Apparently, Trump thought all he had to do is call people names, retweet lame memes and issue veiled threats to be the nominee.
It’s neither the fault of Cruz nor the GOP that that’s not the case.
Speaking of calling names, you should not say "Trump." It's not sufficiently respectful. Please call him "Mr. Trump."
Why? Because Gov. Chris Christie calls him Mr. Trump. And if a powerful governor does so, then you and I should do the same.
