While the tactics of chief Donald Trump rival Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97% to win delegates without voters come under intense scrutiny, a quiet, thus-far-little-focused-on development has occurred that could provide a ray of hope for the Trump team fighting political insiders on their home turf. Paul Manafort, Trump’s new Republican National Convention manager, just delivered not only a big win in Michigan’s delegate game: He undercut Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) by throwing a separate victory to Ohio Gov. John Kasich. CNN reported on Saturday evening: Ted Cruz suffered a rare convention loss Saturday after delegates backing John Kasich and Donald Trump boxed him out of key positions in the Michigan delegation. The Texas senator’s campaign ran eight delegates for eight committee spots and lost every one, alleging it was ‘double-crossed’ by Kasich supporters. The Michigan delegation picked one Trump supporter, Matt Hall, and one Kasich supporter, Judi Schwalbach, for the two seats on the powerful rules committee. The Cruz campaign lost votes for both seats. CNN’s Tom LoBianco added in his report that this loss is a major defeat for Cruz—and win for Trump—because seats on the convention’s rules committed are “highly coveted prizes for their role in shaping a contested convention in Cleveland.”

Hey, stop insulting Trump supporters.
Well, we are entitled to our Opinions.
It isn’t Envy? Does that mean you dislike Rich people who come from successful Families in general, or just a Rich person from a successful Family named Donald Trump?
You brought up the trust fund silliness, not me.
No problem my FRiend. Irregardless of the Republican Presidential Primary, I see a successful guy and you see something else.
So be it.
Quoting Trump supporters is logical fallacy? I don’t think they will appreciate you calling their posts “Ad hominem”
LOL~
Logical fallacy: Ad hominem. Again.
Sorry, saying that I’m a doo-doo head doesn’t change the fact that your arguments are vapid and senseless.
Hey, I was just following a along a lot Trumpster posts. If you think they are vapid and senseless, I totally agree with you. See, we are in agreement.
>He worked for both Bushes, hence he is a GOPe cheater. Hey, I am just following Trumpette logic- which happens to change based on who is losing.
Hey do you know who Niel Bush is? GOPe guy who stole from regular people like you and me. Do you know who’s he is working for? Ted Cruz.
I rest my case noob.
>I rest my case noob.
So salty.
BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO TRUMP!! I wish everyone would come to their senses and appreciate how truly blessed we are to have Mr. Trump willing to step forward and offer his leadership for us. It is painful to witness how much disrespect, scorn and deceit he endures, all in the spirit of his patriotic love for his/our country.
Indeed, bringing Manafort aboard gives Trumpsters like me a needed boost of confidence. I have been appalled at all of the obvious signs of organizational weaknesses in Trump’s campaign. It is such a relief to learn that Mr. Manafort has hit the ground running in producing delegate gains for Mr. Trump.
However, while I eagerly await many, many more delegate achievements, I would like to pose a note of CAUTION TO ALL!
As a former journalist, I naturally endeavor to seek out any piece of information I can lay my hands on, but there are circumstances when making details public knowledge can be too risky. To the point, in this age of instant social media and 24/7 MSM, delving into specific delegate stories may undermine Manafort’s strategy. Just think what rival factions might glean from reports describing what he is doing to help Trump; they might then be able to somehow get a few bright ideas as to how to foil his attempts.
I learned how downright dirty politics is from an extremely painful experience in my 20s, that, coupled with my past as in journalism, always forces me to strive for a delicate balance.
Yes, some one younger, likable, virtuous, honest, eligible, electable, like..........not Crews.
If Cruz starts whining, it means Trump is kicking his @ss!
There are a 1000 fathers who lent their kids a million and they lost it all.
Out of 1000 only one will take a million and turn it into $10 billion.
Trump is the one.
It’s dirty because all those except Trump come pre-paid, they’re financed out and owned $. They do what they’re told. These politicians should wear NASCAR style suits so we know who their sponsors are. This is no way to run an election and it reeks bad.
So now that Trump has brought in an DC insider into his inner circle, I guess Trumpstes can now stop accusing Cruz of being a tool for the establishment....?
_____________________________
The difference is that Cruz owes the DC insiders because he is taking their money.
Trump is paying this DC insider to do what he was hired for.
Huge difference.
