Well lets try and remember that David Limbaugh and Rush Limbaugh are both establishment conservatives.

Next lets realize that the campaign Ted Cruz is running is that of a weak candidate who a majority of republican voters reject. On April 26th Cruz hits the mathematical wall and he well knows it. His is a campaign of desperation fueled by naked ambition. There is no dirty trick he will not stoop to in an effort to obtain the GOP nomination no matter the futility of it.

In the coming weeks Donald Trump is going to sweep the NE state primaries including PA and maybe even Indiana. He is and will continue to be the presumptive nominee. Ted Cruz will be pressured to drop out soon and he knows it. He just isn’t going to accept it well.

the most monsterous explosion of cry baby whinging and tantruming from Team Trump

It would make the Sarah's-not-running meltdown of 2012 look like a stick of cold butter, slowly softening on the kitchen counter.....in January.

... “Trump favoring media”? What’s he smoking?

The short list: Rush, Hannity, BOR, Greta, Eric Bolling, Laura Ingraham, Trumpbart, drudge, gateway pundit, and the blog run by sundance, and other blogs so inconsequential I don’t remember their names - marshall report. Off the top of my head.

... Not counting the Peoples’ votes is criminal.

And the statue number? David is pretty clear if you bother to read. The state parties make the rules, the rules are know before the process starts, and the rules are not changed because someone does not like them after the fact.

If I’m clueless then the Cruz supporters are brain dead.

You need to change your name to, nah, it’s none of my business what your name is. None of yours what my name is.

Limbaugh is a Cruz stooge, and he’s not too bright either.

We will have to start looking for alternatives to the ballot box.

Can you think of any?

No Limbaugh likes his show and income.

Can you say fairness doctrine maybe?

it should never have meant anything...when sporting events are held, do we insist that one team need win the contest by a certain amount of points, or do we take even the smallest advantage, and determine the winner...in fact, do we do this in any competition other than corrupt political battles...?

We Americans prefer to hand leadership to someone acceptable to a majority of our fellow citizens.

I don't look forward to being ruled by a 22% faction in a 5 guy race. According to your "rules."

Consent of the governed is a big deal. Without it, there is no hope for legitimacy. That is why many states have runoff elections when there is no 50%+1 majority winner. You want legitimacy and in a democratic republic, that is by majority rule.

Cruz crossed the line and couldn’t hide his unprincipled ambition when he joined the crowd and blamed Donald Trump’s rhetoric for the violence in Chicago. He had an opportunity to stand on principle but he chose to kick Trump in the shims instead. No principled conservative would parrot the Left’s mantra against a Republican.

This is true. Ted Cruz is a member of that most odious club, the career hack politician. He has quickly jumped from consummate outsider to cloaking himself in the entire staff of Jeb Bush and his ex criminal brother Neil. At this point Cruz does not even try to hide his duplicitous nature or the dirty desperate operation he is running to stay in contention. It will be over soon.

Cruz’s true colors were also revealed when he began campaigning as the only alternative to Donald Trump. That showed he was courting the establishment vote as opposed to the outsider Ted.

There’s only one candidate who has remained true to his original tack and ‘Make America Great Again’ is his campaign slogan. He has risen in the face of tremendous opposition from all the right people. The Republican voter has indicated repeatedly their preference for this man while the establishment types have sought to deny him the nomination at all costs.

Go Donald!!!

If Trump does not garner the magic 1237, then he is toast. There is no way he can win on a subsequent ballot, and he only has himself to blame. Cruz has been studying the system and laying down the groundwork for a year now, while Trump has been playing 'celebrity'.

Cruz has been fighting for delegates who are truly loyal to him while Trump has been AWOL, leaving his delegate selections to the local GOPe. I would be shocked if Trump cleared 600 votes on a second ballot.

You are just as clueless as Trump when it comes to delegate selection.

I’ll sit it out with you. Or vote democrat.

Spoken like a true Trump supporter. You can take the man out of the Party, but you can't take the Party out of the man.

Amazing what a flight in Trump’s plane and a night at Mar a Lago might do for a delegate's attitude.

So Trump is into bribery. Makes sense.

So you named a few celebrities one mostly one network. How about the rest of the celebs on that network, the rest of media, including “conservative think tanks and journals that dedicate entire issues of why not to vote for him, let alone liberal media like NY Times and the major networks.
