No he’s busy winning actual elections, not wasting his time playing in rigged games.

Once again Cruz out organizes and out hustles Trump and his apparentlylueless team. Do you really want a Trump nominee who is so incompetent at the details and organizing a campaign?

Cruz has taught the voters their voice and their vote are meaningless. Come November I bet voters have learned that lesson well. I know I have.

Obligatory “he must have been cheating” to actually motivate his supporters to attend the various levels of conventions and get them to vote for national delegates that favor him.

Cruz already won Maine over a month ago. He can’t win it twice. Trump has his big day Tuesday and sweep of the NE states.

Yep. A year ago Cruz was universally popular on FR. Somehow he’s managed to alienate everyone but the die hard cultists.

The delusional line is: He’s too busy winning votes...

So by that, is Trump going to show up at the big convention or try the Bush strategy of losing the primary to win the general?

Maine was a caucus, not a primary election. He’s won TX, OK, ID and WI that I know of. What others?

Count me among them and I left him after the Chicago sell out. Kept waiting for a return to sanity but he kept doubling down on alienating potential supporters.

“Trump does best where Dems and Indies determine the winner. Says something about Donny.”

Since Dems outnumber Reps, and Indys outnumber either, it certainly does say something about Trump. He can beat Hillary.

The ONLY state in which Trump got a majority of Republican votes was New York. And in New York, the difference between Democrat and Republican is like the difference between Communist and Democratic Socialist. Conservatives in New York belong to the Conservative Party, and could not vote in the primary.

It’s not that Cruz actually cheats to get these delegates, it’s his partnership with the GOP to stop Trump. Most these delegates are loyal party members so they go with their bosses.

It’s just so sad that Cruz who was supposedly against the establishment is now their biggest tool to block voters.

It was rigged whether Trump showed or not for establishment sell out lying Ted Cruz. Another battle to lose the war.. Voters will reject him in even greater numbers now. Will he go into Cleveland with half the necessary delegates? What a joke!

In how many states did Trump win a majority of Republicans?

One. New York.

But really zero because in New York Republicans are not really Republicans.

Do you really want a President who wins by cheating the people?
