There are many inaccuracies in your post but to start - Trump was leading by a wide margin in SC- no one expected Cruz to win.

Fox has exposed just how GOPe they are- and of course, they jump on every move Trump makes- thus feeding the one who sucks the oxygen from the planet and saving him money since he doesn’t have to run many ads.

You haven’t been keeping up.

Donald Trump, Jr. Speaks 2-22-16 Elko NV.
https://youtu.be/1IqfRbjcpDY

It’s a Q and A. Don Jr is more articulate than most candidates in the race! Talks fast, not in a patronizing way and not like he’s lecturing. Lots about government waste, small government, “the left”, the constitution, the second amendment.

“I’m probably the only billionaire’s son more comfortable in a D-10 Cat than a golf cart.”

He personally reloads 100 different calibers.

Don Jr is part of the full court press from Trump.

Very impressive.

Here’s another;

Cruz can beat Trump head to head and whip his butt! But Rubio needs to get out! With Rubio in we are heading for an open convention and a much higher chance that the GOPe will cheat both Trump and Cruz!

Look up how your idol and his son managed to acquire a Virginia vineyard and tell me you admire the sleazy business tactics. They are the very definition of corny capitalists. Supporting TARP and the other bailouts of his Wall Street buddies.

I do not support him.

You do not support him, fine. I cannot stand Ted Cruz’s constant lying and sleezy status quo gutter politics. I bought his book, “A Time For Truth” and actually thought he was “the only principled candidate in the race”. He wasn’t.

Cruz fired his staffer who did not vet the story. I do not believe Cruz is a liar, but rather and honorable man. Political campaigns use every advantage they can find in the rough and tumble battle.

Did you look up the winery sleaze by Trump? That is only one tiny example of his corruption. The press will eviscerate him in the general. If you thought they went after Romney for being a business man- look out if this nation is unfortunate enough to have Trump as a candidate.

Ted Cruz is leaving the race. Don’t waste your vote.

Vote for Carson.

Ted lies and misrepresents. Here are example of Ted’s lies of omission, seven lies and misrepresentations in under three minutes. That is walking the talk “the most principled conservative I the race”???

Lie 1 - Pro-abortion and supporting partial birth abortion.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=RHgqFQ85uZs#t=197

Lie 2 - Trump is calling for the same socialized medicine as Sanders
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=RHgqFQ85uZs#t=216

Lie 3 - pushed partial birth abortion
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=RHgqFQ85uZs#t=239

Lie 4 - Even as a candidate Donald says we need to have full on socialized medicine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=RHgqFQ85uZs#t=298

Lie 5 - at the debates he said we ought to have socialized medicine like Canada and Scotland.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=RHgqFQ85uZs#t=302

Lie 6 - If you as a republican don’t support socalized medicine you are heartless.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=RHgqFQ85uZs#t=312

Lie 7 - If you want to see Bernie sanders style of socialized medicine Trump is your guy

Watch it with the "brown shirt" references, DD. I'm not looking forward to 4 years of Trumpeteer vitriol, but my man Cruz needs to alter his strategy.

After all these years of asking for a principled conservative, millions have flocked to a NY moderate...Democrat or Republican? The vast majority of his positions remind me of this image:

Ted is using Trump’s words against him - stings doesn’t it? Trump engages in name calling in response- not a quality I look for in a candidate. Trump waved his Bible as if he lives by it-just like Bubba. No integrity and shady business dealings.

No. Ted is telling half truths, i.e. lies of omission. He does it all the time. It’s sickening and people see through it. Proof is the blow out in NH and Ted not winning a single county in SC.

“Also known as a continuing misrepresentation, a lie by omission occurs when an important fact is left out in order to foster a misconception. Lying by omission includes failures to correct pre-existing misconceptions.”

I know, right?
That’s what I scream at the TV when Trump brags he hasn’t spent a lot of money but is way ahead of everyone else...
And, remember, Roger Ailes, head of Fox, was a GOPe media dude before...

Rubio has to deflate fast or there’s trouble ahead like you said.
