You weak minded Cruzbots should get a new “whine”, we are all saturated with that one.
Anyway, I never addressed you so screw off.
If Cruz can’t beat trump legitimately....he can’t. Then he will lose to Hillary. You are one of the most delusional people on this site. You think losing the entire east coast doesn’t matter? Your a joke.
I think Trump may be happy to lose.
It was fun running when it was easy.
Loved the yuge crowds and the applause. Kinda enjoyed the fights.
But things haven’t gone as well lately. Trump may have to fight and not tweet.
If he won, he’d have to live in the White House. That shack.
He couldn’t sleep in his own bed in Trump Towers.
He’d have to ride in Air Force One. with no ladies and no tanning bed.
Only one third of the money Trump raised at his big Veteran rally has gone to the vets.
hahaha
The new ‘fabricated’ Trump. Who speaks in complete sentences with soft modulation. Who never interrupts or blasts opponents. The Trump who never refers to his opponent as ‘lying Ted.’
Can’t wait.

"Waaaaahhhhhhh! I don't like the threads you post."
Then...don't...click...on...them.
Is redstate saying he lied?
No. Redstate is saying he prepared.
Wrong...
Yep!
“You are one of the most delusional people on this site. You think losing the entire east coast doesn’t matter? Your a joke.”
I suppose Maine isn’t considered the “east coast” in your non-delusional world.
You are a doosh. I said your freak won Maine with a whole 8000 voting in the whole damn state of 2.9 million. You are the dumbest person I have seen on FR in 11 years.
>That is not true. They had Robert KKK Byrd and he was afforded all the benefits and honor of being a demonrat.
That was before the rise of the Social Justice Warrior Nazis. These guys spend the vast majority of their time purging people who are not left wing enough who failed to be left wing enough 20 years ago. If Robert was around today they’d purge him.
Trump ain’t going nowhere. That old dog don’t hunt.
I just wish one Trump supporter would blame the right person...Donald Trump. He didn’t even learn the rules and that is Ted Cruz fault?
Donald Trumps kids can’t even vote for him because they are Democrats... How many more signs do trumpbots need??
right back at you and all the rest of the Cruiser loser ...
you’re delusional if you think the Canadians going to get past the Dem without getting knocked out as NBC in Roberts Supreme Court....
Or have you been asleep the last few years that everything Obama and the left want then get out of the Roberts Supreme Court
But that assuming you get past the GOP at the nomination
Cruz and his supporters are GOPe tool that will be disposed of as soon as they are no longer of use... so they may just pull the plug on him then and there
The terms “Cruisers” and “useful idiot” are about to become synonymous and interchangeable
The course they will be saying it in Spanish in five years thanks to the GOPe and the Cruisers
silly Cruisers they think there little tail is wagging the GOPe dog
1) There was no way a contested convention could beat Trump. He was either going to be defeated at the ballot box or not at all.
2) He could beat him at the ballot box.
"If you want to beat Donald Trump here's how you do it: You beat Donald Trump with the voters,"
Working to replace delegates loyal to him for slots representing voters who chose someone else is an ugly enough game to play without suggesting he had planned it all along, even as a contingency. The other candidates are playing catch up on this kind of betrayal of the voters, and the process has become uglier and less democratic. To suggest he planned it from the beginning, even as a strong contingency, does not make him a "winner" it makes him a snake. My opinion of Cruz is higher than that. I take this moral failing to be an act of desperation rather than a long planned betrayal.
What's odd about this primary - is it's similar with many people who don't like Trump. It's like (and I'm calling this legitimate because as human beings, we like to think of ourselves as totally intellectual - but we're not - and that's a good thing because we'd be dead quickly)j ... it's like he strikes people stronlgly enough right off the bat that there is an instant 'no' followed by plausible reasons to say one is against him for this or that reason.
I've tried to ask myself if I do that with Cruz. in other words, I trust my instincts on people very much, but part of trusting those instincts is knowing they are ultimately fallible. So ... is my position against Cruz just a reaction? But I don'tt think so, because until a few months ago I along with probably 3 or 4 others was always posting "Hey, they are both good, but Cruz is not ready for prime time as a politician even though he's perfect on paper ... he could learn from Trump for 8 years how to persuade, move the country rather than just stand for things ... and that would be a very very powerful 16 years - Trump followed by Cruz. So despite my reactions to Cruz ... I was willing to chalk it up to 'he's just got a quirk where he comes off as inauthentic, overly practiced as if for a debate, and so maybe he was just a super nerd who found his calling in debate, which is theatre, so he overdoes the theatre'
But then I began posting that I thought there was something ... very slightly ... wrong with him ... like that he didn't have a choice, that the inauthenticity wasn't necessarily dishonesty or a mask, but that ... there might be a very light aspergers-y spectrum thing going on, and the problem with that kind of thing is that they don't really share the same nature of human experience as everyone else - they are slightly disconnected. I know it well because my father, who was super smart, went to Harvard blah blah blah, had it too. Nothing you could ever diagnose, but entirely in his head and disconnected in a very slight way .. just something off, that you'd only know or recognize through observation over many years.
My point in saying that isn't to disparage Cruz ... I say it more as a way for his supporters to understand the experience others have of him - it's an experience - not just a 'feeling' like a liberal has - not something shallow - many people - and I might say a huge (not yuge) majority of us ... have a certain reaction to Cruz where everything he says is perfect if you wrote it down or memorized it (like a practiced debater would do, having observed how he 'came off' to different audiences having been judged for it over and over ... ultimately I don't know what the word is ... Insincere? Inauthentic? Masking Something? It's almost 'creepy' and I get that I'm exposing myself to all kinds of .. name calling ... for using that word.
Anyway - enough on that - just that I'm willing to bet, though I can speak for no one but myself - that those of us who are very anti-Cruz and not just pro-Trump, combine the type of things I listed - which as you say aren't definitive proof of anything necessarily - we add that with what our bodies and instincts and raw experience of watching him ... and we say .something very very wrong here - even if it's just a 1 in 3 chance there is something very very wrong ... we're not convicting him of a crime - merely saying 'no, not that one, that's a serious risk'
Lastly, I say all that while noting that in many ways Trump is a mess - but ... his messiness is the type that comes with a serious do-er rather than perfect thinker.
Good yak - thanks for it - happy travels ... and as they say 'I wish your candidate well, but not success' :-) Pardon edit problems above, it's my bedtime and won't be re-reading which normally I do at least once ...
