I tried to add you to the post begging you to stop with the stupid pictures. Sorry, I couldn’t spell your name.

you might be able to accept that in Cruz we can get a really principled candidate

Sealed his own records.

Trump is running his campaign like he is a ringmaster at a WWE event.

I don’t see the issue as being the GOPe is not playing by the rules. I see the issue as the GOPe has stacked the rules heavily in their own favor. Let us concede that the GOP is a private entity and that its “owners” are the GOPe. I’m not sure most GOP voters see it that way (many I’m sure see us as stockholders, rather than mere purchasers of the GOP brand), and may be a little shocked to realize it is actually no as they thought.

Furthermore, if we concede the GOP is a private entity not owned by the voters, then the goal of the GOPe (the owners) is to convince we the voters that they have our interests at heart. They fail miserably at this. And using well established rules to nullify the popular vote isn’t necessarily wrong in a legal sense, but it sure does not engender voter allegiance. They are like used-car salesmen intent on getting your money and giving you a lemon.

I for one will walk off the car lot, if the GOPe hucksters do a bait and switch on the 2016 model.

It’s funny, I saw the title of this article and my first thought was, I bet 2ndDivisionVet posted this...and I was right.

:-) Yeah, I guess I shouldn’t have used the “nearly” qualifier. Especially since so far, not a single Trumpster has even come up with a feeble attempt at refuting the argument.

Even Rush slipped up today. He said that Cruz is an insider, so Cruz knew how to play the game in Colorado, for example.

The Grand Ole Party is again hoodwinking the people.

Of course, Cruz has the same mission that Bush, Rubio, et al, had and failed to deliver on -- stop Trump. If Cruz does that, he will be sidelined on the 2nd ballot, just like the gang of 8 Schumer and McCain sidelined Rubio while they took the bows for the Senate passing comprehensive immigration.

The party establishment have no intention of letting a partial-first-term Senator become the party standard-bearer.

I am a Trump supporter, as you can see from my post history, but I will agree that Trumps team had not served him well in groundwork. Where is the advanced team in each state, prepping for primaries, working the officials and state rules and building relationships with delegates?

Don't you mean, the 'nearly unassailable argument'? You cucks are becoming parodies of yourselves:

Another thing was just posted on Facebook.

The Donald J. Trump Foundation was the recipient of the funds raised for veterans (because Donald is afraid of Megyn) and the majority of those funds have yet to go to the vets.

The Foundation is making excuses.

Typical Donald. He loves to lend his name to various deals and businesses and then he takes no further interest.

This is why he got in trouble over his products made overseas and his fake University.

It would be the same thing with a presidency. He would name the White House for himself and then lose interest.

Over 1,300,000 voters in Florida voted against Trump. But “Those voters were DISENFRANCHISED!!!!! Trump STOLE all 99 delegates!!!!!” Said no Trump supporter ever.

Cruz should just offer that they split up all of the votes proportionately based on vote counts in each state as Trump says he wants. That would take 150 delegates away from Trump.

I started in one place and ended in another on the subject of natural born citizen also. That took about a year and a lot of reading. The trouble with Obama is not do much where he was born, but that his soul has never been American.

Talk about the Dem Super-delegates and the GOP and their sycophants are pointing fingers at how The Screech gets more delegates by losing than Freebie gets by winning.

Talk about the GOP Super-delegates and the GOP goes into a rage that there is no such thing as GOP super-delegates, yada yada yada.

So, then, why is the GOP delegate system so complicated in so many states and why are the delegates just not all determined by the primary votes?
