Should Trump and Cruz unite with we the people against the establishment uni-party?

[sarasmom]

That combination wont work here in the deep South or the Eastern states.

Trump/Hunter might work very well, nationwide.
IMHO

[TheShaz]

WOW! Ways to get people in a frenzy. And foaming at the mouth.

 

Way #1354 - Suggest to both Trump & Cruz supporters that burying the hatchet and teaming up might be the ONLY way to prevent the GOPe from eliminating BOTH of them at the convention.

 

 

I understand that the supporters of each candidate still thinks their guy can still win on their own. But as of last night I think Ted's chances of doing just that have been mathmatically eliminated and Trump's chances of getting to 1237 delegates needed to eliminate or at least diminish GOPe shinanigans in Clevelend.

You also have to take into consideration that Trump is the only GOP Candidate with over 8 states with the majority of the delegates, this being one of those arcane rules for eligibility.

I'm not bashing Ted Cruz, to me the name calling is just a part of politics and its not new if you studied a little history. If anything Cruz has run a textbook campaign, he dominated most of the caucus states due to his ground game. He won his home state and its neighbor to the north.

Bottom line, if the GOPe can do ANYTHING to prevent Trump or Cruz to get to 1237, they wil do it. 

Kasich has won his home state, well done, but he has dont jack outside of that. Rubio who just dropped out has more delegates.

This is a two man race, but with only one of the having any real chance at this point.

 

TRUMP SUPPORTERS / CRUZ SUPPORTERS

BURY THE HATCHET, OR WATCH THE GOPe BURY THE HATCHET IN OUR BACKS

I would like to see Trump offer the VP slot after his spends a few thousands of dollars on lawyers to defuse the Canadian thing. (Hey, its politics and you damn well know Hillary would have used it)

Or

Offer to nominate him to the SCOTUS - to me this is a WIN-WIN. We need a constitutionist on the bench, and here is the kicker, I bet the GOPe in the Senate would fall over themselves to vote for him, just to get him out of the US Senate.

 

Now, we can sit here in this forum and play "What if.." We do not know what Trump and Cruz are going to do. but we DO know what the GOPe is going to try to do. I hope they can stop them.

 

And finally......look at the list of Delagates and states won.....LOOK AT IT! The voters have spoken and the top two guys are the GOPe's worst nightmare.

Trump’s past positions are for AWB and socialized medicine and his current position is government-paid health coverage doled out like food stamps for everybody who “needs” it.

No President should “rebuild the private sector.” That’s liberal Keynesian theory, stimulus packages, which Obama and the Democrats love...and also Trump!

CAVUTO: Are you for this Obama stimulus that was signed into law today?

TRUMP: Well, something had to be done. And whether it’s perfect or not, nothing is perfect. And it’s a whole trial-and-error thing, Neil.

...

TRUMP: Neil, when you look at the banks, had trillions of dollars not been poured into the banks, you would have an insolvent banking system, and then you would absolutely have 1929. They did the right thing.

Allen B West's comments

[Guenevere]

Thanks so much!!
,,Yes he will!!

[Albion Wilde]

Although Reagan did not die after John Hinckley, he was less effective after the assassination attempt

You are misremembering. The assassination attempt was a couple of months into Reagan's first term.

[Guenevere]

I highly doubt it...

...more likely.....disinformation

[Albion Wilde]

Not sure who is Trumps best pick is... Another outsider maybe to kill the establishment... I’m talking another non politician.....Shame Petraeus has girl baggage

I thought the same about Petraeus, but it would never fly now. Perhaps he could be rehabiltated into the DoD somehow. But I had a fleeting thought about Herman Cain. He brings business experience, has been a strong Trump supporter, and also brings the "outsider" and "ethnic" pieces, to counter the identity politics crap from Hillary or Bernie.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

I am sick of your scummy lies. Is Ted Cruz campaigning on getting rid of Medicaid? Because if he is, he damn well better announce it soon. If he isn’t, stop holding other candidates to a standard that yours won’t ever even come close to living up to.

