>>“Trump, Cruz, Carson...are all unacceptably anti-establishment”
One of those three is not like the others.

LOL. SO TRUE, and the way you worded it cracks me up.
Thanks for making me laugh out loud today ; )

“...the similarity that counts is that the establishment does not like them because they threaten the establishment.”

Like I said, one of those three is not like the others.

“One of the three, a Canadio-Texan.”

BINGO

“Last spring I was enthusiastically supporting Cruz, thought we had a shot at nominating a real conservative.”

Same here. Don’t know how many times I posted, “Cruz or lose”, but reality soon popped that bubble for me, when Ted helped push through TPA. That was the moment my support came to a full stop.

This from a person who on April 7th said that upstate NY would go Cruz or Kasich.

This post and others a very delusional thought process

“Oh I think Trump will win the majority...but some of those upstate locales will vote in enough numbers not to allow trump to get all 95 delegates!”

Thus went my comment to freeper Jane Long on April 7. Trump got 60 per cent of the vote but only 89 delegates, not all 95 like I said!....The other 40 per cent was split between Cruz and Kasich. Where do you think the anti Trump votes came from...mostly smaller upstate NY communities...not NYC areas or Albany. In many counties when you added up the Kasich and Cruz votes together, they beat the Trump vote numbers. Kasich was a half way decent candidate...probably a better candidate for a more genteel time. WOW...you did some real opposition research going back to April 7th for something with which to slam me with...whatsa matter, do ya mason or illuminati much?(a bit sensitive to the question are we?)
My question came from the relative ease with which Trump seems to slide thru media generated trash storms as well as his ability to pin Hillary to a wall with her own trashy past when she tries to slam Trump. He displays some of the Teflon that Reagan did as well as garnering a lot of criticism from the usual RINO republican sources, again the same as Reagan. There is a faction of well connected folks that operate between the two parties seeking to keep our nation on a path of self destruction no matter which party is nominally in charge of things....it has become too obvious to try to hide it any more! You have read the story of Bre’er Rabbit, haven’t you? The VP choice will be interesting to watch as the ‘establishment’ may try to put one of their own in...(GH Bush with Reagan for example) though Ben Carson just said that Palin is one of 5-6 on the short list.(I don’t think that one will happen though, LOL!)

As for your diagnosis of a “delusional thought process”, how very Soviet of you!...would you have Barak deny me my second amendment rights?

I wasn’t sure what your point was...something about “delusions and Trump” in answer to a “shot in the dark” question...You weren’t even on this thread and I didn’t post the question to you but never the less something about about my posting prompted you to answer my post. Not only answer my post but to go back to a posting I made on April 7th to find some bit of opinion with which to “confront” me with! So what was your point? And why did you go back to April 7? Why make the effort at all? Now how do you think you come off? I mean why even respond to what you figure was a deluded person? Change agent much?
Something I said strike a nerve? If the shoes don’t fit don’t wear them!....As for my opinions well, some are right, some are wrong but they all, with a dollar and some change will get me coffee at McDonalds! Okay, dear heart? Do you get my point, sweet’ums? Say hello to the lodge for me!
