Free Republic

Ted Cruz & the Republican Establishment had a super bad night in New York, last evening. As I correctly predicted, the Cruz anti-New York remarks did him in , and, DJT slaughtered Ted Cruz politically....across the board. The same repeat act will take place next Tuesday in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland, Delaware % Pensylvania. As for John Kasich...dream on, Johnny Boy, you is going nowhere, fast. Go Donald J. Trump!!!

Utah was a caucus where Cruz only got 120,000 votes, (Trump's minimum margin of victory in most traditional diverse states like Michigan or Arizona or Nevada).

My husband heard the exchange between Sean and Cruz during Hannity Radio show today. I happened to miss it. He said it was quite bizarre, with Cruz being very rude to Sean. Cruz was extremely irritated by Sean's questioning of the delegate fiasco. Cruz sounded like a robot. Anyone else hear the interview?

Credit to Pookie18I don't know about you but I'm sick and tired of this election season. FR has turned into a bickering board of bitter bubbleheads, it seems. Where we used to see Ted Cruz as a principled conservative... we now attack anyone who likes him as a "Cruzite" or "Cruzombie"... what happened? First, there was the attack against him that he played dirty tricks in Iowa by relaying an MSM message that Carson was leaving the race. What would you do? If you are in a popularity contest against multiple opponents, wouldn't you make sure that the votes of...

There are three Greek words that represent modes of persuasion Ethos, Pathos and Logos. Ethos - Ethical appeal, means to convince the audience about credibility or character.Pathos - Emotional appeal, tapping into the audiences emotions.Logos – Appealing to the logic of the audience. Through my studies, I have learned that Pathos, or pandering to one's emotions, is generally the most powerful of all the arguments. You see this in most modern politics “Hope and Change” – Obama or “I feel your pain” – Clinton and so on… Neither of these statements talks about logical qualifications for public office but rather...

Winston Churchill was English. He was English because he was born there to an English father, just as being born in say, Canada, to a Canadian parent, mother or father, would make one Canadian. Winston Churchill's mother was American, right? And after the war, because of his leadership, he was the first person granted by Congress the title of "Honorary American Citizen", or something to that effect. Right? Why was that necessary? Why wasn't Winston Churchill already considered a Natural Born Citizen of the US? His mom was American, wasn't she? Instead of being granted Honorary Citizenship, why wasn't he...

Do not let 'Justice' Kagan manipulate you again, like she did on Obamacare. Do NOT let a President create Law. That is not his position. Do not 'tweak' his Law or you will be creating Law and that is not your position either! Congress didn't act because we already have Laws to deal with immigration. It's just that this Administration isn't bothering to follow the Law. And they sue States who try to enforce the Laws on the books. Our immigration system isn't broken, it is simply that the IMMIGRATION LAWS AREN'T BEING ENFORCED!

It's a vanity, but also a comment to the Trump campaign. Trump came up with "Crooked Hillary" for her nickname, to follow up on his "Lyin' Ted" theme. My wife and I think that while Hillary is totally corrupt, this might not be the best nickname. For one thing, it lacks alliteration. My wife is extremely upset about Hillary's post-Benghazi performance. It's bad enough that she lied to the American public, told different stories (terrorists versus movie) to different heads of state, and to Chelsea. What is unforgiveable in her (our) view, and completely heartless, is the way she lied...

Forgive my vanity in suggesting the best way for Donald Trump to counter the negatives that the Leftist media & globalist business interests appear bent on exploiting, to defeat his candidacy in November. But there is a relatively simple way for him to accomplish several goals with one relatively simple stroke; several goals simply by the effective use of program length television & radio. Consider the false narrative being promoted by various business groups, insistent on an imagined need for their version of both "free trade" & "liberal immigration" policy; a false narrative being given great currency in the media....

