New York never mattered, Ted Cruz won the Presidency

Red State ^ | April 20, 2016 | Michael Harrington

VOTERS: "We're intensely concerned with the ongoing, GOPe-sponsored illegal invasion of America, and our ruinously porous borders."

TEAM CRUZ: "POTTIES!"

VOTERS: "We also have legitimate fears about the increasing Islamification of America, and the cheerful acceptance of creeping Sharia by both parties."

TEAM CRUZ: "SEX TOYS!"

VOTERS: "Oh, for -- ! You're not even really a serious campaign, are you? Be honest, now."

TEAM CRUZ: "Ted Cruz has already won the Presidency! WOOT WOOT!!!"

You'd have to be mad of stone not to laugh, really, by this point. ;)

LOL!

Lyin' Ted should follow his own words...

Well... it's different when you're actually the living incarnation of Moses, though. Duh. ;)

[Covenantor]

So much fun! Set up a straw man with lies and build on the lies.

.....Rubio came out in support of Trump yesterday....

He did!! That would be great. Those Rubio delegates would seal the deal without having to deal with the "insider" strategies of Cruz and Kasich.

“A lot of those have already been reapportioned because he suspended his campaign. You missed that?”

Wrong. It depends on the rules of the various states. Most are still bound as long as their candidate has only suspended, instead of withdrawn from the campaign. Not one of the 17 candidates has withdrawn yet. None of the delegates has been reapportioned, and none of them is being counted in Trump’s bound delegate total.

Trump leads, that is how he makes deals, just like Reagan did.

Nothing in the GOP Platform that Trump advocates changing realistically changes how the GOP will govern.

I have more respect for Bagdad Bob.

I think the Red State delegate count assumes that Cruz will poach a significant amount delegates before the convention.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

I think the Red State delegate count assumes that Michelob is an entree. ;)

Corker Bill and TPA logic

Then I guess the Carolina Panthers won the Super Bowl and the Mets won the World Series.

Nothing in the GOP Platform that Trump advocates changing realistically changes how the GOP will govern.

This, unfortunately, is true.

The Republican Party has been selling out on every single matter of principle for the last twenty-five years. Nothing that Trump advocates will change that. We will continue to sell out on every single matter of principle with Trump as President.

Call me crazy, but I was kind of hoping for something better.

I was kind of hoping for a President who would stand firm on the promises made in the Republican Platform. I was hoping for a principled conservative who would implement a conservative program.

Clearly, that man is not Donald Trump. As you so pointed out, nothing that Trump advocates changing realistically changes how the GOP will govern. We will continue to pat ourselves on the back because when there were two trains to Hell, we chose to get on the Local instead of the Express.

I was hoping that we could hop on the Uptown Express, and start winning back some of the things we lost. But, instead, we will get Donald Trump. And, as you say, nothing that Donald Trump advocates changing realistically changes how the GOP will govern.

I think we see real prospects of getting 3 things from a Trump,Presidency

1) fiscal restraint. Trump,is a shrewd business guy and also a miser when it comes to getting a deal. He spent $.13 per vote in NY. Sanders spent $9 per vote and Hillary probably close to same. See any difference? If a guy like Trump cannot rein in govt spending , then no one can. Or will. So this is our only hope, obi wan. The economy is everything really. It affects everything. Pick the man with the best prospects for managing economic recovery ( we will be in recession or worse by next year) and everything else follows. Even reducing abortions that are chosen by women with no economic hope of supporting a child.

2) border controls. It may not be the wall that he promises and it may not be what everyone wants, but there will be a system built to respect and try to preserve US sovereignty over our borders. Fir national security and plain common sense. Why should we keep apologizing and being ashamed of fhaving borders ?? And laws?? The other candidates were too timid and too PC to even discuss as part of the campaign this until Trump made a national issue.

3) Nationalism. Yes pride in and love of this country without being cowed and intimidated by slurs of racism, naziism, colonialism , apologies groveling and revisionism. Only one man has stood up and been impervious to the mobs, the hater accusing him of hate, the globalists warning that he will destroy civilization as we know it. Only one man. And if you don't know this to be true then you are never going to vote for trump anyway. So good luck with whatever democrat we get to continue Obama’s work.

More like am Andy Kaufman fansite.

Just a non-funny
Just as irrelevant
Just as (politically) dead.

[epluribus_2]
