Report: Trump Upset With Aides Over Delegate Failures
Townhall ^ | April 1, 2016 | Guy Benson

Posted on 04/02/2016 7:07:48 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

telling insight into yesterday's speculation-igniting, closed-door meeting between Donald Trump and top officials at the Republican National Committee -- via the New York Times:

(GRAPHIC-AT-LINK)

It's almost as if surrounding yourself with unsuccessful people actually isn't a wise way to run a presidential campaign, a realization that may belatedly be dawning on Trump. Turning to a new Politico report, is the Republican frontrunner aware of these realities? The math is difficult as it is -- particularly if he loses Wisconsin and especially if his South Carolina delegate haul is actually in some danger. And as we've discussed previously, Team Trump is being seriously out-organized in the crucial shadow campaign for delegates....

Wait I thought it was Cruz stealing the delegates. Not Trump screaming up. Hmmm.

I guess Trump ISN’T running his campaign like he runs his business.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Guy Benson is a GOPee lickspittle.

That about refutes it. :)

No, Trump, did. The minute he understood the issue he brought in Manafort. You’ll still be underestimating him when he gives his farewell address January 2024. Awkward lawyers from Calgary and Texas are a dime a dozen.

Or maybe he is. If my dad left me $200 million I’m pretty sure I’d be a “billionaire” today.

Manafort is an elderly gentleman, no? Cruz has had several hundred people working on delegates for months now.

The GOPeeCruz reminds me of that little nerd dweeb that knew ALL the rules to Monopoly when we were kids - but would only share the ones that gave HIM an advantage.

He had fun till nobody would play with him any more. In ANY kind of game...

I'm sure as an Army veteran you've heard the phrase "Win the battle, but lose the war".

That's where you're cruzin'. :)

The Key Paragraph from the article is actually a quotation from a Politico article. Trumpsters and Trumpettes should consider skipping this part. Cruz fans should read it twice.

Here it is.

"If Trump heads into the convention without the magic number of 1,237, already more than a hundred delegates are poised to break with him on a second ballot, according to interviews with dozens of delegates, delegate candidates, operatives and party leaders...In one of starkest examples of Trump’s lack of support, out of the 168 Republican National Committee members — each of whom doubles as a convention delegate — only one publicly supports Trump, and she knows of only a handful of others who support him privately. Meanwhile, Ted Cruz has been whipping Trump in the quiet, early race to elect his own loyalists to become delegates to the convention, meaning that the Texas senator could triumph through delegates who are freed to vote their own preferences on a second ballot, regardless of who won their state..."

How is that “sliming” someone? Or do you claim that Don Trump is somehow a “self-made man” or some such?

Good luck getting the Trump primary kids to come out to play for Ted's team in November, if it comes to that. :)

I'll of course do my part, but I'm not one of these fired-up Trump anti-establishment types who are participating in the political process for the first time.

I'm in it to see Trump damage the Media DeathStar as much as he can.

When you tote up the sheer amount of money in Media salaries by the hour that are being brought to bear against Trump, it would blow your mind.

Of course, young Ted will certainly get that "attention", if Trump is removed from the equation.

The recent bimbo eruption was just one of the Media DeathStar's secondary batteries throwing a little "chin music" at Ted's head. :)

The main armament is currently devoted to Trump.

"If my dad left me $200 million......."

Trump and each of his 3 siblings inherited $35 million apiece from their father's estate.

What this article highlights is the PROBLEM with the GOPe. Delegates are out for themselves, their pockets (pocketbooks?) and political futures. They do not represent the people who voted.

Sic semper erat, et sic semper erit.

The Donald needs to get to 1237, then dare the GOPe to take it away.

Remember, if voting really mattered, they wouldn't let us do it.
