It was the GOPe that gave the CO delegates to Cruz and shut out the Trump delegates...not Cruz’s great ground game.
bump your comment.
I don’t love Katich, but if he were VP we can count on having one hell of a Post Office Department!
lol!
Oh too bad. Maybe Ted should drop out now since he can’t get to 1237. Kasich is probably helping Cruz in the NE by draining Trump votes
I really preferred Cruz as Trump VP, but Cruz wasn’t mature enough to realize that 2016 was not his time for the top of the ticket. If he had behaved himself, a Trump/Cruz ticket would be in place right now and the vast majority of people here would have been happy.
Patience is a virtue and Cruz doesn’t seem to have too much of that, sadly. He would have been totally set up for 2020 or 2024, where he would still be a young man in his 50s.
Trump might have to settle for Kasich, playing traditional Presidential politics. Kasich gives Trump the nomination and then works to salve the wounds with the GOPe and Congress.
In addition, Kasich helps Trump win OH, MI and WI in the general.
I wonder if that’s what the Soros money to Kasish was for?
I don’t love Kasich either, but I’ll take him as a VP over being cheated by the establishment only to watch Paul Ryan lose to a commie or a globalist crook. And you are right about the Post Office!
I believe you’ll find it more Kasich’s doing than Trump’s.
Kasich has the same goal as Cruz — a brokered convention. That should be clear.
BIG job for Kase ick.
Postage stamps decrease in price today!
Postage stamps decrease in price
For the first time in almost a century the cost of stamps will drop. (SBG photo)
EUGENE, Ore. — For the first time in almost a century the cost of stamps will drop.
However, adding little more spare change in your pocket could have some consequences.
The Postal Regulatory Commission is requiring the 4.3 percent exigent surcharge of stamps to be reversed by April 10, 2016.
The P.R.C oversees costs for the U.S Postal Service, and when the Great Recession happened they allowed the exigent surcharge to help the financial loss of $7 billion dollars during.
In 2014 the service increased its rates temporarily by three cents to 49 cents per stamp. Since then, the Postal Service has collected more than four and a half billion dollars.
“It’s a step in the right direction,” Elmira Resident Todd Stebbeds said.
Both Stebbeds and Pat Williams said this price change could make the mail delivery service more competitive.
“If they can get more business out of lowering the cost of stamps, maybe that’ll help them,” said Stebbeds.
“All of the prices that keep going up need to be looked at with the idea that things can be lower price,”Williams said.
The Postal Service says the two cent reduction will decrease revenue by approximately $2 billion per year.
Postmaster General and CEO Megan J. Brennan released the statement online that said reducing the prices is “an irrational outcome considering the Postal Service’s precarious financial condition.”
“The post office needs some extra money they just got rid of a lot of jobs is what I’ve heard,”Springfield Resident Melvin Niles said.
Locals are taking both sides of the price change issue. Springfield resident Janet Cowan said, “Well I think it’s something that should’ve happened a long time ago.”
“But I don’t really think it makes a difference for us; it’s two cents,”Melvin Niles added.
Cowan said: “I stand in those lines and it seems like they have enough room for five people, and they have two people working. I don’t really see how it could get any worse than it already is. So you know it’s kind of like that catch-22.”
The cost of stamps drops down to 47 cents, sealing the cost of postage for now. The last time there was a decrease in the price of postage was back in July 1919.

In close-up pics of Kasich he has lizard-people eyes like Jarrett.
:-D
Let me make that clear, the powers that be would find a way to make Kasich the president if he were VP and trump the President, I would be worried sick for Trump if he picks Kasich ....
I didn’t know that! Thanks!
THIS WEEK = Ya know, that Kasich guy ain't so bad
Trump does not seem to know them.
Just say’n
Kasich wants to grant amnesty immediately and told Christian bakers to stop whining. He even admitted he should have run as a democrat. He is a related and a liberal, but then I repeat myself.
Cruz staying in long past his expiration date has forced some odd alliances for TRUMP simply because of the shenanigans and the heavy handed Cruz/RNC tactics from the county level to the state level to the National Convention.
Brace yourself.
In the older days, gentlemen candidates got out and united behind the obvious frontrunner garnered from the popular vote. These men saw they had no path to the numbers and assisted the leader with the overwhelming numbers to finish the race.
These volunteer rubes from the grassroots have been rounded up to subvert the popular vote.
Decent people won’t participate in such a blatant abuse of the peoples choice, lining up against the people to kill off their candidate of choice by the millions of votes.
The delegate crap should end with the Earned Delegates and on the First Vote.
There is no purpose for the subversion gang of delegates showing up in Cleveland.
