Does Donald Trump think he's going to lose the nomination at the convention? Are his current complaints about RNC "dirty tricks," the system being "rigged," etc. a preview of the explanation he'll be offering when he does indeed lose? Yes, and yes, if you buy what former senior Cruz aide Rick Tyler said on today's Morning Joe.
After the show rolled video of Trump's attacks on the RNC, Joe Scarborough said that the Donald had hit the "sweet spot." Scarborough again made the case for Trump, saying "no, that's the speech of somebody that can win 49 states and would be enraged he lost the 50th." But Tyler pushed back, saying "that's not the speech of a winner. That's the speech of someone who believes he's losing . . . He actually believes now he's going to lose this nomination at the convention on the second ballot."

how the hell does a “former CRUZ aide” know what Trump believes?
There is only one conservative in the Republican race left. That is Ted Cruz. The rest are not.
If Cruz is true the way I believe he is, he will stand with Trump before before he lets the GOP steal nomination away from Trump.
I admire an optimist. :-)
Trump is nor whining, he is exposing the RNC for what it is, corrupt as hell. If Levin is so damn dense to not understand that the DNC and the entire RNC are private companies and have been corrupt for many years, then Levin is an ars.
And like you point out, where is the freaking Consular Report of Birth Abroad?
[quote]
<><> If Cruz/s parents declared US citizenship for him in Canada, then he has a Canadian-issued document called a Consular Report of Birth Abroad.....the legal equivalent of a US Birth Certificate.
<><> Cruz either has one from the time of his Canadian birth or he does not. If he does not, then he is NOT a US Citizen.... (he was never naturalized by his own admission).
More importantly, Canada at the time of Cruz/s birth did not recognize dual nationality. So it appears Harvard-educated Cruz schemed to dupe Texas voters by the charade of renouncing his Canadian citizenship that never was when the Dallas Morning News exposed him.

[I’ll go on with post to ‘all’.]
Cruz followers stubbornly cleave to judges as their sacred oracles regarding constitutional interpretation. If a judge said that Cruz is eligible because he is named after a stuffed animal, they would nod their heads in agreement.
They also hold dear another sacred rite — the divine sarcifice of Trump delegates to appease their god.
For Trump is the evil White Whale, and we all know who Captain Ahab is.
Opposition to these sacred rites merits contempt and even ridicule.
If one dares object to unconstitutional court decisions? One must be insane.
If one protests delegate raids? One is childish.
There is no reasoning with them. God knows I tried. Since unity is now impossible, there is only one recourse — ‘out’ Cruz in every way.
By some definitions Winston Churchill was eligible.
Can you believe that????
Churchill was a die-hard Brit nationalist. He sent agents to the US to blackmail pacifist politicians.
Besides, the original intent of natural born status [its primary aim to prevent men such as Churchill from becoming president] was never redefined by a single constitutional amendment.
So come this Convention, McStain and Mc-Conman [already on record] can quote Professor Tribe and pull the rug right from under Cruz over eligibility if they need to.
Hmmm. Seems it is Cruz overwhelmed with hate. Trump does some great positive rallies and Cruz goes to anyone who will listen trashing Trump as a union thug or mafia!

Yeah, they already walked that back. Everyone on the right needs to understand, the gop intends to shut out trump and cruz, no matter the cost.
The man is a habitual liar. As for problem solving, he can’t even run a professional campaign.
That’s Trump BS to try to garner votes. It’s sneaky and shameful.
So you seriously believe that the GOPe will nominate Cruz once Trump is disposed of?
Not very bright, are ya?
The liars are both Cruz males. These two are so whacked out in their charismatic tongue speaking they lie on everything from what the old man did in Cuba to changing the story/facts depending on who they talk to. Cruz has never met a payroll. He is a total ass.
Obviously brighter than you. I can at least think critically.
Not if you are suffering under the delusion that the GOPe would nominate Cruz under any circumstances.
The only whacked out person I see in your post is the poster. Where do you come up with such bologna? Your post exemplifies why we can’t be a democracy. Those lacking critical thinking skills that vote.
Do I think Cruz is the perfect candidate? No. But he is far preferable to anyone else running in either party. He is of higher intelligence and will listen to the experts using his own intelligence to analyze the proper course to take in a crisis. He is stable and won’t go off half-cocked at the least insult. He understands the problems Americans face and will try to alleviate what he can. He will make mistakes as they all do, but he can be trusted with the key codes/red button at least.
