Oh its crying time again
Trump’s gonna win it
I can see a tear drop fall from Boner’s eye..
I can tell by the way the Gop has acted
That it wont be long until its crying time

Oh its crying time again
Jebbie’s unhappy
Cause the GOP had promised him the crown
Now hes turning blue and drumming his wee feeties
And the angry words and tears are fallin down

Oh its crying time again
Rube’s having kittens
Walker’s playing catch up in between the sobs
I cant see Lindsey cause he’s under water
This is a long time coming crying time

Oh its crying time again
Cruz looks so good now
Hes heading for the finish of this race
If Trump wins this next year then Cruz will surely place
The rest fall out to an early crying time

Oh its crying time again
Trump’s gonna win it
I can see a tear drop fall from Boner’s eye..
I can tell by the way the Gop has acted
That it wont be long until its crying time

Hillary was also dropping like a rock in Vegas odds making.

Things are getting really bad for Hillary I hear, when she has to bring up hustling for super delegates, 14 months out in August, 2015!!

That is pretty astounding. Do you hear Jeb or Rubio or even Trump counting super delegates in August? LOL! She must be desperate, truly.

Sorry - I don’t get this. Go back and look at Trump’s history. He is not someone you can trust as a real conservative.

Cruz is an EXCELLENT candidate. A solid conservative. Who has been taking the GOPe on for 2 years.

If nominated I might be persuaded to vote for Trump but I think Cruz is a FAR better choice.
