trump is just unprepared. to be such a brilliant guy, he sure hasn’t figured the delegate process out very well...
You could count most of the population of the nation in that statement. Not many non-insiders knew much about delegates before this race. In fact, Laura Ingraham was talking about how convoluted the rules are of each state.
Oh nobody matters to sCruz except sCruz.
The winning of voters is the question.
Trump has been winning votes all along. Cruz and his mindless minions (not saying you are one, but just saying) are however stuck on manipulating the process, and primary caucuses, to make it APPEAR their guy is much more popular with voters than he actually is.
This won’t translate to actual votes in the actual election. Cruz won’t win in the election. If fact, he will be so defeated it will be a complete partisan disaster for the GOP.
Yet there is a (huge) section of the GOP which is now completely sold out. That section of the GOP is now throwing their weight, and all of their considerable skill at manipulating the media, against Trump.
For Cruz. At least for now, that is.
I am beginning to strongly believe they are in a “stop Trump at any cost” movement all across the entire GOP, and am getting (very) fed up with the GOP.
They are worse than useless. They are harming our country.
Harming our country.
That is not the way to win people over. Not at all.
Trump should consider running this time, as an independent. I am not saying he should run as an independent, but he should start to consider it, and be prepared to deploy if the GOP continues to be so blindly political against him.
For real.
You people keep saying that. Is that on the talking points memo for the week?
Cruz is now fully exposed as an Establishment Insider. He is not the SOLUTION, he is the PROBLEM Trump is trying to solve!— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) April 9, 2016
I have no idea what you’re talking about. Nor do I have any idea who the hell “you people” are.
The reason none of us are listening to what our “betters” are telling us is because we don’t want to listen to them, we want them GONE.
What I’m saying is, Trump is CLOBBERING Cruz in the delegate count no matter how you want to look at it. For somebody who is supposedly SO GOOD at wrangling delegates, he sure isn’t doing very well. Cruze is a loozer. And a snoozer. Boom. out
the “clobbering” isn’t going to be severe enough to actually win a majority of the delegates, and the main reason for that is that he’s getting outflanked by cruz in an excercise that the alleged genius should have mastered months ago.
YEah, how’s he doing that smarty pants? You people keep saying that, but I don’t see any basis for your taunts.
If Trump runs as an independent that guarantees the end of the Republic and the country Trump claims to love. He also has huge unfavorables.
At one time I hoped for an alliance, but there is so much bitterness I no longer think that is possible.
Wow, we need to lighten up and break the tension here a little! Let’s change the subject to something more neutral.
Have any of you had the lady fingers served at Mar-a-Lago?
There are 5 million people in the state of Colorado. It doesn’t matter! It shouldn’t even be a state anyway, all of those empty boxes should be territories.
I don’t think the Trump campaign even factored in any delegates from Colorado.
Would that include using a personal name brand to grossly inflate your stated net worth???
srsly? I mean, you’re posting in a discussion of an article that is about demoralized trump supporters. do you have to look much farther than that?
If Trump’s supporters in Colorado are demoralized now . . . if he should win, wait until he tells them the wall was just a bargaining position . . .
I think what may happen is if this nonsense keeps up, Trump will launch an independent challenge.
I am all for this. I don’t know what he thinks, and I don’t know what America thinks. But I am all for it.
Trump is getting treated very badly by the GOP. If Trump rolls out an independent run, he will immediately draw maybe 50% of the GOP out with him. Ending the GOP.
They will cease to exist.
Trump will also draw a huge number of democrats. The type who work, and want America to bring back jobs. You know, the type the GOP has abandoned.
I think if this plays out the way it seems, the GOP is now stuck in a downward “support the party” loop with no means of winning, without Trump. The party is stuck. They are going down.
What I don’t know is whether Trump will win.
Contrary to what many have said, I think he will run very strongly against Hillary. Trump will, as an independent, win enough democrats and a (bunch) of Republicans, win the presidency, be strongly pro-American and form a brand new political party which will supplant the GOP.
That is if, Hillary is the nominee.
However if Bernie wins, I think Trump won’t get the number of cross-over votes from “democrats”, and Trump will come in second.
The GOP will however cease to exist as a real political party.
The GOP needs to think long and hard, and realize what they are messing with here.
Just listened to cRuz’s comm director say the reason cRuz is doing well this week is his excellent ground game. She realized what she’d said...paused....and then quickly added....oh, and we have a great candidate.
Wow....telling.
What you cannot wind at the ballot box you steal in the counting of the ballot. That is the Cruz way!
