Gee. Are the snowflakes, whose "dog ate the homework" whining again about "stealing" and "unfairness"?

Needless to say, you can have swarms of people in a stadium cheering on the tossed red meat, and get wall to wall TV coverage over and above all the others--for months at that, it doesn't amount to a hill of beans if your infrastructure you've dismantled state after state post-caucus instead of having your people engage in their local county and state parties intricately and extensively. It means your team has simply left the football field at the end of the third quarter with a leading score, only to forfeit the whole game. Nobody stole nothing! Manafort would be the first person to tell you this. And that is what he was urgently and belatedly hired for by Mr Trump.

so says Politico

As the top cable news networks have pointed out, multiple times, all candidates had an open invitation to call/interview on any show segment. Cruz really had no response as to why he didn’t take advantage of that when confronted by the networks themselves.

There have only been two stories about Trump laying off staff: Politico and NewsMax, with NewsMax parroting Politico. Trump has staffers from one state who are actively working other states now. After the primaries, there is adequate time to restaff for the general - nobody’s left the field, it’s just halftime for some. How much did it cost the Cruz campaign to ‘open’ 10 offices in South Florida that were staffed for a day or three? I suppose we can equally say Cruz laid off staff, too.

I won’t say anyone stole anything. I will say the same Politico article stated that in Denver, “Trump seemed to have as many or more supporters show up as Cruz” while Josh Perry, “a GOP operative” in Denver, was quoted: “There’s not a lot of Trump support to begin with..” . Now, either some body is completely wrong (i.e, Politico, in which case everything they said in the article is wrong) or some thing is completely wrong. It’s up to us at citizens to figure out which one is which. #TheChalkening

You really mean he was not prepared to bribe and threaten the delegates in order to keep what he rightfully won?

You’ve said what I wanted to say - much more eloquently. Trump had no ground game - politics is a contact sport with the contact here bring organization-voter relationship building. It’s how Obama got those idiot new voters to vote for him and why they disappeared during the mid-terms.

Politics is not exclusively a popularity contest.
