“When Cruz embraced the BLM language against Trump in Chicago, I knew who his masters were”

Yes.

Donald J. Trump ​Response to Cruz and Kasich Campaigns

It is sad that two grown politicians have to collude against one person who has only been a politician for ten months in order to try and stop that person from getting the Republican nomination.

Senator Cruz has done very poorly and after his New York performance, which was a total disaster, he is in free fall and as everyone has seen, he does not react well under pressure. Also, approximately 80% of the Republican Party is against him. Governor Kasich, who has only won 1 state out of 41, in other words, he is 1 for 41 and he is not even doing as well as other candidates who could have stubbornly stayed in the race like him but chose not to do so. Marco Rubio, as an example, has more delegates than Kasich and yet suspended his campaign one month ago. Others, likewise, have done much better than Kasich, who would get slaughtered by Hillary Clinton once the negative ads against him begin. 85% of Republican voters are against Kasich.

Collusion is often illegal in many other industries and yet these two Washington insiders have had to revert to collusion in order to stay alive. They are mathematically dead and this act only shows, as puppets of donors and special interests, how truly weak they and their campaigns are. I have brought millions of voters into the Republican primary system and have received many millions of votes more than Cruz or Kasich. Additionally, I am far ahead of both candidates with delegates and would be receiving in excess of 60% of the vote except for the fact that there were so many candidates running against me.

Because of me, everyone now sees that the Republican primary system is totally rigged. When two candidates who have no path to victory get together to stop a candidate who is expanding the party by millions of voters, (all of whom will drop out if I am not in the race) it is yet another example of everything that is wrong in Washington and our political system. This horrible act of desperation, from two campaigns who have totally failed, makes me even more determined, for the good of the Republican Party and our country, to prevail!

If it were a TWO way race, you’d be right...But it’s not...
It seems that from the vote totals, MORE want Trump than the others...

I love the smell of desperation in the morning. What Trump calls “the leftovers” have seen the writing on the wall and are starting to panic. To think, I actually thought that Cruz would win New Mexico and might possibly even eek out a slight win in Oregon. Now, he’s just handed them to Trump on a platter. A solid win in Oregon (where Trump already has a ground game and three offices—soon to be five) will help lead to a win in Washington state the following week, as well as help in northern CA on June 7. Considering the excellent polls in CA for Trump, I think it’s pretty safe to predict a very good end of the primary season for Trump.

Cruz is putting all his eggs in the Indiana basket, but after tomorrow’s Trump blowout win, Cruz won’t even be guaranteed to win that state (the idea that all of Kasich’s supporters are going to someone so very ideologically different from him is sketchy at best—many will, but others will stick with Kasich, stay home, or go with the more-or-less presumptive nominee, Trump). If Cruz doesn’t win it, it’s essentially over for him. But, perhaps more importantly, if you really look at the numbers, Trump will still be in a very good position to get to 1237 on the first ballot, even if Cruz does wrangle an Indiana win from his deal with Kasich.

“I was very simply discussing the election math in response to a specific post. It seems you and a couple others received that discussion as an attack on Trump.”

I think I get it now. You’re whinging about Trump, but not really whinging about Trump. Okey dokey.

Thanks, my Friend.

We will help Trump become our president while exposing the scary dark side of the GOPe and its two losers posing as candidates to get another 8 years of Obama via Clintoon.

No more 8 years of Obama. Just say, Hell no to Clintoon!

Now this is how you cleverly try and not get Zotted, act aloof, above the fray, when all along you’ve been a Cruz sycophant and ABT loons. I count of your irrationality and anger to get yourself banned, probably by days end.

Ha!! McCallum is pissed that Kasick hid this until after the Town Hall yesterday.. Lol. Didn’t anyone even watch??
The narrative is how underhanded this is and how Ted and Kasick have some explaining to do. This will not sell well with voters.. Big-time miscalculation.

Ever notice the only thing saying that is the same polls that are known to have helped pick the weakest GOP opposition with push polls in the past couple decades? Reality is what we can see with our eyes and common sense tells you those polls are insulting your intelligence. From Enthusiasm, turnout demographics etc. The pro democrat push polls stand alone and and are opposite real world results in actual election results that we can see with our own eyes.

Moreover, what the Cruz people allege as Trump’s “conservative” liabilities are assets in the general.

So unless there is something other then obviously push polls to help get the weakest GOP opposition to Hillary- there is no real world evidence that Trump will not be able too beat Hillary like a drum in November.

The math says otherwise. Through the NY primary, a majority of voters wanted "other than Trump."

8,722,467 Trump
6,389,500 Cruz
3,445,578 Rubio
3,178,315 Kasich

13,013,393 Cruz + Rubio + Kasich
09,567,815 Cruz + Kasich

08,722,467 Trump

If Trump is shy of 1327 going in he can get the rest he would need easy from the unbound who are not for Cruz or Kaisch. Fact is the #neverTrump delegates who are loyal to the GOPe not your boy, are likely to get marching orders to vote Trump first vote since Trump has offered to use his resources to help fund down-ticket races.

If Trump is above 1100, its forgone he can get the rest from the unbound. Hes a Billionaire and has Manfort negotiating. By the time the convention rolls around, it will have bled off most of the #neverTrump super pacs and GOPe cash so they will be at the disadvantage.

Faulty math, you assume against real world evidence they will coalesce around Cruz. Real world says the exact opposite. They are rejecting Cruz because hes seen as a liar and a cheat, a GOPe Manchurian candidate faking being a conservative.

Need only look at this site to see how many conservatives who once were for him have rejected Cruz.

Math doesn't make assumptions. Neither did I. Don't mistake me for a Cruz supporter.
