On Saturday, to blunt his pending loss in Wyoming, Donald Trump went on Fox and Friends to complain about Wyoming’s convention. He cast aspersions on Republican activists in the state, saying they could be bought. If they could be bought, the price was pretty low. Federal Election Commission data shows that up to February 29, 2016, Ted Cruz has reported spending less than $2,200 in the state.
Because election spending is regulated by the federal government, exactly how much Cruz spent, “months before” the Wyoming Convention, is known. The precinct caucuses in Wyoming were held between February 16 and March 1. Federal Election Commission data covers basically the entire caucus process and reveals that the Cruz campaign spent $2,127 between the start of the campaign and the end of February.
Obviously, Republicans are so gullible that they let Trump,a Democrat, run as a Republican. Then Hillary will win. Wonder what kind of great deal Trump made with her for his help.
Not since Cruz has gone to bed with them...They smile and use him for what they want...If he wins, he’s owned by them...If Hillary wins, they STILL keep their cushy elite lifestyle paid for by me and YOU!!!!!!!!
And you can believe Cruz’s reported expenses just like he reported Goldman Sachs and Citibank loans. He won’t cooperate with FEC on that little matter.
LOL...That is such an asinine comment, it doesn’t deserve any kind of rebuttal....
geez when did democrats start supporting a wall, rebuilding our military, repealing obamacare etc.. etc..
Well, which is it? Yesterday the establishment hated Cruz and now they love him. Or are you just saying that because Cruz has won the last 7 or 8 states?
“Cruz will be mathmatically out soon”
You keep promoting that lie.
Nobody is “out” until someone earns 1,237 delegates.
Trump intentionally lying on national television to perpetuate the lies that Cruz is spending millions to buy off delegates, the election is rigged and he's being cheated, does not matter? His acolytes believe everything they're told. Trump's character, or lack thereof, hits a new low and the crowd cheers.
And you are so gullible that you think Trump is a Republican!
Conservative Review = Mark Levin = #NeverTrump = Crazed ranting and raving. I don’t wish to pollute my Mac’s memory with CR dreck.
You really don't get it. Even if Trump comes up a little short, the leadership will steer enough unbound delegates his direction in the first ballot for him to win. The more he needs the more concessions they will be able to get form him. Only the losers want a "contested convention". It is a recipe for disaster.
At this point Cruz is nothing but a tool for leadership to get the concessions they want from Trump. Cruz's entire team has been infiltrated by insiders. He has no control over them and at this point the spin he has been putting on these latest “voterless landslides” make him look even sleazier than he actually is. Cruz is history; he has disgraced himself and will not even get a second term in the Senate let alone the presidency.
Sure dream on...tonight in Buffalo 20,000 watched Trump and around 5,000 waiting outside. Sounds like a SHAM to me. Trump is in it to WIN and be our next President.
Cruz may have spent millions but the GOPe PACS spent much MORE than Cruz on his behalf so let’s be honest about it!!! Cruz and GOPe PACS are one in the same!!!!
What she said.
Theo, there are enough unbound delegates controlled by the party leadership that Trump does not need to get 1237. But there are not enough of them for the leadership to get Cruz to 1237 in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th or any other vote. Cruz has no realistic chance of getting this nomination.
Well, then Trump should have no trouble getting to 1,237 on the first ballot.
This really is simple, all Trump has to do is get 1237 and it’s settled. Who knows maybe the 60+% who have been voting against Trump will fall for his constant whining and come to support him, nothing in America would surprise me anymore.
No, Trump is not a republican...He is not a democrat...he is not a liberal or a conservative...Trump is first and foremost a successful businessman...
Trump knows the direction this country is and has been going for the last 25 years under the misdirection of “professional politicians”...His businesses sill go right alongside the country...In order to protect his businesses, the country needs brought back off it’s ass...
He knows this elite bunch of “professional Politicians” from BOTH parties won’t do a damn thing but just cruise along with their cushy lifestyles and monies taken from me and YOU...
You need to open your eyes and realize this is NO political campaign...It’s a campaign to save what we have and rebuild it...
Do you honestly think the UNIPARTY elites give a damn about me or YOU??? If you do, then you are the most gullible person in here....
Go back and re-read...Try and comprehend this time.....
So how much did the GOPe spend helping him buy the win?
