The primary rules in both parties are certainly odd and not in the interests of the voters, but the rules are also written down and publicly available. Failing to play by the known rules is a mistake, like getting into a poker game and not bluffing or a baseball game and not stealing bases. It’s time for Team Trump to move on and win under the rules they are facing.
Who benefits from the Trump-Cruz wars, of which many responses to this post are a part? Hillary, Bernie, Jeb, Rubio, Kasich, and others who consistently support Amnesty, who consistently support Obamacare, and who consistently support restrictions on our individual, God-given right to keep and bear arms. Decent Americans are better off with a real truce, and not just a “I’ll stop when every person who even pretends to support the other side stops” gesture toward a truce that will never happen.
The nonsense is not helping us to elect the best possible conservative in November. I want 99% or more of Cruz supporters to vote Trump, when he is nominated, even if they hold their noses. In the event that Cruz wins the nomination, I want 99% or more of Trump supporters to vote Cruz, even if they hold their noses. Offending the other side does not encourage them to vote Trump (or Cruz) in November. I cannot help wondering how many of those who stir up the Trump-Cruz wars are actually paid trolls taking Jeb/Hillary/Soros money to cause trouble - not all of them but probably enough to set the toxic tone.
I stand by my recurring statement:
Cruz and Trump are both imperfect but they agree far more than 80% of the time (see my tagline from Ronald Reagan). They should be friends and allies, and we should treat both of them as such.
Please stop blowing smoke up our asses and telling us its the rules. When the so-called rules result in the State party officers, donors and party faithful make up the majority of delegates the game is rigged to protect the Establishment not represent the people.
Both Trump and Cruz have managed to piss me off on several occasions, but I will vote either in the general election.
BUT IT HAD BETTER BE ONE OR THE OTHER, hear that gopE?
The rules meme is utter B.S. Tell the Colorado Republican Trump supporters about those on their “rules” high horses how fair the rules were for their efforts to get elected as Trump delegates. They felt the “rules” were so complicated they robbed them of the chance to be Trump delegates. These Trump supporters are furious and are out burning their Republican cards—some on You Tube!

Too late for that.
If Lyin’ Ted is nominee, say hello to Comrade President Hellry and Good-Bye to America, our Constitution and our Judeo-Christian morals and values.
