At the midpoint in this saga, Donald Trump appears to be suffering what could be a cataclysmic reversal, one that could rewrite the direction of a drama that has kept us glued for so many months. The reversals in delegate commitments that Trump has experienced were not accidental. The campaigns that are being run by Ted Cruz and Donald Trump are complete opposites. Ted Cruz is a dedicated and cunning politician who understands that victory in politics is about blocking and tackling. It is more about work that goes on behind the scenes involving thousands of people than it is how one man performs in front of a camera. The Cruz team, led by Political Director Mark Campbell, has spent more than a year paying painstaking detail to the rules of the game in every state and the critical players in every county. They know exactly what they are doing, and they know that Donald Trump does not.

The irony is that Donald Trump is supposed to be the businessman. It is the cornerstone of his campaign narrative. He will fix America, he will make America great again, because he can set goals, define a strategy, build a team and execute a plan—in short do all those things that people in business do that people in government do not. But this week it has all been laid bare. As it turns out, there is no strategy. There is no team. And there is no plan. There is just Donald Trump, riffing away as the cameras roll. And as we learned this week, the more serious the issues get, the more specific the questions, the more he is adrift.

Can I ask how many times you have declared that Trump was done this election cycle?

So you are saying Cruz is a lying, cheating, GOP establishment weasel?

Winning the nomination by losing in both delegates and votes is total chickenshit, and is exactly the type of back room politicking that everyone is fed up with.

As I’ve said to you before, Cruz’s back door attempt to bypass the voters is completely devoid of honor.

And you’ve morphed into GGG with some tact and a huge posting history that many of us respected. Past tense intended.

untrusTED is a PAC paid/owned, DC politician/career govt employee hack.

Trump has exposed another ugly underbelly....that a ND RNC operative, Curly Haugland, confirmed.....that our primary votes don’t matter. That the apparatus/GOPe choose the presidential candidate, not the voters.

Read all about this, here...
http://www.valleynewslive.com/home/headlines/ND-GOP-delegate-says-political-parties-choose-presidential-nominees-not-voters-372269161.html

Trump hasn’t riffed on anything. The only one who is - and has been - riffing...is cRuz....on Trump’s policies....like the wall, trade, etc.

Time for cheaTED to do the right thing, for once, and drop out, for the good of the party and the voters.

He’s only helping the vile GOPee....and himself (wonder what other kind of ‘painstakingly’ and ‘brilliant’ deal cRuz has made, for himself, to stay in as a splitter).

But, we know him now....and know he won’t do that.

This is so much crap - which is the usual from you. Cruz is a nothing, a very unlikable nobody. He is a right-of-center placeholder that completely botched the south so badly that he stunk up Florida and set a new low in his home state of Texas. Cruz doesn't even rise to the level of lipsticking a pig.

All Cruz is currently is a stooge for the GOPe. If he fails to stop Trump he will become the worst pariah in the party since Nixon. Cruz is running as a de facto loser and he wears the label well.
