During an interview on the FOX Business Network's Mornings with Maria, Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay lashed out against the media for protecting Donald Trump.
"The media won't report what's really happening on the ground... They will not investigate Donald Trump. When have you seen a story written about Donald Trump's sleazy business practices? There's plenty of stories out there about that. The media is protecting Donald Trump either because they want him to be the nominee against Hillary Clinton or they're big buddies of his. Most of the media comes from New York and they are buddies," he said. ..... < snip >
..... DeLay argued that the lack of detail on waste-fraud and abuse, spending and foreign policy was "very embarrassing for Donald Trump in the last Fox News debate and hasn't resonated with his core followers.
"Thirty-five percent are going with Trump... There's 64 percent that aren't going with Trump and the media refuses to speak up and talk to the 65 percent that are not voting for Trump," he said. ..... < snip >
..... So are Republicans handing over the election to Clinton? DeLay says, it's a ploy by Democrats to cover up their flawed candidate.
"Clinton is a flawed candidate, the Democrats are voting in our primaries because they want a flawed candidate to run against — and there is no bigger flawed candidate than Donald Trump. His character, his business practices, he's not a conservative. They would just love to run against Donald Trump because that will cover up the fact that they have a flawed candidate," he said. ..... < snip >

So you think the GOPe actually wants what you want?
Really?
GOPe leaders are saying they’ll take Hillary over Trump.
You honestly think they are on your side?
Think of all the people against Trump. Think of them in terms of whether they generally agree with you or not.
None of the people who always disagree with you, are in this to support Trump.
Think about that.
You must think the GOPe, the RNC, the DNC, the Media, the print media, the television media, the blogosphere, the pundits, the talking heads, and the academia have all suddenly come over to your side.
Is that what you believe?
TRUMP or Bust.
Cruz is exposed as a globalist North American Union man, which explains all of his show boating to nowhere and exactly how his recorded actions have facilitated the globalist cabal.
Cruz has covered it all quite nicely with pony tricks, excuses and more than enough LEGALESE posing as answers.
And he is still not being vetted. Neither has that wife of his. When is that ever going to happen?
If we are into mutually assured destruction, then where is the MUTUAL part and when are we going to see it laid out there?
I would say it’s Cruz alone who is getting all the protection, if we just look at the picture.
Possibly. Trump is underperforming the polling repeatedly, and badly.
Iowa was a 4.7 point win for Trump just days before the vote... and he lost by 3.3 (8 pt drop at the actual vote)
OKL was a 11.4 point win for Trump just days before the vote... and he lost by 6.1 (17.5 pt drop)
SC was a 17.1 point win for Trump just days before the vote... and he won by "only" 9.9 (7.2 pt drop)
Alaska was a 4.1 point win for Trump just days before the vote... and he lost by 2.9 (7 pt drop)
KS was a 6.1 point win for Trump just days before the vote... and he lost by 24.9 (31 pt drop)
Texas was a 9.0 point win for Cruz just days before the vote... and Cruz won by 17.1 (8.1 pt drop)
VA was a 14.5 point win for Trump just days before the vote... and he won by 2.8 (11.7 pt drop)
TN was a 18.0 point win for Trump just days before the vote... and he won by "only" 14.2 (3.8 pt drop)
VT was a 15.0 point win for Trump just days before the vote... and he won by 2.3 (12.7 pt drop)
Caucus states and primaries, before and after candidates drop out, liberal and conservative states, all with one common theme... Trump isn't pulling as many actual votes as poll votes... and the polls have him behind Hillary head-to-head (most recently: Trump down 8 to Hillary, 52-44, Cruz up 1, 49-48 - March 1 CNN poll)
Yes, they are, and that includes Trump.
Add to them all the international usual suspects who also hate Trump.
Gosh, the whole Leftist world just lined up to support you against Trump.
Even Mexico's El Presidente is now on your side, the side of all loyal U. S. Citizens.
Isn't that cool...
“Cruz supporters called ... traitors to their country ... morons and idiots”
I don’t think you’re a traitor.
Point taken! Yes, I saw it too!
All smooches and reverence for Hillary, from Big Bad Baier.
The media does not want to get the shit kicked out of them by Trump.We just need to ask the bleeder about her ratings to find out all we need to know the reason.
It seems so, doesn’t it?
If you haven’t figured that out by know I don’t believe anyone here can help you.
Don't worry they will unload everything they have and even make some up soon.
We love you too bless your heart.
One might be curious why Romney, spokesman for the GOPe, finds Cruz, Rubio, or Kasich acceptable.
One is the Chairman’s statement, talking about the effort.
It should curdle your blood.

