Cruz, Kasich In Panic, Join Forces As Campaign Money Dries Up (Vanity)

Posted on 04/25/2016 4:59:42 AM PDT by JLAGRAYFOX

Ted Cruz & John Kasich have teamed up in open, underhanded fashion to do in Donald J. Trump from winning the 1237 delegates, that Trump requires to gain the GOP POTUS nomination. Basically they have divided their campaign staff's, with each concentrating on specific states, in which only one of them will campaign in each state assigned to them. This is a panic, "Hail Mary Pass" to stop Trump cold in his pursuit of the 1237 delegates, that would give DJT the POTUS Nomination. In essence, it provides for "one on one" scenerios running against Trump. Why, you ask? Both the Cruz * Kasich campaigns are in freefall, both campaigns are running out of donor campaign money to sustain their already failing efforts to defeat Trump.

Can you imagine if such a scheme were to be successful? Folks it would destroy the Republican Party outright. Why? Because failed candidates, Cruz & Kasich, using "smoke filled back rooms political tactics" to prevent Donald Trump from being chosen the winner of the Primaries needed for the POTUS nomination on a level, fair playing field..

Reince Priebus, the RNC Chairman should put a stop to this practice immediately. I expect & trust he will not do anything, for he is in bed with these shysters. The words honest and fairness are not in the Priebus vocabulary.

As for you folks that are voting in these campaigns, I suggest that none of you should cast one vote for either Ted Cruz or John Kasich in the upcoming primaries, starting tomorrow with, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Maryland, Delaware & Connecticut. The will of the American voter must be protected and not poisoned or voided by corrupt politicians, who are only interested in their own evil purposes. A vote cast for either Cruz or Kasich is a totally wasted and underhanded. Support & vote in massive numbers for DONALD J. TRUMP in 'ALL" remaining GOP POTUS Primaries.

“Cruzers are complaining because Trump’s support is building. If Trump hadn’t entered the race, Cruz might well be on top.”

If Trump hadn’t entered the race, Jeb would be the nominee by now.

Canada Cruz and John Kasich have now declared the obivous.

Cruz and Kasich are regional candidates, of interest to only selected pockets of the United states.
Cruz and Kasich admit they have neither the organization, nor appeal, to win a national campaign against the Democrats

I’m reminded of one of my favorite games, the first Sega “Mortal Kombat,” in which, after you beat every enemy hero individually, you have to do a challenge match with two of them!

Your thoughts, inputs & opinions, please.

Here's mine: those two losers might as well exchange bodily fluids because they've already checked in to the GOPe NoTell Motel:

So if someone acts in unethical ways to point that out is wrong? I guess you would prefer that Hillary never be criticized either. Trump has opened a lot lf eyes to how the GOPe and some media view We the People.

The penalty for a Republican loss in Nov. is far worse that the penalty for a Trump loss at the convention

NO IT ISN'T !!! If the nomination is stolen from Trump, the insider globalist elitist backstabbers have spit on the will of the people! If that happens, the nation is gone any way. Let the dems have it!

Mygosh, what world are you guys coming from?

The Cruz-Kasich merger is out in the open, announced by both campaigns, and perfectly legal. Therefore, this arrangement is NOT collusion as suggested by The Donald!

Trump loves to play the victim...just like all good Liberal Democrats! Think about it!

The way I see it, Donald is soiling himself over this because he can do basic addition...

559+148 = 707

While 845 is still greater than 707, the numbers show that Cruz and Kasich may be able to march into Cleveland with a very credible alternative ticket that could appeal to most at the convention. Cruz-Kasich just rolls off the tongue!

Plus, you have two strong Conservatives uniting both ends of the party spectrum, a young Constitutional visionary working with an experienced pragmatic budget-cutter! Contrast a party unifying Cruz-Kasich team with the Liberal Trump-Whoever (Oprah, Bernie, Kanye, Omarosa, Carson, Christie) ticket? What self-respecting Conservative Republican will have the stones to embrace Trump as his VP? Jeff Sessions? Think about it!

And then, if you throw in Rubio’s 171 delegates plus the current ~100 RNC-controlled delegates...

559+148+171+100 = 978 (before the remaining primaries get counted)

These exciting possibilities may be why Mr. “Art-of-the-Deal” was blowing kisses to Rubio last week, hinting at VP! Think about it!

You know, if Donald is secretly calling “Little Marco” to obtain his delegates in exchange for the Vice-Presidency, that might be actual “collusion”! Trump is always prone to project his own bad behaviors and foibles upon others...think about it!

Sadly my friend...you are wasting your time on a lost cause. But.....continue dreaming, happily today....for tomorrow evening, Tuesday, April 26, 2016...you are going to have a bad evening!!! Your boy, Ted Cruz destroyed his own campaign by bad mouthing New Yorkers and, in the process eliminated half the country from his camp!!! Soon, reality will overcome you, and you will have to live and survive in the real world.

Chiropractors will be busy for months trying to help Cruz supporters with the pain from the contortions they do to defend dirty Teddy. I have never seen so many people work to defeat a man who will work hard to save this nation. It is embarrassing.

I think it is important that any campaign be able to play the game within the rules.

It is important when a desperation gambit fails...precisely because it was desperation.

It will only serve to confuse voters tomorrow in the northeast primary, and that will keep cruz/Kasich voters home OR it will drive them to Trump.

So, I don’t mind those campaigns doing this. If Trump can defeat these 2 with one army tied behind his back, then it makes it absolutely obvious in public that they have lost big time.

Trump will be the big winner following their admission that they are only spoilers working on behalf of the establishment.

If Hillary wins, things will get far uglier than most of us imagine. Perhaps it's time for our second Civil War, but I'm not going to enter that catastrophe casually. A second war to defend states' rights may be better than the alternative under Hillary, but it will be more terrible than anything that any of us have ever experienced. I am not eager for it to start.

Do you really think catastrophe can be avoided if the nomination is stolen from both Trump and Sanders? Throughout history, folks are at their most willing to cause a violent change when they're given hope and then it's taken away from them.

There is NOTHING acceptable about this collusion. The Republican Party wanted a "bigger tent". They got it. Now you're saying it's okay to take the tent away?

I think your idea about money might be right. Was just listening to Beck and he said something very revealing. He said that Trump could just cut a $20 million check, but big donation were drying up for Cruz because the big donors want something in return for their donations.

He then went on to exhort his listeners to donate time and money to Cruz even if it hurts.

Beck is good friends with Barton, who runs a Cruz superpac, so it’s not a stretch to think that he knows something about Cruz’s money situation.

Cruz’s money isn’t drying up: I looked up the FEC reports and he raised and spent about 12 million this past month and has 8 million in the bank.

This WSJ article from 5 days ago confirms that:

BTW, I’m a die-hard Trump supporter.

Ted Cruz & John Kasich are the laughing stock and total buffoons across the entire country. The “Trump” polls are rising off the charts. Where, I ask you...Where is Reince Priebus to stop this farce and shyster scheme of Cruz and Kasich who are running out of campaign money faster then a New York minute flys by!!! Is there American voter left in the country...that is stupid enough to still cast a vote for either of these deadbeat, losers, Ted Cruz & John Kasich. I guess some folks just like staying stoned, by drinking tons of “jim Jones death Kool-Aid” and then going out to vote for Cruz or Kasich. Ya know the old saying....”Ya can lead a horse to water...but, you cannot make him/her drink”!!! Go figure. LOL!!!
