Trump supporters - Now you know how the investors in Trump casinos feel.
Eagerly awaiting good old El Rushbo to spin this crap as a positive for Cruz.
It’s about as clear as it can be: the Republican establishment wants eight years of Hillary. Anything to preserve the two party tyranny that rules the former United States (replace “United” with “Dependent” and you get the picture of the country today).
Trump needs to go independent. If states refuse to put him on the ballot write in his name anyway
I find it rather interesting that the GOP, Cruz, and K man from Ohio are not even pretending that the primary vote means anything any more.
I find it even more interesting that they are attacking those who do view the primary elections as having some sort of influence in the actual nominee as stupid.
I have been voting since 1966 and have never seen anything like this. The system has become totally corrupt. The closest was 1968 when Mayor Daily asked Humphrey how many more votes he would he need out of Chicago. Now the corruption is statewide and not limited to only one state.

Candidates for national convention delegate need not identify the presidential candidate they are pledged to support, but may do so at their option. The ballot shall include the presidential candidate each candidate for national delegate is pledged to support, or shall indicate that the candidate for national delegate is unpledged. CRC Bylaws, Art. XIII, § A(5)(c).
Our entire electoral process has been corrupted, undermined and compromised. This started decades ago with the corrupt in D.C. intentionally flooding the country with tens of millions of illegals, and their destructive chain immigration policies.
That wasn’t’ enough, now D.C. insiders are in the process of telling the voters to F off, and they will instead attempt to pick and install a president for you.
And just minutes ago, they just announced Goldman Sachs, where Cruz’s wife is a Managing Director, was just fined 5 BILLION for FRAUD.
They have corrupted and subverted our entire system.
So Trump, the “brilliant manager” didn’t bother to learn the rules of the game before playing the game.
That’s what some people want running the country?
You can sure tell which one is the lawyer here.
If all those New Yorkers start burning their registration cards - it could start a real fire.
Colorado set this up last August it was not a last minute thing and it is their states right to do it how they want. Trump repeatedly shows himself as a very poor looser.
FYI...
Trump rally tonight in Albany, NY. (I’m local.)
The local conservative talk station is 1300 AM and their studio is in the front of the same Arena. Should anything news worthy happen they will likely preempt the scheduled programming.

the celebrated author of “the art of the deal” now decries being defeated by the crooked deal. I dunno, I sense a disconnect here. both of these things can’t be right.
As best as I can tell, the argument now is that a plurality should be considered the same as a majority. And that ain't right.
The only thing crooked is you DA Trump.. You don’t follow the rules and when you get caught with your pants down you cry foul.. That’s your MO!!!
