Those delegates are vital to Cruz’s quest to deny his rival the 1,237 delegates he’ll need on the first ballot in Cleveland. But as they’ve watched Cruz struggle to tread water in a primary increasingly dominated by Trump, many of them, wary of a bitter convention battle that could rend the party at its seams, are rethinking their commitment to the Texas senator.

Donald Trump has really crossed the line this time!

Well, I suspected such a thing. I also find a 500 thousand dollar payoff to the sleazy doughnut woman, speaks of something filthy going on the shadows.

Maybe she was tripped up on the stairs on purpose.

If there is immorality involved, it will come out at some point in time where the repercussions are devastating and irreversible.

By not dropping out after NY, or at least after the ACELA primaries, and continuing a hopeless campaign, Cruz has lost any hope of being a well-paid DC lobbyist.

If he continues after Indiana, he will become nothing more than the punch line for standup comedian’s bad jokes.

Heidi’s career at Goldman depends on her being married to a Senator. It’s a marriage of convenience but that’s the source of their wealth.

i don’t know, I asked Drudge but got no answer, I reckon calling the restaurant would be the best way to go.

I just called the restaurant, the girl I spoke to listened attentively and then in answer to my question of did it happen, said “I have no idea, I don’t work weekends.”

She also told me Steve, the manager, would not be in today.

So, did it happen?

I don’t know.
