“Safe Bets” got us Dole, Bush, McCain and Romney.

No I am asking 2ndDivisionVet personally, is he in the employ of the Cruz campaign?

Yes or no, 2ndDivisionVet?

“If it’s in Gateway Pundit or Conservative Treehouse it must be true.”

When you post from the sources you referenced I will give due consideration.

I'm sure a lot of the Cruzer trolls on FR are getting in on some of these ENORMOUS bucks of the Cruz superpacs. It's out of the same pot they are paying "conservative" media as well as "stolen" delegates. This is a large scale organized crime syndicate.

Under regulations established in the 1980s, delegates cannot take money from corporations, labor unions, federal contractors or foreign nationals. But an individual donor is permitted to give a delegate unlimited sums to support his or her efforts to get selected to go to the convention, including money to defray the costs of travel and lodging.

From the Washington Post, 4/11/16.

Although I would prefer a Pres. Trump, I have to agree with the author. Trump presents himself very differently on various occasions. And not in a good way. Many times, he will say something poorly thought out or quite wreckless, something we who would vote for him are just expected to shrug off.

Wasn’t it just two days ago that Donald said were he in office, he might approve selling malfunctioning missiles to Iran, just to hobble their progress and security status. What? That’s not something he should even be joking about, at least not publicly. Donald shakes my confidence when he does dumb stuff like that, shooting himself in the foot over and over.

Please answer the question.

It doesn't matter whether 2DV is a paid propagandist or not.

The stench of desperation emanating from the Cruz campaign is growing stronger with each passing day.

It's directly proportional to the frequency of 2DV's posting of clumsy and feeble GOPe propaganda, such as this National Review tripe...

2nd Amendment doesn’t work for Cruz, but he is gonna enjoy stringing you along.

No one on this board has any business condemning Cruz. It’s only recent-infiltrators from the left.

I could accept a Cruz loss in November. Principled conservatism. Not so with Trump.

What is NOT propaganda is the Cruz “BRUTUS” litmus test that TRUMP supporters under go.

To be selected as a delegate for TRUMP, you must promise to vote for Cruz on all ballots following the First Ballot. TRUMP supporters must lie convincingly to even be considered for a vote.

TRUMP’s “Earned delegates” are frauds. They are largely Cruz supporters. This will have to be addressed.

Hopefully, they will be ejected at the National Convention.

yes, it’s very safe to say that Cruz would not win any more states than Romney. He would safely lose. Very safely lose, and it wouldn’t be close.

I don’t know about that.

I have known 2ndDivisionVet for quite a while on this board. He however is different this time around. Very, very much into promoting Cruz. Big time, promoting Cruz. As in constantly.

Out of character, in fact.

I am asking 2ndDivisionVet whether he is paid to post pro-Cruz nonsense on this board.

Don’t listen to the haters. They cannot imagine why you would spend time on something you truly believe in. They think like their candidate who has been all over the map and changes his stance on issues five times over the course of one minute.

If Ted gets the nomination, I’ll vote for him over Hillaryous Rotten Criminal…but Tom Cruise would have a better chance of beating her, especially in New York or California.

Don’t need safer, need revolution. Need to destroy corruption in government and end the reign of oligarchs. Need to end crushing bureaucracy and stop government intrusion. Need constitutional government, laws that are just and enforced. Cruz will give us none of that. Trump will do at the very least some of it. We must do the rest.
