Cruz’s floating delegates and bragging rights victory in Iowa still means Trump gets momentum to 1237 on the first vote.

Cruz would be doing a few points better if wasn’t boasting and didn’t lie about Ben.

The next two weeks are the weeks Cruz is left behind.

The guy those guys are supporting isn’t Trump, it is Cruz.

Well, thanks to Donald Trump pushing the NBC issue we now have a definitive court decision (the Pennsylvania case) settling the issue. Now it won’t be a general election issue.

Oh, how I do detest hyperbole as a 'defense'.

Other than a setup for some pathetic ad hominem snark from you, what has my "age" to do with anything?

Like it or not, henceforth, every single time I see you post, I will remember the revelation of that serendipitous quote, from your very own keyboard.

And I will smirk, knowingly.

I'm considering adding it to my tagline, it's just *that* priceless.

It's in the Constitution.

It is also VERY clearly written out in the study guide that our government hands out to those studying to become Naturalized Citizens! Go look it up...that's on line.

I don’t care who THEY’RE supporting, what matters is the nominee. Cruz is a conservative. Trump is a liberal/moderate. I will vote for no more Republican liberal/moderates. I’ve been fooled too many times. Little Donald is just more of the same.

No there isn't.

You are wrong.

I won’t be able to sleep tonight knowing that some stranger on the Internet that I will never meet thinks I’m a hypocrite.

President Clinton? That’s fine. They told me the same thing with McCain and Romney. You Trump people can’t blackmail me into voting for yet another GOP liberal like Trump by using the scare tactics of the threat of another Dem presidency. You want to nominate another liberal/moderate like Little Donald? Go ahead. Just don’t count on conservatives to carry your water for you YET AGAIN at the ballot box. Romney was one time too many. Trump doesn’t get my vote.

Donald J. Trump is NOT "little", but YOU are; you also have no common sense at all; sadly.

N.Y. is NOT going to be Trump's "last hurrah", as he is going to go on to win Pa., Ct., R.I., Delaware, Maryland, and N.J.! Do you know how many delegates that all adds up to? LOL

And he'll do well in California too!

We’re trying to box in some scenarios that Romney-Cruz will hatch to take Trump out and still save face enough to act as if they are dignified.

You and I know they don’t care. But what can we expect to see is the question.

Romney controls the GOP, he is still the head of it. As such he has access to all the apparatus; the phone lists, the names and numbers of the district and precinct captains etc.

The RNC and other organs of the GOP constantly mail out flyers to ascertain who is wanted, Trump, Cruz, Kasich, Other. Then they get the address, phone etc. Then they drill down to likely #NeverTrump types. Then they set them out to fill out delegate candidacy forms, and then spur them on to conventions with marching orders.

So this is how they are running ahead on the so-called ‘ground game’. They are using their database. I will bet they denied Trump access to it.

Keep in mind, in case you didn’t know, that Romney is one of the most dishonest persons alive today. Note that the tone, culture and environment he sets and creates, starts from his view of what’s outside him, and from that starting point, it flows downhill.

This isn’t so much about Cruz, Cruz is Romney’s stooge. This is Romney.

If we accept that Romney is the ‘mastermind’ behind this, then it’s safe to say he doesn’t allow Trump to reach 1237 even if Trump reaches 1237+.

This is not my throwing thoughts around. It’s already been published here:

http://lawnewz.com/important/how-the-gop-could-steal-the-nomination-from-donald-trump-even-if-he-wins-majority-of-delegates

2ndDiv wisely found a nonanswer. Of course he thinks it would be great if there were defections from Donald’s 1237+.

What “momentum”? There is NONE for him, on the entire Eastern Seaboard!

The author of the article has gotten too far ahead of himself because Cruz has no strength in the remaining states while Trump does have a lot of strength & is growing.

No, I am right. My source is Trump himself. He brags about buying politicians. He is a stereotypical Crony Capitalist.
