Trump is feeling “entitled”?

He’s been Chris-crossing the country, giving speeches and kissing babies, just like any candidate. Multiple interviews daily, and he’s paying MILLIONS OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET. I fail to see your “entitlement” angle.

He’s not black. He’s not female. He has no edge that makes hi me “entitled”.

People like him! People like yourself, GOPe cruzbots, are employing liberal talking points and alinsky methodology to try and take him down.

“Entitlement”? That BS.

Sure, Trump flies in and out and holds big rallies, but he ISN’T doing the in-the-trenches hard work of securing delegates, which is what this is all about! He thinks he should win by popular vote, but for good or for bad, that is NOT how the primary process has EVER worked!

You are correct and I only learned that from watching places like Colorado this year.

Knowing what I know now, I need to decide whether to support that type of process come November. I'm leaning no.

Trump either knew the rules and was lazy, or he didn’t know the rules and he was lazy in not knowing them. Either way, blaming this on Cruz ignores Trump’s ignorance.

Trump has no power to challenge the CO GOP rules committee before the fact.

However, after the fact, he has the power to inform CO Trump supporters and others that they were closed out of the process...and this is exactly what he is doing.

If Jeb (or Rubio or...) had been running against Trump in CO instead of Cruz, the CO GOP would have shut our Trump delegates in favor of Jeb's.

Cruz is merely a patsy for the GOPe.

I think Trump deliberately let Colorado go so he could use it to show how corrupt politics is.

Trump directly reaches 10+ million with each tweet and facebook post, then there are shares and retweets. He can reach 20 million people in minutes.

The GOPe: Not just too big to fail. So big we don't even need your votes.

You donate. We decide. That's the order of things.

This is just the hail Mary antics of a guy who knows he has no chance to win. He is facing overwhelming defeat in the NE primaries coming up.

April 26th Cruz hits the mathematical wall. Soon after that Trump will rightfully start calling for him to GTFO so the party can unify. Other prominent figures will begin to suggest it also. Voters will start to question why Cruz wants to be a spoiler. He’s going to have to exit the race.
