They act like the northeast hasn’t voted yet. I’ll be damned if I voting for a chump who won 4 primaries. I am writing in trump period if he doesn’t get the nod.
That doesn’t excuse his lack of knowledge about the primaries nor does it excuse not putting in the extra 10 or 15 million to have the best ground game from the beginning.
He will still likely win.
He must state that he was self financing the primary, not the general, because he is NOT spending half a billion or more needed to win.
I’ve grown up in NYC and have read about him for a long time.
He’s just not gonna spend it. And there’s nothing wrong with that. He still wont owe anyone because he’s wealthy.
Trump is a one-trick pony. Just cannot close the deal, despite writing(bragging) books about deals.
What PMSNBC, Cruzers, and other slow leak news organs don’t understand that Trump doesn’t need a single delegate out of the state of Colorado. It wasn’t in his equation.
Gratis the GOP-e and the Left — vital support that Cruz cannot compete without.
Trump’s record as a businessman shows he is cheap. and not great on details. But he is no dummy, and might be smart enough to figure out what he needs to win.
I know. Cruz supporters are as dumb as their candidate. He’s off working some Hail Mary while trump is talking to voters. Cruz has no idea how crappy life is for him in the next month as he watches trump gain and gain more wins throughout the northeast getting closer and closer to 1273.
He owes the banks about a half billion, so my guess is that he owes a lot of people favors.
You realize we have but one trick to break the Uniparty’s chokehold.
>He owes the banks about a half billion, so my guess is that he owes a lot of people favors.
When you owe the bank a million bucks they own. If you owe the bank 200million you own the bank.
The objective, or rather the first battlefield objective, is to keep Donald shy of the 1237 GOP delegates by tactical attrition and savvy ground game, and thus save the Republic. This, routing the enemy from his high ground, is neither nor immoral, nor is it particularly against any of the established or agreed-to GOP county or state rules all candidates should know and cone to terms with before going into the kitchen where it is damned hot.
agreed.
My sister said Ivanka having the baby left him without her guidance, which I do believe. She is a strong, sharp woman and probably BLASTED him on some of the things he said last week
he will learn and adjust.
Cruz is working second ballot. He is dead first ballot. Trump will get 1273 so Cruz’s efforts will be wasted.
Weird. We thought when we voted that it mattered. WE The PEOPLE can be so silly, can’t we?
But, Trump may get the 1237 EVs needed. Won’t be easy, but quite possible.

Only if your name if J.P.Morgan.
He should aim at being able to hold onto to his delegates on the second ballot. If he can’t do that then the Establisnment treat him like they did Goldwater.
"At one of the Colorado district caucuses on Friday afternoon, the strength of Mr. Cruz’s organization was on full display. The campaign flew in Representative Jim Bridenstine, Republican of Oklahoma, to give the crowd a pep talk. “Senator Ted Cruz has been in the trenches over and over and over again fighting for the conservative constitutional principles that we hold dear,” he said. Delegate candidates strolled up and down the aisles holding Cruz campaign signs with their names and ballot position written in marker. A small group of Trump volunteers wearing blue “Make America Great Again” hats aided his efforts, passing out their preferred delegate slates and cheering from the back of the ballroom
It’s been mentioned before in some of the other states before now. I remember them comparing a Trump HQ to a Cruz HQ just down the street in Iowa. The Trump HQ was closed at 7 pm and there were still around 40 people/volunteers at teh Cruz one.
Reagan was a big picture guy, as Trump seems to be, but Reagan also did the work long before he ran for office when he spent time with people all over the U.S. during speaking engagements and factory appearances.
