Roger Stone Warns After Wisconsin Loss: Donald Trump’s Campaign Has No Infrastructure in The States
Breitbart.com ^ | 6 Apr 2016 | Breitbart News

Posted on 04/06/2016 7:53:45 AM PDT by Rockitz

Veteran political strategist and informal adviser for GOP frontrunner Donald Trump Roger Stone warns on Breitbart News Daily that the loss in Wisconsin should be a “wakeup call” for the Trump campaign, which he says should invest in campaign infrastructure to sew up the party’s nomination.

“It’s an early wakeup call, as it were, for the Trump campaign,” Stone, who predicted earlier that Trump would lose Wisconsin, tells Stephen K. Bannon.

Trump’s campaign has been fueled, from the beginning, with these hot button issues and an extraordinary communications-based strategy, where you utilize these huge rallies, the incredible media coverage they have generated, plus the high-profile debates, plus — give Trump credit — any interview he could do, as many interviews as he could do to reach as many voters he can reach. And that has worked. Up until now.

“The campaign has no infrastructure in the states,” he continued.

The woman who ran Wisconsin for Trump previously ran Oklahoma for Trump. Trump lost. Prior to that, she had never run any political campaign, so there was no depth of experience. This is something I see again and again, particularly at the ground roots level. Now, I salute these people for their enthusiasm, but this is a science. This is not something we guess about. And now you move to a serious of states like Colorado, Wyoming, and Arizona [which] should be watched very carefully. And those become hand-to-hand combat at state conventions or state committee meetings, where once again the Trump people have built no infrastructure.

Stone added that Trump’s current predicament reminds him of Ronald Reagan’s failed 1976 run.

Stone also said in that interview that Cruz absolutely will not be given the nomination. Goes on to say that Cruz is the most despised man in Washington inspite of him being establishment to the core.

Stone said that?

LOL.

It isn’t bad to run a campaign without having to solicit billions from Super PACs and constantly hounding people for cash.

Except now he isn't getting 90% of all the press coverage, It's easy not to have to spend money when you are getting everything for free.

On April 19th, Ted Cruz will join Kasich, Rubio, Bush, Carson, Fiorina, Huckabee, and Paul who are mathematically eliminated from getting 1237 delegates by the convention.

Then voter nullification of the largest voting block becomes Ted' only route to the nomination.

Voter nullification... Ted Cruz, little man on campus.

Kasich’s delegates aren’t included in the “remaining delegates”, because they’ve already been allocated to Kasich. So yes, that would work.

Trump
Is just reloading. Coming back in a more presidential mode. Something CRUZ can’t match

Just wishing the NE would get on ball. This weeks story was just a rehash of poor Hidey sittin by the side of the road.

Last night Innay have found a link between Girl number three and the New York Madam that took Spitzer down. He was definitely not in compliance of Mann Act. Just like Eliot Spitzer.

Apparently he had a regular HO who accompanied him to Texas on occation They are all eager to “take him down”.
Will see who has the most evidence and gets the job done first.
RNC stringing him along till the time comes.

Trump can beat Hillary Clinton. And in-spite of what the lamestream media keeps saying because they know Trump can beat her, Cruz absolutely can not. He has limited appeal, can not get cross-over voters and millions of Trump voters will stay home, myself included, if this canadian fraud gets the nomination, due to the GOPe and not the American voter.

There was no government shut-down. The GOPe endorses Cruz now because they know if by some miracle he became president nothing changes in DC. Absolutely nothing. Business as usual. Cruz is one of them. They hate Trump because the status quo is over if he wins.

Lmao, going third party won’t kill the 2 party system, it will only guarantee a Dem win.

Also how is having a spouse who is a member of the CFR and supports the CFR report is supporting Conservative values?

Many Christian Conservatives are getting conned by politicians who raise the Bible in one hand and shouts that they are conservative without vetting them under a microscope.

I supported Ted Cruz in the beginning when I saw him on the Senate Floor, infact I emailed him congratulations. When he announced his candidacy for US President. I was happy but then things starting to bother me by the background information on Heidi Cruz which gave me red flags.

I then realized I was punked. Was it all a kabuki theater on the senator floor with Ted - Yes! I vow never to vote for an establishment person and I will stick to that vow.

In order for a republican to be elected president he has to get independents and cross-over democrats. Trump has that ability. Cruz absolutely does not. He also is not capable of winning Ohio or Florida. If the election is rigged for the Cruz, who’s not even eligible to run, get ready to say President Hillary Clinton. NO MORE ESTABLISHMENT TYPES and that’s all in the world Cruz is, a despised establishment type, but nevertheless owned by the Wall St. globalists.

Thanks for the info. Are there any links to these recent stories available yet?

I finally heard (for the first time) Cruz say that he has never cheated on Heidi. Was it to Me*again Kelly? I thought he looked physically sick while getting the words out.

I was taken back that he said what he did, knowing the truth is always found out eventually. He really painted himself in the proverbial corner if there is physical evidence to the contrary.

You are going to get a Dem win anyway, that’s set in stone. Cruz loses very badly, and if they screw Cruz after he’s successfully skewered Trump from behind, then that substitute will also lose badly.

What I hope happens is not that the Democrats lose, because I don’t think it is even possible for them to lose, but that the Republicans lose so badly they finish third or fourth and get trounced elsewhere down the ticket. You have to take out one of the closed system parties at a time. I’d hope the Republicans bite the dust this time...and the Democrats the next.