The holdouts at Fort Cruz are beginning to understand the grave situation their candidate is in. The Colorado Disaster has taken its toll on Ted Cruz and it is showing in all of the new polls. In New York, Cruz’s numbers show he will be mathematically eliminated from any chance of reaching the 1,237 delegates that would give him the nomination in Cleveland this summer. On top of that, given his very poor showing so far, Cruz is on the brink of finishing 3rd behind John Kasich who has already been mathematically eliminated himself. In Pennsylvania, Cruz is fading and...

"To be suspicious is not a fault. To be suspicious all the time without coming to a conclusion is the defect." -- Lu Xun Donald Trump and his campaign generals have lodged serious allegations and complaints about the 2016 Republican Party rules governing the election of delegates to the National Convention via primaries, caucuses, county/local and state conventions or a combination of these. Words such as "rigged", "fixed", "corrupt" and "broken" have been thrown at the party on state levels in the aftermath of delegates allegedly being 'poached' from the Trump Camp by the Cruz Camp, with the conspiratorial assistance...

Ronald Reagan said years ago "If fascism ever comes to America, it will come in the name of liberalism." Well if you paraphrase these words and replace America with Germany they would be prophetic Just in the past week or two here are three stunning examples-- 1.The liberal German government instructed the police to raid the homes of people who posted on the internet that they did not like Germany's immigration policy. http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/04/07/police-raid-social-media-posts/ 2. A liberal justice minister came out and said that billboards that feature women in underwear or bathing suits need to be banned because they are what...

Then Fat Dracula could cry foul since it was in Trump's back yard.

Now And Then THEN In October 2008, you were a freshman in college, still just 18 years old. You’d already had four years of high school during which your teachers demonstrated the ability to blame everything from cracked heels to rainy days on the occupant of the Oval Office who just happened to be a Republican and who just happened to be named George W. Bush. 9/11 took place when you were still in middle school. You remember your teachers bravely showing up for class the next day and glumly talking about the tragedy that befell New York, Washington DC...

Last evening was neither a pleasant nor productive event for Ted Cruz. Writing relative to the GOP Gala event last evening, held in the "Donald Trump built) Hyatt Regency Hotel on Park Avenue/Grand Central Station, "Politico" writers, Jimmy Viekland & Ben Schreckinger wrote: "regarding the speeches given by John Kasich & Ted Cruz--- "but, back inside, Trumps rivals were getting an icy/cool reception". Cruz mouthed some idiotic verbage, and was totally ignored by the crowd of NY STATE, GOP Biggies. Trump was "Their Man"!!! "The audience, however, was totally uninterested in what Cruz & Kasich had to say, applauding so...

If Ted Cruz were to win the GOP Nomination on the 2nd ballot or further down the line, he will have won the GOP nomination based on STOPPING Trump, not SUPPORTING Ted. That's not really a great way to win is it? Also, if he couldn't beat Trump at the ballot box, how will he beat Hillary?

Have any of you been watching "The Five" lately? What's with Juan? Especially on Tuesdays edition of The Five. When Juan was done speaking, then it was Melissa's turn to speak, and within 2 or 3 seconds, here comes Juan, as usual, trying to silence her as she was trying to form an opinion. Then we had to listen to both Juan and Melissa talking at the same time. It's a wonder Fox hasn't fired Juan from the show at this point. Even today,Juan had to start talking when it wasn't his turn. It seems that Juan Just Never Shuts...

The cable news channels, Fox News Channel (FNC), MSNBC & Cable News Network (CNN) are sadly behind the times in timely news reporting relative to the 2016 POTUS race. Simple....they continue to play up Ted Cruz when the gent is coming apart at his seams. First, Cruz attacks New Yorkers, then yesterday he attacks all Italian-Americans. The neglect of this news is understandable, considering the bias of the cable news channels. But....what is not forgivable, their outright failure to proclaim the political nightmare that Ted Cruz is about to go through in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Rhode...

Why put voters through a bogus process? Is it to give us the appearance we have a choice? I think maybe so. And all that donor money wasted on a bogus process. Hmmmmmmmm. Somebody is getting all those millions spent on the political process.
