You say Trump is a weak man? I’d like to see anyone else stand up to non stop negative media, stand by his staff and not drop out after getting hammered by pretty much every establishment politician.

Whether you agree with his policies or not, Trump has accomplished a historic achievement just getting this far, and that requires dedication and strength. History books will be writing about him in this election for decades to come. Whether he wins or loses, he has achieved a victory in the sense of rallying voters to resist the establishment status quo.

Cruz drank this POISON, and he likes it. Once he has got the taste for this Party Syndicalism, he will not, he won’t ever, stop drinking this poison, he will poison our entire country at every level with such Syndicate corruption that tskes our voice away, that delegates the “votes” rather than accepting the will of the people. He and his Falangismo which the majority base has rejected will impose Falangism across our nation, CRUZ IS NOW A THREAT TO OUR LIBERTY AND MUST BE STOPPED.

Stop Cruz!
Free the Republican Party from Party Syndicalism!
Stop Bush, Stop McConnell, Stop Rubio, Stop Romney, Stop Ryan, Stop Limbaugh, Stop the Syndicate, Stop the Falangismo, STOP CRUZ!

LIBERTY IS NOT DELEGATED!
RULES WILL NOT HAVE US RULED!
STOP THE GOPE AND CRUZ!
STOP CRUZ THE ENEMY OF DEMOCRACY (EOD)!

The Silent Majority will NOT BE SILENT! Cruz drank the poison and he likes it, stop this poison that takes away our liberty! He will NEVER stop drinking this poison! Never! He is niw a threat to our country!

This is NOT liberty. Cruz is un-American!

Give me Liberty or Give me Death.

In fact, Trumps chances of getting to 1237 may come down to how our PA unbound delegates end up voting...

The unbound are party regulars so would slant GOPe/Cruz. Might have a few real Trump supporters among them. Those PA "unbound" are bound for the first ballot.

I read somewhere that most of the PA delegates will go to Cleveland unbound to an candidate no matter the voting results in the PA primary...

Po The Donald!

well then have him buy the democrats...they may cost more to buy but he has the cash.

Your GOPe pals did that in Mississippi. It really didn’t cost much more. They just paid them a little cash and cigarettes. Yeah, that and threating minorities that they were going to lose their voting rights if Chris McDaniel got elected.

So buying democrats is more a tactic of your GOPe pals.

And my comment was in response to your comment.

That’s how this forum works. You click reply and then you reply to that post. It’s no facebook with nested conversations but we’ve had it for years and it works well for us.

They aren’t my pals.

But for now this is their party. If you want to steal the party from them then you need to beat them at their own game. Trump isn’t up to the challenge. It looks like Cruz is the only one that may be able to pull it off. But I do give Trump credit because he distracted the GOPe while Cruz plotted his path.

Very very unlikely Trump gets 1237, but yes if he does it will require unbound delegates (wherever they may be) voting for him to end it on round 1. It *could* happen, but based on Trumps ability to play the delegate game it looks like most of them will be Cruz votes.

Yes, I believe Trump to be weak. He is a man of words, not actions.

When he wins, he boasts about his strength. The truly strong have no need to boast to reassure themselves of their strength.

When he loses, he whines about how it’s ‘unfair’, or someone else’s fault. The weak wheedle and complain in the hopes that someone will rescue them with their support. The truly strong own their own failings and overcome them, rather than seek preferential treatment.

He talked and talked about how he’d sue Ted Cruz over his eligibility. But no action... just talk. The weak just talk. The strong act.

He fears a one-on-one debate. The weak shirk direct conflict with their opponents, the strong relish the opportunity.

Trump’s supporters have strength, and their anti-establishment ideas are strong. But Little Donald didn’t create those ideas or the energy behind them, he’s just opportunistically riding their coattails. I stand by my assertion that Little Donald is a weak man.

Cruz will give us Hillary.

And I won’t be supporting a party that shows such a lack of integrity. It would seem that these delegates would have concern for the wishes of the voters. If not, I have no concern for the wishes of the GOPe delegates.

I would still vote for Cruz if I believe everything is done with integrity. Integrity matters more than their little rules. We’ll see what happens.

Huh? What did I copy and paste? Or is this one of those Trump type attacks...where the whole thing is made up and 100% false. But since you have way to make a point you just make up lies.

Yes, it’s like 54 out of 71 PA delegates will not be officially pledged towny candidate on the first ballot...

Hah! Bet you that rascally Ted Cruz knows about this and already has his “Gestapo” Black operatives rappelling into the Keystone state as we speak to steal what is rightfully Trump’s property! And, Cruz professes to be a Christian! If he doesn’t turn, he’s gonna burn!

So you’ll vote for the candidate with the least amount of integrity—Hillary? That makes a lot of sense.

Having said that...shouldn’t Trump give up his “free” delegates that he won by the Rules that were rigged to help Jeb? For example, they made Florida Winner take all for Jeb. Trump didn’t even get 50% of the vote, yet he gets 100% of the delegates.

Trump should give up those delegates and then he can ask Cruz to give up the Colorado delegates. or at the very least unbind them for the first round.

Where did I say I would vote for Hillary? If the GOPe cannot act with integrity, they won’t get my vote. Sorry.

I voted for Cruz in the primary. It was close between him and Trump. Since then, Cruz has done nothing to appeal to me. I don’t believe he’s the guy that’s going to get our economy going. I don’t believe he’s going to be best on immigration or refugees. I don’t believe he’s going to be best on trade. I like Trump’s tax plan too. There are a lot of reasons I now prefer Trump.

As I said, we’ll just have to wait and see how things turn out.

ok.

I think the immigration you may want to reconsider his position. It’s actually a lot tougher than Trump’s, but maybe that’s why you don’t like him.

His position is you will be sent back and not allowed to return. Trump’s position is that you go back...touch base and then we let you back in. That’s no deterrent to others wanting to sneak in. If you expect self deportation you have to have a real penalty—like never being allowed back if we catch you.

I scrutinized it. A mixed bag. I see lots of uncommitteds and district winners. A good amount for Cruz and Trump

What does district winner mean?
