OK. WOW. Grassroots and Cruz? Yikes. No, that is not a thing that comes to mind at all.
” to require that they say they were supporters on entry” for Trump rallys? Yes, they had to start doing that because of the PROTESTERS. It is a legal thing. It has been public knowledge for quite a while now. Look it up. But if you refuse to do so, get back to me and I will explain it to you.
Trump does not spam his supporters with donation requests. Check into it.
You can think of the small Cruz turnouts as “one on one” rallys, but I imagine that Cruz would give his back teeth for crowds like Trump gets EVERY time.
It is what it is. I am not trying to insult anyone. Nor am I trying to advance Trump. He does not need that from me. His base is massive and growing. It is surprising in one sense, but in another it is quite understandable.
This campaign season has been fascinating.
It's not about the rallies or the numbers at them...never was....but you fell for it and so did Trump...you've all been feeding off each other along with the media while Cruz quietly worked ‘the board’ behind all the rhetoric....
Well now your guy's suddenly realized he's playing with a high stakes player at a high stakes game, who knows the game very well and was and is prepared to do the maneuvers necessary to win this...and Trumps dealt himself a hand now he doesn't know how to play.
It's time to “Think” about the plays being played now not the crowds surrounding the table.
I doubt that will work in Cruzs favor in the end.
People don’t enjoy feeling like they have been “maneuvered” out of their votes. They simply don’t. They sure as heck won’t admire someone who got far less votes and then pulled that stunt.
And they don’t have to give that person their vote.
Trump doesn't ask for donations because as he's stated his self funding will be payed back, ( that he's “Borrowed” from himself as he said), by the general election funds which he will accept donations to if he wins the primary. He's very good at slipping things by his supporters and at varying times so that he can say he did tell you...because he knows they only really listen to what they want to hear him say rather then “think” through the world salads he feeds them.
No ...Cruz turnouts were never intended to be rallying points.....rather informing the people and taking their questions from his audience as one would in a Town Hall meeting....and there was a two-fold purpose in that..... Win or lose this election Cruz's plans were going to inform the people so they understood the entire climate of Washington, why it's broken and what needs to be done to fix it...and he has done just that from the beginning...actually even before he began his run.
His filibuster in 2014 was to inform the public of how Washington works ,and why it wasn't, in laymans terms.....the press nor the Elite politicians would give him what is generally given to express this to the public at large.....the filibuster worked to get the public aware and informed. Many listened and more than a little impressed with all that he shared....
His run , aside from the Presidency, continues that via his ground campaign....Trumps been feeding off Trumps position on the issues long ‘before’ he announced in order to determine what he needed to say to convince the public he was conservative enough to run in the Republican Party....because the Demorates refused him...they knew who he was and about and did not want his representing them. Bill Clinton actually encouraged him to run.
I've been in Cruz's court long before he announced and did hours of research on the man and his history and positions.....because this year NOBODY in the media nor politician was going to tell me how to vote or read these candidates....and I wasn't about to join any Cukt of personality mass movement as Obama hatched and carried through.
So here we are and I will stay with Cruz to whatever end this election brings until we have a nominee. The game is “Theirs” to play and maneuver in.
They aren’t being manuvered out of their votes.....that’s Trumps lingo for failing to follow the game and it’s rules. A game he thought he could manipulate as he has his supporters.
When he ran up against Ted Cruz you do note that Ted is the only candidate he’s refused to debate with....he dodged it time and again for obvious reasons.
There’s always going to be a winner and a loser and along with it those who feel slighted....it’s that way every election...and will be moreso if this goes to convention as it looks like it will.
The only one who can stop this from going to Convention is Trump. That ball is in his hand.
Current meme: If he can steal a delegate here or there; if he can keep Trump under a certain percentage; if the Diebold machines can keep changing Trump votes to Cruz; if he can keep his birth records sealed; if the tabloids and madam's black books can delay getting out the specifics; if Heidi will hang in there a few more months, etc., etc.
The Cruz campaign, buoyed by the corrupt GOPe which will throw him overboard the minute he has served his useful idiot purpose, has totally morphed into Democrat lite, I see absolutely no difference at this point. It has nothing to do with winning; just corrupting the system enough to deny Trump the nomination.
Ah, not to worry. I'll just savor this pretzel. Pass me the mustard, would you.
For those who refuse to vote...
Our founders didn’t run but you go ahead and hide your head back in the sand....But better is recognizing getting a Republican in office is EXTREMELY important..... If you don’t vote at all, then you are handing an opposing vote to the libs. .....If Cruz is the nominee, then pinch your nose and press the button, because the alternative outcome is far less palatable....I would be doing exactly that myself, and barf on the way, if Trump gets the nominee.
oops...i guess it’s ‘Bruce’ Jenner...lolol
Don’t be knocking those Olympic legs!
Oh, you’re right. It surely must be sour grapes. Why Cruz is a wonderful, honest, forthright, higly respected, jovial, well-loved and respected man, especially by his peers. It was just foolish and short-sighted of me to suggest that he is underhanded, sneaky, unliked, and dishonest. What the heck was I thinking?
Lol! And just imagine, teddy is fioRINO’s cuck!
Suggest all you want....suggestions are free to give....thank God these aren’t always proven true....otherwise we’d all have to own up.
Heh. You’re admitting cruzniparty tedstablishment is a talk-behind-your-back, manipulative little beyotch.
No I’m saying that there’s a whole lot going on behind the scenes the media doesn’t know...nor do we.....there’s more to “dealing” then meets the eye.
Wow, and here I was so nice in owning up to my shortcomings. You sound like you think I was being facetious or sarcastic.
Man, you should send that picture to the New York Times, or at the very least, the National Enquirer. Imagine a successful businessman appearing in a picture next to the First Lady of the United States. I think you, my friend, have at last found the smoking gun. You should be very proud. How the heck did Trump fool us all this time? Just out of curiousity, are you a private dectective? I’ll bet you are. Anyway, thanks for sharing.
