I would actually think PA would favor Cruz in the district delegate elections. Since the delegates don’t list who they would support on the ballot, it is hard for the average voter to know who supports Trump, who supports Cruz, etc. But if there is one thing the Cruz campaign has shown, it’s that they know how to identify voters that support them, and how to clearly and consistently communicate with those voters on which delegates will support Cruz at the convention.
Video of Trump explaining about his neckties. Why he makes them in Asia

Your explanation is very good, He subs them out. Its the easiest way. He main concern is to get his imprimatur on some quality neckties to expand his “brand” and visibilty. Same as for golf courses, buildings and more.
Trump said that illegals (if not criminals) should get in line, not “touch base” and come right back in. And that any immigrants wanting in have to prove beforehand that they are self supporting. And that all legal immigration should be reduced until all Americans are employed.
Cruz, otoh, said as recently as 2013 that the border should be secured and all illegals given a path to citizenship.
Your boy Cruz will meet his doom on the third ballot. The GOPe will get rid of him for their own candidate. You know this.
***The above being based on Trump not winning outright on the first ballot***
Ford can use the same excuse then.
You are just a ray of sunshine with your pleasant comments. Bless your heart.
But it's easier for Trump to go on Twitter and Hannity and whine.
He'll probably do that.
Excellent points.
Your boy Cruz will meet his doom on the third ballot.
***************************************
That would be possible on a third ballot, but luckily Cruz will win on the second ballot.
Voters in the PA primary will vote for the nominee directly. The winner of that vote, statewide, determines the vote of the 17 bound PA delegates.
In each Congressional district there is also an election for 3 delegates (3 * 18 districts = 54 in the state). these delegates are elected by name with no indication of whom they support. So you have to do your homework and know who is running in your district and what they say they will vote. Some say a candidate. Some say they will vote for whoever wins the presidential vote in their district. Some say they will vote for whoever wins the election statewide.
These 54 delegates are all, technically, unbound.
“Trump needs to start courting....”

This is Trump’s big problem...he has ignored the grassroots schmoozing part of the process until very recently...
Cruz and his folks on the ground have probably been talking to these potential delegates for a year...now Cruz is getting the big $$$ helping him...can buy a lot of Super Bowl LI tickets in Houston next February!
Please see my post #46: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3420183/posts?page=46#46
I want 99% or more of Cruz supporters to vote Trump, when he is nominated, even if they hold their noses. In the event that Cruz wins the nomination, I want 99% or more of Trump supporters to vote Cruz, even if they hold their noses. Offending the other side does not encourage them to vote Trump (or Cruz) in November.
Cruz and Trump agree far more than 80% of the time (see my tagline from Ronald Reagan). They should be friends and allies, and we should treat both of them as such.
HOW THE COLORADO GOP ELITES SCREWED TRUMP!
A 19 minute video with an ALTERNATIVE EXPLANATION OF HOW THE GOP ELITES IN COLORADO SCREWED TRUMP! (It’s all part of the master plan by the DC GOPe crew to screw him out of the nomination)
I don’t agree with Stefan on some of his vids but I believe he’s got this one right:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDiZ5HW2wqU
But Trump complains about others doing the same thing...do you not see the irony/hypocrisy?
You know that citenzenship line was part of the poison pill to sink the gang of 8...and anyone not acknowledging that is either a liar or retarded.
Having said that, sending people to the back of the line does nothing to stop people from cheating. When you cut in line at a theme park, what is the punishment? At the very least you get kicked out for the day. If you have a season pass you can lose your entire season pass—so it costs you real money. Now what would the lines at a theme park be like if they just sent you to the end of the line? Well first everyone would cut in line. THen if you get caught go to the back of the line and try to cut again. It would be a nightmare—kind of like what we have on the border today. So Trump’s plan does nothing to solve the problem of people coming here illegally.
Trump wants to set things up to where manufacturers have a reason to stay here. That can be done with meaningful trade agreements. He also wants to address foreign nations from manipulating their currencies.
That’s a nice sentiment and in most cases I would agree.
But Trump is not most cases. He’s an outside agitator running as a caricature of a conservative.
“Trump is the new Al Gore.”
But it is Cruz who is trying to steal elections
So why is he attacking companies that did what he did. Instead of attacking the companies how about attacking our policies that are sending them out of our country. If he only attacked our policies then ok that’s cool, but he doesn’t he attacks the people and the company.
Trump has done a good job of staying consistent for five years! Perhaps it's hard to live in NYC, deal with the liberal government machine Trump has to deal with, and still learn to articulate conservative positions smoothly. I'll agree that he has not thought all the issues through in as much detail as I'd like, but Trump has been consistent for several years:
http://www.ontheissues.org/Donald_Trump.htm"
He's as good a bet as just about any candidate - with five years of reasonably consistent positions. I remember US Senate Candidate Rubio and how that promising conservative turned out. So, yes, Trump could be lying. But he could also be telling the truth. I am certain that Hillary, Bernie, Jeb, Kasich, and Rubio are all telling the truth with their Amnesty promises to betray America on immigration. I'd far rather take the chance that Trump (or Cruz) might be lying on a particular issue than settle for the certainty that Hillary is telling the truth.
