Do you remember that story in the Bible where the traitor Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus for a mere 30 pieces of silver ...and then wanted to give the silver coins back?

Yea, me too.

This is how a tyrannical system should be overthrown.

How's that workin' for the Soviet Communist puppet Manafort helped move "FORWARD!" in Ukraine?

He also worked as an adviser on the Ukrainian presidential campaign of Viktor Yanukovych[9] even as the U.S. government (and McCain) opposed Yanukovych because of his ties to Russia's Vladimir Putin.[4] Manafort was hired to advise Yanukovych months after massive street demonstrations known as the Orange Revolution overturned Yanukovych's victory in the 2004 presidential race. [10] Borys V. Kolesnikov, Yanukovich’s campaign manager, said the party hired Manafort after identifying organizational and other problems in the 2004 elections, in which it was advised by Russian strategists. [9]

Last time I checked, my Ukrainian friends were celebrating not being under the purview of Manafort's Soviet Communist thug.  YMMV.

Cruz has a multimillion dollar pack whose objective is to obtain or poach delegates with at least 5 million bucks.

Our Principles PAC is organizing delegates and deploying a number of tactics with a goal of depriving Trump of as many delegates as possible in upcoming contests. OPP will focus on delegate wins, not individual state wins.

OPP will focus on states/districts electing unbound delegates to ensure those delegates are not supporting Trump on a first ballot and tracking candidates running for delegate in upcoming conventions to ensure that even if delegates are bound to Trump on early ballots, they move away on subsequent ballots.

Joe & Marlene Ricketts, Chicago Cubs’ owners, gave $5,000,000. to “Our Principles PAC“, an organization created exclusively to defeat Donald Trump.

Someone explain to me how this has any semblance of not being coordinated with TeamCruz campaign?

>>Geez. What a thug.

Are we there yet?

"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
 
It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.
 
The first stage being "demoralization".
 
It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.
 
Most of the activity of the department [KGB] was to compile huge amount / volume of information, on individuals who were instrumental in creating public opinion.  Publisher, editors, journalists, uh actors, educationalists, professors of political science.  Members of parliament, representatives of business circles. 
 
Most of these people were divided roughly into two groups:  those who would tow the Soviet foreign policy, they would be promoted to positions of power through media and public manipulation;  [and] those who refuse the Soviet influence in their own country would be character assassinated OR executed physically, come Revolution.  "
--KGB Defector Yuri Bezmenov
--Soviet Subversion of the Free Press (Ideological subversion, Destabilization, CRISIS - and the KGB)

In a couple of weeks after being completely schlonged in upcoming Tuesday’s primaries Teddy will be heading back to the mothership so Colorado delegates won’t have anybody to vote for.

Colorado-Cruzcrap-Caucus

Ted Cruz began sinking.

Ted’s mired in quicksand.

Cruz Coloradoized himself.

No Dear, learn the facts.

New York Trump won...61%
Wisconsin Cruz won.... 48%

Wisconsin Trump won...35%
New York Cruz won......14%

Trump outperforms Cruz repeatedly by wide margins in every possible way.

Oh, I see, you think Manafort is going to be running the country.

Silly and you know it. God you Cruzers are beyond logic. How many times did Trump go to CO? to UT? to KS?

Not one. Pretty clear, he didn’t expect to win there and made no effort. He DID go to OK a lot and made several speeches, and I think that one was a surprise. But he worked hard for NY and expected to win it and did far, far better than anyone thought (12 points better than St. Ted did in his home state, which is the worst primary performance ever).

So, no you’re wrong, but nothing new there.

Which Soviet Communist thug you think Manafort will stump for in Syria?

“If anything, the CO results hurt Cruz and his allies in the establishment more than anyone else”

I agree with that. It will be a rallying point of what is wrong with the election process.

Don’t care.

Like trump, I’m more interested in our own country.

BTW, thank you for acknowledging the tyranny that happened here in CO.

Uhuh. That'd be the amoral part.

>>Like trump, I’m more interested in our own country.

One of the few things I believe Trump said is true is that he wants to build a hotel in Moscow.

Tyranny didn't happen here in CO - it was just the usual lazy nature of what happens when geniuses like Wile E Trump can't figure out how the levers on their ACME Super Hero suits work...

Maybe if he flapps harder [IE: SHOWS UP AT THE CAUCUS] things will turn out different next time!

You seem to be under the impression that this tyrannical ‘primary’ just happened this year.

Get a clue, it didn’t.

The trump candidacy simply exposed a light on what has been a system run by petty tyrants for years.

As far as your handwringing over some other country, have at it.

In actual votes cast, Cruz got more votes in Wisconsin than
Trump got in New York.

Oh. So this isn't the first time you didn't bother to show up and participate in the process of "Government Of the People, By the People, For the People".

I see.

Did you know that Chickenloooper has a cozy relationship with the Banking industry?

Folks ought'a be concerned about who the Jesuit players are here in "Champion" town.
