Yeah, you always suck me in. I start to read an article, then see who has post it, and it’s like I’m about to step on a snake in the woods, and I stop.

LOL! Have you been living under a rock? The GOPe hate him nearly as much as they hate Trump! They are using him to undermine Trump. Don’t feel bad, because Cruz has been sucked in as well.

How do you know. You probably didn’t read the article either.

By the way, do you pledge to vote for Cruz if he gets the nomination?

Don’t worry about the pledge thing. Donald’s already broken his so I guess it’s ok if you do so as well.

“I love Cruz’s voice ... it’s great. He could be an actor.”

LOL! He is an actor and though I prefer Trump I’ll vote for the actor if he gets the nomination, even an actor is better than a Rat.

First of all, inhale deeply of some strong hallucinogenic substance and then proceed.

Crony Capitalism is a partnership between corrupt business people and corrupt elected officials who give each other bribes from the pubic treasury.

That's a very narrow view...

From Wiki: Crony capitalism is a term describing an economy in which success in business depends on close relationships between business people and government officials. It may be exhibited by favoritism in the distribution of legal permits, government grants, special tax breaks, or other forms of state interventionism.

In several instances, you can stick Trumps picture right next to that definition...

You should be in mourning for Donald Trump’s foot.

He’s shot himself there so many times lately.

It is now in a cast and he can’t even hobble to the mirror to do his combover.

as I understand there is nothing magic about this 1237 number.

There is nothing "magic" about it. It is simply the number of delegates needed to have an absolute majority of delegates this year (50% + 1). That has been the requirement to win the GOP nomination for 160 years, so there's nothing magic about it - it's just what is required to win. But no one is going to agree to allow someone to win the nomination with less than a majority of the delegates.

So you’re calling me a liar? Have I ever made such an assertion of you?

Wisconsin GOP Polls: Cruz Has Advantage on Trump

These polls are polling registered Republicans who will vote for Bill Clinton if he ran as a Republican. I've pointed this out dozens of times.

I predict Trump will win by +5 or lose by -3 at the most. If Cruz wins, it will be a photo-finish like MO and he'll only pick up a handful of delegates as WI is not winner-take-all. It'll be a Pyrrhic victory for Rafael that'll make the actual Pyrrhic victory look like the U.S. after the Spanish-American War.

Ted Cruz, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Kasich are not remotely qualified to hold the office of presidency. Is Trump? Don’t know, but I do know, and so do the majority of people in this country, that others are not.

Now, if your boy or the democrat gets in, then we’re in sorry shape, My Friend. We are.

Cruz, Rubio... they got bad advice. They should have unified behind Trump. It’s never too late... but we’re seeing who these people are. They’re just like the rest.

Sitting here waiting to post.

Waiting for a comment that isn’t too stupid to respond to.

Waiting.

2d- if this thing is about to become a negotiation - can the irony be lost on you as it is on the author?

Yes, Trump has admitted often the protection money he has paid
as a cost of doing business.

But the question here is: Cruz and his Merry Pranksters
(ie followers) does NOT admit accepting all means of
support from the very cabal that we have all been fighting.

He & his MP are taking the road extremely well-travelled,
the one paved by the Establishment Globalists
