Your willful ignorance of the subject at hand is more obnoxious than I could ever be.
************************
"Willful" ignorance? I'm not so sure.
If you consider what Brad Dayspring and Mitch McConnel did to Chris McDaniel in Mississippi normal campaigning then you might be correct.
Do you approve those types of tactics?
Yep! They will go after Cruz with all they got. Trump is a wildcard, but Cruz is the man they most despise and fear. Trump is unknown and untested, but with Cruz they know exactly what they will get and they fear that the most. I've been bracing for it sometime and I'm pretty sure Cruz is ready for the Palin treatment as well.
But that is all besides the point concerning my comments on Trump's reactive threats to go third party.
Funy. That’s what tipped me over from ‘being amused’ to being a loyal supporter...
The more the GOPe go after him, the deeper intrenched I become.
You are so naive.
This is an opening move.
Trump's re-negotiating.
He's going to do this kind of stuff with Iran too, and dozens of other countries, so best get up to speed or you're going to be going down the wrong road time after time.
There will be years and years of this.
Thank you very much.
*sundance posted up at theconservativetreehouse a piece to remind us of the success of this GOP strategery.
It’s called “Remember Mississippi”! And, it worked like a charm. Why not a repeat, the GOP figures.
Haley Barbour and the boys enlisted false and scary propaganda, and black radio and mailers, posters and rumors and were able to bring out the black neighborhoods to cross over and vote against the conservative Tea Party candidate, in order to prop up that 80 year old mule for the Establishment, Thad Cochran.
Worked like a charm.
Now comes this LLS business, in a national election.
He does not deserve it here and the only ones who would think he does are GOP shills.
Do you fit that description?
Do you fit the description of a Trumpbot in the same manner as an Obamabot? I asked a question earlier, one you chose to ignore, when is it okay and who is it okay for to come after Trump? Check my history i’ve supported Cruz and Trump from day 1...you have anymore BS you want to throw my way?
Trump signed a pledge to support the eventual nominee and, supposedly, the other candidates did as well.
Part of that agreement was the republican party pledging financing in the general election.
Trump has every right to expect the party to support him, the front runner, and every right to expect the republican party to insist that the other campaigns do not gang up on one candidate.
Like I said, if this gang type campaigning succeeds, Cruz will find himself the next target.
It was a sham them and it is a sham now.
Handwriting, Wall.
It’s really a “Shamwow”
<< He may have absolutely no intention of a third-party run under whatever circumstances (who knows?), but he does know you can sometimes keep people who are playing dirty in line through the fear of retaliation and uncertainty. >>
He said in a speech last week that he has ads already done and ready to go if he needs them. Then he leaned into the mic and lowered his voice and said, “And they are vicious. Vicious.” He was almost whispering at the end, and I got the impression it was a shot across the bow to the GOPe.
Bring it, Donald! Thank you for not playing croquet and sipping tea when it comes to “having the correct tone.” Screw tone. Keep fighting for us and we’ll have your 6!!!
I stand by what I posted.
You asked when it is okay to criticize Trump.
I responded that it is okay when he deserves it.
He does not deserve it in this case.
I also said that only a GOP shill would think he deserves criticism in this case.
You responded by calling me a Trumpbot similar to an Obamabot.
Now, I ask you again. Are you a GOP shill? Because only a GOP shill would think that Trump deserves criticism for taking offense to “SEVERAL CANDIDATES PACS ganging up on one candidate.
I don’t think they will have any success at this but if they did, Cruz would be the next one on their list.
This is not about just Trump. It is about the GOPE driving out the leader of the primary because THEY don’t like him. They obviously don’t give a damn what the voters want.
They all signed it.
“Where is that WSJ report, and what does it say, exactly?”

Shucks. You seem to be doing a good job with that. Since you do not like Trump, which candidate do you support
"I [name] affirm that if I do not win the 2016 Republican nomination for president of the United States I will endorse the 2016 Republican presidential nominee regardless of who it is. I further pledge that I will not seek to run as an independent or write-in candidate nor will I seek or accept the nomination for president of any other party."
At the first GOP presidential debate, Trump was the only guy who raised his hand when the group was asked, "Is there anybody here who wouldn't sign a loyalty pledge?"
Cruz was ABSENT from that first debate.
I agree that the consultants are GOPE. What I am trying to distinguish between is the Republican Party apparatus itself (with which Trump signed the deal) and political consultants who lean moderate/left and don’t like Trump but are not serving as part of the Republican party apparatus. If they are not part of the party then they have as much right to make attacks as anyone else and Trump should blast them back but he should not hold the party responsible for their actions. If on the other hand, the party is financing this itself then I owe Trump an apology and his protest is justified

Give me a break...the Republican Party is behind taking Trump down.
What contract? What negotiating? As far as I can find, the GOP didn't agree to a thing. When Trump signed it, there was ZIP in that contract stating that it would be invalid IF "unfairness" took place, and it further had ZIP specific definition of "unfair."
In business, only a total fool would sign such a fuzzy one-way contract unless he knew FULL WELL that it was an unbinding sham predicated on "implied" conditions. It was a publicity stunt and Trump is milking it. Just because the GOP is rotten to the core -- and SURELY Trump knew that as well as we know it here -- doesn't mean Trump didn't knowingly participate in a sham.
The whole thing is just that much more handwriting on the wall as to what Trump is. That he signed it at all should have made Trump drop a notch in everyone's estimation.
