Are you telling me that leftists are right as long as they attack Trump?

No, I’m telling you that anybody is “right” as long as they tell the truth and present facts. Where in the above article is Mr. Bump lying?

The polling says otherwise. Trump fares the worst against Hillary. He loses...the same polling has Cruz beating her.

Cruz....GOP(e)?

Here's a few of my favorite stats?

August 2001- September 2009- Donald J. Trump was a REGISTERED DEMOCRAT

and

OVER $100K given to the Clintons.

The hypocricy is really getting over the top.

Much more likely that someone who has been here all of two months coming in the middle of this election season is on a payroll. Wouldn’t be the first time.

I remember when I signed up here in 98 and it was an open forum where I could come to read articles about anything happening in the world, but lately it seems that a legitimate posting is now a screed because it questions the political prowess of a certain candidate.

Again it wasn’t about some alleged sex scandal or question of personal faith, but about the reality of a campaign that left out, for whatever reason, a very important part of the process.

Flame retardant suits were only required for extreme opinions, not for postings like Vet did in this case.

If you don’t mind me asking a personal question, do you snow ski or snow board?

He is more politically aligned with them, considering he was a dim as late as 2001-2009.

The assumption for months was that everything would fall into place. That there was no need to really dig in, that the outcome was obvious. And then, too late, it became clear that this optimism was unfounded. Or maybe not too late, but late enough in the process to mean that folks would have to scramble. And now everything is up in the air. The paragraph above describes the Republican establishment’s attitude about Donald Trump’s candidacy, obviously.

Twisted logic, and just bad writing BS -lying crap.

This article keeps getting re-posted.

I guess it is important to a Cruz Supporter.

Cba123, you have been here about two months compared to 2DV being here 10 years. I don’t call anyone a noon, but I think you should wait around a little while before you start making personal judgments about other Creepers.

You’re not finding enough conservative/Republican attack pieces, so you have to dig deeper for your daily dump.

Please show me where this article has already been posted, because it isn’t showing up in search. I just re-checked after I read your claim.

Why is it everything critical of Trump is part of a grand conspiracy by the GOPe?

I call it "The Trump Effect"...projecting the emotional immaturity of their leader...

Granted its the Washington Post but it chides the Trump Campaign for not understanding the Primary process in that the “ground game” is real and failing to play it has negative consequences.

No, no, no...a thousand times NO!!!

Didn't you get the meme ?

Cruz is stealing delegates...

Didn't you know Cruz is responsible for Trump not knowing how the political process works...!!!

Sure this looks good for Ted. I dont mind if all the Cruz fans has a few bright moments to cheer for. This is where Cruz has strength - elections run soley by the party in each state and not by the will of the people of the state. Lets see what happens in the end. If Trump doesn’t have 1237 on the first ballot who is to say he cant get a few of these votes back. Trump has hired a master at seducing delegates and has won his candidate the nomination before.
