It doesn’t matter how far a lead he has, as we have seen it’s OK if Cruz just steals his delegates because who cares about the voters. We must have people who know better choose our leaders for us.

The better Cruz does in voterless contests like Colorado and Wyoming and the more people understand that in states like Arizona where Trump won 2 to 1 but all of the delegates chosen are now Cruz operatives... the more his popularity tanks with the voters. Up until Colorado a lot of people were buying the better ground game thing. Voters no longer see this as a “better ground game”, they see this as manipulating the system, disenfranchising the voters, back stabbing, cheating and outright thievery. Ted publicly celebrating these types of hollow “victories” has pushed this too far. People do not this going to a contested convention with the insiders picking the nominee. I suspect that Ted will polling significantly lower than Kasich after New England.

Ted’as favorite comment:

“If I can find a way to cheat, I’ll win! in Jesus’ name, Amen.”

Yep, and this supporters think that’s swell.

We have a lot of GOPe trolls here.

That’s not enough
It needs to be a 77% lead

I definitely want an undisputed first ballot nomination for Donald Trump and pray that Paul Manafort’s perfect track record remains intact.
Had not visited any of the prediction markets recently, was afraid to look. However, in light of this post, I just scanned the forecasts for the remaining contests and was pleasantly surprised. Trump now has an edge of 65% to 35% in CA, for example.
Wish that both Cruz and Kasich finally decide to pack it in after June 7, allowing Trump the valuable time to both prepare for the convention and aim all his fire at the dems!!

You accuse Cruz of stealing. If something was stolen then that means a crime was committed. Why don’t you phone the police?

I think it is obvious that Trump dominates among those among us (very likely non-Christian or nominal Christian) who lack understanding of charitable speech.

I think it is obvious that you're incapable of writing an intelligible sentence.

The person who posted this article would not reply to my question whether this person were paid by Trump or a Trump affiliated or supporting entity. I disclosed that I am not paid by anyone to be or post here or anywhere else and that I make a monthly payment here. I know that you would also fully disclose your status as being non reimbursed in any way shape, manner or form. Please show the person that posted this article how easy it is to say, no I’m not paid for offering my opinion. I will certainly accept this person’s statement as truthful. And I will never again think of this person as a Trump troll, since you mention trolls.

You’re welcome to think whatever you like. I don’t really care.

I haven’t changed what I support in the 18 years I’ve been here.

I still think the GOPe is corrupt, they are working hand in hand with the Democrat party, and they are trying to prevent us from righting our ship of state.

Ted has decided to help them block Trump.

I don’t like that. I would never like someone helping the GOPe try to prevent change, a correction to save this nation.

I feel your pain and you are absolutely right. Cruz and his supporters are aligned with Priebus and the GOPe. Cruz and his supporters should be ashamed.
