Square that circle for me please in straight forward conservative language...
BTW, SoothingDave, Slyfox & beandog - I got a new nickname for your guy Cruz, in light of what the Uniparty did in Wisconsin:
The Unipatsy. :)
I think the “meltdown” was the odd campaign statement.
In politics things are ultimately judged by their results. If Trump picks up enough delegates to win then he is doing it right. If he fails to win on the first ballot and sees his delegates melt away then he chose poorly.
I want to see Trump win, but I don’t think either man on his team is going to make a whole lot of difference. Maybe some, but not much because I think Trump burned a couple of major bridges.
1) He shouldn’t have sent that re-tweet of Cruz’s wife...the ugly woman. Trump was already on the edge with women, and there are a lot of ugly, but good women out there. Unfortunately, too many of them identified with that tweet.
2) If that wasn’t enough, he followed that up by wobbling on his pro-life stance. There are MORE prolife people than prodeath. He should have held a strictly pro-life stance. He’s talked about the rule of law, but then wobbled about who should be penalized for violating laws against abortion. People didn’t hear the words ‘’illegal’’ abortion just like they don’t hear ‘’illegal’’ immigrant.
3) He said he’d stand by Lewendowski, but then shuffled him to the back of the line, and put another in his place the very next day. Will he do that to America, too, after saying he’d defend us?
Trump is not politically correct, and I get that. However, bull in a china shop that he is, he’s failed to learn political finesse which is a tad bit different from political correctness.
I might be completely wrong in my assessment, but that’s what it looks like to me from the outside.
On the other hand, nobody expected to see him win Wisconsin, and I think I heard that North Dakota is a weak spot for him as well. I AM suspicious about the USB stick in the voting machines as reported by someone who does the work at one of the polling places. I have to wonder how many of those places had the usb stick inserted into the computer, and produced Cruz wins, and how many didn’t have the usb stick which produced Trump wins. Did it happen at only high populace areas?
One other thing that does bother me about Trump is his running off at the mouth about his suspicions without having solid stuff to back him up. If he had solid info to back him up, then by all means let the mouth run, but if not, then do something different.
With that said, I do hope things begin to perk up for him. He needs to pull bigger percentages in the big states that he does expect to win.
As I recall, Kasich was consistently polling in the low 20% range. He ended up with just 14%.
Once Trump smokes Cruz in NY will “sources” be saying the same thing about Ted Cruz’s campaign?
tRump invited the Clintons to his third wedding also.
It’s good to be a tRumpster. Where Wisconsin is now a liberal state and New York is now a conservative state.
Good. The sooner Trump is gone, the better. It really seems as if Trump is just on a kamikaze mission to inflict as much damage to the Republican Party as possible anyway, to make way for his friends Clinton, Schumer, and Pelosi. Trump seems to hate really hate conservatives Republicans. He goes after them with a real viciousness.
He gave money to your liberal as well
I doubt very much he’s lost his touch.
I do believe that he didn’t expect this thing to gel as it has, and as a corollary, for the artillery leveled at him to be 24/7 with venomous intensity. There’s nothing he could have done about Utah or Wisconsin. And rightly or wrongly, its not absurd to assume that most votes wins, not most votes gets fewer delegates unless you are in with the in crowd.
Lessons are being learned and he’ll cash the ticket or they aren’t being learned and it will all have been for naught. If he figures out how to do the politico business better than the seasoned hands in just a few months at the highest level there is, for one fifth of the cost, it’ll say a lot about not losing his touch.
Yes I noticed that a lot Trumpsters keep saying today that Wisconsin is GOPe. Yet just one year ago quite a few Trumpsters loved Scott Walker who has done wonderful things for Wisconsin. Now Scott Walker is GOPe even though he crushed the teachers unions and lowered taxes, one of which Trump dissed...
100,000 votes "evaporated" from the Democrat totals in 2008.
I think they showed up in the Milwaukee area counties, under the Cruz column. Yeah, that's it! THAT'S the ticket!
The Big City SUDDENLY went "Evangelical". LOL!
Yes arlie, I am sure you hated Cruz just 24 months ago when he stood up to Obama on immigration while Trump was meeting with Dreamers....
Infighting among your top subordinates is a sure way to lose.
One year ago Walker was what we had to settle for. A better option showed up and the GOP circled the wagons to crush him. Walker sided with the GOP because he needs to get out of debt.
Cruz did not stand up to anyone
Trump bought your liberal as well
Like you said, he is good at buying liberals
“Blast “Teddy Bear” all you want for colluding with the GOP-e; but the fact is - that worked. “
Good boy.
Get back under daddy Mitt’s table, and try to keep your “I’m a true conservative” barking to a minimum, the real power is trying to work up here”.
“If Trump is such a hot shot “Art of the Deal” power broker ...”
The dealing is not over with yet. Cards are still hidden.
You know calling Cruz slimy actually may be true. Calling Cruz a liar may also be. Calling him a liberal, especially compared to the militant RINO Trump is just bizarre...
I would say that for a rookie politician beating out 15 other career experienced candidates....hes doing pretty good!