THIS IS TRUMP’S HEALTH CARE PLAN:

https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions/healthcare-reform

It is a ground-breaking reform plan that actually could solve not just the problems introduced by Obamacare, but the problems that have been going on in health care/health insurance for the past 30 years.

There are ideas in that plan that have never been put forth by any other candidate and will move this nation sharply toward a true free market in heath care.

No more lies from you. Everyone is sick of it. And while you’re at it, how about giving us Ted’s health care plan. Oh, he doesn’t have one? We don’t need a ‘plan’, because his supposed ideology will solve everything? Bull feathers. Enough of your lies and excuses.

[Albion Wilde]

You don’t have to have already been a judge to be appointed to the Supreme Court. You don’t even have to be a lawyer, other than that has been the tradition.

[Jim Robinson]

Thanks, Amy!

Bottom line of Col West's remarks:

Let’s be honest, there are only two folks in the race on the GOP side: Trump and Cruz. But here’s my warning, and I don’t want to hear any of this crap about I will not vote if it’s not my guy. This started with 17 and now we are truly down to two.

My challenge to y’all is, are you in this for a person, or for our Republic, our nation, America? The one option that is unacceptable is a Hillary Clinton presidency for the United States from any perspective. This is the cycle of the “outsider” on the GOP side. That’s why I find it just so humorous that the GOP elites may have to swallow a pill and support the fella who’s the most hated guy in Washington D.C.

Boy howdy, gotta tell ya something…John Kasich is getting lots of calls right now, but they are not congratulatory. They are calls demanding he drops out. And unlike Marco Rubio, he can do so without embarrassment. But John Kasich possesses delusions of grandeur of being on stage in Cleveland, Ohio at the RNC convention in July and accepting the GOP nomination for president.

I can just hear ol’ Buck West saying, “Allen, that fella done drank his own tub water”…

[FR_addict]

So is Cruz going to release his sealed records? I want to see his CRBA and his passport before there is any talk of a Trump / Cruz ticket.

[fooman]

This stuff is just campaign punching.

[TheConservativeBanker]

I absolutely know what a contested convention is. If Cruz thinks that he will be able to win in a convention in which no candidates have a majority of delegates, he is probably wrong and underestimates the party machinery. A brokered convention will be the result. In this case contested will equal brokered.

[Robert DeLong]

the arguments against him would be in the hypothetical.

Arguments for and against could be considered as hypothetical I suppose, at least until a ruling is given. If the issue were raised by someone with standing, arguments for and against would be heard and a ruling would be handed down. The loser could always take it to the next higher court, until the court of last appeal, the Supreme Court gives the final ruling. If the Supreme Court refused to hear the case then the lower court ruling would stand.

[Albion Wilde]

More likely the person bringing the case to court was found to not have standing, which is not winning. Hillary would have standing.

This is one of the several cases that was dismissed on a techicality:
Judge dismisses attempt to kick Ted Cruz off New York ballot

This case in PA was actually decided on Constitutional issues but it is still only in one state; parties with standing such as Clinton could indeed bring the matter before a Federal Court or to Congress:
Pennsylvania Judge Rules Cruz Eligible to Run for President

[JediJones]

LOL, keep smoking the good stuff.

[Robert DeLong]

Yep one of my later replies, after looking them up, goes into all that. Still not a settled issue by any way shape of form though. I was unaware though that a Pa. judge, who happens to be a Democrat BTW, ruled that he is a natural born citizen. Most likely deferring it to a higher court for later ruling when it becomes more crucial. Though if a higher court refuses to hear it, unlikely though if that person is the Democrat nominee, than the lower court ruling would stand. If they did agree to hear it, the loser could take it all the way to the Supreme Court, where a final ruling is given.

[DH]

that just gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling......

[Catsrus]

SOrry, I detest Mr.Boogers. (Cruz).