Then there’s the document with Heidi Cruz as a signor.
This one is sometimes hard to load. Stick with it. It will download.

Ihave seen a lot of trolls on FR; surely you cannot confuse me with one my posts are usually either factual or "informative" speculation / opinion based on facts that I and/or someone else provide. Would you prefer to find out the facts around these issues AFTER you select the nominee? Republicans have done this time and time again, with the same or "too close" to the same results.
This is not Ted Cruz dot com.
Neither it is Donald Trump dot com... yet, at least. For the record, I am not a Ted Cruz supporter and, to avoid "20 questions" game, neither Rubio's nor Kasich's. I explained very clearly at the end of my original post why it was made and what the options are. I believe we are already well into simultaneous "ignore," "dismiss" and "attack the messenger" stages.
It seems that I read the sources that don't get read or used by a lot of people on FR. "Conservatives" can and do ignore "inconvenient facts" as well as "progressives / socialists" can and do I think it's important to know them and the earlier the better. It seemed important to "vet" Romney in 2012, and we knew a lot more about him and his record and positions (before he became "severe conservative") than most people here know about "reality TV" celebrity Trump.
Here's the latest info on Trump's "Art of the Deals": Trump Tower Funded by Rich Chinese Who Invest Cash for Visas - BL, by Jesse Drucker, 2016 March 06 "They've taken our jobs, they've taken our money, they've taken everything," he said of China in a speech late last month. He has called for a revamping, even a freezing, of the immigration system, but says he would make an exception for the highly skilled. Yet no skills are required of the wealthy Chinese being courted by a Chinese-subtitled video to help finance a huge Trump-branded tower in New Jersey. ..... < snip > ..... The video was produced to help raise tens of millions of dollars through a controversial government program that offers expedited visas to foreign investors overwhelmingly from China. ..... < snip > ..... Trump Bay Street is a 50-story luxury rental apartment building being built by Kushner Companies, whose chief executive officer, Jared Kushner, is married to Trump's daughter Ivanka. ..... < snip > ..... The Jersey City project has raised $50 million, about a quarter of its funding, from loans obtained through EB-5, according to a slide presentation by US Immigration Fund. Mark Giresi, general counsel of US Immigration Fund, said he believed nearly all of the EB-5 investors in the Trump project were from China. ..... < snip > ..... Department of Homeland Security Inspector General found politically connected participants may have received favorable treatment, citing projects involving Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe and Hillary Clinton's brother, Tony Rodham. ..... < snip > ..... Kushner Companies is a New Jersey-based real estate firm built by Kushner's father Charles, a former rainmaker in New Jersey Democratic politics who pleaded guilty to a federal campaign finance violation, filing false tax returns as well as attempts to silence a witness. Charles was sentenced in 2005 to a prison term of two years. He remains active in the company. ..... < snip > Throughout his presidential campaign, Donald Trump has attacked China and warned about the dangers of deficient immigrant screening.
This is just more sleaze dropped the evening before another election, when the candidate has no ability to respond.
It’s shady.
It’s par for the course for propagandists.
What are you doing, bringing the facts to an opinions fight?
Glad to see I am not the only one who noticed the glaring difference between polling numbers and the results. But the casinos bankruptcies and other business failures were "tremendous things" and Trump was "proud of them", so what do I know?
Once he is running against "The Screech" they will bring up the bankruptcies that left the little guy hanging, eminent domain, support for planned parenthood, partial birth abortion, faux marriage, gun control, illegal immigrants...
