich drops out and wills his delegates and Rubio’s to Cruz, the math’s not there because Trump will still keep accumulating his own delegates.

Choosing either Trump or Cruz at a contested convention would be legitimate - if the Trump and Cruz delegates remained loyal to their nominees and no delegates from either group defected. Choosing Cruz with Trump delegates who defect even though their candidate is winning would be sleazy. Choosing anyone other than Trump or Cruz would be a shocking betrayal of the voters.

My money is on Trump in the first round as the most likely outcome, and a shocking betrayal as second most likely. Is the establishment sleazy enough to coach their most loyal delegates to encourage Cruz? My guess: yes.

Hillary supporter?
Nope. I WILL write in TRUMP.

In other words, you’d cast a vote for the DEM nominee instead of helping the GOP win.

Besides, if GOPe is going to reject Trump, they won’t hesitate to reject Cruz too.
**********************************
Trump and Cruz are the only two GOP candidates to win at least eight States, so are the only ones that qualify for nomination at the convention (based on current rules). I don’t believe the delegates will approve a change of that rule.

Where’s he going to find a 51% majority from here on out?
************************************
In the GOP primaries/caucasi, a candidate only needs to win the plurality of a State’s voters to “win” the State.

Cruz and Trump have done so.

Winning the GOP nomination requires winning the MAJORITY of national delegates (50% + 1).

Cruz is assuming that all of his delegates will stay with him. Didn’t a lot of those delegates get chosen when he was still regarded as a principled anti-globalist who is an outsider?

Won’t matter - “they” will ensure Cruz doesn’t get the nod.

Keep this in mind people.

All the hate projected onto Trump is because the GOPe, the Uniparty hate you for wanting to throw them out.

Trump is just the leader of the people’s rebellion and people like Shoddy, nasty Cruz are in it to stop YOU!

The ruling class has feared this rebellion for years and that is why you are witnessing this level of hate.

Do not let Cruz and his global buddies win.
