Trump: 'I'm only interested in the first ballot'
thehill.com ^ | April 24, 2016 | Rebecca Savransky

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump said Sunday he expects to secure the Republican nomination on the first ballot.

"I'm only interested in the first ballot," he said during a rally in Hagerstown, Md.

"I'm not interested in second, third, fourth, nineteenth because I'm really interested in winning it early and that's it."

Trump said he's not "playing games," adding he's going to win in states that other Republicans are not even going to campaign in.

But during the rally, Trump slammed the primary system, calling it unfair. He criticized rival Ted Cruz for "bribing" delegates.

In other words he knows he can’t win if it goes past the first ballot.

They react by winning outright.

Doesn’t mean they like the rules or endorse them.

So this is a Trump only site now?

I guess I missed that.

Interesting. What level of fervor is required? Are disenters only to be silenced or is there a certain number of positive posts that must be made daily.

Yes. In his thread, “President Hillary is totally unacceptable”,

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3424005/posts?q=1&;page=800#800

JR thoroughly explains his reasoning, and WHY he is asking that his site be 100% united behind the front runner.

Sadly, the remainder of your comment continues to confer sarcasm.

We face the fiercest battle for our country’s survival at this time in history. Globalists vs Nationalists. It is my hope that FR readers will choose wisely, for themselves and their heirs.

Thank you.

From what I understand the current GOP rules are considered “fluid”. Or maybe that was just a threat?

Why don’t you quit asking stupid questions, write your opus and go?
Find another site where you and other Cruz supporters can drool
on each other.
I’m certain you would be happier being around like minded people.

The American political party system is rotten to the core and needs to be BURNED TO THE GROUND. Its substance is trickery, deceit, and insider crap that deprives voters of any say in the matter. And keeps power in the hands of the elites.

I think you are confused about who is demanding a dissent free safe place.

Well, I CAN confidently affirm that anyone who doesn’t vote for Ted Cruz hates Jesus and America.

Less than a week ago you were mocking Cruz voters

There are much less people here that share your view.

You don’t bother or concern me because I know you are a Dead
Ender Cruz supporter.

In time, you will come to realize that.

Here’s a few that didn’t get the message, either - some burned in - I was surprised on some - after the first 3 - JimRob made it pretty clear - twice more. The last 36-72 hours is the second part.

fta... “He criticized rival Ted Cruz for “bribing” delegates.”
***********************************
He’s always making accusations, like National Enquirer, but has never provided any proof of them. Why do his supporters believe everything he says?

That said... If he’s the nominee I’ll vote for him to stop the wicked witch.
