"We understand completely. Ted Cruz lost at the ballot box and now is trying to steal the nom with the help of the establishment. How principled. How Anti-establishment."

We DO understand completely. Cruz trying to backdoor the nomination is EXACTLY the same as the "if you can't win what you want in Congress, go through the courts" logic the Establishment has been using for years.

I, for one, am absolutely fed up, sick and tired of the Bush-Clinton-Obama parsing of what the meaning of "is" is/the law means what it means the way I read it and interpret is BS that's been going on in Washington for decades.

Your beef is with Trump.

It isn’t Cruz’s fault that Trump is late to the delegate battle.

Have you admonished Trump supporters similarly for their tone?

Lazy Don didn’t setup a delegate team until his clock was halfway cleaned. Now he bitching about it.

Grow up Donny.

I am arrogant. Readily admitted.

As for Clinton/Bush... If that is the best you got, you aren’t worth the effort.

Exactly. Even posters here that I’ve long agreed with have fallen for the BS.

Acrimony and tabloid divisiveness appear to be the way we are discussing things these days.

What part of 198 EARNED delegate lead did you NOT understand??

Instead, you're going to back the guy who's going to backroom deal his way into the nomination

How very ESTABLISHMENT of you!

A smart guy like Trump (in case you don't know just how smart he is, just stand still for 30 seconds and he'll enlighten you) should read the rules before he puts his money down at the 21 table!

Yo, sunflower, Trump owns the table, yeah he's that smart. And you are still trying to decide if you should double down on 11 when the dealer shows a six.

A sentiment so nice, you had to say it twice.

And yes, I’m going to back the guy who is playing chess instead of checkers.

Once the National convention chooses who goes on the Ballot in November, I’ll support that candidate.

Can you say the same? Or are you going to take your ball and go home to let the Democrats drive the final nail in our Countries coffin?

What part of “majority” don’t you understand?

The guy who gets a majority of the delegates wins the nomination. Not the guy with the “most,” the guy with a majority.

If no majority, then delegates decide. So who the delegates are can matter very much.

No one told Trump until last week and now he and all his cultists are mad.

Two million vote difference. Cruz shows no ability to win states that Romney lost. 37% is 10% above your boy and was that in a crowded field. After this next two weeks, the gap will be even bigger.

It is a vast majority.

And why would an outsider spend “years” to make rule changes? Your thought processes are so MYOPIC and can only thought of in an establishment point of view. You’re so deep you can’t even see the grass around you.

Where is the vote? Where is the consent of the governed? Or has the GOPe given up all that as pretense?

This isn’t Trump’s first flirt with the presidency.

The consent of the governed is in November.

You do realize that presidential primaries for both major parties were a 20th century invention?

And he’s had many years to actually get involved, try to change what he didn’t like and learn about the process.

It’s not the fault of the GOP or Cruz that he chose not to.
