Donald Trump’s Delegate Manager Begins Employing Same Tactics He Used for Ronald Reagan in 1980
Breitbart News ^ | 11 Apr 2016 | MATTHEW BOYLE

Posted on 04/11/2016 6:17:26 PM PDT by LibFreeUSA

While the tactics of chief Donald Trump rival Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97% to win delegates without voters come under intense scrutiny, a quiet, thus-far-little-focused-on development has occurred that could provide a ray of hope for the Trump team fighting political insiders on their home turf. Paul Manafort, Trump’s new Republican National Convention manager, just delivered not only a big win in Michigan’s delegate game: He undercut Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) by throwing a separate victory to Ohio Gov. John Kasich. CNN reported on Saturday evening: Ted Cruz suffered a rare convention loss Saturday after delegates backing John Kasich and Donald Trump boxed him out of key positions in the Michigan delegation. The Texas senator’s campaign ran eight delegates for eight committee spots and lost every one, alleging it was ‘double-crossed’ by Kasich supporters. The Michigan delegation picked one Trump supporter, Matt Hall, and one Kasich supporter, Judi Schwalbach, for the two seats on the powerful rules committee. The Cruz campaign lost votes for both seats. CNN’s Tom LoBianco added in his report that this loss is a major defeat for Cruz—and win for Trump—because seats on the convention’s rules committed are “highly coveted prizes for their role in shaping a contested convention in Cleveland.”

>>>On the bright side Trust Fund Trump did not burn up all daddy’s money<<<

Well, he didn’t burn up ANY of his Father’s Money. He took a Million Dollar Loan, created his own Successful Company and Employs 22,000 People.

Oh yeah, he also paid back the LOAN from his Father with Interest.

Most “Trust Fund” babies live off the money and accomplish nothing. You know, like sitting in front of a Computer insulting people on the Internet who happen to disagree with them.

You sound like a Democrat, the same thing you accuse Trump of being. I’m not even a Trumpster, but you’re being silly.

Lol. You sound bitter and tense.

Hahahahahaaaa!

Poor Teddy Bares. It is plain to see who is posting the trite puerile Teddy Bare lines. Teddy is a LOSER. Good luck finding a real conservative... because Teddy is just an empty suit! Teddy Bare is just another slimy lyin' lawyer!

If Cruz starts whining

I've not heard a reptile whine. Cruz will hiss.

Its ok, all will be well. You can calm down now. Even if Donald loses at the convention, we have a great guy Cruz. You’ll like him. We’ll make America great again with Cruz.

“He [Manafort] worked for both Bushes, hence he is a GOPe cheater. Hey, I am just following Trumpette logic- which happens to change based on who is losing.”

I get it, you Cruz supporters fear Manafort and are trying to come up with any argument at all to discredit him.

Whatever you come up with, it’s a distraction that can be refuted easily. If Manafort is good enough for Ronald Reagan, having him work for Trump is great.

That’s rich, but thanks for playing.

>>>You know, like sitting in front of a Computer insulting people on the Internet who happen to disagree with them<<<

General comment. Notice that it isn’t directed to anyone in particular. If anyone identifies with it, well...

>>>You sound like a Democrat, the same thing you accuse Trump of being. I’m not even a Trumpster, but you’re being silly<<<

Democrats are envious. The comment sounded like something an envious person would say “trust fund Trump”. The comment I responded to sounded to me like something a typical Democrat would say. Is being called out for sounding like a Democrat a derogatory term? Well, maybe here. LOL

“you’re being silly”, yep I’ll own up to that one.

any argument at all to discredit him.

Just following along the line of arguments from Trump supporters regarding Bushes and GOPe. Trumpettes have already discredited him since he worked for both Bushes. He has got to be an insider GOPe cheater.

Awwww.. I'm glad you liked it. Looking in the mirror is not so much fun.

Trust fund trump does not equate envy. Maybe in your mind. It just means he is not as smart as he would like to claim.

A Kasich delegate on the rules committee. Maybe they can push a few Kasich lovers to the platform—where they can puch homo-lesbian rights, abortions, international Mussie love with new behavior guidelines,etc. Cruz supporters will not have to switch parties we will have no choice anyway.
