This is the week Ted Cruz and the GPOe killed the Republican party.
It’s dead, Jim.

Really so Cruz is going tri lose Nebraska and SD?
And even less for trump.
Cruz is GOPe but he aggravates them
Neil Bush is now his bundler in chief
Every major GOPe Superpac is dumping money on Cruz
GOPe operatives are stacking anti Trump delegates to unbound anywhere they can often known Cruz supporters
So you can save that Cruz is not GOPe canard
That Rush Limbaugh bullshit
He’s not their first choice but they would rather lose to Hillary than see Trump win
If they steal this from a Trump lose is precisely what they will do
Hamilton was never my favorite founder. Just because he lived back then doesn’t mean he ‘got’ Liberty. Hamilton was, in many ways, the founding father of Big Government. Radical Progressive Woodrow Wilson was a big fan of Hamilton’s, too. Perhaps Trump is, as well. I, however, am not.
You really are dipping into the personal attacks a bit much. Be careful, just because Little Donald loves to resort to them doesn’t mean you can serve them up with impunity here.
Until Woodrow Wilson, there was NO Federal income tax at all! Our government collected the money to run the government with TARIFFS!
The nation/government was divided between the FEDERALISTS and the ANTI-FEDERALISTS!
The European "ENLIGHTENMENT MOVEMENT" included some real nut jobs, such as Rousseau, who would be/is considered to be an EXTREME LEFTY today.
This nation was based on English Common law, Judeo-Christian and Masonic principles, and the good old Protestant work ethic.
This has ALWAYS, until very recently, been a NATIONALISTIC/PATRIOTIC and PROTECTIONIST one.
In response to your post, isn’t this where Manafort comes in with, and correct me if I’m wrong, plan 172?
It’s remarkable how much the Trump folks have to keep expanding the definition of ‘GOPe’ so that it encompasses everyone on their Enemies List. Gosh, I remember just last year they were saying Cruz would be an ineffective President because he couldn’t work with anyone, whereas Trump knew how to negotiate.
The times they are a’changin’, it would seem.
I’ve gotten to the point that I won’t even read his replies anymore. There is nothing there to respond to because he isn’t hear to have intelligent debate. He is just here to bait people. Like a typical troll he gets his jollies from your replies. Just ignore him :)
Teddy is and ALWAYS has been a HUGE "insider" and goes along to get along most of the time. His silly, flash-in-the-pan pretense at being an outsider and a conservative are a sham.
Trump hates the pay to play/crony Capital crap and wants to do away with it. He did, to play the game and to get things done that he wanted to get done. You really don't understand any subject at all.
Trump, unlike Cruz, wants to clean up D.C ., stop the waste and corruption and do what's right!
But please don't vote for him; we don't want you to soil yourself by doing what's right. LOL
Check your math. The article is correct in calculating 65%.
1237 total needed
758 in hand
479 remainder needed
732 remaining available in primaries
= 65% of remaining available delegates.
Given that Trump has captured only 45% of those delegates allocated so far, that's a steep hill to climb.
I understand quite a bit more than you seem to be willing to give me credit for.
You DO realize that tariffs are essentially just taxes in a different form, right? They get passed on to the consumer in the form of higher prices, all the while stifling trade, employment, and innovation.
The Federalist/Anti-Federalist era ended LONG before Wilson. And Hamilton, Mr. Protectionist, was a Federalist (hint - the Federalists were the ‘Big Government’ guys of their era)
All intellectual movements contain people all over the radar. Just because Rousseau was a product of the same era does not mean he was a classical liberal.
Now keep telling me how I don’t understand Anything about this nation’s founding. Little Donald calls people names (that’s part of why I call him ‘Little Donald’). You can call me ignorant, but that doesn’t make it so.
You’ll vote Cruz if Cruz is nominee right?
Next week Cruz will lose too many of the remaining 892 .....he loses 19 and he’s lost unless GOPe can steal it for him via unbound delegates
Trump can win without GOPe if he gets 53% of remaining delegates
Cruz can only win via GOPe carrying him over the finish line
Cruz aggravates them with his grandstanding that goes nowhere but he’s one of them
They don’t like him and they don’t think he can win either with his manner
But Trump could end them and they know it
Losing with Ted beats winning with Trump
The GOPe wins with Trump in reality they are gone
And just WHAT do you do, as a self employed what? I asked, because I doubted that you have ever employed many people, run several extensive businesses, and had no need nor the ability to be a BIG DONOR, which you are incapable oif understanding.
That's it...$100,000? Sheeeeeeeeeesh, what a pittance. But never fear, that shall soon shrink to nothing, IF Hillary, Bernie, Teddy, or some "chosen" GOPEer becomes the next president and you can kiss your present life and your future bye bye.
You claim to "cherish" liberty, yet are more then happy to lose it.
How old are you?
Yes if trump gets 1237 and somehow isn’t the nominee yes the republicans will lose. But outside of fantasy land neither scenario is happening.
Trump won’t get 1237
If a miracle happens and he does then the GOP won’t steal it.
It's over. Trump has won.
The rest of your scenario is a fantasy.
However, what if...???
1. Trump wins <1237 delegates by state primary rules.
What then...???
Trump needs 65% of the remaining delegates, not 53%. And in either case, that’s a higher percentage than he’s proven capable of earning thus far.
As for ‘winning with Trump’, maybe. But a lot of conservatives like me will stay home or vote Libertarian rather than have to vote for another RINO like Trump.
I’d rather lose on principal than win by becoming like the other side.
Your post is very silly and making a reply, as though you know 2DV's mind, is foolish.
Attempting to put words in my mouth and making all kinds of peculiar assumptions about me, reflects rather badly on you; NOT on me. Bless your heart.
