I am so happy you are so awestruck with the Saintly Cruz!

You support this type of behavior? Good for you! I will not. I WILL NEVER EVER VOTE FOR CRUZ. NOT EVER!

But you support this? You deserve what you will get.

You mean like how the PA supreme court did? Oh wait they ruled he is NBC. So I guess you're wrong.

Meaningless ruling. The overall objective is to keep Cruz in the race to stop Trump.

If Cruz is nominated or chosen for VP, Hillary's operatives, the leftist Soros-funded front groups, and Obama's DOJ will unleash Hell on Rafael. Cruz will be spending most of his campaign time answering questions about his citizenship rather than the issues.

And if we go with Trump’s minority of voters we will lose for sure. Most people want to vote for the winner. Trump is losing voters as he goes along even after he is seen as the front runner. He’s sure to lose to Hillary and the one person in the polls that has higher negatives than Hillary. The GOP will probably go with Trump based on their recent record of picking losers.

I only look at credible news sites, not Trump-shilling rags like national enquirer, gateway pundit or the treehouse.

Whatever. How about put your money where your mouth is. I’ll bet you $10,000 if Cruz is the nominee that he will not be derailed in court.

How about it?

Another Hillary supporter, eh?

If Cruz is nominating, I'm removing myself from politics and preparing for the end. I have no intention of voting for someone who stood with BLM thugs over the rule of law back on Fri 03/11.

If the GOP pulls this, at least 35-40% of its voters walk. They don’t care much about the Presidency. What they care about is their seats. Only if people like Ryan, Graham, etc hold Congressional seats can they continue to rake in campaign contributions from crony capitalists and vote into effect legislation which benefits THEM and
not America and US.

Which tells you just how much cred this screed earns.

My dog didn’t leave this big a pile out back.

He (Trump) just doesn’t seem to be taking the whole “I’m running for President” thing seriously.

You may be on to something. There is some speculation by, I think it is Ed Klein, that Trump wanted to jump in, get a double digit lead, come in second in the delegate count and put himself in a great position to renegotiate his "Apprentice" contract. Not sure if that is true but it may be true.

Both Melania and Ivanka keep telling him to act more presidential but he keeps ignoring their advice.

ted, the GOPe, hillary, and the Uniparty are one.

Especially against Trump.

A write-in vote for Trump is neither a vote for the GOPe nor hillary.

That failure was in getting the 2 state members on the rules committee. A significant failure, given the rules committee has the power to all but decide the nominee, and is a fairly small group with 2 delegates from each state.
********************************
The Rules Committee is comprised of 112 delegates; 50 States and 6 Territories.

One good thing about this is that these various so-called delegate selection schemes in various states are being exposed to the voters, probably more than at anytime in recent memory. And that goes for both parties.

There is no need for super-delegates and no reason why any office holder should have a delegate slot reserved in either party. Every single delegate should be a pledged delegate who stood for election along with the presidential candidates. It’s done that way in some states, at least for a portion of the delegates. Should be for all delegates.

And the caucus systems are being exposed as the cumbersome, time consuming, vote limiting, insider controlled schemes that they are.

All these schemes and scams designed to thwart the will of he voters should be ended.

I thought a Cruz/Trump alliance might be possible at one time, but doubt it will happen now. Their combined forces would be able to take over the GOP and change it for the better.

By that logic a write in vote for Ted is neither a vote for Trump nor Hillary.

The advisor who dropped out of his campaign said Trump never did seriously expect to become President. His plan was to come in second in the primaries.

I can see this. He is pushing 70 and has a young wife and grandchildren. I wonder if he really wants the pressure-cooker life- it seems to age Presidents rather quickly.

So say you. Cruz is a loser and even delegates he’s convinced to support him will bail by the convention.

So you are stating publicly, Extremely Extreme Extremist, here on FR, that if Cruz is the nominee you will not vote for him against Hillary. Got it.

Relax, Paul Manafort will get him fired up.

I heard the promise of wearing a real Captain Crunch Admiral’s hat when elected has already lit DJT’s boilers back up!

Your offer is preposterous. How would you collect anyway? I don't use Apple Pay, Google Wallet, or Paypal.

All Hillary/Obama is going to do is unleash one of their leftist judges demanding that Cruz unseal his records that may show his Mother was a Canadian citizen at the time of his birth.
